Russians are trying to turn the Ukrainian town of Oleshky into a death trap.
Around 1,700 people are still trapped in the destroyed town. The only road out is mined and watched by attack drones. Those who try to flee risk being killed. The nearby river is mined, too. Residents doubt they can survive this winter.
The hospital has run out of medicine. Dozens of bodies lie in the streets or in homes, as Russians forbid residents from burying them.
Families are starving, surviving on leftover garden vegetables, preserves and even snails. Residents say Russian soldiers have threatened them at gunpoint to seize their food.
Ukraine has repeatedly called for safe evacuation and international humanitarian access. These appeals cannot remain unanswered.
We urge the UN, the ICRC, and all partners to use every available channel to secure safe evacuation corridors and immediate humanitarian access to Oleshky. Russia must stop obstructing efforts to save civilian lives.
I thank all our partners and people around the world who refuse to stay silent and have become the voice of Oleshky’s residents.
I want to personally thank Pope Leo XIV for his call on Putin for a ceasefire in Oleshky to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.
People cannot survive on statements of concern. They need action. They need a way out. And they need it now.

@theworst_of_us A nejen Vlčkovi. Při hospici Sv. Štepána v Litoměřicích právě vzniká dětské centrum Štěpánka. A člověk ten proces může sledovat v přímém přenosu. A světe div se, začali demolicí starého domu, aby nový byl vyhovující všemu…🤔
A smile worth a thousand words:
Sky News: Trump is facing pretty difficult midterm elections. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?
Zelenskyy [smiling]: “This is my answer.”
Couldn't imagine a better answer. 👏
Kdyby někoho zajímalo, proč Babiš bude klidně vládnout s moskevskými poskoky a pražským podsvětím, tak přesně proto🔽. Nezajímá ho vůbec nic jiného než ovládnutí aktiv a peněžních toků státu. Budoucnost a prosperita státu je mu ukradená. Je tam jenom kvůli stovkám miliard veřejných peněz, které chce na dekády legislativně usměrnit tak, aby vždycky skončily v jeho firmách. Jedeme z kopce 😉.
FT: Isn’t it better for you to make a unilateral declaration that you will not strike Russian refineries, even if Russia continues striking your energy infrastructure, in order to get Trump administration back on side?
Zelenskyy: “If such a moment comes and such a deal requires Ukraine not to respond after Russian attacks, the question is when the next deal will be?
And with all these deals, maybe the next one will be about gas — definitely it will be gas.
Who will get the money? And who will spend this money? And on what? Not to rebuild Ukraine, I think. Not to support us. It will go the opposite way.”
First it will be a diesel deal, then a gas deal, then another deal, and another, deal after deal after deal, until Trump and Putin are fully united in the sweet ecstasy of dealmaking.
And every single cent of that revenue will go directly toward killing Ukrainians. Americans must stop this madness!
Trolls keep telling me they owe us nothing. Fine, give yourselves the gift of not being child-murder funders.
@RpsAgainstTrump Russians must have party 24/7. American bitches are doing the job for them and what’s more, they are even paying for that and proudly writing about that. Yay, let’s celebrate….Idiotic times. 🤮
@IAPonomarenko Disgusting. Trump and his gruppies don’t care about any contracts, as long as it brings more money and that feeling of absolute power. We need to start do the same. Sign whatever they want and then don’t care about it. 🤔🤮🤢
Well-known Ukrainian military aerial reconnaissance specialist Oleksandr "Serg Marco" Karpiuk writes on Facebook:
"...Starlink is a civilian communications system. And SpaceX is responsible for its civilian use. Standard Starlink terminals currently have a default speed limit of 22 m/s.
To enable flight at speeds above 22 m/s, Ukraine signed contracts for Starshield, which is overseen by the Pentagon. This is already a military system, with Starlink terminals that offer greater functionality, although the accounts are considerably more expensive.
And it was the Pentagon that did two things in a single day: restricted intelligence sharing and changed the parameters of Starshield accounts.
This was a decision by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. Clearly on Trump's orders...."
Maybe this is the key to understanding what exactly happened.
162 (!!!) votes for Ukraine 🇺🇦 at the United Nations 🇺🇳
Today, we celebrate a major diplomatic victory for Ukraine in New York! ✌️
Ukraine has secured 162 votes in the UN General Assembly & been elected to the UN Human Rights Council!
Thank you, dear UN friends, for your trust 🙏
Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person."
Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do."
October 19, 2016. She was right.
Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump. It paid off.
Since his election, Musk got $696 billion richer & became the world’s 1st trillionaire.
But that’s not enough.
Now, Musk is spending $366 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
STOP MUSK. STOP OLIGARCHY.
❗️ Státní firma Čepro zaplatila Agrofertu od roku 2017 bez veřejné soutěže už více než 19 miliard korun.
❗️Jakmile vstoupil v platnost zákon zakazující firmám politiků veřejné zakázky, začalo totiž Čepro tvrdit, že veřejné tendry vůbec pořádat nemusí.
❗️Čepro to dodnes podkládá dobrozdáním od místopředsedkyně antimonopolního úřadu. Té, která musela ÚOHS opustit kvůli podezřeních z manipulací rozhodování pro činovníky hnutí ANO - Jaroslava Faltýnka a Jiřího Švachulu. Ještě předtím ale stanovisko stihla podepsat.
❗️Úřednice si vypomohla listinami ministerstev pod vedením Aleny Schillerové a Karla Havlíčka, které bagatelizovaly, jak unikátní Čepro pro stát je, ač to mají zapsané ve státních koncepcích.
❗️Vláda Petra Fialy to neřešila.
❗️Ministerstva, která má nyní pod kontrolou opět Havlíček a Schillerová, to dle svého vyjádření otevírat nebudou.
❗️Čepro nám odmítlo poskytnout i informace, kolik už za nové vlády Andreje Babiše poslalo Agrofertu zakázek. A to ač na podnět analytického týmu Pirátů úřad rozhodl, že na něj dopadá informační zákon.
❗️Důvod k revizi podle svého vyjádření nemá ani antimonopolní úřad, který vede Andejem Babišem dosazený Petr Mlsna. Premiér nyní rozhoduje, zda Mlsnovi bude vláda chtít prodloužit mandát o další roky. https://t.co/O1ekCFdPwn
Zelenskyy just turned the tables on Trump and Putin! 🇺🇦
“If Putin agrees to a 60-day total ceasefire, Ukraine will organize elections.”
Trump wants Ukraine to hold elections? Fine. Zelenskyy just put the ball in Putin’s court. Stop attacking Ukraine for 60 days and let Ukrainians vote. If Putin refuses, who’s standing in the way of elections now? And if he agrees, Ukraine gets a ceasefire.
This is a genius move by Zelenskyy!
IMPORTANT ‼️
RUSSIA IS BOMBING KHARKIV'S TERMINAL POWER PLANT 5 RIGHT NOW ‼️
There was several missile strikes already during the last 15 minutes. Trump’s ceasefire didn't work.
