Around this time of year, I always remember this picture of the Kharkiv railway station four years ago and the people trying to evacuate.

​It was the first few weeks of the Russian full-scale invasion. Our air defense wasn't properly established yet, and Russian bombers were free to drop air bombs.

Legendary operations like “Spiderweb” don’t just hit Russian targets. They inspire a generation to serve Ukraine

17–19yo cadets of the SSU Academy — preparing to fight the war most people never see

They are training to protect Ukraine not only on the battlefield, but in the shadows.

When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.

New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination.

His reason is shocking.

Man, that would be absolutely insane. Imagine if Iran decided to help Russia and its attack drones hit Ukrainian cities every night.

Kyiv oblast today - the feeling that you cheated death.

A 19 year old girl was sleeping in this home in Vasylkiv (SW of Kyiv city) when a missile smashed into the house. Both the teenager and her mother escaped unharmed, and the car still starts too!

TRUMP TO NBC: "The last person we need help from is Zelenskyy."

He likes to criticize the "hate" between Putin and Zelenskyy, yet his own rhetoric toward Zelenskyy feels remarkably hateful.

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

The DOJ released documents on 3/6 revealing the FBI interviewed a woman who alleged she was sexually abused by Trump, Epstein, & others when she was just 13-years old.

THEY KNEW IT! Every perpetrator, every enabler & all who covered up the truth need consequences.

Journalists are banned from the White House for asking Trump tough questions.

Meanwhile in Kyiv I interviewed President Zelenskyy with zero restrictions.

Funny how the “dictatorship” still lets reporters ask anything.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
