Russian MFA: Any UK military sites in Ukraine or elsewhere could face retaliation if Ukraine uses British weapons in Russia. Seriously? What about all those Russian terrorist attacks and sabotage across Europe? Or do they just not count?

Russian threats of tactical nuclear weapons exercises are nothing but blackmail. Exhausting all their other options, it's their last-ditch effort. Acting to not provoke Putin isn't the answer; strong and coordinated action is.

Russia targeted Monachynivka village near Kupyansk with a deadly 1.5-ton aerial bomb, leveling the whole street. It's the first time such weapons were used. Elderly woman killed. FAB was equipped with a gliding module allowing it to maneuver post-launch.

This is a friend's home in downtown Kharkiv after Russian gliding bomb landed nearby. 'Luckily, no one was home, but the windows and balcony door are blown out'. This is what 'luck' looks like in Ukraine

Facing our third Easter in this new reality, it's still hard to accept. But we hold onto hope: one day, good will triumph over evil, life over death. Wishing us all strength, faith, and perseverance. Christ is Risen!

Russia hits Kharkiv again, fourth time today. They're not just bombing us; they're trying to break people’s resilience.

Second attack on Kharkiv today. Russia's employing a new tactic, dropping gliding bombs like the UMPB D-30SN in residential areas in broad daylight to instill fear and terrify residents. At least one woman killed

Random snapshots from Kharkiv. It's changed so much, but it's become even more beloved. Those who stay in the city are holding on tightly.

Russian terrorists seem to have a special plan for Odesa and Kharkiv, calling it the 'Russian world.' If they can't get it, they target all they can reach.

Just appalling: Russia's strike on recreational zone in Odesa with Iskander missile packed with cluster munitions. Designed to kill personnel, its bomblets blanket areas as large as a football stadium. 5 people were killed in this attack.

“Statements from Russian establishment figures on the need to destroy and depopulate Kharkiv 🇺🇦 have been accompanied by a steady stream of similar chatter on social media.” ⁦Maria Avdeeva⁩ atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

Russia strikes again in Kharkiv's city center with gliding bombs, the second assault in a row in daylight. At least one killed and several injuries. This is pure intimidation, with zero military purpose

Carlson gives a whole new meaning to the term 'academic philosopher' with Dugin. His fascist ideology forms the core of the 'Russian world' concept Putin employs to justify Russia's bloody war.

Putin's strategy to depopulate Kharkiv extends beyond missiles and drones. Russia’s unleashed information operation aimed to fuel panic and uncertainty. Grateful to Atlantic Council for the opportunity to highlight Kharkiv's situation in my piece.
