@JayinKyiv Every day I awake hopeful that Ukraine 🇺🇦 is closer to victory.

Overnight, Russians brought their culture of filth and savagery to Kyiv, targeting apartment buildings, restaurants and the entrances to metro stations where people were sheltering.

This attack costed the Russians around $400 million.

Fedorov: Zelenskyy said he wouldn’t replace Syrskyi, I accepted that. I would have learned to work with him because we answer to the Ukrainian people.

But our initiatives were blocked. Syrskyi avoided discussing problems, and chose intrigue and media blame. He issued an ultimatum. He found a way to divide the country instead of defeating Russia. 1/

Ukraine’s SBU destroyed a Tu-95 strategic bomber at Russia’s Engels air base after an 800-km drone strike.

Zelensky said the aircraft had been used in missile attacks on Ukraine and called the operation another successful “long-range sanction.”

Her emotions are priceless. Ukrainian kids are amazingly talented.
Congratulations, Polina!

Russian aviation doing only slightly better than the Russian economy.

🇷🇺 Finally! 🔽

“I believe the president should resign.”

Russian journalist Dmitry Borisenko is calling for Putin and the State Duma to resign, saying that, in his view, it is the only way to prevent civil war and the collapse of Russia.

Another difficult night for the smoldering ruins of the Russian oil industry, as Ukraine targets the 10th largest refinery in the country, at a 1400km distance.

Processing 200,000 barrels/day, Gazprom's Neftekhim Salavat refinery is located in Bashkortostan.

There have been 3 previous strikes on this facility, with today's being the most successful.

Footage from the scene of a suspected Russian air defense missile crash in the Moscow region.

I mean, Russian air defense is totally the best in the world, hard to argue.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The Coalition of the Willing. I thank every leader who stands with Ukraine and our people today. Everyone who understands that Russian aggression can be stopped only through collective pressure. And everyone who is ready to affirm this unity not only in words, but also through real decisions and assistance. There is no alternative to peace. And peace must prevail – thanks to our joint support and actions.

We’re sanctioning Russia at speed and scale.

Today’s measures, together with the upcoming 21st sanctions package, will add 250 individuals and entities to the Russia sanctions regime.

This is our biggest round of individual designations since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion, and includes also the EU’s largest-ever cyber sanctions package.

The financial backbone of Russia’s war machine is the main target. Every measure weakens Moscow’s ability to wage war.

Drones attacked the Moscow region, the Mikhailovskaya oil depot, and temporarily occupied Crimea last night.

The Mikhailovskaya oil depot in the Stavropol region was hit for the second time in a week.

In addition, air defense activity was reported in the Moscow region; 13 Russian tanker trucks and a railway bridge were hit during the incident.

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck a fuel depot in Azov, Rostov region.

🇭🇺 PM Magyar: Let me make it very clear concerning the war in Ukraine, on behalf of Hungarian government, that Ukraine is the victim, Russia is the brutal aggressor and Ukraine has the right to defend its territorial integrity. We maintain our humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the TANECO Nizhnekamsk Oil Refinery in occupied Tatarstan.
Annual capacity 17 million tons.
340,000 barrels per day.

How the tables have turned..

Ukraine now freely taking out bridges in Russia itself.

In the Belgorod region, a bridge was destroyed in a district near a military base.
