Andriy Kozyr fell in action defending Ukraine. In 2022, he returned from Poland to defend our homeland. His wife Alina, daughter Yelyzaveta, son Denys, and daughter-in-law Nina, along with family and fellow villagers, were all murdered by the Iskander missile in that nightmarish attack.

I still can't think of the russian horrific war crime in the Hroza village without tears. 3yrs ago today. The monsters shelled a memorial lunch for the Ukrainian serviceman, killing one third of the village, incl children, in one attack. Never again? And again. And again.

I was very late to the driving party. But the war finally forced me to learn. I learned to drive last winter, through heavy blackouts and cold, icy weather. Now I get to practice racing jet-powered Shahed drones on my way home. Does each year of driving experience in Ukraine count as five?

In these difficult days, Friedrich Merz is in Kyiv today. Thank you, Germany, for increasingly stepping up as a leader of the free world. For standing with Ukraine, for understanding what is at stake, and for helping us defend not only our freedom but our joint future. 🇺🇦🇩🇪

CORRECTION: only the Ukrainians who survive the first waves of already planned and prepared Russian purges / famines will be forced to fight Moscow's imperial wars against other free nations. The first wave has already occured in RU-occupied areas in 2014-2022; 1000s were executed or disappeared.

Don't get us wrong. Ukrainians are not being offered peace. We will either fight to remain free on our own land — or, if conquered by Moscow, be forced to fight its imperial wars against other free nations. That is the choice russia is generously offering. Not war or peace.

The moment a drone or missile whistles nearby, 🇺🇦 women instantly become a shield for their children—covering them with their bodies, holding them tightly, covering their eyes and ears, comforting them. Every Ukrainian mother, sister, & grandmother is always ready to become a shelter. Thread 1/5🧵

This is Olha. She is a director of the animal shelter in Odesa. The russians sent a missile at her shelter, destroying it fully, burning alive ten cats and three dogs. Olha managed to rescue five animals, pulling them from the fire. The others got terrified and hid, unfortunately. 💔 Photo: Suspilne

Right now, enemy drones equipped with cameras are flying over a European capital, hunting for people to kill and things to destroy. Folks, do you seriously think this evil genie can ever be put back in the bottle? New levels of warfare and terrorism are coming.

For the past 3d, russian drones have been bombing Kyiv nonstop. russia is particularly targeting education infrastructure. This horrifying photo shows people escaping a massive fire through a window in the National Academy of Science of Ukraine. russians also bombed 2 schools and 2 kindergartens.

There are ~2000 Ukrainians trapped inside the occupied city of Oleshky, Kherson region. They are deprived of food, in what is painfully reminding Ukrainians of another man-made famine, almost a century ago: the Holodomor. 📽️Full video here🔗 emmanuellechaze.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

350,000 russian drones have been destroyed by Ukrainian defenders since the start of 2026. 350k drones. That includes fixed-wing UAVs, copter-type drones, and Shaheds. Which army in the world is prepared and capable of countering a threat on this scale? The Axis of Evil knows that. 📷: MoD

In fact, such a flashmob shows complete misunderstanding of what russia is, and only encourages it to attack other democratic states. P.S. Decades ago there was a movement of scrapping the entire defence infrastructure with an argument that doing so will improve safety. And we all know how it ended.

Joe, I really hope that you are right. But someone does vote for the pro-russian parties in Europe. Opinion polls showed that many people in Bulgaria or Slovakia openly cheer for the russian victory. I am afraid that we underestimate the number of real people who love modern nazism.

Oh, hatred does help against the enemy. It's a vaccine from letting the next generations fall for the joint cultural space and content consumption. Take a look how Finns hate russia and how constructive their hatred is. We in Ukraine never really hated russia despite centuries of oppression.

Viktor Yerko was 65. He came to an underground passage in Kyiv last night to shelter from russia's attack. A few minutes after the explosions started, he lost consciousness and began struggling to breathe. By the time the ambulance arrived, he was dead. F*king russian war killed this man 💔

A russian missile landed right in front of a Kyiv maternity hospital, killing a person in the parking yard. Maybe it was someone's husband rushing there for the birth of his baby. I don't know. One thing I do know is that every single day, we still don't hate russia enough.

Countries like russia will always successfully weaponize hostage diplomacy. The more concessions russia gets for releasing foreigners-hostages, the more foreign nationals it will take hostage.

Last night, russians k*lled two 3yo children — a boy and a girl — and their mom in their home in Kyiv region. russia's ongoing escalation against Europe is a direct consequence of the fact that Ukrainians had to spend last 12yrs finding new fresh arguments to explain our children's right to live.

Mendel is actively taking part in a psyop to coerce Ukraine into capitulation. This is such a shame. Giving away sovereign Ukrainian land, abandoning our people to genocide under russian occupation, and sacrificing justice have nothing to do with peace. 📷: Olha Kyrylova

Ukraine's only real way out is for Europe to wake up to what russia is and pull together to help defeat its aggression — before European countries themselves are openly attacked by russia or captured politically by pro-russian forces. Will Europe do this? I doubt, unfortunately. And this is so sad.

Those who say Ukraine doesn't want peace are perverse. How could anyone want bombs to keep raining down on their children's heads? The truth is that Ukraine has no good options on its own. The choice is btw surrendering & becoming cannon fodder in russia's wars, or fighting & enduring this hell.
