To understand Russian culture, merely understand that Russians are now using thermobaric warheads to target apartment buildings full of sleeping families in Kyiv. This is the essence of everything Russia is.

Bloomberg reports that Russia's oil exports have increased over the past two weeks. This is largely due to nearly half of the sanctioned vessels from the terrorist state resuming the transportation of Russian oil. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

🔴 A Russian drone strike killed 12-year-old Marharyta Tytarenko in Ukraine’s Dnipro region. Her 6-year-old sister and parents were injured when their house was destroyed.

Unbedingt lesen! Meine Kolleginnen haben recherchiert, was mit der 🇺🇦 Journalistin Wiktoria Roschina passiert ist. Sie recherchierte in den von 🇷🇺 besetzten Gebieten, wurde von Russen gefoltert. Nach Monaten übergab 🇷🇺 ihren verstümmelten Leichnam. Sie wurde 26 Jahre alt. www.zeit.de/2025/18/vikt...

"Why wait until May 8 if the ceasefire can start right now? If Russia truly wants peace, it must immediately cease fire. If the fire can be stopped now or from any chosen date for 30 days, then it is truly possible — not just for show." - said Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sybiha.

I want a ceasefire so I can have my 4th victory-free victory day parade without worrying about Ukrainian drones.

When Al Qaeda struck the Twin Towers Ukraine and Europe didn't speak to both sides They sent troops to fight terrorism with us Now America disarms the Ukraine and supports the Terrorists. Because so called Christian Conservative worship the Anti Christ and think evil is good. Damn them.

Is there any member of the Trump admin that is not a complete moron??

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Just to be clear, we reached the arresting-judges-and-deporting-US-citizens-without-due-process stage of the slide into authoritarianism today. And the citizens in question included a toddler and a child with cancer who needs treatment in the US.

Russia’s missile strike on Kyiv killed siblings Sofiia Kozlova, 19, and Mykyta Kozlov, 21, in their home. Their parents, both doctors, were away at the time. The attack killed 12 and injured 87. Over 30 people remain hospitalized, including those with amputations.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Words aren’t enough.

If we found out Putin had purchased billions in $Trump coin, wouldn’t everything make sense?

Es geht nicht um gestreifte Zonen auf der Landkarte. Es geht um Menschen. Es geht um Menschen, die dort unter russischen Besatzung ausharren müssen. Es geht also um Freiheit. Und für die Freiheit muss man doch kämpfen. Nicht nur hoffen, sondern was tun.

Couple killed holding hands as Russia rained missiles and drones on Kyiv overnight.

The Telegraph launched a bold ad campaign across the UK. Social media users noticed this eye-catching banner in Kent.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

💔 A brother and sister died in Kyiv: the boy was 21 years old, the girl was 19 years old, — Zelensky

Every time you hear that Putin wants peace, remember this photo Kyiv, 2025

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.

🔴 Russian forces targeted Kyiv with missiles and drones during a massive attack overnight. As of now, nine people are reported killed, 70 others were injured. Nine regions of Ukraine were attacked, the State Emergency Service reports.

Curious how the US president can change side from the West to Russia, from democracy to autocracy, without anybody having a say.

Trump is again berating Zelenskyy and Ukraine, the victim of Russia’s war, instead of focusing on getting a ceasefire that ensures RU will be deterred from future aggression and not simply emboldened. This is very unserious and quite frankly inept diplomacy, Donnie…

Canada, Lewis Powell and China are all showing that standing up to Trump leads him to fold like a cheap chair--while praising him, "building bridges" and trying to be agreeable gets you nothing but humiliation and degradation. Europe has not learned this yet.

First you mess up. Then you quit. Then you call it a great success. #Trump style. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

⚡️ 9 killed, 30 injured after Russian drone hits bus in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. A Russian drone attack against the town of Marhanets on the morning of April 23 killed at least nine people and injured at least 30, Governor Serhii Lysak reported.

The EU should enforce real sanctions on Russia. One example: Any person, company or state that does business with Russia will be banned from doing any business with the EU or EU companies. Another: EU should close all waterways it can close leading to Russia.

Russian ammunition depot in Kirzhach, Vladimir oblast, got visits from Ukraine. Note: again, Ukraine hits military targets, while russian aggressors add a severe war crime to a crime of aggression and shell civilians.

American actor and director Sean Penn visited Ukraine’s 3rd Separate Special Operations Regiment in Kropyvnytskyi — marking his fourth trip to Ukraine during the full-scale war. 🎥: 3rd Separate Special Operations Regiment

We've built a comprehensive database of Russia's shadow fleet, including how many oil tankers in that fleet are now sanctioned. Of the 343 ships we track, 264 are now sanctioned, which means 79 are still unsanctioned. The EU in particular needs to sanction more ships. With @econharris.bsky.social

💔 Two children injured in Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia, — OVA ❗️14-year-old boy in serious condition, 4-year-old boy in moderate condition.

‼️ “Putin: Russia to consider proposal for moratorium on strikes on civilian targets” Think about what this headline admits that Russia is doing now. www.kommersant.ru/doc/7674798

My latest in @thebulwark.bsky.social: There’s nothing inevitable in war, and the Ukrainians are in very strong defensive positions right now, and are improving weekly, their ability to generate force and to reinforce those positions. www.thebulwark.com/p/if-ukraine...

Will JD Vance be meeting Putin now pretty please?

Ob wir ihn gewählt haben oder nicht, ob wir im Detail einverstanden sind oder nicht: Wir sollten Friedrich #Merz eine #faire_Chance geben - Deutschland braucht den Erfolg der kommenden Regierung so dringend.

⚡️"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."

Putin’s “Easter Truce.” If the Trump administration hasn’t figured it out yet, this is the time to stand up for Ukraine against Putin, his lies, his “cease fires” and his war crimes.

❗️Judging by what the Ukrainian soldiers writes, nothing has changed on 80% of the front, the Russians have not stopped firing…
