Radio Svoboda published footage from the "Kvitneva" station in the Kyiv Oblast, where 8 people were killed as a result of a Russian missile strike. Train was delayed overnight, leaving passengers waiting at the platform when the strike occurred. 🎥: Telegram/svoboda_radio
How many more?💔 Eight people were kіІІеd at the Kvitneva railway station in the Kyiv region after a Russian strіke. They were simply waiting for a delayed train. Eight civilians 💔
Arkan at the highest point of Ukraine - Hoverla🇺🇦 The energy is truly incredible. With love from Ukraine💙💛 🎥 kocherhadana
I ruined Solomiya’s mood again. I washed her blueberries so she could eat them, but she wanted them unwashed instead😅
The Wildberries hub in Aleksin, Tula oblast, received drone sanctions and is permanently closed for temporary maintenance. Now, only 7 of 26 Wildberries hubs remain operational. By the end of the week, the number remaining will be very small indeed. Then the real mess begins.🔥
Drone sanctions have successfully denied the Russians all use of the Black Sea. After one of its ships was sunk, the Russian carrier FESCO will no longer sail there due to risk. With both imports and exports cut off that way, the economic impact will be significant. 🍿
❗️Vladimir Tkachuk, head of the Uraldronzavod plant that produces Upyr drones in Russia, was blown up. He survived and is in the hospital in critical condition. Upyr is a Russian FPV drone used against Ukraine since 2023. Some of their parts are 3D printed.
North Korea started deploying a missile unit of around 90 personnel&is preparing to transfer 120 ballistic missiles to be launched at Ukraine- Reuters Russia plans to integrate the unit into its 112th Missile Brigade&equip it with up to 120 ballistic missiles&six launchers for attacks on #Ukraine.
I'd like to thank Donald for all he did ti help make this possible.
⚡️Update: Russian ballistic missile attack kills 15, injures 51 in Kyiv and surrounding area as rescue efforts continue. A massive Russian attack killed 15 people and injured 51 others in Ukraine's capital and Kyiv Oblast as fires engulfed Kyiv and its suburbs, authorities reported Aug. 5.
2 points: 1. The year 1941 will always be before 1944. That's just how time works. Even if it is imperialist. 2. Blocking everyone but your Prez may seem loyal but it reeks of capitalist hunger for social media status to feed the greed of oligarchs & makes you out as enemy of people.
Another article, at last. It's been a little hectic down in the bunker so a few things have fallen through the cracks but you can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try. open.substack.com/pub/darthput...
Be careful what you wish for
A question I never get an answer to

OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.
💔 17 killed. 44 injured after tonight’s ballistic attack. I live in Kyiv. Night after night, I watch my city being destroyed one civilian target at a time. Not military bases.
It’s the worst feeling when you’re completely defenseless, and russia keeps attacking civilian targets across Kyiv nonstop. Last night, not a single ballistic missile was intercepted. russia launched 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and 115 drones.
Please don’t look away. Share what’s happening in Ukraine. Help us save lives.
As someone living in Kyiv, I’m begging you: Please help us stop this. Almost every night, russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hitting civilians, homes, and warehouses. We can’t stop these missiles because we don’t have enough Patriot systems. People are dying.
💔 They were just waiting for a train. Eight people were killed by a russian strike at Kvitneva station near Kyiv before they could even board. The train was running a little late. A few minutes changed everything. This is what russian terror looks like.
‼️North Korea is deploying a missile unit of about 90 personnel to russia for strikes on Ukraine, writes Reuters citing the GUR. North Korean military personnel may be armed with 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers. Pyongyang has already delivered a new batch of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 missiles.
Odesa. Preliminary a russian strike hit a shelter where civilians were hiding🤬🤬
I’m not okay today. I just need a little time to feel like myself again. Sorry if my thoughts are darker than usual.
Hey friends, After tonight’s attack, I’m feeling especially broken and completely defenseless today. I don’t really know what to say. My heart hurts so much for Kyiv. We shouldn’t have to live like this. We shouldn’t be losing so many innocent lives.
💔 This wasn’t a military target. This was one of Rozetka’s largest warehouses. Destroyed in minutes. Behind every warehouse are thousands of orders, hundreds of jobs, and people simply trying to live their lives. This is what terror looks like.
❗️russia may launch about 100 ballistic missiles at Ukraine every month, – Zelensky's advisor "Flash".
Last night is over. But my body still reacts to every loud sound. This is what surviving ballistic attacks does to you.
