Pathetic how so called “disinformation experts”, “experts on Russian-Ukrainian war” which appears recently thousands by number, even don’t know or couldn’t agree that this war started in 2014 not in 2022.

The hardest thing after a night like this is to want anything at all, to get up and to do something. As one user wrote on Facebook, I don't know what else to write.
How am I? The house is shaking. Kids in the corridor. Very loud in Kyiv. And remember, several days ago, people interested in Russian OSINT discussed how Dostoyevsky is a great author. Yeah, guys, come to Kyiv, listen to ballistic missile explosions, and then we'll talk about “great Russian culture”
According to the Mariupol City Council, about 300 people died in the theater bombing. The AP, in its own investigation, concluded that up to 600 people died. Today, Russia opened its own theater there, destroying evidence of one of its greatest war crimes during the full-scale war.
Literally no silent nights in Ukraine (tonight we have hundreds of drones and missiles). All these quotes that peace is SO CLOSE are bullshit. Russia understands only language of power, never language of diplomacy.
This is our night today. For those who in Kyiv. Red title as a target for Russian army. Very loud. It was fire and destruction near our house, but still it Is Ukraine who need to agree to barbaric conditions to end this war. Not the aggressor who start it.
Cherkasy, Ukraine. Parents are lighting up a soccer field with car lights for their kids to be able to have their usual practice and live kind of “normal” life. Russians can destroy our electricity but they can’t destroy our love and light inside Ukrainians. Credit to Olena Shabunina.
Sorry for the sensitive content. Ukraine again. Ternopil. West of Ukraine. There is no safe place here.
That was the night in Kyiv. Son's school has no windows on the first floor. Kids go for learning anyway. Diplomats will talk about how they were disturbed. Soldiers will fight for our land. Russia still exists.
Ukraine hit targets in Russia that used in this barbaric war. Russia hit civilians, killed kids. Today 4 kids died because of Russians. And Trump administration put this in the same row as an evidence that nobody want to end this war. Crazy.
Clearly hear how Russia “want peace”. Now we’re awaiting for new missiles.
It’s how Russia want peace. 6 people died for the moment after this missile attack in Kyiv. Among them 6 y.o. boy.
Occupied Crimea. Kids from 10 to 17 were taken to military exercises.
Night in the metro, Kyiv. Ukrainians = values, love, humanity. Russians—everything is the opposite. Video from UNICEF, Ukraine.
One more night in Kyiv near psychopath neighbour. Photo credit: National police of Ukraine
Very loud in Kyiv. Ballistic missiles from Russia. Drones as usual - a lot.
The Russian terror of Ukrainians at night is continuing. Very loud in Kyiv. Pls, tell me right now about the «greatness» of Russian culture, which is no more than a culture of death.
life in Kyiv - it's when you want to sleep, want to finish your article for your PhD, and want to survive through another stupid drone attack from Russia.
Key takeaways from #GlobalFact12: - AI is a major challenge; we need to develop AI literacy. - fact-checkers are adapting, building tools with LLMs while feeding them verified info. - social media downplays fact-checking, but users still rely on professional checks in debates.

The other hard night in Ukraine because of Russia. Our “flight radar”, but with drones and missiles.
This isn’t just a new tattoo. It’s a symbol of the Evil Mavka - resistance movement of UA women during the Russian occupation. It’s my sign of respect for the incredibly heroic women who do not give up in the most difficult life circumstances, and believe in Ukraine even more than the rest of us.
That’s why I don’t believe in “good Russians”. Navalnaya: Crimea belongs to UA and it actually belongs to Russia now. It becomes a complicated question, because we should not forget that millions of people now have Ru passports and even UA authorities admit that this is a very complicated question.
