Russia continues its terrorist attacks on Kyiv.
Rescuers are still putting out fires across the city.
In the Sviatoshynskyi district, the body of a woman was found during firefighting operations.
A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics.
A country that rapes and tortures civilians and POWs has no place in the Olympics.
A country that bombs children’s hospitals, then strikes again when medics arrive, has no place in the Olympics.
A country that uses chemical weapons and banned munitions has no place in the Olympics.
A country whose troops drag POWs to death and shoot surrendering soldiers on camera has no place in the Olympics.
A country that is led by an individual wanted for child abductions and war crimes has no place in the Olympics.
A country that employs the Wagner Group, and is responsible for every massacre they commit, has no place in the Olympics.
Russia has no place in the Olympics.
Not under a flag. Not under “neutrality.” Not as individuals.
In 2022, 88% of Russia’s Olympic medals were won by soldiers. That’s not sport. That’s military propaganda.
If you see this, RT and like. Let the International Olympic Committee @iocmedia hear us.
Let the world hear us.
Let justice be louder than silence. #RussiaIsATerroristState
It is amazing and depressing how often Trump has ridden to Putin's aid since becoming President. Just some of his actions include:
1) Cutting off all US military and economic aid for Ukraine
2) Slow walking vital military sales to Ukraine
3) Rehabilitating Putin by inviting him to the USA
4) Trying to bully Ukraine into handing over more of its territory and people to Ukraine
5) Relaxing sanctions on Belarus
6) Starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles leaving Ukraine vulnerable
7) Driving up the price of oil for months when Russia desperately needed money
Its a Russian wish list which the USA has fulfilled. The US is an enemy of freedom and democracy in Europe.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine
" I think, horrifyingly, that Vladimir Putin wants to wipe Ukraine off the map as a country, as a people, as a culture.
And, to me, this really hearkens back to some of the darkest periods of Europe. I think the stakes are so high, not just for Ukraine, not just for Europe, but for the United States. And we must be on the right side of history."
Awesome woman 😉
A migrant from Pakistan is documenting his journey from Peshawar to Moscow. From Russia, Pakistani migrants are transported to Belarus, where they cross into Europe through Poland or the Baltic states. These trips are advertised on social media.
It's a sophisticated system designed to destabilize Europe while simultaneously boosting support for far-right, pro-Kremlin parties such as AfD and Lega.
ZELENSKYY: Do you really believe it would be right to live outside NATO, a country and a people with this level of defensive capability? Ukraine in NATO is a source of extraordinary defensive capability.
“I have a question for you. Do you really believe it? Do you really believe it would be right to live outside NATO, a country and a people with this level of defensive capability? If we already have these capabilities, if Ukrainians already know how to fight like this, then it does make sense for these capabilities to become a part of the alliance's collective defense. That would make all of us stronger. And we already see each other as reliable partners, and it would be only natural to become a part of one common security community. The fact is that we will remain next to the source of the problem, Russia, for a long time. Ukraine in NATO is a source of extraordinary defensive capability” - Ukrainian President on Tuesday, July 7, during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.
KASPAROV: European claims that they can restart negotiations are totally baseless. What are you going to negotiate with Russia?
Putin made no indication that he's willing to discuss peace and everything that's happening in Russia indicates that war is everywhere.
War penetrated every layer of Russian society. Look at Russian budget, Russian propaganda, speeches of Russian officials, general mood in the country.
You have to look at the hard facts, not refer to some buzzwords like "peace negotiations" just because they sound nice.
🇹🇷🇷🇺 "Mörder. Frieden für die Ukraine. Freiheit für politische Gefangene."
Danach floh sie zu ihrem Vater in die Türkei.
Die Türkei flog sie zurück nach Russland.
Die Türkei hat gestern die 24-jährige Aktivistin Ariadna Litvinova nach Russland abgeschoben.
Litvinova hatte im Februar 2025 in St. Petersburg auf Bannern einer Pro-Kriegs-Ausstellung geschrieben: "Mörder. Frieden für die Ukraine. Freiheit für politische Gefangene."
