🔥 A parade of combat robots — on land, on water, and in the air — took place in Kyiv
With a traditional Independence Day parade impossible during wartime, Ukraine chose a different format.
Ukrainian ground-based robotic systems rolled along Khreshchatyk, naval drones moved across the Dnipro, while military aircraft and combat drones flew overhead.
A Russian state bank sees no reason for optimism: its chief economist predicts Russia’s defeat in the war
Andrei Klepach, chief economist at Russia’s VEB, said Russia will not be able to win a war of attrition as long as Ukraine continues to receive Western support.
According to him, after the wartime growth of 2023–2024, the Russian economy has entered a downturn.
Investment is falling, civilian industries are in recession, while sanctions and Ukrainian strikes are increasing costs.
The economist compared the current situation to the February Revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He does not expect Russia to collapse, but believes the country will almost certainly face a social crisis and fall even further behind the rest of the world.
In Kenya’s Maasai Mara reserve, a leopard was filmed climbing to the top of a tree to silently watch the sunset.
This world is completely understandable to him.
Magyar said to the opposition that they need to go out from the bedrooms of the hungarian people. Children has the chance to live a loved life with a single parent or a same sex couple instead of being harrashed, abused and abandoned. A clear opinion! 🥹❤️
���️ Budapest has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
This opens the way for Ukraine’s EU accession. Hungary will no longer block it.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar:
“Ukraine is the victim and has every right to defend its territorial sovereignty and integrity with every means available to it”
What a refreshing change from Viktor Orbán.
⚡️ “Dictators always lie about the past — but very often tell you exactly what they are going to do,” Garry Kasparov said about Putin
According to Kasparov, Putin openly described the collapse of the Soviet Union as “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century” back in 2005, and later used the 2007 Munich Security Conference to openly challenge the West and NATO.
💬 “Ukraine is the main target now, but it is not the final target. Putin wants to restore the empire and push NATO back to its 1997 borders.”
Kasparov argues that Europe still refuses to take these warnings seriously: “This is no longer a threat. This is a menace.”
🇭🇺 Ukraine has every right to defend its territorial integrity — Magyar
The Hungarian prime minister said that Ukraine’s independence and borders were guaranteed by the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
At the same time, Magyar called for a long-term ceasefire to be reached as soon as possible under international guarantees.
Magyar’s party takes full control of the Hungarian parliament
Tisza wins 141 out of 199 seats — a constitutional majority, even higher than expected. Orbán is left with just 52 mandates.
The new government will be able to amend the Constitution and dismantle the system Orbán built over 16 years.
The main priority is money. Hungary urgently needs frozen EU funds, and negotiations with Brussels are already underway.
Peter Magyar is expected to officially become prime minister on May 9
🚨WATCH: Péter Magyar says If Vladimir Putin calls me, I will pick up the phone. I do not think that will happen.
I will not call him myself, but if we do talk, I can tell him to please stop the killing now, after four years, and end that WAR.
This video shows Hungarians celebrating in central Budapest after the election results on April 12.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's 16-year rule over Hungary came to an end on April 12 in a historic election marked by record-breaking turnout.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
🔥 End of the Orbán era. The opposition secures a constitutional majority
The Tisza party has officially won the election, taking 138 out of 199 seats with 98.67% of votes counted — above the 133 needed for a constitutional majority.
Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz, together with its allies, secured 54 seats, while the “Our Homeland” party got 7.
Turnout hit a record high of 77.8%.
Péter Magyar has already been congratulated by Ursula von der Leyen and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Orbán’s party had been in power for 16 years — now Hungary is entering a new political chapter.
A new prime minister will be elected within 30 days.
Budapest is celebrating tonight! 🎉
Massive crowd on the streets, fireworks exploding behind the Parliament, and thousands singing "We Are The Champions".
After 16 long years, Hungarians are saying goodbye to the Orbán era.
History is happening right now.

🇭🇺 Ahead of elections in Hungary, memes about Viktor Orbán are spreading online
Many of them mock the current prime minister’s ties with Russia.
On Sunday, April 12, Hungary will hold parliamentary elections that could change power in the country for the first time in 16 years. The opposition Tisza party led by Péter Magyar is leading in polls, while long-time Prime Minister Viktor Orbán risks losing power.
⚡️Hungarians distrust Orban, want shift in foreign policy.
