Open Letter To the President of the Russian Federation From the President of Ukraine When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past. Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action. It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale. The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America. Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

Russian forces shelled residential neighborhoods in Kherson with multiple launch rocket systems. A father was killed. A mother and her two young daughters were injured. This is what Russia’s war looks like: daily terror against Ukrainian civilians and children. 📹: @United24media

It was a horrible night in Kyiv. But if Putin thinks he can terrorize Ukrainians into submission, he is mistaken.

🚨 BREAKING: Russian attack on Kyiv kills at least one and injures 21 as of now.

Two Sisters. Twelve and Seventeen. Buried Together in Kyiv Today. Liubava was 12. Vira was 17. This morning they were laid to rest side by side in Kyiv, killed along with 22 others when a Russian missile struck the residential building where they lived. Their father, Yevhen Yakovlev, was killed in combat in 2023 defending Ukraine. He never came home. Now their mother has lost her husband, her daughters, and her home. One family. Completely gone. When we talk about missile strikes on residential buildings, we are talking about this. Not infrastructure. Not statistics. Families. Children who had names, ages, futures. A mother who now has none of them. Russia does not accidentally hit apartment buildings. It targets them. Remember Liubava and Vira.

Love this

12 dead in Kyiv from today's Russian missile strike against civilian homes, as of now. And since early morning, rescuers have continued to recover the bodies of people buried under the rubble of their own apartments by Russian fascists.

This is a remarkable photograph-not a woman in sight. China & US -not a single woman in the room.

Putin’s magic is that he can always get close to Trump. But Trump’s magic is that he turns everyone who approaches him into a loser.

So do something.

En lançant une nouvelle frappe massive de drones et de missiles contre les villes et les civils ukrainiens - la plus importante de ces quatre dernières années -, la Russie aggrave un peu plus le forfait de son agression. Elle donne à voir toute l'hypocrisie

It was a Kh-101 missile that struck a residential building in Kyiv, according to preliminary data. The missile was manufactured in the second quarter of this year. This means Russia is still importing the components, resources, and equipment necessary for missile production in circumvention of global sanctions. Stopping Russia’s sanctions evasion schemes must be a genuine priority for all our partners.

Marco Rubio: The Russians are losing five times as many soldiers each month as the Ukrainians. The Ukrainian army is the strongest and most powerful military force in Europe. (Maybe tell your boss to stop trying to force Ukraine into surrendering to Russia.)

How am I supposed to make satire when headlines like this are real 😭

At the request of Putin, Trump begged Zelensky not to send drones to his his WW2 Victory parade. Zelensky agreed, and posted a declaration:

Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine

The difference between Ted Turner and today's billionaire class: Ted didn't "cut costs", reduce risk, price-gouge or merge his way to becoming a billionaire, he actually BUILT companies. A true media titan.

Old video but epic - how a bird pooped on Putin during his speech at the parade 😀
