Just look at this. Russia launched 728 drones at Ukraine tonight β€” the most so far. The attacks are escalating. Russia grows bolder with every delay and every silence.

Morning in Kyiv. No sleep. Air quality is extremely bad. City is covered in thick smoke.

This is Russian terror, aimed at people who chose to stay, resist and fight.

As more Russian Shaheds make it to Kyiv and air defense shakes the night ahead of a possible missile attack, I can’t stop thinking: there was a choice. Give Ukraine what it needs to stop this. Instead, they’re twisting Ukraine’s arm and emboldening Russia.

Sanctions make Russia stronger.
The West is collapsing.
The war is going well.

Am I missing something here?

At the signal, the roofs opened remotely. Dozens of drones launched directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft.

And β€” Russia can’t produce these bombers anymore. The loss is massive.
Nothing like this has ever been done before.

This will be in textbooks.
Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.

Reading about it is one thing. Hearing the blasts outside your window is something else entirely.

We’ll get through this. Russian terror won’t break us.
But to the rest of the world β€” are you ready for what Russia brings if it’s not stopped here?

Brutal night for Kyiv and all of Ukraine.

Russia launched massive combined attack on civilians: ballistic missiles, Shaheds, explosions, fires. The sky was burning. Thousands spent the night in bomb shelters, asking each other in the morning: Did we all survive?

At last β€” the news we’ve all waited for!
First stage of the 1000-for-1000 exchange: 390 Ukrainians are home β€” 270 defenders and 120 civilians, many simply abducted by Russia.

They tried to erase them.
Ukraine brings them back.

May every waiting family get their moment too.

As a Ukrainian, I know what it feels like when safety becomes a luxury. This violence is horrific. I wish they could live freely, happily, and without fear. My sincere condolences

Russia paraded Shahed drones todayβ€”the same ones it uses to bomb Ukrainian cities and kill civilians. This parade wasn’t about WWII or modern weapons. It was about glorifying terror and war crimes.

Never again’ didn’t work for our generation. Russia turned it into β€˜we can do it again.’ Russizm is the new evil and fascist state is trying to steal victory that belongs to all of us. This time, β€˜never again’ must be real.

Year four of taking Kyiv in three daysβ€”and now central Russia’s a no-fly zone.

130+ flights canceled, mobile internet down, airports and roads in chaos.

But hey, isn’t this exactly what you sign up for when you start war?

All night Russian drones terrorized people in Kyiv. Residential buildings hit across the city, two killed.

Russia’s β€œVictory Day” is soaked in blood and war crimes.

And in two days, some will still go to Moscow to shake Putin’s hand. Shame

And now it’s official: for the first time ever, Ukrainian naval drone destroyed warplane.

Magura sea drone struck Russian Su-30 near Novorossiysk β€” where Moscow hides what’s left of its Black Sea fleet.

Estimated loss: $50 million.

No place for Russia in the Black Sea.

Russia is bombing Kharkiv with drones againβ€”right now.
No progress on the battlefield, so Putin returns to what he knows: bombing civilians.
Since March, attacks on Kharkiv have kept growing.
The freer he feels, the higher the civilian cost.

Oh look, Putin announces fake ceasefire for May 8–10, with no intention of holding it. Just another move to buy time and sabotage peace effort.

In front of foreign ambassadors at the site of Russian missile attack, Zelensky outlines Ukraine’s position on peace plan: these are temporarily occupied territories β€” talks can begin only after full unconditional ceasefire.

Russia bombed us all nightβ€”first drones, then missiles. Nine killed in Kyiv, and more might still be under the rubble. The city’s covered in smog. Is this what peace is supposed to look like? How much longer will Russia be allowed to kill us?

Here’s a solid peace plan: US declares Crimea and all four regions Ukrainian, calls Putin war criminal, labels Russia aggressorβ€”Russia pulls out and pays for the damage it caused

Violent Shahed drone attack on Kharkiv right nowβ€”over dozen explosions. Odesa was heavily hit overnight. A friend called it β€œcarpet bombing.” This is Russia’s idea of negotiations.

Putin says Russia will β€œanalyze” moratorium on bombing civilians. Translation: stall, lie, kill more. Russia isn’t seeking peaceβ€”it’s buying time to keep slaughtering.

On Good Friday morning Russia hits Kharkiv with three missiles carrying cluster munitions. One killed, dozens injured. Why is no one talking about holding Russia accountable for war crimes anymore?

β€œI don’t hold Zelenskyy responsible, but I’m not exactly thrilled with the fact that that war started,” Trump says while meeting Meloni.

People are lining up for hours at Kharkiv blood center to donate for Sumy, because it’s the closest option. How can anyone think we’d give up even an inch to Russia?

No, this isn’t a mistake β€” it’s Russia’s calculated strategy to kill and destroy.
