Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries.
We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!
❗️Last night, the operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted.
Connectivity began to drop when moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. As a result, a number of critical missions were disrupted.
SpaceX likely took these measures at the request of the Trump administration. Also last night, when Kyiv was attacked by ballistic missiles, Ukraine did not receive intelligence regarding their launch— a failure that could have led to higher casualties.
Ukraine did not attack Russian oil refineries, yet Trump has already begun imposing sanctions on my country. Meanwhile, sanctions against Russia have been eased.
Umar Kremlev, a Putin-decorated Russian oligarch and Kremlin asset under Ukrainian sanctions, paid hundreds of thousands towards Donald Trump Jr.'s Bahamas wedding.
A spokesperson for Trump Jr: "Umar is a personal friend of Don" https://t.co/XyX5W0SRfr
An absolutely insane Russian missile strike directly hit a lyceum in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Odesa region. According to preliminary reports, it was a ballistic missile. There were no children at the lyceum — it is currently summer break — but staff members were present. Sadly, some people may still be trapped under the rubble. It is already known that two people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
The lyceum has been almost completely destroyed. A rescue operation is ongoing, with all necessary emergency services involved. None of these Russian strikes are accidental — the Russian army knows exactly where it is targeting. These are demonstration strikes. Russia’s leadership has no intention of changing, no intention of ending the war voluntarily.
That is why a real and painful increase in pressure and sanctions against Russia is necessary. Right now, we are defending ourselves against Russian attacks. But if Russia is not forced into peace, other countries in Europe will have to think about protecting their lyceums, hospitals, and ordinary apartment buildings — wherever these Russian murderers might strike. The killings and strikes must be stopped. Russia must face real pressure.
14 people killed, including 6 children: Russia launched a ballistic strike on a residential area of Kryvyi Rih near a children's playground.
Those who talk about peace are showing their true intentions to the world. Russia wants nothing but war.
I want to sincerely thank our Baltic neighbors, partners, and friends – Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia – for standing with us, and not just since the first days of the full-scale invasion, but long before that.
Your unwavering support, your care, and your commitment to Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty are deeply felt and profoundly appreciated. You help us in ways beyond what anyone could expect, and we see it. You care for us, and we feel it. Every day you show solidarity with Ukraine, and we are immensely grateful for all you have done and continue to do for Ukrainians and our nation.
Together, we stand stronger. Thank you.
The family of the 14-year-old girl who died in a Russian airstrike in Kharkiv had just begun to recover from another loss — the girl's father had previously gone missing in the Donetsk area, her relative Olga told Ukrainian media 'Suspilne.'
In the video, the girl's mother is sitting on a bench, in complete shock and tears, after the loss of her only child. At the time of the attack, the schoolgirl was sitting on a bench near a children playground.
In the picture is a photo of the deceased girl with her head torn apart by the explosion of a russian bomb. On the right are mocking comments from cheering russians.
russians — are not human in any form or way. They are nothing more than sick, twisted animals, bringing pain and suffering and collectively supporting Z-war — a war against the civilized world.
⚡️"Don't tell me that you can't afford to mobilize your industry and will so that Ukraine wins."
Retired British general Sir Richard Barrons addressed European officials and opinion leaders at a forum in Lucerne, Switzerland.
“You imagine an economy of 15 trillion euros a year. Give me 75 billion euros a year for 2-3 years, and I will make sure that the Ukrainian army wins. It’s not about whether it’s affordable. It’s about choice, about competence ", - he said.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

Hey @MrBeast, saw your "Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000" video.
There’s a fragment on a map showing Crimea being a part of russia. Just in case you or your production crew didn’t know — Crimea is a part of Ukraine, which was illegally and forcefully occupied by russians and their military in 2014.
Moreover, you’ve invited a russian onto your show to represent russia, whereas global sports officials at least make them take part under a neutral flag.
The country that shells Ukrainian cities and kills Ukrainians should not be represented and invited in any show or sports while they are murdering people in another country. If that’s not enough — literally today russia has hit the center of the Ukrainian city Chernihiv with a ballistic missile, killing 7, including a child, and injuring 129 people.
Ukrainians are in full-scale war with russia and have been fighting with the aggressor for their rights, freedom and lives.
Ukrainians remember your help with donations and humanitarian aid. Please, consider removing that map from your video or doing anything about it to show that you do not support terrorism and war.
Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.
All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only.
Russia blew up Kakhovska HPP that is on the Dnipro River. This is an act of terrorism and a global threat, the consequences of these actions could be colossal and unpredictable.
Tonight in Uman', in the heart of Ukraine, Russians shelled another residential building while people were sleeping. Nine were killed, including a preschooler, and 15 were wounded.
The same night, in another city, Dnipro, a young woman and a 3-year-old child were killed in another Russian strike.
If all this murdering and terrorism is not enough to drive Russia out of everywhere and stop doing business with it, I swear, I don't know what else has to happen to Ukraine and its people for the rest of the world to take action.
