Russia's gains on the battlefield have slowed considerably. The Institute for the Study of War assesses it's taken "381.5 square kilometers and seized 13 settlements since the start of 2026, and that Russian forces have only seized two settlements and have actually lost 59.79 square kilometers across the theater since March 1."
This, at a time when U.S. military aid to Kyiv has reduced by 99% since Trump assumed office, NATO PURL deliveries (paid for by Europe to arm Ukraine) are now inconstant because of the war in Iran, and Elbridge Colby is yet again blocking what little aid Congress authorized to be sent via the National Defense Authorization Act.
Ukraine is nightly pounding Russian energy infrastructure, cutting into the economic benefits of U.S. sanctions relief. Tuapse on a good day looks like a scene out of "Dante's Peak."
Meanwhile, Zelensky has cut decade-long defense cooperation deals with the major GCC countries and Turkey and restored diplomatic relations with Syria.
For the first time since 2022, Ukraine is now confident enough in its own domestic military capacity to export weapons abroad.
Finally, what Easter ceasefire? Ukraine recorded over 10,000 violations by Russia in a 32-hour period.
Trump is getting all this intelligence directly from CIA Director John Ratcliffe (and the CIA continues to aid Ukraine in striking Russian targets deep inside Russian territory), but clearly he prefers to be glazed and lied to by Putin, who helps Iran kill U.S. troops in the Middle East and boasts of inevitable military victory when his army can't even convene a proper Victory Day parade on Red Square for fear of Ukrainian drone attacks.
There is a reason support for Ukraine grows among MAGA-aligned Republicans. They understand the president is full of shit; and they know a real a winner when they see one.

They are not just names — lives taken, stories ended.
They will not be forgotten; no IOC bans will make us forget or forgive russia for all the evil they brought to our land.

@BradyH_216 It is as if you do not understand what Cleveland wants in the slightest — Mike McDaniel does not represent what Cleveland wants, in fact he is the complete opposite.
Dear Ukraine,
I apologize. I’m sorry my country elected someone who works for Putin. Someone who’s on Putin’s side. As long as he is President, America won’t stand with you. Just know tho, that most Americans DO stand with you.
Best,
A Ukraine-Supporting American Citizen

The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybody. This is the very same city where the US, the UK, and Russia came together 31 years ago to give Ukraine ironclad assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected and protected within existing borders in exchange for giving up a third of the world’s nuclear weapons (to Russia!). Ukraine trusted the US, trusted the UK, transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Within 20 years, Putin effectively ripped up the Budapest Memorandum, ignored Russia’s pledge, and invaded and annexed Crimea. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine finally removed all remaining doubts about Putin’s imperial greed.
If treaties and agreements between countries are to be trusted, the US and the UK must stand by the original Budapest Memorandum and give the Ukrainians everything they need to push Russia out of Ukraine, as President Trump said he would do before taking Putin’s latest call. It is the only way for Ukraine to get its territory back and put an end to this brutal invasion.
If the US and Russia continue to ignore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, how on Earth can Ukraine be expected to have any faith in yet another Budapest memorandum signed in the same city between Russia and the United States? They can’t.

We pay an exorbitant amount to @Hudl for a mandated National Video exchange. We work hard to get our video uploaded as required—this AM at 7:00 and here we are 12 hours later without the breakdown.— it has been the same for all three of our initial games with inexcusable delays. This greatly inhibits our scouting with a two day turnaround and puts us at a competitive disadvantage. What exactly are we paying for? Anyone else experiencing a disaster with Hudl? #HudlFail #DoYourJob

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue." -
As President Trump and Putin prepare to meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine, American reporter and blogger Joey Contino has called on Alaskans to greet Putin by turning the state into "a representation of what he has been attacking every single day." He urged everyone to join a peaceful demonstration and transform Alaska into a sea of blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flags.
"Let him know that what he's doing is horrible and that the rest of the world - even on the far ends of the United States - you guys support Ukraine," @JoeyContino said.
@BradyH_216 He should have held the ball. But, in the case he doesn’t, like here, Santana should have done everything to ensure the ball doesn’t get by him keeping at least the second run from scoring.
Earlier this month, Hockey Nova Scotia held their annual Male U16 High Performance Camp to determine their newly released provincial U16 roster for the QMJHL Cup.
Thanks to our friends over at The Prospect Exchange we are able to show you some stats from the above mentioned U16 camp!
Check out the post & stay tuned for more! 🏒🚨
@CleGuardPro But they are pulling up players/prospects, like Rodriguez, who have been out performed at AAA by DeLauter, Keyfus, etc. Any prospect can come up at struggle like Rodriguez, why not give them a chance?
Congratulations to all the players from our partner organizations who were selected in this year’s QMJHL Draft! We’re proud to have played a small part in your development and look forward to watching your continued success.
