Centrenergo, among the largest energy companies in Ukraine, says 100% of its generation capacity is destroyed following the recent attacks.

Any advise from the U.S. on how to fight that with no air defense, no munition, and not hitting Russia back?

Crossing the bridge and watching how Kyiv is hit by ballistic missiles is one hell of a Monday morning. Hope everyone is safe.

The capital was hit seconds after an air raid alert was sounded, meaning that this was something advanced that was used.

So basically, the U.S. warned Russia, despite everything, about a planned attack. Kremlin said no thank you. Their security forces did nothing.

A mass shooting happens, ISIS takes responsibility, and now Putin tries to squeeze it into his narrative and blame Ukraine.

Over the past two days, Ukraine witnessed among the two heaviest missile and drone attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion.

While the U.S. is denying to provide Ukraine with basically anything, Russia’s military-industrial complex is doing absolutely fine.

Basically the US asked Ukraine to lose and die a bit faster so that the oil prices won’t spike?

For global audiences watching Moscow’s tightly-choreographed “election-style event” this weekend, Russia appears to be a country transformed – a militarized society where dissent is simply no longer tolerated. kyivindependent.com/whether-afraid…

Anyone can explain me why “liberal” Russians showed up to vote in sham elections at noon?

Like what was the point? Genuinely curious.

“We have one goal - Russia cannot and must not win,” Macron says.

I love Macron 2.0.

Now let’s see some actions to back the very powerful messaging.

The French authorities have been examining the idea of whether to send 'boots on the ground' into Ukraine since June 2023 'in the greatest secrecy,' Le Monde reported on March 14.

Zelensky outplayed Zaluzhnyi, if not killing, then definitely lowering the general’s political standing.

Appointing him ambassador to the UK & discharging him as a man “unfit for military service” is brutal.

Yet, it might be that the president was the only one playing politics.

I really enjoy the new Macron. It took him two years, but he’s finally saying all the right things.

The problem is that, for a man who desperately wants to lead Europe, he rarely delivers.

Let’s see if that changes as well.

The fact that the White House wanted to pair First Lady Olena Zelenska with Yulia Navalnaya at the State of the Union (according to WP) shows that two years in, they still don’t understand Ukraine.

Donetsk ten years ago.

A month later it would be occupied by Russia and its proxies. It remained under Russian occupation ever since.

The eldest of five children killed by the latest attack in Odesa.

I can’t find it in me to sympathize with the “brave” Russians lining for Navalny. If they really were brave, there would have been no Putin, no war, and this child would have woken up today.

My piece for The Kyiv Independent on the dangers Transnistria pose to Moldova and Ukraine. 'If a pro-Russian government comes to Chisinau, that would be a catastrophe for Ukrainians because it would open a second front,' an expert told me. Read more: kyivindependent.com/can-transnistr…
