From the #DDay anniversary in 2022. Four years later, every word still true. Putin is the Hitler of our time, and we are still doing too little to stop him.
Today, June 6, is Ukraine’s Journalist Day.
They carried cameras instead of weapons. They told the world the truth — and were killed for it.
Nearly 30 journalists and media workers have been killed since the full-scale invasion.
We will remember every one of them.
🧵1/14⬇️
SEN. BLUMENTHAL: My trip to Ukraine showed me how desperate Putin is becoming. He is losing troops at unsustainable rate, about 30,000 a month.
He's losing territory at this point. His net losses have to be deeply troubling to him. And so out of desperation, he has launched this ferocious, bloody attack on Ukraine, literally on civilians.
When we were in Ukraine, we went into bomb shelters probably three or four times a day, sometimes at 3:40 a.m. or in the midst of forums and conferences.
Putin is targeting homes, apartments, hospitals, and schools out of desperation. But he is also having to contend with tremendous technology that Ukrainians have developed.
They're helping us, they're teaching us, but they're also using it to hit St. Petersburg oil depots deep within Russia. Tremendously impressive when you think about what it shows about Russia’s vulnerability.
And that kind of technological prowess and advances they’re showing has to be deeply troubling to Putin as well.
Macron: All those who told us six months ago that Ukraine was going to collapse, wouldn't make it through winter, that we had to hurry up and accept unacceptable — Ukrainians, with strength and courage, have once again proven them wrong. Now it's up to us to build lasting peace.
The true cost of the deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children is measured not only in numbers, but in the lives of the families left behind.
For more than four years, mothers have lived with uncertainty, searching for answers about children taken without their consent and often without information about their whereabouts.
In this video, one mother asks a simple question: Why my daughter?
Her daughter, a young girl with severe disabilities, remains separated from her family.
For years, together with my team at @emile_fondation have worked to trace, locate, and support families affected by these abductions. We have carried out rescue missions from frontline areas, provided accommodation, financial and psychological support, and helped families navigate complex procedures to seek the return of their children.
This is more than a humanitarian issue. It is a matter of human rights, family unity, and the protection of vulnerable civilians during armed conflict.
🎥 Listen to this mother. Her story helps us understand the true scale of this ongoing tragedy.
How can you help?
🔗 Share her story. Support our mission. Amplify the voices of these families.
Every family deserves answers. Every child deserves protection. Every separation must end with reunification.
Солістка Within Temptation підняла український прапор на фестивалі Rock am Ring

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Rep. McCaul was one of 18 Republicans who voted for Ukraine Support Act in the House, defying GOP leadership. "This is the time to standup", he tells me. "And I wish my own party could put the bill on the floor"
Applebaum: Democracies usually do not fall now through coups or military takeovers.
They fall when legitimately elected leaders who do not respect institutions take them apart. Would Trump do that if he could? Yes, I think he would. 4/
Yesterday, Mark Fedorov passed away — a Ukrainian serviceman who became a symbol of an incredible fight for life after suffering a devastating combat injury and undergoing more than 80 surgeries.
His life story was not an easy one.
Mark had previously spent time in prison. But when Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, he volunteered to defend Ukraine.
Despite numerous difficulties and bureaucratic obstacles, he never abandoned that decision.
Eventually, Mark joined the 501st Marine Battalion.
There, he not only mastered military skills but also trained as a combat medic, learning how to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.
He fought in the Kharkiv region, took part in combat operations, and served on some of the most difficult sections of the front.
During fighting in the Kursk direction, Mark suffered an extremely severe wound.
His internal organs were critically damaged, and he faced serious complications.
Doctors gave little reason for hope.
But he refused to give up.
While the medical team fought for his life, Mark fought alongside them.
One surgery.
Then another.
And another.
In total, he underwent more than 80 operations.
Months of hospitals, rehabilitation, and pain that is difficult even to imagine.
Yet Mark endured.
After dozens of surgeries and an exhausting recovery, he returned to life and began making plans for the future.
Following treatment, Mark wanted to engage in public service, help veterans, and show through his own example that a person can change their life no matter how difficult their past may have been.
Even after his severe injury and countless surgeries, he continued to face new challenges. His father publicly fought to protect his son's rights during treatment and rehabilitation. Through it all, Mark never lost faith and continued planning for the future.
He often spoke about faith, prayer, and hope.
About how even in the darkest moments, a person must not lose their humanity or their sense of purpose.
Yesterday, his heart stopped beating.
The story of Mark Fedorov is not only a story of war.
It is a story of a second chance.
The story of a man who had a difficult past but consciously chose to defend Ukraine during the country's darkest hour.
A reminder that a person's past does not always define them.
Sometimes, it is their actions that do.
Mark Fedorov gave his life for the freedom of Ukraine.
Eternal memory.
Deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. 🇺🇦🕯️
Please follow this account and spread this reality. People need to see this. Look at that baby. The most existential fight against evil in our lifetimes. Whatever it takes. Whatever.
@K_Seth1@KamVTV Proof of villas???? Stop spreading misinformation if there is no proof. Show me the villas, show me the biolabs, and show me proof. Words mean nothing if you can’t back it up. He said, she said is a child’s game. Grow up, do your homework and proof . Otherwise shut up!!!
@CaolanReports@mykpy Unacceptable! Ukrainians are dying daily! This makes Ireland an accessory to Russia’s murderous crimes in Ukraine! It appears that money is valued higher than the lives of innocent Ukrainians.
Kyiv was hit with a huge missile and drone attack this morning.
Also this morning, another ship with 2,200 tonnes of alumina headed from Ireland to russia to build those weapons. This has to stop immediately.
Il faut se rendre compte que les Ukrainiens passent des nuits entières dans le métro. Avec leurs enfants.
Et parfois, quand ils sortent au matin, ils découvrent leur logement détruit.
On a l'impression d'être en 1942.
Ça n'a rien à voir avec la guerre.
C'est du terrorisme.
همه گفتن مادری که روی بچه بی جانش پتو انداخت تا گرمش بشه، اما هیچ کس نفهمید که اونی که بی جان بود من بودم مادرت
🕊🕊🕊🕊
نمیدونن اون شب شوم وسرد وتلخ که تو تیر خوردی ومن بالای سرت بودم اونی که مرد من بودم اونی که یخ کرد من بودم اونی که تموم شد من بودم.
چقدر بیصدا در آغوش هم مردیم وتمام شدیم وتورفتی زیر خاک ومن محکومم به نفس کشیدن وعجب حکم ناعادلانه ایه متاسفم
که من نفس میکشم وتو رفتی🖤🥀🕊🕊

Right now in Moscow there are American bloggers who went on an all expenses paid trip to go spread Russian Propaganda.
Meanwhile, I came to Kyiv on my own dime to show the world the truth about the war.
No one is paying me to be here, unlike Candace Owens who is a paid Russian shill.
