After this horrible night in Kyiv, here is just a brief overview of the current situation. 1Putin is a liar. He lied in 2014 that there were no Russian soldiers in Crimea. He lied in 2022 that he was not starting a full-scale invasion. He is lying in 2025 that he wants peace.…
Thank you for your moral stance, dear @pinapic ! It is not neutrality. It is hypocrisy.
It is unacceptable that European funds are being used to finance the performance of a Kremlin supporter, Valery Gergiev, in the “Un’Estate da RE” festival. Even after three and a half years of war, some still fail to grasp that supporting Putin’s regime, even through cultural…
@ccl_ua calls on the @ZelenskyyUa to veto draft law No. 12414, which was adopted by Parliament today, July 22. The draft law poses a direct threat to the rule of law and human rights 👇 ccl.org.ua/en/claims/the-…
This decision is truly, unbelievably, mind-bogglingly stupid. It happens at the worst possible time given the recent positive shifts in US policy. This gifts a strong narrative to bad actors.
There haven’t been any anti-Zelensky protests since the Russian full-scale invasion of 2022, as the Ukrainian society realized that to survive it must stay united. Today’s move, unless reversed, is likely to change that. Soldiers on the front are particularly infuriated.

Journalist Mzia Amaglobeli has been jailed in #Georgia since January, accused of “attacking police.” Press freedom groups call her arrest politically motivated and demand her release. Journalism is not a crime. @batumelebi_ge Read more ⬇️ channeldraw.org/2025/07/18/jou…
Moscow’s first official reaction to President Trump’s recent statement. “Trump has issued a decorative ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. The belligerent European Union is disappointed. Russia has not noticed it,” Medvedev said.
In one week, Russia has carried out over 1,800 drone attacks, dropped over 1,200 aerial bombs, and fired 83 missiles at Ukraine. Russia is attacking civilians and peaceful cities. Because it cannot win on the battlefield.
He can see again after surviving war injuries. Now he’s asking @Apple to add Ukrainian to Siri. Help Eduard by requesting it through your Apple ID.
She left the U.S. to prove how great life in Russia is, but things didn’t go as planned.
The whole essence of the modern world in one picture. The author of the book "Go Where It's Scary" will not come to the book presentation in Kyiv, because it's scary.
Narges Mohammadi (@nargesfnd) is sounding the alarm—from solitary cells to forced confessions, Iran’s crackdown is escalating. Together, we stand with her and all WHRDs. 🔗 narges.foundation/solitary-cells…
Die russischen Luftangriffe nehmen zu, das Gefühl der Unsicherheit wächst. Mütter haben Angst um ihre Kinder. Mehr Familien denken darüber nach, Kyjiw zu verlassen. Sie fragen sich, warum Europa und die USA nicht mehr tun, um ihr Leben gegen den russischen Terror zu schützen.
‼️Today's @nypost cover: BARBARIC. 1-year-old Dmytryk was playing at his grandmother’s yard when the drone came crashing in, causing shrapnel to pierce his heart and kill the toddler. This is what Russia does. Pure evil. America must stop it.
Russians want more land, “preferably all the way to Spain.”
“This was my whole life. They weren’t just animals. The stable is gone.” russian drones destroyed a stable in Odesa, killing a mare named Camellia and injuring another horse, Sigma. Camellia was 20 y.o. russian strikes claim lives daily. Help stop this: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-nigh…
Oleksandra Matviichuk, Nobel laureate: I spoke to Ukrainian survivors of Russian captivity. They said Russians beat, raped, crushed them in boxes, cut fingers, nails, shocked genitals. One girl wrote with her own blood. A woman said a Russian gouged out her eye with a spoon. 1/
I have received my UAFOODBOX. It is a gift box of delicious products made in Ukraine by small producers. 100% of the profit goes to support children who lost their parents due to the war. Each purchase also helps preserve jobs in small Ukrainian businesses and keep local…
