A Ukrainian soldier evacuates a little girl to a safe place.

This girl, and millions of Ukrainian children, are the reason why we fight. For their sake, we want a just and lasting peace.

1/ Sick and wounded Russian soldiers have been held for months in an open-air pit in the ground to 'remotivate' them, according to two military paramedics. They say that their regiment's deputy political officer is removing soldiers from hospital and imprisoning them. ⬇️

Russian money can often be found in extremist political parties in the EU, UK and other "enemies"

Now, an important update from @bylinetimes.bsky.social on Farage's links to, and knowledge of, the Reform bigwig who admitted taking bribes from Moscow.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

It's a year today since Russia captured the town of Vuhledar in Donetsk region.

Let's have a look at how much life has improved under occupation for the residents.

Here we have the church service, the recreational facilities and the last two are from the town hall.

Who can have imagined, even just 2 years ago, the disgusting endemic we now face with FPV strikes

The so called "drone safari" games were first practised by Russians in Kherson region, picking off civilians for 'fun'

The guys at Tochnyi produced a time-map of attacks

A 12 year old girl has been killed in the Russian attack on Kyiv.

Another woman also died in the apartment block in Solomianskyi district.

10 others are also injured but numbers will probably rise.

Earlier I wrote that a hospital in Kyiv has been hit.

Two of the deaths came in this building, the Institute of Cardiology.

1/ Tired, depressed, and angry Russian soldiers mobilised in 2022 have been reflecting on their three years at war. "I feel like I'm in The Hunger Games", one remarks. Others speculate that the Russian government wants to exterminate ethnic Russians. ⬇️

1/ Three years on from their mobilisation, surviving Russian 'mobiks' have been speaking of their despair and hopelessness at being forced to serve indefinitely in an increasingly lethal war. "We're not considered human beings; meat shouldn't have an opinion," says one. ⬇️

Perhaps my favourite part of his speech in New York was this. A jibe at Putin and Xi.

Day 300 of #GeorgiaProtests: The Ivanishvili regime has done everything to crush peaceful protest in Georgia: jailing nearly all opposition leaders, arresting & torturing protesters, shrinking civic space, unleashing unprecedented repression against critical citizens, launching baseless legal cases.

Tonight another double-tap attack on Ukraine emergency workers.

This time in Chernihiv region, police officers + medics came under repeated fire at the site of a previous drone crash they were called to.

The police car and ambulance were damaged, but no further injuries occurred.

Congressman Wilson is a true freedom-fighter. I’m fascinated by, and so grateful for, his unwavering support in our fight for freedom.

Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc.bsky.social · 22d

WATCH!! Congressman Wilson hails 'historic step' as Congress passes amendment to deny recognition of illegitimate Georgian Dream regime.

The move is a show of 'love and affection' for the Georgian people, says Wilson, and an affirmation of their desire for 'fairness and freedom'.

Local officials in Dnipro say the ballistic missile contained cluster munitions and exploded just before impact, for maximum harm to civilians.

Most of the victims were in this apartment block where one person died and 26 were injured.

I need to mark the 86th anniversary of Russia (USSR) invading Poland "to protect Slavic brothers"

Of course, it really came as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the Nazis, slicing up Poland

Moscow tries to whitewash the 1939 invasion, pretending WWII started in 1941
