Security expert covering invasion from day one. Countering Russian disinformation since 2014 🇺🇦
Dobropillia today. Russia dropped a 500-kg glide bomb on a crowded shopping center. Road to Kramatorsk is now closed to civilians after constant FPVs attacks. The Russian plague spreads, turning everything it touches into ruin.
Yellow are Shaheds Blue — Kinzhal missiles Red — other missiles A total of 450. There are no safe places in Ukraine.

Kyiv, July 21, 2025 The war isn’t over. Russia is hitting harder. This isn’t the frontline — it’s a European capital.
This was Ukraine I knew. Endless fields everywhere you looked. Then Russia came to destroy, steal, rewrite it. I’ll never forgive that.
Full bot invasion under my post today — just because I wrote Kharkiv the right way. Must’ve been a fresh Kremlin memo. So yes, once again: it’s Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa. Cry harder. These names aren’t yours. 🇺🇦
This is why Russia will never win. Kids laughing and splashing in a Kharkiv fountain — in a city they’ve bombed nonstop since 2022.

Feel the evering vibe of Kharkiv. And they think they can scare us?
Meet our new Prime Minister: Yulia Svyrydenko. Smart, experienced, and yes — a woman in charge. 🇺🇦
Keith Kellogg’s visit may have deterred strikes on Kyiv — but not on the rest of Ukraine. Last night, Russia launched 12 Shahed drones at a delivery company in Dnipro, destroying it completely and killing a driver. No city is safe in Ukraine.

Does anyone here still think Russia will stop when it sees a Western logo? This was a deliberate strike. From three directions. Injuring people. Still convinced Putin will stop at your country’s border?

Look at Ukraine now. How can anyone still pretend Putin is a rational actor you can make deals with?

Ukrainian Statehood Day. Over a thousand years of history since Kyivan Rus. Russia tried to erase us. We came back stronger. Today, we fight with strength, allies by our side, and a voice that won’t be silenced. Ukraine will prevail. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦 📸 Oleksandr Osipov

In Tsupivka near Kharkiv, local hunters have a new target: Russian drones. Russians are using sneaky tactic—landing FPVs near roads and waiting. When a car appears, drone lifts off and strikes, often civilians. Here, locals spot such “sleeper” drone and destroy it. 🎥…
Just wow. The Boryviter mosaic — badly damaged in Mariupol, restored in Kyiv — now stands in Trafalgar Square. Unveiled by @usykaa and @richardbranson ahead of Usyk’s fight at Wembley. This falcon is Ukraine: rising strong from the ashes.


“My conversations with him are always very pleasant. And then missiles fly into Kyiv that night.” The thing is, Putin was never negotiating. That was always the strategy — use talks to buy time, distract, and grab more.
Tired of narratives that paint Russians as victims. They’re not. Russia chose war. Ukrainians didn’t. Stop rewriting history to comfort the aggressor.

Barely slept after several nights of Russian bombardment, but couldn’t miss the farmer’s market. The berries are just too good. Maybe that’s our superpower here in Ukraine: we keep choosing life. 💛💙

When your country borders Russia, you stay ready for anything — even your president runs undercover. Well played, @alexstubb. 👏🏻
