Today is Constitution Day in Ukraine.
A constitution isn’t just a document. It lives because there are people willing to defend it. Nothing captures that better than a Ukrainian defender finally coming home to hug their child.
That’s what they’re fighting for. That’s what freedom looks like.
Every time Ukrainian Defenders return from Russian captivity, they cross the border singing Ukraine's national anthem with tears in their eyes.
Welcome home, Warriors! 🇺🇦

So why are Russians screaming and shrieking in every video now that Ukrainian cruise missiles and massive swarms of drones are finally flying back toward their cities?
Weren't they the ones who spent decades happily consuming kilotons of the Kremlin's warmongering propaganda in everything from the daily news to films, TV series, and even cartoons?
Weren't they the ones who enthusiastically echoed their permanent regime's slogans of "We can do it again!!!" and spent generations indulging in fantasies of a glorious war against the "decadent gay West," provided they could stay comfortably on their couches, consuming triumphant war reports and the sound of military marches on television?
Weren't they the ones dreaming of putting those "stupid khokhol swines" in their place, cheering with delight when Ukrainians were "punished" for their pro-Western democratic revolution through the criminal seizure of Crimea and the unleashing of the bloody war in Donbas?
Weren't they the ones who for years swallowed the revanchist pseudo-historical ravings of their KGB bio-robot in the Kremlin, shouting "On to Washington!!" and "On to Berlin!!" while dressing their own little children in military uniforms and putting them into toy tanks and cardboard missiles?
Weren't they the ones who erupted in euphoria at the launch of the "Kyiv in three days" operation, only to then flock by the hundreds of thousands and millions to kill Ukrainians as mercenaries for peanuts and to work for Russia's military-industrial complex, counting their blood-soaked profits?
Weren't they the ones who descended into complete moral savagery as a people and as a country, watching with their own eyes as horrific war crimes against Ukraine and Ukrainians were committed every single day, from torture and beheadings to the destruction of entire cities and nighttime missile strikes that brought apartment buildings down on top of the people inside?
Weren't they the ones who celebrated every mass killing of Ukrainians on social media, gleefully fantasizing about "leaving Europe without gas" and "freezing the khokhols in the dark this winter"?
Weren't they the very same people who loudly applauded and shouted "THANK YOU!!!" to the Wagner mercenaries in Rostov-on-Don three years ago?
Aren't they still happily consuming nonstop propaganda about the "Kyiv junta," "Ukrainian Nazis," and the "former so-called Ukraine," while listening to state propagandist Solovyov and Putin's officials calling for Odesa, Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Lviv to be wiped off the face of the earth with nuclear weapons because they refused to submit and fought back?
So what is it? Do Russians no longer enjoy the "sacred war" now that the time has come to answer for that entire orgy of hatred, chauvinism, revanchism, militarism, the cult of death, totalitarianism, and the cynical exploitation of the memory of World War II to justify new wars of conquest?
Now the Ukraine they despised so deeply and looked down upon as inherently inferior -- has survived this war, rallied the support of the free world, armed itself to the teeth, and is now systematically breaking the very backbone of their inhuman war machine.
❗️I get a lot of hate for enjoying videos of invaders meeting their end, and apparently adding music makes it even more "tasteless".
But honestly, our pilots are legendary… and now our video editors are too 😍
Keep smashing the orcs, boys 🔥🔥🔥
Ukrainian drones struck the Moscow Oil Refinery for the second time in a week, sending flames and thick smoke over the Russian capital. President Zelenskiy called it a 'fair' response to Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities https://t.co/jY3FVie2vo
❗️Moscow is OUT OF FUEL.
People cannot fill up their cars, and the entire city is grinding to a halt, all Moscow refineries were hit, the #russianfuelcrisis is coming home, so please DO NOT USE the hashtag #russianfuelcrisis as it will cause panic and make the situation worse!!!

2 years ago today, the russians nearly killed me, I was 500 meters from the russian position in Kupyansk, we were pinned down by FPV drones, artillery coming in every minute or so, but we made it out.
Since that day in the trenches I vowed more than ever I'd help the front, I can proudly say I haven't taken a waking hour off from supporting Ukraine for the 731 days since they tried to kill me, since that day I have become russia's worst nightmare, we have delivered 6000 FPV drones without cost to the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed well in excess of half a BILLION dollars in russian equipment and we won't stop there, we will keep going until Ukraine is free, whether it's 4 more years or 40, I'm not fucking leaving and I'm definitely never giving up the fight.
Ukraine is my home, Ukrainians are my family.
