ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

Samara oil pipeline hub is on fire in russia. Notice how it’s not an apartment building, kindergarten, school, or hospital like when russia attacks Ukraine, but the aggressor’s economy, attacked to limit the aggressor’s ability to wage war, not to murder kids in their beds.
Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today?

Over 15,000 civilian casualties in 2026, and those are only the numbers we know about, the direct result of Russian strikes on Ukrainian-controlled territory. But then there are the grey zones. The occupied lands. Places like Oleshky. No one reports from places like these.

This is my Kyiv , it hurts to post it but this is my home city now : where people need to get out of the window of the burning building because Russia bombed it . It hurts as hell . Russia must pay . Russia must feel the pain it caused us . All of it
