⚔️A video of the legendary battle following which the Russians first learnt of the Lyut Brigade

In Klishchiivka, near Bakhmut, our soldiers repelled a large-scale assault by Russian paratroopers in armoured vehicles and completely halted it, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy

In that battle, 14 Russian paratroopers were killed. However, this victory came at a heavy price — we lost our comrades, the soldiers of the «Tsunami» regiment. Their heroic deeds will forever be etched into the modern history of Ukraine.

😰 "It was terrifying": Wildberries employees describe drone attack in Yekaterinburg

According to one employee, they were told that after one drone crashed near the parking lot, more strikes were expected.

"The panic inside is impossible to describe," one woman said.

Another employee criticized the authorities, saying he was disappointed that "a civilian facility handling underwear, tires and sneakers" had come under attack.

🚨 It's now confirmed: there will be a new mobilization in Russia.

How do we know? The Russian government is denying that a new mobilization is planned.

As @DarthPutinKGB says, don't believe anything until the Kremlin denies it.™

Demographic destruction is one of the quietest yet most brutal forms of genocide, and Russia is actively executing it across Ukraine.

When analysts debate Russian genocide, they often focus on child abductions, re-education camps, and mass graves, but the demographic statistics reveal an equally dark reality.

Under the UN Genocide Convention, genocide is defined not just as mass slaughter, but as deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to bring about a group's physical destruction and prevent births within the group.

Moscow justifies its illegal and unprovoked invasion by claiming Ukrainian statehood, history, and culture do not exist, acting on this ideology through forced Russification, family separations, and relentless terror designed to make normal life impossible.

Years of missile strikes, night alerts, mass displacement, and war have crushed Ukraine's demographics. Nationally, Ukraine now records 3.55 deaths for every single birth, up from around two before the full-scale invasion. In frontline regions, the numbers are catastrophic: Kherson Oblast has soared to 14 deaths per birth, while Donetsk Oblast stands at an unbelievable 19 deaths for every newborn.

For comparison, in Gaza, the death-to-birth ratio was 0.19 before the war, reached 0.8 to 1.1 at its peak in 2014, and sits around 0.36 currently. The demographic long-term damage in frontline Ukraine is far more severe.

When you combine these figures with atrocities like the 2022 siege of Mariupol (where up to 88,000, mostly civilians, died in just three months), the intent to destroy Ukraine's future becomes undeniably clear.

Ukraine has no choice but to resist and beat Russia, because living under Russian occupation means total demographic and cultural erasure.

To stop this deliberate erasure, the West must dramatically increase its military aid to Ukraine while applying maximum sanctions and pressure on Moscow

❗️Satellite images confirm: the FP-5 Flamingo missile pierced the roof of a workshop at the Avitek plant in Kirov; the warhead detonated inside with a delay, destroying the equipment. The strike occurred during a work shift with no evacuation — highly qualified specialists of the Russian military-industrial complex were killed.

My world exclusive with the man responsible for the long range strikes has blasted to a million in just 3 days. I’m the first journalist to sit down with his incredible unit @414magyarbirds since the Crimea operation began. The power of independent journalism 🔥🇺🇦🫡

Occupied Crimea: Sberbank ATMs have been hacked and Russian occupiers can't withdraw cash.
Instead of cash, they are greeted with an apt message:
GLORY TO UKRAINE!
FLEE CRIMEA!

🇷🇺 Great news for Russian sellers who lost their products in Wildberries warehouses: the company has finally found it in its heart to offer compensation.

A $138 payout for an $82,400 loss is a generous offer, right?

At this rate, sellers may only need a few centuries to fully recover.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck one of the key military enterprises in Russia's Kirov. It supplies components for the occupier's aircraft and missile systems, which are used, in particular, in the massive attacks against our cities and communities. I thank our warriors for their precision. Our response is entirely justified.

Our long-range sanctions also proved effective against an oil facility nearly 1,350 kilometers away. There were other successful strikes as well. Importantly, the operation against Russian logistics, which supplies the occupying army with drone components, navigation equipment, and military gear, remains underway.

