Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children.
Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain.
Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting – an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children.
Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.
I told CNN that people outside Ukraine don't understand how intense Russian attacks are. Ukrainians die and these deaths could have been prevented with better Western supplies of Patriots.
This is painful. It's unjust. But we're resolved. We accept it. What choice do we have.

"What I saw in Ukraine was horrifying. Russia launched missiles and drones at men, women and children sleeping in their homes, tried to take down the energy grid for millions of Ukrainians, and committed war crimes and atrocities at a level we haven't seen since WW2.
I resigned because the policy was to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia.
Respect to this woman 🫡
Ukrainian drone forces continue to decimate Russia‘s maritime forces, this time near Yurkine in Russian-occupied Crimea in Ukraine. One „Svetlyak-class“ patrol boat (Project 10410) even while moving was precisely hit.
Furthermore, drones hit the following targets:
- Pantsir-S1 air defense system
- RSBN-4N short-range radio navigation system
- train locomotive
- transformer stations
- Fuel storages
@your_ayu_@nexta_tv If it saves them and potentially us it is money perfectly spent! Because Ukraine is sharing their technology with US and other countries.
Russian state propaganda calculated that Ukraine spent about $3.5 billion on drones over three years
That was enough to paralyze parts of the front, hit almost all oil refineries in the European part of Russia, and inflict incalculable losses on Russia.
For comparison, a single large-scale Russian missile strike can cost around $1 billion. There have been many such attacks in recent years, but their effectiveness is extremely low.
These strikes are mainly used to terrorize Ukrainian civilians, as the primary targets are civilian infrastructure.
@RainerHuth61 I checked with open AI.
No, this claim is entirely false. Independent fact-checkers and maritime experts have debunked this narrative, identifying it as part of a recurring disinformation campaign.

@LisaAirey888@nexta_tv@POTUS It says $8 billion in military LOANS.
But Trump recently authorized a $20 billion financial lifeline for Argentina which didn't go through Congress and is not sure if it will be EVER repaid. You didn't object to it?
@JayinKyiv This potential peace deal looks like the "negotiations" on May 9 victory parade. lol
Putin begs Trump to force Ukraine to agree on peace provided Crimea is still Russian.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukraine ends up forcing Russia to the negotiating table while on the brink of liberating Crimea.
And when that happens, watch the narrative suddenly change. The same people demanding concessions from Kyiv today will claim Ukraine is “holding up peace” by refusing to stop before securing its position.
Mark my words: if Crimea genuinely comes under threat, the pressure for a ceasefire won’t be about peace. It’ll be about preventing a Russian defeat.