Zunächst wegen Vandalismus angeklagt, wurde der Vorwurf später zu "wiederholter Diskreditierung der Armee" umqualifiziert. Nach einer Lockerung der Maßnahme floh sie zu ihrem Vater in die Türkei.
Am 4. Juli wurde sie nach Moskau geflogen und am Flughafen Wnukowo festgenommen. Sie soll nach St. Petersburg ins Untersuchungsgefängnis gebracht werden.
Kontakt zu ihr besteht seither nicht. Ob Auslieferung oder Abschiebung vorliegt und auf wessen Betreiben, ist offiziell nicht bestätigt.
Es ist der erste bekannte Fall, in dem die Türkei jemanden wegen einer gewaltfreien Antikriegs-Aktion an Russland übergibt – trotz eigener militärischer Kooperation mit der Ukraine. UNFASSBAR.

Die ukrainische Flugabwehr ist weitgehend blank gegenüber russischen Raketen - und die Europäer zucken mit der Schulter. Was wir noch haben, behalten wir für uns. Dass Europa im fünften Jahr des Krieges nicht in der Lage ist, den Ausfall der USA zu kompensieren, ist ein politisches Versagen erster Güte.
Dictatorships look stable until they suddenly collapse.
Tyrants keep power through fear, lies and violence. But no regime can rule forever against the will of its own people.
Belarusians have not forgotten 2020. We know what freedom feels like. And we will reclaim our future.
There is no more important topic for NATO leaders in Ankara than how to provide more missile defense interceptors to Ukraine asap. Defeating Putin in Ukraine very concretely enhances the security of all NATO members. Abstract blather about 5% spending (sandwiched with sycophantic praise for Trump) is a distraction to actual NATO security priorities)
In August 2014, he did what seemed impossible.
As Russia was fueling the war in Donbas, one Ukrainian quietly made his way to the spire of one of Stalin's skyscrapers in the heart of Moscow.
He spent the entire night nearly 180 meters (590 feet) above the ground.
He painted the top of the Soviet star blue, turning it into a blue-and-yellow symbol, and raised a Ukrainian flag above it. In doing so, Pavlo Ushyvets, better known as Mustang Wanted, wished Ukraine a Happy Independence Day and captured the world's attention.
The stunt sparked a major scandal in Moscow. Russian authorities opened a criminal case, arrested several people who had nothing to do with the action, and placed Pavlo on a wanted list. He later publicly stated that he had acted alone to help ensure innocent people would not be punished.
He also sold the exclusive video of the operation to a Russian state propaganda TV channel and donated the proceeds to a Ukrainian volunteer battalion. In the end, Russian propaganda had unknowingly helped fund Ukrainian defenders.
But the most important part came afterward.
Pavlo didn't remain just the hero of a daring stunt. He went on to defend Ukraine with a weapon in his hands. During the full-scale war, he has continued serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Some people deserve to be remembered more often.
Because true legends are not born on television or social media.
They are born where someone has the courage to do what almost no one else would dare.
🇺🇦 If you believe more people should know about Ukrainians like him, share this post.
- russian Peskov:
"Zelensky should today make the decision for Ukrainian forces to leave the territory of Donbas."
🧐
Tell Ukrainians to leave Ukraine?🤦♀️
What dimension do Russians live in?🧐
President Zelenskyy at the NATO Summit in Ankara:
We are now eliminating around 30,000 Russian soldiers every month. Just imagine that scale.
In June alone, nearly 28,000 Russian soldiers were eliminated, and we have video confirmation for every single one of them. The overwhelming majority were struck by drones.
And frankly, we take no pride in this. We are saying this to show what modern war looks like - a war we did not start, but one we are forced to fight.
The Pro-Trump acolytes who like to pretend that they are pro-Ukraine--this is your moment of no return. Condemn Trump for starving Ukraine of Patriots or admit to everyone that you support an American president working with Putin.
And please stop pretending you back Ukraine.
