One more sick indictment of Russia's regime, full of war criminals. A teenager, in shorts, clearly not military, was hunted down for fun, by a Russian drone pilot in Kherson. What's more the animals proudly publish the terror. It's not known what happened to the boy.
As expected, House Speaker Mike Johnson has killed a vote on Lindsey Graham’s Russia sanctions bill, which passed the Senate earlier this year. The Trump administration will do absolutely nothing to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia’s brutal war.
As of now, after Russia’s strike on Kryvyi Rih’s biggest shopping center, 16 are dead and 130 injured. Nine are still missing, including 2 children.
WarTranslated (Dmitri)@wartranslated.bsky.social · last mo.Russia struck Kryvyi Rih's largest shopping complex, local officials say. As of now, the regional administration reports 2 killed and 50 wounded, including 6 children.
Again it’s just *crazy* to me that the actual North Korean army is fighting a war with a European country and it’s just sort of a footnote in European news. And the political reaction is just some polite objections from a few foreign affairs ministers. Normal stuff, carry on everyone.
In Radushne, people gathered to honour the memory of the large Voronov family, murdered by Russia. A grief so immense that words cannot contain it. 💔
Maria Drutska@mariadrutska.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis pain is impossible to put into words. 💔 Danylo Voronov stands on the ruins of his home, mourning the family Russia took from him - his parents, brothers, sisters, and his 1.5yo son Artem. An entire life destroyed in one Russian strike. How much grief can our people be forced to carry?😭
You all need to erase the idea of the noble and mythical Russian that is so oppressed they couldn't possibly speak out and nonconsenting of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. It's a lie, they do have access to all the same info we all do. A small, very small minority, is actually standing against this.
The moment russian guided bombs struck Sumy, captured by security cameras from a local cafe. Having nowhere to run, people fall on the pavement, covering their loved ones with their bodies. Incomprehensible cruelty.
The death toll in Kyiv has risen to 11 people after the Russian attack. 46 more people injured. So many tragedies brought upon us by the Russian scum. There is another air raid alert right now.
The now famous explosion of the roof-tossing oil silo in Moscow, Russia, was probably caused by a Russian air defense missile. Absolutely hilarious.

Ukrainian emergency crews battling the fire, including at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, following the Russian strike.
Seems like yesterday Russia specifically went out of it's way to target Ukrainian culture. They bombed the Kharkiv art museum, the Dormition Cathedral, and the Kyiv’s Dovzhenko Film Studio.
In two weeks, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will have lasted as long as the entire World War I.

Thought experiment (certainly not original): how and how much better would US and global security be if the US had provided all the munitions it has used against Iran since 2/28 to Ukraine instead? (Yes, yes, Ukraine cannot use some of the munitions, lacks the platforms, but in general). Discuss.

Russians destroyed Mariupol. Now they’re browsing apartments there. And they have the audacity to call it “a bit nerve-wracking.” This is who they are. This has always been who they are.
🔴 UPD: 16 people were injured as a result of the Russian FPV attack on a bus in the Dnipro region, local authorities report. Three others were killed.
2/ Vance, absent from the Iran war campaign, is literally selling his soul to keep Russia's biggest friend in Europe in power. "Or[c]ban" trails by up to 23 points in some opinion polls and various leaks show he called in Moscow's FSB to fix the election, just 5 days away.

This city is covered in nets, and the reason is disturbing.
A train car in which six passengers were killed by a Shahed strike in the Kharkiv region at the end of January.
Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz
Hard for Trump to get out of a war that is making so much money for Putin.
The tragic irony of the last few years is that, had the USG given Ukraine only a fraction of the weapons that they have expended against Iran in a few weeks (Patriots, Tomahawks, etc), Ukraine would have won, oil prices would not be skyrocketing and the US would be more secure.
