Medinsky — Putin’s ex-minister & top negotiator on Ukraine — describes a leader who starts wars to stay in power, whose family lives abroad with British passports In Russia, free speech is alive. You can say anything about Putin — as long as you say it about “someone else”

Direct hit on a residential building in Kyiv. An entire section destroyed. This happened at night — when people are asleep, or hiding in basements. Where is the pressure on Russia?

Russia + appeasement – pressure – deterrence = terror, impunity, and death. That’s the equation we’re living with. When there’s no real cost for killing civilians, Russia keeps doing it.

Another horrific night in Kyiv. Putin will use the cover of what’s happening in the ME to intensify his attacks, banking on a distracted and divided West. The Sanctions bill needs to move this week, followed by immediate action around the remaining $3.8b in PDA.

A Ukrainian soldier stayed behind to defend his country. His wife, 3 kids, and their grandmother were killed in Israel by an Iranian missile. They fled to treat a 7 y.o. daughter’s leukemia. Russia. Iran. All they can do is kill civilians.

On June 17, Russia fired 32 missiles and 440 drones. 28 civilians killed in Kyiv. Families buried alive. This is all Russia has left — terror. Ukraine takes the hardest hits and asks for one last push: sanctions that cost the West nothing but will break Russia’s war machine.

5 killed. 19 injured. Kyiv under attack again. Russia claims it strikes only military targets. It claims Ukraine doesn’t exist. It claims to defend history, values, people. But Russia lies — systematically, deliberately, relentlessly. And behind every lie is a missile and death

June 23. Russia hit Kyiv with Shaheds & missiles. 9 killed. June 24. 4 Iskanders struck a train & homes in Dnipro. 17 killed, 174 injured. Then came the call: “restraint from both sides.” Is there a restrained way to bury your child? A diplomatic way to stop genocide?

Ukraine is scaling up net-equipped interceptors to take down Russian UAVs. 40+ enemy drones downed — Mavics, FPVs, even fiber-optic ones. Kamikaze. Recon. Resupply. Anti-armor. Drone-hunters. Drones are the war.
