Trump isn’t asking Putin to stop killing Ukrainian children. He’s telling Zelenskyy to stop striking the oil infrastructure that funds Russia’s war and is putting real pressure on Moscow. Literally a sock puppet of the Kremlin

NO TIME TO HIDE | Russian Jet Drones Fly Over Homes in Dnipro, Ukraine

Russia use civilians as collateral. The upsurge in terrorist style attacks including shopping malls, passenger trains and ordinary homes, including mine, are part of Russia’s strategy. Jet drones skim the rooftops youtube.com/shorts/BLFac...

This is Russia. They only hit military targets, apparently, and are denazifying and saving the Russian speakers. I call it murder, frankly.

‼️ Putin appears to be preparing a pretext for mass mobilisation. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says intelligence shared with Poland suggests Russia is planning “something big” this year to justify it, as he loses thousands of men each day.

Russia destroys a US-owned defence factory in Ukraine 🇺🇦 Nothing… US prosecutors allege a Russian intelligence plot to murder a dissident in Washington. Russia reportedly also supplies Iran with intelligence on US military assets. Nothing.. Putin gets an invitation to the G20 by Trump… WTF 🤷‍♂️

Ukraine, backed by an all-star cast, is calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward negotiations with Russia. Lavrov has since rejected any notion of a ceasefire…….again.

Which do you think will be the reasoning behind this? 1. NATO EXPANSION 2. THE NAZIS 3. THE BIO LABS 4. THE COUP 5. HISTORIC RIGHTS 6. THE ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT 7. COOKIES 8. RUSSIA FELT THREATENED 9. SAVING THE RUSSIAN SPEAKERS 10. WE ONLY HIT MILITARY TARGETS

Narrowly missing the attacks near Kyiv Central Station throughout the day, I’ve managed only a six-hour delay. Remarkable, really, considering Russian terrorism seemingly knows no bounds, clearly lifting any veiled pretence that it only hits military targets.

Dnipro came under attack while I was at the station. Travelling by train feels considerably riskier now since Russia stepped up its terror-style attacks on stations and passenger trains.

Russia tortures Ukrainians 🇺🇦 Anyone demanding that Ukraine surrender even more land to appease Putin is demanding that more Ukrainians be abandoned to Russian occupation, torture and death.

VOICES UNFILTERED 🇺🇦 Saturday, Russian drones screamed over my home in Dnipro before a shopping centre burned. Sunday, Moscow woke to drones, burning infrastructure and disrupted airports. The war is changing and this weekend showed us how. shaunpinner.substack.com/p/saturday-i...

Remarkably, only five people were injured when Russia struck the New Continent shopping mall in Dnipro yesterday. 🤷‍♂️ That feels more like luck than anything else. Across Ukraine, attacks on places where civilians live, shop and travel are escalating. 🇺🇦

Yesterday I watched Russian drones strike Dnipro, including a shopping mall. This morning, images appear to show a huge fire at Moscow’s Kapotnya oil refinery after a reported Ukrainian drone attack. Strikes also on TETS-22 and in Voronezh, Ryazan and Dagestan.

More jet-powered drones have just hit Dnipro. I can see a plume of black smoke rising over the city and a fire burning. Russia is attacking us again in broad daylight.

Putin has put Nestlé and Auchan’s Russian operations under “temporary administration.” Western firms still in Russia should have seen this coming. IT’S TIME TO USE FROZEN ASSETS to rebuild what Russia destroyed and thieved, like our home.

Trump has signed Lindsey Graham’s sanctions bill, H.R. 5334, into law. Will Washington now use it to squeeze the Russian banks, oil revenue and shadow fleet? Or will Trump find every excuse under the sun to faff around, stall and deflect from Putin’s obvious lack of interest in ending it?

The Russian elections look completely above board, perfectly normal and not remotely dodgy at all. Nothing to see here, comrades.

Russia has suffered an estimated 3,490 casualties in just two days Under any normal military standard, that would be classed as catastrophe. This isn’t sustainable warfare.

Ovechkin says he’s for “peace and love.” Russia stole my home, killed my friends, electrocuted and starved me, murdered children in our neighbourhood, tortured us in Nazi-style filtration camps and sentenced me to death. Take your hollow bullshit and go fuck yourself.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing inside Luhansk Oblast. Even Russian military maps now acknowledge Ukrainian-controlled territory there. Russia does not fully control a single one of the four Ukrainian oblasts Putin illegally claims as Russian territory. Read my full report today below👇

The Kremlin has branded the “hellish sanctions” bill an unfriendly move that will complicate peace talks - Peskov Committing genocide in a neighbouring country while threatening to push farther west could also reasonably be described as an “unfriendly move,” Peskov. Dipshit.

Huge losses yesterday for the Zsar’s lightning three-day imperialist conquest of Ukraine. The big recruitment bonuses are disappearing, another 300,000 Russians could be mobilised, that isn’t because things are going well. September could deliver Russia’s worst losses yet. Happy birthday to me 🍾

Oleshky is facing a humanitarian disaster. I spent a great deal of time there, and its people are now trapped under Russian occupation with almost no safe way out. Ukraine and the ICRC are ready to evacuate civilians. Russia refuses to provide the necessary security guarantees. - Dmytro Lubinets
