As tonight's russian missile attack was declared imminent, people were seeking shelter in Kyiv. There isn't enough space for everyone in shelters. Some underground stations were closed by midnight due to overcrowding. russian missile attacks are pure & pointless terror of civilians in #Ukraine. #war

If russia uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine, unknown drones will strike russian nuclear power plants. Allegedly.

Polish politicians are turning their relations with Ukraine into a top issue of internal politics. In Ukraine, relations with Poland are as important as with any other neighbour - but definitely not a top priority. Ukrainians treat Polish hysteria as something far outside of the 2026 context.

Two realisations in Ukraine: - we are defenceless against russian ballistics without supplies of Patriot missiles, of which 1,000 were squandered in Iran war - russia is on the verge of fiscal collapse - due to the Western sanctions, but mostly due to 🇺🇦 strikes undermining its oil revenue

Ukrainian drones flying without any resistance over large Russian cities such as in Perm are becoming the new normal. The absolute yet predictable failure of the Russian army after years of failures, culminating in Ukrainian drone dominance in Russian skies.

Snapshot of the Ukrainian media: - while russia found itself operating an army of drones, it has a 1 year window to attack the Baltic states - NATO is paralysed & unable to react in hybrid war - Ukraine is the only state capable to resist modern drone warfare

Varvara Volkova, russian stewardess, is sentenced by the putin's regime to 7 years in prison for speaking the truth. She wrote in the Sapronovo village chat that russians are killing civilians. Ruslan Grigoryev, russian military, reported her. He was killed in Ukraine in March 2025.

An important provision was omitted from the "Peace Deal": Ukraine will enshrine in its Constitution absolute, entire & complete prohibition to call the majestic russian overlord "khuilo", "huilo" or whatever other derogatory term. In case of violation, 50 hours of balalaika music will be imposed.

Dmitriev is often called putin's favourite protégé & a "son-in-law" that putin dreamt of but never got. A modern economist outside, a man with rotten commie nomenklatura thinking inside.

Trump's Peace Deal for Ukraine is so absurd that nobody would be surprised if it included secret provisions like: - annual Hunger Games in Donetsk - monthly delivery of 12 teenagers to kremlin - lenin monument in Washington

Trump is pushing us past the point of no return, towards a world war against Russia and China, his legacy will be shaped by his collaboration with those powers, and by his monumental acts of criminality, terrorism, and treason.

Apparently russia used its strongest leverage over the US Govt which is now threatening to cut any support to Ukraine. Several hundreds of missiles shot at refineries might destroy fragile putin's regime. russia is much closer to collapse than anyone can imagine. Ukraine is ready to take the risk.

The role of the US in the russia-Ukraine war isn't OK. It's terribly wrong. In the ongoing pressure on Ukraine the US Govt openly sided with the anti-democratic regime. The "Peace Plan" includes 28 points of human rights dissolution & rewarding of aggression.

Current American "peace" plan lacks just one thing - the date of full occupation of Ukraine. Witkoff promotes full surrender of democracy & total rewarding of aggression.

First, russia deliberately destroyed a big pharmaceutical warehouse in Kyiv. Then they destroyed another one in Dnipro. While russia is making medicines inaccessible in Ukraine, pharmaceutical companies continue to operate in russia "for humanitarian reasons". Do genocide mongers deserve this?

Before 2014, Ukraine operated 15 thermal power plants. Due to the 2014 russian occupation & subsequent hostilities, Ukraine was left with 8 thermal power stations. Following the 2022 full-scale russian invasion, as of November 2025, only 3 power plants remain partially operational incl in Sloviansk.

The allies could have supported Ukraine in dismantling the russian economy back in 2022. The fear paralysed them. They chose to condemn Ukrainians to use machine guns from the 1960s against cruise missiles. So many lives were lost due to the fear & vain attempts to avoid escalation!

Russia is now openly using the 9M729 missile, the very weapon that caused the INF Treaty to collapse. A nuclear-capable system, deployed against Ukraine. This is no longer escalation; it’s the dismantling of the last remnants of nuclear restraint.

It is highly underrated how many russians would approve of air strikes aimed at moscow. moscow is widely regarded as a parasite sucking out blood from country's regions. Ukraine's plan to grow social unrest in russia is based on a deep understanding of russian society that the Collective West lacks.

KATAPULT German magazine drew a stark map: the area of Ukraine under Russian occupation laid over other countries. Put it on France — it blankets almost all of Normandy and part of Île-de-France. On Poland — about half of Mazovia. On Germany — all of Brandenburg and Berlin. 👇