I thank every unit of our Armed Forces, our intelligence agencies, and the Security Service of Ukraine involved in achieving these results. Glory to Ukraine!

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

A reminder that Putin's first attempt to take control of Ukraine also failed, and without razing cities to the ground and killing 1.2 million Russians.

Here's them trying to take Kharkiv by invading government buildings in March 2014.

12 years trying to take Kharkiv - what a loser.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

APPLEBAUM: Belarusian leadership is hedging. They see Russia is not winning the war. They see what is happening in Crimea. Lukashenko probably better informed than Putin. People are beginning to hedge and say that Russia might not win this war, so we'd better have other options.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

The heated debate surrounding Wildberries—whether it was a crime or not, whether it was legitimate or illegitimate, the complaints along the lines of "Why us?" ("We were only selling diapers") and the appeals to sympathy—is nothing more than an attempt to distract from a simple, obvious fact: After five years of war, during which Russia has sought—and continues to seek, day after day (truly *every single day*)—to literally force Ukraine to its knees, it is simply absurd to debate the legitimacy or illegitimacy of these attacks.

I could cite a million reasons why this is legitimate, but—I repeat—that makes absolutely no difference. What matters is the price of the war—a price Ukraine is trying to drive up massively in order to end the conflict.

The man who instigated all this could literally put an end to it with the snap of his fingers. So let him snap—and do it quickly—while there is still something left.

“He is a Nazi,” declared Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the man responsible for Europe’s largest war of aggression since 1945, in response to the appointment of Ukraine’s new Commander-in-Chief, Mykhailo Drapatyi.

It’s always the same refrain from the Kremlin: “Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.”

Meanwhile, Russia continues to commit the very crimes it falsely accuses others of, invading sovereign neighbours, deliberately targeting civilians, torturing prisoners, deporting children, and attempting to erase a nation’s identity and culture.

The Kremlin is everything it claims to oppose, embracing the very methods that defined some of Europe’s darkest chapters.

[Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress]

A Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg, Russia, was reportedly hit in an overnight Ukrainian drone strike. The site is roughly 1,750 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, has become a frequent target as Ukraine says its logistics network supports the Russian military.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

There is nothing more pathetic or contemptible than watching Russians launch what they thought would be a short splendid war to crush Ukraine in a matter of days, only to fail spectacularly in their blitzkrieg.

They wiped entire Ukrainian cities and regions off the face of the earth, committed an unimaginable number of war crimes, plunged Ukraine into darkness and freezing cold during the harshest winter on record, spent years bringing down apartment buildings with sleeping families inside night after night, destroyed supermarkets, children’s hospitals, theaters, and libraries, historic monuments, churches, and cathedrals, murdered people, beheaded and castrated prisoners of war on camera, executed and burned civilians, tortured them, and left mass graves behind.

And now they are hysterically wringing their hands and crying to the heavens because Ukraine is burning down warehouses full of Chinese junk meant for online sales.

“Why is this happening to us? How can there ever be peace with this Ukraine? They hate us!”

Fucking disgusting and pathetic.

Not just Chornobaivka and Mala Tokmachka: the map of Russia’s most dramatic battlefield failures keeps expanding

The crushing defeat of a Russian tank column near Ocheretyne will go down in military history, according to Ukrainian sources.

The defeat became another example of the vulnerability of large armored formations against modern reconnaissance, drones, and precision strikes.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

In Dnipro Region 2 people were killed, and 3 injured in russian attacks‼️

​Russians targeted 3 districts across the region nearly 50 times throughout the day. In the Nikopol district, two women aged 35 and 74 were killed, while rescuers provided first aid to two other injured women.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

With Russians fleeing Crimea, more reports of the local population aiding Ukrainian Forces in striking targets on the penninsula.

Putin's world is imploding.

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the NS Oil refinery in Ulianovsk region, 1,000km away.
The cope nets installed over the entire facility did not help.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

President Zelenskyy:

We have very good results of long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea - vessels involved into transporting military cargo with Iran, and a military ship.

Among other Ukrainian targers was an enterprise in Kirov that supplies components for Russia's strikes on Ukraine, about 1,200 km from our border.
An oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg and a fuel warehouse in Rostov-on-Don.
