'Til the end! Til the end!' A pledge we make at every protest in Georgia. Tomorrow, it'll be our 150th day of daily protests. We'll march towards the Public Prosecutor's Office. Keep an eye on us. 🇬🇪

On the 149th consecutive day, Rustaveli avenue is blocked. Here, we read out the names of our 50+ political prisoners and, as always, express solidarity with Ukraine. 🇬🇪🇺🇦 Keep an eye on us for a big rally tomorrow for the 150th day of daily protests.

Just happened across this today. Hope it’s a good omen 🇺🇦🕊️…

Since early morning, teens stood by as rescuers searched for their 17-year-old classmate after Russia’s attack on Kyiv. They watched in silence as his body was pulled from the rubble.

While russia attacks innocents, we continue to help our defenders🙏 More generators, drones and FPV drones were delivered by the UAO team to several units fighting at the frontline🪖 By the way, we almost reached the aim for the 100% matching campaign: donorbox.org/doubledown

2-year-old girl gives an interview to an American media about how loud it was last night… 2 years old, the child has not seen peacetime…

Remember these faces….

The Ukrainian Air Force reports on the combined missile and drone attack by Russia on Ukraine overnight. Shot down: 7/11 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles 31/37 Kh-101 cruise missiles 0/6 Iskander-K cruise missiles 6/12 Kalibr cruise missiles 4/4 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles 132/145 Shahed drones

A map has been released showing the estimated trajectory of incoming Russian missiles and drones overnight.

Trump refuses to say whether Ukraine should be forced to recognize Russia’s illegal grab of Crimea. “I don’t care… I have no favorites.” That’s not neutrality—that’s enabling aggression. Ukraine’s sovereignty isn’t up for trade. Trump isn’t brokering peace, he’s making space for modern imperialism.

Russia’s Shoigu claims EU peacekeepers in Ukraine could trigger World War III—and calls Ukraine “our historical territory.” Russia wants full control over Ukraine, no interference from Europe, and a clear path to rearm and try again. Their intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

Russia's 51th GRAU arsenal NE of Moscow continues to spectacularly explode. Everything burning and showering debris for kilometres around was intended for targets including innocent civilians in free Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

🇬🇪 April 9, 1989: Soviet paratroopers crushed a peaceful pro-independence rally in Tbilisi. 21 Georgians were killed. The commander on the ground? Alexander Lebed, a rising Soviet general. Years later, he would be funded by Bidzina Ivanishvili—Georgia’s future PM. A thread 🧵

DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT #GEÓRGIA 🇬🇪 🇪🇺 DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT #GEÓRGIA 🇬🇪 🇪🇺 DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT #GEÓRGIA 🇬🇪 🇪🇺

Zelensky's 'truce' update: "Since the morning, Russian forces have violated Putin’s ceasefire over 2,000 times, with 67 assaults and 1,355 shellings, including 713 with heavy weapons. They’ve used FPVs 673 times. Despite promising peace, Russia’s actions show it’s not interested in real ceasefire."

Rebecca Burke said she was declared an illegal alien as she tried to leave the U.S. She was shackled, transported to an ICE detention center & locked up for 19 days. The U.K. has updated its travel advice & now warns of potential arrest or detention of travelers. search.app/AEbGFM3qgbWY...

"As our world leaders debate how much territory Russia should retain, this book makes a compelling case for the complete expulsion of Russia from Ukrainian lands". Carl Sheline about "The Torture Camp on Paradise Street"

🤬❗️Today, the Russians attacked an evacuation vehicle. Vehicle was first struck by a drone with a fragmentation munition, and then two more drones attempted to target the people. People were wounded. Easter ceasefire?

‼️ The Russians use the order not to shoot from our side to pull out their killed, conduct demining (!), bring in food and water, and equip positions (!), - DeepState

⚡️"Evil has its hour, but God has His day." — Zelensky’s Easter message of hope. "For 1152 days of full-scale war, we’ve wanted one thing: victory of life over death. Today, all Ukrainian Christians celebrate Easter together. United in prayer. United for Ukraine."

⚡️🇺🇦 “We believed, we waited, we love you” — Zelensky shares emotional footage of freed Ukrainian Heroes returning home. Among them are marines from the 503rd Marine Battalion.

❗️There is NO truce: in all directions, the Russian Federation continues to fire, as before, - said Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation in Ukraine.

Zelensky on the "Easter truce" Between 18:00 yesterday and 00:00 today, 387 attacks and 19 assaults by the Russian army took place. Russians used drones 290 times.

Despite Russia’s announced Easter ceasefire, Zelensky reports 59 Russian shellings and 5 attacks along the front. “On Easter morning, they pretend to pause the war — but keep trying to inflict harm,” he said. The truce? Just for show.

A murderer in church. His sins are unredeemable. What do you think he prays about? (If at all) Because of Putin, millions of Ukrainians cannot go to Easter service - we have curfew, and Russia destroyed or damaged hundreds of churches, killed almost 70 priests and pastors.

🇺🇸 Rep. Joe Wilson slams Putin’s Easter “truce” as fake: “History will remember Putin as a weak and pitiful man. A war criminal bombing playgrounds & Christian bakeries, all while pretending to seek peace. He could end this invasion today—but chooses not to.”

For the 142th consecutive night, Rustaveli avenue is blocked. ✅ #GeorgiaProtests continue—and at times, they feel like they’re even growing in size and determination.

Just recorded a great chat with Jonathan Fink on his @siliconcurtain.bsky.social podcast this week, alongside my partner Jez. We spoke about our trips to #Lviv for British people, what’s happening in #Ukraine, and a few other bits too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ATl8...

19yo Russian POW reveals his drunk commander sends units to slaughter & ties misbehaving soldiers to trees, leaving them to face death by Ukrainian drones.

Zelensky imposes sanctions on Chinese firms over alleged arms supplies to Russia. Affected: Beijing Aviation and Aerospace Xianghui Tech, Rui Jin Machinery, Zhongfu Shenying Carbon Fiber. These firms provide a range of dual-use goods. www.president.gov.ua/documents/24...

The U.S. opposed a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine, claiming it "doesn’t help achieve peace." Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with achieving peace — it’s about excusing Russian war crimes and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. All-time low. Yikes.

Ukraine carries to grave the victims of russia’s Palm Sunday “mistake”. Father, mother and son. The family was on their way to church. They put a soccer ball into the son’s casket. The boy loved soccer. #StandWithUkraine #Sumy
