Russia used cluster munitions against densely populated areas of Kyiv. The pattern of these attacks points to an effort to destroy not only lives, but also Ukrainian culture, identity, and the ability of Ukrainians to live freely in their own country.

we should be talking about this more, especially w/ Ukraine's requests for Patriots & how badly the Iran war is going. "The US military has burned through...roughly half of its Patriot interceptors since the start of the war" @cnn.com: why didn't you mention Ukraine in that article?

CNN@cnn.com · yesterday

The US military has exhausted nearly 80% of its interceptors for a key missile defense system as senior US military commanders are warning that the Pentagon's munitions stockpile is "dangerously low," according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/4yZ1UWn

"sacrilegious" xD Smash all propaganda

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · yesterday

Russia has criticised the "sacrilegious" demolition of a Soviet monument in Poland, calling it a “flagrant violation” of a bilateral agreement. But Poland's Institute of National Remembrance says it was a "propaganda object" that had to be removed under a law on "decommunising" public spaces.

I joined the Ukrainian army to defend Ukrainian people: not the government, as I don't trust governments; and not the politicians, whom I trust even less. I don't regret that decision. having said that, Zelenskyy has made some absolutely terrible decisions in the past week

Russia has been seizing men off streets, outside workplaces, and from police stations, beating some of them into signing military contracts, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation.

Russia accused of forcing men into army

"When they catch men and send them off,” lawyer Artyom Klyga told the Wall Street Journal.

Sometimes you don’t need pictures….. A Russian ballistic missile hitting about 1000m from our apartment in Kyiv, Friday night. 🇺🇦

That moment when the air alarm goes off, you freeze, then remember it's commemorating the Warsaw Uprising

Russia launched 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic missiles, and 185 attack drones against Ukraine overnight, with Kyiv the primary target. Once again, residential areas bore the brunt of the attack. 🇺🇦

Huge rally in Kyiv today in support of Mykhailo Fedorov. As I’ve been saying from the start, reform isn’t just a political talking point in Ukraine, it’s something people are prepared to take to the streets for.

Not the first time russia violated Polish airspace, but that's deep into Poland. I don't want to see young Poles conscripted into WWIII, so it's far past time for Europe to give Ukraine more committed military support

An object crashed in a field about 100 km from Poland’s border with Ukraine overnight, after a major Russian attack Poland is investigating the incident; Ukrainian officials said the object was a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile.

Remember, we’re still waiting for the 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange that President Trump publicly attached his name to, an exchange that never happened. As part of that, Putin got his Victory Day celebrations. So forgive me if I don’t get my hopes up.

For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.
