About 6 weeks ago, I joined #NAFO force, and my life hasn't been the same 😊
The day has come to count my 💙💛blessings...
...35 so far ✊
So, I went ahead and donated 35,000 UAH (~950$) to @BackAndAlive 🇺🇦
they can block us all they want, but the end is the same #UkraineWins
I received a report from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. Particular focus was on the defense of Kostiantynivka, Slovyansk, and the Donetsk region as a whole. I am grateful to all units that are fully carrying out their combat missions, repelling Russian assaults, eliminating infiltration attempts, and systematically destroying the occupiers. We understand how to reinforce this sector. We discussed tasks related to long-range sanctions against Russia for its war. Good results have been achieved at the Yaroslavl oil refinery. We are continuing the relevant operations.
Mykhailo also reported on his work related to anti-ballistic capabilities – his communication with the American side. We are working at every level to secure packages of air defense missiles. All our partners know what is needed and how this affects not only the saving of lives and the protection of our cities, but also Russia’s attitude toward diplomacy. The more Putin believes in his bet on ballistic missiles, the more reticent he will be to respond positively to diplomatic proposals. Therefore, strengthening Ukraine’s defense is a direct investment in diplomacy.
The Commander-in-Chief and I also discussed personnel issues in the Armed Forces of Ukraine that need to be resolved. Glory to Ukraine!
I’m not an intel agency, but I’ve been sounding this alarm for quite a while now, including my recent article in the Telegraph. Putin needs war at all costs, and with no advances in Ukraine and feeble deterrence from Europe and US, it’s a natural step.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 I would like US President Donald Trump to be more like Reagan or Churchill in his attitude towards Russia, — Republican Congressman Bacon
"Although 70% of Americans support Ukraine, the White House's policy creates the impression that people there relate to the other 30%.
Giving Ukrainians the opportunity to produce Patriot missiles would help alleviate the shortage of interceptor missiles that we face today.
Instead, the White House is sending conflicting signals at a time when Ukraine is facing an escalation of the Russian missile campaign and an acute shortage of interceptors."
🇬🇪18 years ago today, Russian tanks rolled into Georgia. The war lasted five days. Its consequences are still unfolding, from Crimea to Bucha.
The West's lack of response in Aug 2008 taught Putin the century's most expensive lesson - aggression against neighbors is cost-free

Now that Syrskyi is no longer in command, how should Ukraine redeploy his dedicated assault forces?
Would transferring them under the Air Assault Forces' command structure make the most sense?
Or should they be transferred to the corps? Or kept as a separate branch?
First responders rescued and evacuated a 93yo woman. The russians bombed her home in Lviv, trapping her in the rubble of her apartment at the highest floor.
Don't look away, please. The russian terror continues every day.
Have to admire @amnesty for consistency. Its becoming normal that they won't mention our endless attacks on civilians.
They probably wonder how things like this get normalized.
12yrs ago russian terrorists murdered 16yo Stepan Chubenko in the Donetsk region. They tortured the boy for a week and then shot him dead w/ 5 bullets for wearing a 🇺🇦 ribbon.
Rest in glory, Stepan.
The world had turned a blind eye on russian genocidal war for way too long.
Kyiv’s goal is no longer simply to start fires at refineries or destroy storage tanks, but to keep plants offline for longer and make each strike more costly for Moscow. What’s behind the strategy? https://t.co/yJKOBCJSdY
Victoria Orekh was only 23.
russia murdered her yesterday.
She went to the supermarket in Chernihiv. She never came home.
Her mother, Nataliia, survived with severe injuries.
This is what russia brings.
Stop looking away. Every day, russia murders innocent civilians.

"End the war."
It sounds morally unassailable. Who could oppose peace?
Andrew Chakhoyan argues that this slogan is often used to obscure a more uncomfortable reality: Russia's war continues because Russia continues to wage it. Calls for diplomacy that ignore this fact risk rewarding aggression instead of ending it.

moscow plants false premises everywhere, and these enter public debate through either careless repetition or deliberate amplification. Russia's invasion becomes a "war in Ukraine."
🇺🇦's refusal to be massacred morphs into an obstacle to peace

Another day, another berry...
This time in Ryazan.
For anyone wondering whether a warehouse used to ship military equipment is a legitimate target, I recommend reading the Geneva Conventions.
