Russia accused Ukraine of planning an attack on Poland’s critical infrastructure… to blame Russia.

Which, translated from Kremlin-speak, means: “We’re about to do it ourselves and pin it on Ukraine.”

Your Prez's comment on Trump's "paper tiger" post. It's partly 😤 and partly 🤣.

Agent @mariadrutska.bsky.social also gets a mention and consequently has thrown all her perfume out.

Russia launched a missile strike on an agricultural enterprise in Sumy region, injuring 12 people & damaging ~ 30 units of farming equipment.

So not only do Russians want Ukrainians to freeze in winter by destroying our energy infrastructure, they also want us to starve by destroying our harvest.

The fact that we barely talk about this – that Russia struck the Cabinet of Ministers in the center of a European capital with a cruise Iskander-K missile – is pure surrealism.

Just imagine if this was your PM’s office, would you still call it “just another attack”?

Russians launched drones early this morning, and I can already hear them being shot down right here. Something new for the start of the day…

A Zelensky–Putin meeting in Budapest would be a cruel joke. Budapest already gave us one “historic deal” – the Budapest Memorandum. Russia trashed it like yesterday’s garbage. And now Orban, Putin’s loudest cheerleader in the EU, wants his Budapest moment too? Spare us.

“Trump said on the call that while it’s up to Ukraine to decide on what to do with its territory, Putin’s stance hasn’t changed - he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine’s east.” - Bloomberg.

Trump will personally greet Putin in Alaska, with a red carpet, NBC says.

Red from the blood of Ukrainians murdered by this dictator, perhaps?

Shameful. The only welcome for a war criminal should be the click of handcuffs.

They should be nervous, because now is the moment to show strength, unity, and leadership. The world cannot afford a new Yalta 1945.

Just help us finish this war (that we didn’t start) justly and fairly.

We’re of course not against it… if mass killings of civilians and children aren’t reason enough to help us, if defending the basic principles of humanity, the Charter of that place, what’s it called… oh yes, the UN, and stopping further expansion of aggression aren’t reason enough either…

So apparently Trump’s aiming to “end” the war in Ukraine by October 10, the day the Nobel Peace Prize winner is announced. 🏆

Looks like Trump is sending Witkoff to Moscow to make some deal with Putin.
I honestly don’t know whether to be happy or worried.

What do you think, guys?

Kyiv. The sky was on fire. I thought the blast wave would blow out the windows of my room.

Russia isn’t fighting soldiers. They’re terrorizing civilians, again and again.

If you’re just ‘pausing’ military aid to a country being wiped out by dickhead occupiers, while lying that it’s depleting your stockpiles (when it’s clearly not), does that already make you a dickhead yourself, or not yet?
