The sanctioned Russia-flagged vessel Sv. Nikolay quietly docked at the Algerian port of Anaba near the coal terminal, waiting to be unloaded; Kyiv was able to get the White House to agree not to consider past military aid as part of the minerals deal; and more.

Thank you, I’ll try. It’s just too many social media platforms, im trying to post on threads and Instagram as well

She tried to expose Russia’s brutal detention system — and ended up dead A consortium of international journalists continued the work of Viktoriia Roshchyna, who was investigating reports of torture and detention of Ukrainian civilians in occupied Ukraine.

Here’s the link to the investigation that was published in different media outlets www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

This is what Russians do to Ukrainians. And believe me — they’ll do it again and again if they get the chance. Because it’s not just some vague political hatred. They hate every single Ukrainian who stands up for his/her country — in any way, every day.

There are abrasions, bruises all over, a broken rib, and possible signs of electric shocks, according to the Prosecutor General’s Office. There are signs of an autopsy carried out in Russia. Investigators said the body was missing the brain, eyeballs, and part of her trachea.

It was painful to learn that Russians killed Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna in captivity. But what's beyond horrifying is how they did it.
Her body was returned to Ukraine showing signs of torture — and missing some organs, the group of Ukrainian and international reporters investigated.

Thank you! I’ll try to record more and improve the quality

The easiest way to end this war would be to pressure Russia to pull its troops out of Ukraine, kick the invader out. But based on their actions, the Trump administration seems to want to end the war on Russia’s terms, ironically setting the stage for World War III.

YouTube video by Iryna Matviyishyn Trump Allies Call for Zelensky to Resign | Reaction from Ukraine

My first YouTube video is a reaction to US officials suggesting Zelensky to resign

What are these colonial demands? Unlike in Russia, Ukrainians have elected their president in fair elections, and it’s up to them to decide when to replace him. Why not ask Putin to resign over his invasions and war crimes?

"We need a leader that can deal with us, eventually, and deal with the Russians and end this war,” National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said.

By asking Zelensky to resign, it looks like US officials aren't even hiding the fact that they spit on Ukrainians and their votes. Where does this come from? Russia. Putin is still dreaming that he can install his puppet in Ukraine.

Fragments of a Russian drone with an explosive device were found near the Moldova border in Romania.

It was safely detonated on-site to protect the local population, the Romanian Ministry of Defense said on March 1.

Last January, Russia captured 325 km² of Ukrainian land — larger than the territory of Malta.

Just think about it.
Putin doesn’t want peace. He wants Ukraine.

In 2024 alone, Russia seized 3,600 km² of Ukrainian territory. This is more than the size of Rhode Island or Luxembourg + Monaco.
In February, Russia took control of 191 km² of Ukrainian territory — more than the entire territory of Liechtenstein.

There’s no better way to support Ukraine now than donating to its defense. My brother has been struggling to close his fundraising for the 1st assault battalion (Da Vinci), and he’d be grateful for each cent. Link below 🌻

Neither Trump nor Putin have learned from history or understood who Ukrainians are. They don’t accept humiliation; they choose dignity and freedom over being used, bullied, enslaved, or living in disgrace. They can’t just give up on what generations have fought for in Ukraine.

It’s been two hours I hear the shooting of air defense, and just now literally a drone buzzing over our building. I wish Trump representatives spent a few nights here, in Kyiv, without proper sleep, wondering if it hits you today or not, to feel how «peace loving» Russia is

Russia attacks Kyiv literally every night, and I have a feeling that it even intensified its attacks since Trump synchronized his voice with Putin. Here’s the sound of our air defense and me hiding in the bathroom because it was really loud. I hear the drone from my room.

Like it or not, that’s how the 2004 revolution won, how they fought a pro-Russian dictatorship in 2014, and how they’re still fighting now, no matter what gets in their way

One thing that both Putin and Trump still don’t get about Ukrainians is that the harder you push and bully them, the quicker they’ll come together and stand up to you— and most likely hit back.

This week, as we near the 3rd anniversary of Russia's full-scale aggression on 🇺🇦 #Ukraine, we're issuing 3 conversations with as many prominent Ukrainian figures, all illustrated by Ukrainian cartoonist Vladimir Kazanevsky: voxeurop.eu/en/andrey-ku...

The good thing about Putin’s ideologists and puppets is that they’re not very smart to be subtle, and mostly, openly speak about Russia’s intentions. So, dear Europeans, check what they say, and do the opposite

Putin has such «a good will », as Trump said, to end the war that he bombed Kyiv with ballistic missiles at 4:30 am again. I woke up to heavy explosions and ran straight to the shelter outside in -10. There are killed and injured, including a 9 y.o. girl. What a step towards a peace deal, indeed

When you think Russian opposition media isn't worth your time, but then they produce this, exploiting images of destruction and grief caused by Russia in Ukraine for their own purposes… That’s how low they can go
