As more Russian Shaheds make it to Kyiv and air defense shakes the night ahead of a possible missile attack, I can’t stop thinking: there was a choice. Give Ukraine what it needs to stop this. Instead, they’re twisting Ukraine’s arm and emboldening Russia.

Brutal night for Kyiv and all of Ukraine. Russia launched massive combined attack on civilians: ballistic missiles, Shaheds, explosions, fires. The sky was burning. Thousands spent the night in bomb shelters, asking each other in the morning: Did we all survive? 1/2

At last — the news we’ve all waited for! First stage of the 1000-for-1000 exchange: 390 Ukrainians are home — 270 defenders and 120 civilians, many simply abducted by Russia. They tried to erase them. Ukraine brings them back. May every waiting family get their moment too.

Russia paraded Shahed drones today—the same ones it uses to bomb Ukrainian cities and kill civilians. This parade wasn’t about WWII or modern weapons. It was about glorifying terror and war crimes.

Never again’ didn’t work for our generation. Russia turned it into ‘we can do it again.’ Russizm is the new evil and fascist state is trying to steal victory that belongs to all of us. This time, ‘never again’ must be real.

Year four of taking Kyiv in three days—and now central Russia’s a no-fly zone. 130+ flights canceled, mobile internet down, airports and roads in chaos. But hey, isn’t this exactly what you sign up for when you start war?

All night Russian drones terrorized people in Kyiv. Residential buildings hit across the city, two killed. Russia’s “Victory Day” is soaked in blood and war crimes. And in two days, some will still go to Moscow to shake Putin’s hand. Shame

And now it’s official: for the first time ever, Ukrainian naval drone destroyed warplane. Magura sea drone struck Russian Su-30 near Novorossiysk — where Moscow hides what’s left of its Black Sea fleet. Estimated loss: $50 million. No place for Russia in the Black Sea.

Russia is bombing Kharkiv with drones again—right now. No progress on the battlefield, so Putin returns to what he knows: bombing civilians. Since March, attacks on Kharkiv have kept growing. The freer he feels, the higher the civilian cost.

In front of foreign ambassadors at the site of Russian missile attack, Zelensky outlines Ukraine’s position on peace plan: these are temporarily occupied territories — talks can begin only after full unconditional ceasefire.

Russia bombed us all night—first drones, then missiles. Nine killed in Kyiv, and more might still be under the rubble. The city’s covered in smog. Is this what peace is supposed to look like? How much longer will Russia be allowed to kill us?

“I don’t hold Zelenskyy responsible, but I’m not exactly thrilled with the fact that that war started,” Trump says while meeting Meloni. Same-day photo from Kherson — Russian drones continue hunting civilians.
