Last night, russians attacked Kyiv and the region with 24 ballistic missiles — exactly the same number terrorussia used against Ukraine's capital over the entire 2024. russia is erasing Kyiv at full swing live, and the world doesn't give a shit.

In 2026, Kyiv is facing more ballistic missiles in a single night than it did during the entire year of 2024. I can't wrap my head around the hell we're being forced to endure. And there is still no light at the end of the tunnel.

Among the targets of last night's Russian airstrike in the Kyiv area: big logistics and manufacturing sites of the Epitsentr-K, Ukraine's largest home improvement chain. The firm says its tiles production is destroyed and will be moved abroad; mourns the loss of lives, jobs and UA tax revenues.

Kyiv is once again under a horrific russian ballistic missile attack now.

Ukraine's vile and brutal attacks on Wildberries in 2026 forced russia to start its defensive invasion in 2014.

2,5 days passed, yet firefighters still struggle to put out a fire in the warehouses of Ukraine's publishing house Ranok and the bookstore Knygoland in Kharkiv. The russian army targeted them on August 1, burning 8M books, incl school textbooks — just weeks before the start of a new school year.

The russian society had no problem with their army exterminating Mariupol, committing the Bucha massacre, mass murders in Izium, & nuclear terrorism, bombing of Okhmatdyt hospital, abducting Ukrainian children, or torturing POWs... But the loss of Wildberries? That's where the line must be drawn.

Every day, we hate russia more. And every day, it still isn't enough.

9 were murdered & dozens injured in the russian latest attack against Kyiv. Reportedly, most ppl died on the street on their way to shelter. To escalate terror, russia is changing a pattern of attacks w/ 1st deadly missiles now arriving minutes after the air raid alert's on, leaving no time to hide

A russian ballistic missile, supplied by North Korea, killed the family of Voronovi last night, incl parents Olena and Artem, and three of their underage children: Mark, Azariy Ilai, and Emiliia. Other kids — Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federika, and 18mo grandson Artem — are missing.

First responders rescued and evacuated a 93yo woman. The russians bombed her home in Lviv, trapping her in the rubble of her apartment at the highest floor. Don't look away, please. The russian terror continues every day.

russia is a terrorist state.

With 74 missiles and 265 drones, russians hit multiple towns across Ukraine last night, killing a family of 5, incl 3 minor children. Two kids were safely rescued from the rubble. In the photo, it's one of the two multistorey houses heavily bombed in Lviv. Some residents are still missing.

Monitoring channels report that another russian massive combined missile and drone attack is expected tonight. Tu-95 bombers are already airborne. It's impossible to explain how stressful it is to live under this never-ending f*cking russian roulette.

Iran demands compensation from Ukraine for a ship damaged in the Caspian Sea while refusing to pay compensation for shooting down a Ukrainian passenger plane in 2020 or for supplying russia with the weapons it uses to wage its genocidal war against Ukraine.

Today I saw a video of a little boy laughing after slipping on an icy path. He laughed so hard at his own fall. The woman who posted it wrote: "It was our last calm New Year. This boy is no more, russia killed him. He was just 2m short of his 7th birthday." Our russophobia will never be sufficient

"Russia's invasion becomes a 'war in Ukraine.' Moscow's neo-imperial bid for a sphere of influence, where neighbors are to be murdered until they give up sovereignty, becomes "security interests." Ukraine's refusal to be massacred morphs into an obstacle to peace," writes Andrew Chakhoyan.

When righteous calls to end the war become warmongering

Russia's war on Ukraine has yet to end because Russia keeps waging it. It is shocking, though regrettably unsurprising, that in the fifth summer since the 2022 escalation by the aggressor, and 12 yea...

Today is the Day of Mourning and Remembrance for Defenders who were tortured, executed, or died in captivity. OTD in 2022, russia committed a horrific war crime — blowing up "Barrack 200" in Olenivka, where it held captive Mariupol defenders. More than 50 servicemen were killed & 130 wounded.

For my more recent readers: The War (which Russia started in Feb 2014, not 2022) had begun with a string of brutal murders of Ukrainian civilians opposing Russian invasion in Crimea, Donbas and other UA regions. S. Chubenko here is one of the 3 most known martyrs, along with R. Ametov and V. Rybak.

12yrs ago russian terrorists murdered 16yo Stepan Chubenko in the Donetsk region. They tortured the boy for a week and then shot him dead w/ 5 bullets for wearing a 🇺🇦 ribbon. Rest in glory, Stepan. The world had turned a blind eye to the russian genocidal war for way too long.

On Sunday, in broad daylight, the russians hit a grocery store in Chernihiv, killing two people, incl a 10yo child, and injuring 13. Monsters, pure monsters. russians are pure evil.

Romania started shooting down russian Shahed drones that violate its airspace. No escalation, no end of the world, no catastrophic consequences — just the right thing to do, albeit a very long-overdue one.

Our dear Kyiv ❤️‍🩹 📷 Ivan Antypenko

Use Iranian money to compensate damages to ships ✅ Use russian assets to compensate Ukraine for years of russia's illegal war of aggression ⛔ Trump btw already has the authority to give Ukraine russian assets right away — the Congress passed respective REPO act in 2024.

When Lavrov complains to Rubio that Europe is trying to inflict a strategic defeat on russia, it's a nice sign that Europe is on the right track. The sooner russia loses, the better for all of us.

Will Western mouthpieces for the russian narrative of an "authoritarian Ukraine" have anything to say now? Despite relentless russian air attacks, Ukrainians took to the streets — and are being heard. Our institutions may not be fully mature yet, but democracy is deeply embedded in who we are.

In 2014, AFU's new Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi helped liberate Mariupol. May we all live to see him lead Mariupol's liberation once again.

Thank God common sense prevailed, and President Zelenskyi listened to the calls of the army and society, appointing Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new AFU Commander-in-Chief. Drapatyi is a man of honor and grace, a battle-grown and hardened major general, who cares about human lives.

Another night of russian terror killed an 89yo lady and injured 13 in Kyiv and oblast. Invaders used 41 Iskander, Tsyrkon, Onix & Kh-59/69 missiles, and 125 drones. The attack began immediately after the alarm went on leaving no time to reach shelters. Odesa was also under attack.

On the second day of protests against the dismissal of minister Fedorov, more people are gathering than yesterday, demanding ousting Syrskyi and Fedorov's return. This badly resembles last July. Why is Zelenskyi learning nothing from recent history?
