@APUkraine @ngumenyuk Congratulations to all and especially @CaolanReports, well done dude #Alumina21 End this NOW 👇😡

Completely blown away by this. Today I was recognised by President Zelenskyy with the Order of Merit. A profound honour. Right now powerful people want the truth about Ukraine buried. It’s a privilege to be able to tell it. ❤️🇺🇦🔥

Much of Americas ills can be traced back to one man: Ronald Reagan

Ukraine says it has doubled the number of successful strikes on Russian targets more than 50 km behind the front line as part of its expanding “Logistics Lockdown” campaign. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov says the focus is shifting toward the systems that enable Russian offensive operations. “We are striking what enables the Russian offensive,” he said, referring to logistics, transport, and rear-area infrastructure. The program launched last month is aimed at disrupting supply chains, depots, and command nodes deeper behind the front line, as Ukraine increases pressure on Russian rear operations across multiple sectors.

Given the scope of corruption in Ireland - aiding and abetting Russia, the enemy of Europe, it's abundantly clear the entire government in Ireland, from top to bottom, is bought and paid for by Russia. Sanctioned Putin mafia member Deripaska is the literal owner of the refinery.

Russia claimed it took Novoplatonivka in Kharkiv region. Ukraine sent in a ground robot and cleared the village. The robotic system gave fire cover while a Ukrainian assault-and-search group cleared the Russian infantry that had infiltrated the settlement — United24. 1/

According to a report by Swedish tax authorities cited by @IrishTimes, Rusal, which owns Aughinish Alumina, is still under the control of sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. What is the point of sanctioning oligarchs like Deripaska if companies reportedly still under their control can continue operating in the EU while feeding Russia's war machine?

I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned. He said yes, if it was supplying Israel. But Russia? No. This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.

First Irish politician out of the traps to call for Aughinish Alumina to stop sending material to Russia. This is going to snowball over the weekend once other revelations about the plant come out.

It's time to close the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry. It's time for effective EU sanctions. Photo: Alan Betson/The Irish Times europeangreens.eu/news/eu-loopho…

This young man @CaolanReports is terrific, and what he's reporting here👇about Irish politicians shames them and the country. They deserve to be exposed. Transparency should be the foundation of democracy, not an optional extra. Here, we see them avoiding this issue and hiding from scrutiny. Our foreign affairs minister has been telling anyone who'll listen that Ireland stands firmly behind and with Ukraine. The Taoiseach has said of Russia, “We have fully supported the sanctions packages agreed to date and are actively engaged with partners in looking at what further measures can be taken.” Of course, he's changed his mind quite a lot since then and now thinks that sanctioning Limerick-based plant Aughinish Alumina, which has a Russian parent company, would damage Ireland and the EU more than Russia. Now, the policy of the Irish government seems to be that ‘we will support sanctions if they don't affect us’. Kinda explains the logic behind the Occupied Territories Bill, insofar as we can support something that doesn't cost us anything, while using it to boast on the world stage about how principled we are. Irish politicians who are shying away from this issue or avoiding questions about it are eroding trust and weakening democracy. It's shameful, and it shames them and us as a country

"Sevastopol: there will be no fuel today. Fuel trucks are only supplying emergency and rescue services. Only 20 liters per person on ration cards. Don't film the fuel trucks, don't post about them in chats, otherwise they'll be burned." -Russian milblogger Two Majors

AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing. And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.

Absolutely tragic that we didn’t get to see @jonfavs beaten to a pulp on the south lawn by a couple of UFC fighters and Steven Cheung

Met in Kyiv with @SecGenNATO ahead of the UDCG summit. Our focus is locked on strengthening air defense, securing long-range ammunition, and financing Ukrainian-made drones. While we are seizing the initiative on the ground, countering ballistic missiles remains our top priority. We need to expand partner contributions to the PURL mechanism and PAC-3 supplies via JUMPSTART. We also discussed launching the UNITE — Brave NATO initiative for joint defense tech projects. Grateful to Mark Rutte for his strong coordination. Every dynamic decision today secures our shared Euro-Atlantic future.

💥 Ukrainian drones struck 5 Russian dry cargo supply ships with fake flags and no transponders in or near the ports of Mariupol and Berdiansk in the Azov Sea. 2-way cargo: military and fuel supplies in, stolen Ukrainian grain out. At least 5 crew dead, several injured.

The land corridor to occupied Crimea is being pummeled by Ukrainian drones at all times, forcing the Russian fascists to restrict transit to resupply the peninsula.

"Selling Irish alumina to Russia's war machine is necessary for Irish economy." Yeah, about that...

Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022. I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.
