What's your favorite meme about the recent attacks on Russia by the Security Service of Ukraine?

🇺🇦 “A deliberate attack on civilians.” That’s how President Zelensky described Russia’s brutal missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy. Once again, innocent lives are targeted by aggression.

The last two independent broadcasters in Georgia—TV Pirveli and Formula TV—are under threat. A politically motivated lawsuit by the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party could force them off the air. This is a dangerous step toward media suppression. In a democracy, criticism is a right—not a crime. 1/2

The battle where Imperial Japan lost 4 of their aircraft carriers and is generally considered the turning point in the Pacific War.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Today, I addressed the participants of the Summit in Vilnius and emphasized that the key to lasting peace is clear – the aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression. Any reward would only show him that war pays off.

Eleven years of war. Three years of full-scale invasion. And I still can't get used to how casually some people discuss this war -- who'll beat whom? -- as if it's just a match between Real Madrid and Manchester United, not the survival of a nation facing extermination in the 21st century.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

It took me a while, but I can now see a purpose in speaking to the discussion of my departure from Yale for the University of Toronto.

"The key to lasting peace is clear: Putin must get nothing that justifies his aggression. Any rewards shows him that war pays off. If Putin decides who joins NATO or where NATO's infrastructure can't or can be, his appetite for war will only grow," Zelensky.

🇺🇦 Ukraine has agile & replenishable resources - backed by a European military capability growing in strength…. 🇷🇺 Whereas Russia has a powerful dinosaur structure (now being degraded permanently by Ukrainian drones) and a slow grind at the front, backed by an economy hollowing out. Part 1:

Today is historic. russia lost Tu-95s, Tu-160s, and an A-50. That’s a hit to their nuclear shield. A-50 was their “eyes” in the sky - now blind. Tu-95s/160s carry nukes - now burning. These planes aren’t made anymore. Sanctions = no replacement. NATO just got stronger. Putin just got humiliated.
