🤯 Russia offered to exchange their soldiers for Ukrainian children, - Zelensky. ❗️ "Russia is returning bodies in an extremely mutilated state, parts of bodies - in different bags.

OTD 1940 USSR invaded Latvia to prevent them "forming an anti-Soviet alliance" in an operation that had absolutely nothing to do with a secret clause in our first treaty with Nazis. Imagine us today invading smaller neighbours for completely made up reasons…

After 3 years in Russian captivity, Elena’s husband from Mariupol is finally home. He wasn’t a soldier—just a man who joined the city’s territorial defense to protect his home from Russian forces. For that, he was taken, tortured, and held without rights. Like thousands of other Ukrainians.

Russian surgeon carved "Glory to Russia" inscription on the body of Ukrainian prisoner of war. Now Ukrainian doctors are working to remove it. ⤵️ 📷@oleksandr_turkevych /Instagram

❗️🇷🇺Russian FPV drone operators are deliberately attacking 🇺🇦Ukrainian wind farms

One Russian paper today: “There are pluses for Moscow from the Iran-Israel conflict.” But another paper warns of “potential costs for Moscow. The fact remains Russia couldn’t prevent Israel striking a country with which Russia had signed a strategic partnership.” #ReadingRussia

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Ukrainian man was stabbed in Berlin park because of his nationality on 14 June — Berlin police. Two unknown individuals approached the 51-year-old man after hearing him give commands to his dog in Ukrainian and questioned him about his nationality. ⤵️

President Zelensky: “The Americans asked us not to strike Russia’s energy infrastructure—shortly after, Russia launched a combined attack on our energy facilities in Kremenchuk.”

🚤 Russia…

OTD in 1940 USSR occupied Lithuania to prevent them forming “anti-soviet government”. This was followed by “Elections” that were “won” by pro-USSR party who “voted to join USSR”. Imagine doing that in today’s day and age…

‼️ A building used by Boeing in Kyiv was badly damaged in a Russian air attack, in what appeared to be a deliberate strike on the US aerospace company, - FT

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Oleksandr Shestovsky before and after 3 years of Russian captivity. In the second photo, he’s the man in the middle.

Today, a russian drone hit the World Central Kitchen warehouse in Zaporizhzhia, founded by our ambassador José Andrés💔 It stored supplies for civilians affected by russian aggression. This is a disgrace. russia keeps targeting those who aim to help, like the terrorists they are.

Fake. 🇮🇷 Iranian state TV broadcast an AI-generated image, falsely claiming it shows a downed Israeli F-35 stealth fighter.

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Thousands of protesters turned out in downtown Dallas.

Now the White House is saying that Trump didn't know the "full scale" of ICE's efforts to detain & deport undocumented people, after it's been all over the news for months, and the White House bragged about their cruelty. Bullshit.

One doesn’t have to be a Batman to fight off evil. Sometimes, it’s enough to be a man with a bat. Or a woman. Or a cartoon dog. Let’s make a NAFO air defense unit that bonks the russian drones away a reality: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Humanitarian aid warehouse which worked with World Central Kitchen in central Ukraine was hit this morning

#NoKings

The moment when a mother meets her son, a #Ukrainian Defender who was tortured by Russians while in captivity. It is reported that Heorhii's mother told that Russians cut his finger off in the first days of his captivity and then sent her photos.

"My index finger.They [Russians] said, 'You don't need it anymore." This is a Ukrainian Defender from Sloviansk,Donetsk region, who was returned to #Ukraine during today's exchange. While in captivity,the Russians cut his index finger off, "justifying" this by saying that "he no longer needed it."

🇺🇦💔 This is a Ukrainian soldier originally from Slovyansk, Donetsk region, who was returned to Ukraine during today's exchange. In captivity, the Russians took away his finger, "justifying" it by saying that "he no longer needed it."

OTD in 1940 Soviet Union shot down a Finnish civil flight from Estonia to Helsinki, killing diplomats from France & USA plus businessmen from our allies in Germany. We denied it. Imagine the Russian military shooting down civil aircraft in this day & age then lying about it.

🔴 A Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia has destroyed a warehouse holding over 100 tons of humanitarian aid. The supplies were meant for displaced people and frontline communities. All 100 tons were lost in the fire. Damages are estimated at $3 million. 📹: Radio Svoboda

OTD in 1941 Soviets started forcibly deporting 50,000 of the Baltic people we had ‘liberated from fascism’. 60% died. 75% were women & kids Imagine mass deportations happening today..

I have counted 34,943 Russian combatant deaths over the past 289 days since I began tracking. This number will increase, as I have not finished error-checking, and we typically undercount during the first pass through the data.

Apparently letting a country that gave up nukes be invaded will lead other countries to decide they better have nukes cos they won't believe your promises that they don't need nukes. Who could ever have guessed?

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."
