Six killed in Russian bombardment on Kharkiv, including 18-year-old Nika, a talented artist with big dreams, and 14-year-old Sofia. 97 injured, 22 of them kids. This is the cost Ukraine pays while waiting for the ban to be lifted, as deadly bombs keep falling.

Can anyone provide a credible reason why Ukraine can’t use Western-supplied weapons to defend itself and stop fighter jets from launching 500-kilo bombs on residential buildings in Kharkiv and other cities? Discussed why this is crucial on CNN.

No, it's not Ukraine—it's Moscow region. Seems this game has two players. Will Russia now think twice before attacking Ukraine again?

This is the 'military convoy' Russia’s bragging about hitting in Sumy with two Iskander missiles. In reality, grain trailers parked overnight. One driver killed, four injured.

Eight loud explosions just rocked Kharkiv. Civil infrastructure is damaged, and there are casualties. Details are still coming in. Alert of more incoming strikes

Kharkiv was just hit by a dozen of Iskander missiles and S-300s, which Ukraine can't intercept. Multiple strikes across the city, including a sports facility and residential areas. This is the largest ballistic attack on Kharkiv yet—the city is basically an open target.

Can you imagine if this were happening in another European city with 1.5 million people instead of Kharkiv? And what would the world’s reaction be?

Russia is stealing more than just our people and territories—it’s taking our memories too. Residents of Pokrovsk are leaving, unsure if they’ll ever return. Read about what it’s like in Pokrovsk now.

On the first day of school in Ukraine, Russia launched another massive attack. Children woke up and headed to corridors and shelters as over twenty missiles were shot down over Kyiv. Kharkiv again came under attack—for the seventh day in a row.

On their first day of school, after singing 🇺🇦 anthem, kids in Zaporizhzhia rush to their new underground bomb shelter classrooms as air raid alert sounds. They’ll spend the rest of the day there, but for many, it’s safer and better than having homeschool in front of screens

A series of loud explosions just rocked Kharkiv and Dnipro. Russia started the day with missile attacks and is back to its old ways again.

Today, paramedic Yevhen passed away in the hospital. He was severely injured while rushing to help victims of Russian attack on Kharkiv, and got under double-tap strike by Iskander missile. The whole community is devastated. RIP brave soul 💔

Absolutely devastating news from Poltava: at least 47 killed, more than 200 wounded. The grief is overwhelming. A three-day mourning declared in Poltava, and all of Ukraine mourns with them.

I recently took this photo in Poltava. It’s heartbreaking to think how many new flags will be added with today’s date. As of now, 51 killed and over 270 injured. Total pain

I’ve lost count of how many kids and adults have been killed. Every night, we wake up to more missiles hitting another Ukrainian city. This time, it was Lviv. Three killed, dozens injured. Everyone in Ukraine is a target unless we get more help and the right to strike back.

It’s hard to breathe today. These beautiful souls—Yevhenia, Yaryna, Daria, and Emilia Bazylevych—were killed by Russia in Lviv. And no, it’s not just Putin; it’s every Russian assembling Kinzhal missiles, launching them at sleeping cities, supporting the war, and staying silent.

Russia’s escalation grows day by day. The air raid in Kyiv started at 11:29 PM and has been going on for over 7 hours. Shahed drones are hovering above our heads

Watching 14th UAS Regiment launch their big birds at night is hard to put into words. Their hidden work is crucial. Each drone strike deals a blow to Russian troops, who can’t hide from watchful eyes. Every deep strike saves lives and stops Russia before it attacks.
