Ok, this is huge. Two russian shadow fleet tankers were reportedly designated under the most effective hellish sanctions package — right there in the Black Sea.

But yeah "give up now you have no cards."

One of the longest air attacks on Kyiv: it began at 11pm & until 9:30am russia kept launching Kinzhals, cruise, ballistics & drones at us.

By obsessing over how to protect genocidal aggressor's bloody money instead of the victim's survival, Belgium is doing Europe a very dangerous disservice.

Good morning world.

First responders visited 10yo Maksym in the hospital — the boy they rescued during the russian attack on Ternopil. Maksym lived on the 9th floor, but the missile blast threw him down to the 7th. Despite the danger of the building collapsing, rescuers pulled him out using a ladder truck.

Heroes!

The death toll in the russian terrorist strike against Ternopil has risen to 35. The 12yo girl succumbed to her wounds after doctors had hard fought to save her life for 9d. Her mother was killed too and her sister is still in the hospital.

35 innocent souls stolen at once.
35.

Yes, russia is indeed rapidly rebuilding its missile arsenal. The problem is that the "solution" being offered — pausing the war & restoring economic ties with russia, giving it back most of frozen assets, lifting sanctions, rewarding for war crimes — will only accelerate that buildup.

People in cities across the world are protesting against attempts to coerce Ukraine into capitulation.

How did we even end up here — seriously discussing that Ukraine should give away its own land which terrorist state russia tried hard but has failed to conquer for 11 years?

Another horrible night in Ukraine with russia sending 486 "messengers of peace" in the form of ballistic and cruise missiles, and Shahed drones.

russia's vision of a "peace plan" is killing people in their beds — and why would they stop, if they bet on getting amnesty with the US Admin backing?
November 25, 2025 at 8:53 AM
"Occupation isn't peace," "Make russia pay," "Surrender or freeze = Kremlin 'peace' plan," — in cities across the US, UK, and Canada, people have taken to the streets, protesting against any deal that would coerce Ukraine into surrender.

Thanks for your solidarity! Your voice matters.

A million times spot on.

On the Holodomor Commemoration Day, spare a thought for all innocent Ukrainian victims of the Soviet-made famine.

Impunity is never a path towards peace. It's a highway to violence, slaughter and barbarism.
November 22, 2025 at 4:33 PM
The Soviet-made famine #Holodomor in 1932-33 claimed lives of 4 to 7mln Ukrainians.

In almost a century, russia intends again to kill millions of us by repressions in occupation, war, freezing, or attacking nuclear power plants.

And today, Trump wants to reward russia for this ongoing genocide.
November 22, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Norway frontloads extra 1,2b $ for Ukraine in military aid this year, increasing its total 2025 contribution to 10b $.

This is the best possible response to any capitulation pressure.

Europe as a whole must follow this example asap.

Do you love Norway just as I do?
November 22, 2025 at 10:51 AM
Europe's strongest response — and a powerful card it has — is to use frozen russian assets for Ukraine. Otherwise, sooner than later, those assets will end up feeding the russian war machine.

Now it's time to adopt the Reparation Loan.
November 22, 2025 at 10:22 AM
russian occupation is not peace.
November 21, 2025 at 6:10 PM
3 days of clearing but rescuers still can't pull all the bodies from the rubble of the home russia bombed in Ternopil. Meanwhile, the US, once our great inspiration and beacon of democracy, is aggressively pushing Ukraine's capitulation.

I wish this was just a nightmare we could wake up from.
November 21, 2025 at 8:03 AM
On the Int'l Children's Day spare a thought for the kids whose lives russian war of aggression has claimed.

Are your leaders doing enough to help Ukraine protect our children? Will your own kids be safe if russia is rewarded with the victory over Ukraine? Think about it today.

Furthermore, War Monitor UA analysis of recorded footage shows that immediately before impact, the Kh-101 released dipole counter-radar decoys used to complicate air-defence targeting. This further confirms that the strike was a deliberate and pre-planned terrorist attack on civilians.
November 19, 2025 at 5:17 PM
As of now, 25 murdered.
80 injured, including 14 children.

People were sleeping at home — in what they believed was a safe place, somewhere in the middle of a residential district in the western city of Ternopil.

My heart bleeds in agony.

Everyone who supports russia has our blood on their hands.
November 19, 2025 at 5:10 PM
I just don't understand this world anymore.
November 19, 2025 at 11:06 AM
Last night, the russians erased an ordinary residential house in the ordinary residential area of Ternopil, a city of 225k ppl in the west of the country. Another high-rise building was set on fire.

And the free world simply observes this f*cking 9/11 russian roulette. I feel so exhausted.

16% of prisoners of war held captive by Ukraine are Ukrainians mobilized by russia in occupied lands, Dmytro Usov of the POW Coordination HQs informed.

When Belgian govt thinks that the largest threat to them is russian lawsuits or African investors leaving, they must do an urgent reality check.

WOW! Slovak students walked out of a meeting with Fico after he criticized the EU's support for Ukraine. When the students defended the need to aid Ukraine's existential defence, Fico told them they should "go fight there" instead.

What a strong moral compass — and the guts of these youngsters.
November 14, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Multiple waves of russian drones encircle Kyiv, with Kinzhals and cruise missiles aiming to cripple Ukraine's energy system right now.

russia commits a crime against humanity aiming to freeze the entire Ukrainian nation into capitulation — that's "peace" brought by red carpet summits.
