Ukrainian forces have made several confirmed gains on the Velyka Novosilka axis over the past weeks and months, pushing back Russian forward elements. Ukraine has liberated Zaporizhzhia and expanded positions east of it, while pressure on Dachne is growing from multiple directions. #Ukraine

Zelenskyy says Ukraine received no warning from partners before Russia’s overnight attack with 100+ drones and missiles, incl 5 ballistic strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kyiv. Ukraine had paused refinery strikes for 2 days after Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement, Russia continued attacks.

Russia declined the offer of the 60-day ceasefire. Liar Peskov claimed Russia does not want "a ceasefire; we want long-term peace." He added that Russia is ready to have a ceasefire for the one election day. NOTHING in Russia's actions or claims points to them wanting peace.

Trump continues to lie and blame Zelenskyy for global oil prices, for which Trump himself is 100% responsible. He also continues to demand unconstitutional elections in Ukraine amid the ongoing war and several massacres carried out by Russia across Ukraine over the past week.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.
The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.
