Ukrainians are not supposed to have to live like this.

Russia is terror bombing Ukraine. But why should that trigger a real response from the West when nothing else did the last eleven years?

Weird we are still around considering the mix of incompetence and cowardice among our elites. "The EU is weighing whether to add Russia to its grey list of countries with lax money laundering controls If Ukraine had been admitted to NATO in 2008, perhaps the current war could have been avoided,"

As Ukraine razed Russia’s most feared nuclear bombers, the West has no choice but to call Putin’s nuclear bluff once and for all. euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/06/r...

Can some smart person please explain to me why Ukraine hasn't hit the bridges over Don and Volga?

The oil terminal at Engels, Saratov region, Russian Federation is burning nicely. A strategic target of the russian fascist invaders has been hit hard.

If Russia isn't taught a lesson about its aggression, we will be faced with constant attacks.

A huge part of the answer is in Russia's $300m annual budget used specifically to corrupt foreign leaders and bribe high-ranking officials. Russia openly boasted about this budget and how successfully it was being used. It looks to me like they were getting a great return on their investment.

The EU and the US with allies should slap heavy sanctions on China until it drops Russia. Could give China a piece of Russian territory in return once Russia has surrendered.

The war is turning Ukraine into the biggest and most modern arms factory in the world.

Again Russia's read lines come to nothing. Ukraine destroyed about a third of Russia's strategic bombers. That means one of Russia's pillars of the nuclear triad is threatened. Did Russia launch nuclear missiles in return? No. Russia stay silent for a few days then threatens unspecific retaliation.

For 11 years I have spent a lot of time arguing that the western world must oppose Russian terror and aggression. What amazes me is that opposing Russia is still something that is debated, not universally agreed on. How could we become such miserable cowards?

Overnight, a Russian/Iranian Shahed flying bomb hit a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv in east Ukraine - reports of 17 people injured. Like the Nazis and their Stuka dive bombers, fascist Russia seems to have fitted sirens to Shaheds to inspire terror in victims.

Indeed, it was Ukraine that retaliated!

Imagine what we could do with the resources that we waste on explaining what the reality of the situation is, over and over and over...

It was Ukraine that retaliated. Russia started the war in 2014. Russia escalated in 2022. Russia is killing Ukrainian civilians, executing POWs, deporting children, erasing cities, bombing hospitals, schools and churches. Whatever Ukraine does it will never be Russia that retaliates.

High-resolution footage shared by @Avivector confirms damage to Russian strategic aviation at Olenya Airbase — showing 4 destroyed Tu-95 bombers and an An-12 transport aircraft.

UK drone deliveries to Ukraine jump from 10,000 to 100,000 in 2025 The UK government will invest a record $474 mn in drone production for Ukraine this year, scaling up from the 10,000 drones delivered in 2024 to an ambitious target of 100,000 units euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/04/u...

🛢️📉 The value of Russia’s crude shipments fell again in the four weeks to June 1, - Bloomberg Flows averaged 3.24 million barrels a day in the four weeks to June 1, tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show. That was down by 170,000 barrels a day from the period to May 25.

41 military aircraft were destroyed by the SBU during Sunday’s Operation “Web,” according to the General Staff of Ukraine.

🚨 BREAKING: UKRAINE DETONATES 1ST EXPLOSIVE TO DAMAGE THE KERCH BRIDGE PILLAR SUPPORTS SBU's statement makes it clear that detonations at more pillar supports of the Crimean Bridge are pending. igorsushko.substack.com/p/breaking-u...

The Security Service of Ukraine carried out an operation to sabotage the Kerch bridge, built illegally by the russian fascist invaders. SBU agents mined the bridge supports at the seabed level using the explosive power equivalent of 1,100 kg of TNT. t.me/SBUkr/14960

Russia kills civilians in central Sumy with Tornado-S cluster munitions. "Hypersonic" Kinzhal hits near Mykolaiv The rush-hour morning strike on Sumy also injured seven civilians, including children. euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/03/r...

Russia's plan for the night of June 1st was to commit one of the largest missile and drone barrages of the war—timed deliberately the day before negotiations in Istanbul. What played out the afternoon of June 1st was not what the Russians expected.

Latest with @jimmyrushton.bsky.social: Ukraine didn’t just humiliate Vladimir Putin with its stunning FPV drone assault on Russia’s strategic bombers—it also embarrassed Donald Trump, who repeatedly dismissed Kyiv’s ability to fight without U.S. help t.co/9SqbwxSa35

Russian fascists maintained the same demands for Ukrainian capitulation in Istanbul on June 2nd. They want Ukraine to just hand over additional 25,000km², disarm its military, and every other demand to strip Ukraine of sovereignty. Russia must be defeated militarily.

When you don't have the cards but you have the drones

We are all waiting.

Ukraine just rewrote the rules of war: Kyiv’s drone attack damaged Russia’s bomber fleet and exposed air base vulnerabilities worldwide www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Senator Lindsey Graham said he aims to have new sanctions imposed on Russia before the G7 summit in late June, - Bloomberg 🇨🇦 The G-7 summit will be held in Alberta, Canada, from June 15 to June 17.

I have been repeating this for the past 2 years and it’s time to repeat it once again to everyone in the west now complaining about escalation risks: If we in the west don’t help Ukraine, they will help themselves. And we will have no control over how they do that.

Today’s spectacular attacks show just how very possible it is to defeat ‘superpower’ Russia.

Russia: Ukrainian drone swarms flying through the Moscow region as well as toward Lipetsk Air Base right now.

Ukraine asked for NATO membership, we said no because of Russian nukes. Ukraine asked for security guarantees, we said no because of Russian nukes. Ukraine asked for long-range weapons, we said no because of Russian nukes. So Ukraine got rid of Russian strategic nuclear bombers

🇺🇦😎 Russia thought it could just shell us, kill us, and demand something in the language of ultimatums. But we are capable of eliminating the threat where it is needed, — Yermak

The Ukrainian SBU releases that 34% of all strategic cruise missile carriers of the Russian Air Force were struck during the operation. Hardware worth $7 billion was destroyed. The worst part for Russia is that it has zero capabilities to reproduce any of its strategic bombers.

This is even more embarrassing than a hypothetical scenario where a nuclear power lost one of its flagships to a nation without a navy.

And it will keep getting worse for Russia.

New Russian proverb just dropped: “Beware of Ukrainians requesting long-distance cargo delivery.”
