Russia continues to bring death, destruction, and terror to Ukraine.
Today, a Russian drone attack killed six people in Lutsk and injured 13 more, including a two-year-old child. Two people are in serious condition in hospital.
Civilian facilities were hit, including a wholesale store, a book warehouse, a residential building, and a cultural and entertainment center.

Horrific footage from Kyiv last night.
Russia attacks residential buildings every day.
Civilians are killed every day. Putin does not stop. His goal is the genocide of Ukrainians.
How can sanctions be eased against a war criminal who is only intensifying his crimes?

Trump declared an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. So now, Russia is bombing Kyiv’s energy system with missiles, plunging the city into a complete blackout, while Ukraine isn't bombing Russian oil refineries. Very interesting, very cool.
A residential district in Kyiv, an apartment building. Tuesday night, about 10 p.m. Most people are already home, in bed or getting ready for bed.
Then, in a moment, a Russian ballistic missile changes their lives forever. Even those who were not harmed will have lived through this awful, tragic night (watch the video please). Russia has taken everything from dozens of families - their homes, family mementos, clothes, all their possessions are now gone.
The saddest part is that this story is not unique. This exact scenario has been repeated in thousands of buildings that Russia has attacked in Ukraine. Russia cannot achieve anything on the frontline, so it has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian civilians, and has no plans to stop - on the contrary, it has built new drone launching sites and is increasing missile production.
It is time to accept reality and deal with it - Russia must be stopped. The only way to stop Russia is through force.
Ukrainian DJ Tapolskyi, now serving in the AFU, has recorded a live session from Khortytsia Island (Zaporizhzhia) to fundraise for this unit. During the recording, you can hear and see the explosions from Russian strikes. 💔
🚨 For the 2nd day in a row, Russia has attacked Kyiv with ballistic missile without an air raid alert being triggered. Zelenskyy’s adviser Dmytro Lytvyn says Ukraine received “no warning from partners through the usual channels.” Tonight, the missile hit a residential building.
Kharkiv after last night's Russian attack ‼️
The strike caused severe damage, sparked multiple fires, and killed at least 4 people in a different locations. There is no military purpose to these attacks whatsoever, they are pure terrorism.
What the Russians won't tell you is that the Boombox concerts at the Blockbuster Mall were on May 16–17, when Kyiv was not under near round-the-clock air alerts as it has been since August.
They will also not tell you that the venue has the largest certified bomb shelter in Ukraine and can accommodate 25,000 people (more than twice the estimated number of attendees), which is the only reason a large event can be held there at all.
They will also not tell you that this was a one-off: two nights, the band's first solo shows at home in four years. And they will not tell you that when the same band played the same venue at the Atlas festival last year, an air alert stopped the show and sent the crowd underground.
They will also not tell you about the Dovzhenko Studios in Kyiv and the Brudnyi Pes festival that ran there on June 13–14. The festival closed late in the night and the Russians hit the studios in the early hours of the morning — they damaged 18 buildings and burned 100,000 historic costumes, which you might recall seeing in the news.
A concert is one site with one shelter and a few hours. An election means thousands of polling stations open all day across the country, millions of voters including soldiers at the front and refugees abroad, and a campaign before it. It’s a facile comparison that only Russian propaganda would make.
Fuck the Russians who are trying to turn the rare times Ukrainians try to have a semblance of normal life, in a bomb shelter's parking lot and between sirens, into a propaganda prop.
🚨 BREAKING: Russian missile strike destroys a 4-story residential building in Kharkiv.
Rescuers have retrieved the bodies of 3 victims from the rubble.
At least 15 people are injured, including 1 firefighter. Search and rescue operations remain ongoing as more victims may still be trapped.
While clearing debris following a Russian strike in Kharkiv, a concrete slab collapsed onto rescue workers. One of them is in critical condition.
They are working under unbelievable pressure, with people screaming for help from under the rubble and russian drones continue to attack them at the same time. I hope he will be okay.
Kharkiv tonight.
Russians have committed yet another mass murder. The strike brought down an entire section of the apartment building, burying people alive beneath the rubble of their own homes.

So... Do you see the boy on a scooter?
That was a 16 year old son of my mother's nurse.
Nothing left of him.
That was this woman's only child.
I don't think I have much else to say.
Russians killed him and ripped this woman's heart out.
Trump assists Russia in this.
