Volodymyr Androshchuk, Ukrainian track and field athlete, member of the national team, died in combat near Bakhmut.

RIP, Volodymyr.

We keep losing our best people.

NEW: UK announces its 'most significant package of combat power to date' for Ukraine, Defence Secretary Rt. Hon Ben Wallace MP says.
This includes:
- A squadron of Challenger 2 tanks
- 8 x AS90 guns + more on various stages of readiness
- 100s more armoured vehicles, including Bulldog

The CCP no longer even pretends that Hong Kong is the open city it once was as it fills key positions with loyal stooges of its totalitarian regime. Investors and European leaders should finally pay attention

The bodies of 40 dead, including 3 children, were found at the house in Dnipro destroyed by a russian missile.
How many Ukrainians must be killed by the terrorist state before the world finally understands that that inaction and hesitancy is equivalent to siding with the killer?

Mom Oksana and her daughters Leila and Mykhaylyna lived on the 5th floor of the ruined building in Dnipro.

Their relatives kept hoping they survived but Russian rocket killed them.

RIP.

German leftist: “For NATO-Ukraine you are turning Germany into ruins?!?”

The same day, Dnipro in Ukraine was bombed to actual ruins.

There’s a German word for this Wohlstandsverwahrlosung - living in such prosperity you lose grip on reality

⚡️Politico: France, Poland push Germany to hand over Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

Paris is putting pressure on Germany to agree to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine ahead of a Franco-German summit on Jan. 22, Politico reported, citing an unnamed French official.

The situation towards the North east of Bakhmut has deteriorated.

In general the situation in Soledar is difficult.

Update from the Ukrainian frontline 🇺🇦

Internationalism lives on! The fight against fascism is an eternal struggle but we must always remember - “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”

Yaroslav, 13, from Kherson region, and his siste, was heavily wounded yesterday from a Russian attack.

In the first minutes of 2023 Russia struck Kherson hospital where Yaroslav was in ICU.

He was evacuated to Mykolaiv. Doctors are fighting for his life right now.

Last Nite in #HongKong , the flame isn't dead yet

A New Years Eve message from the frontline in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Happy new year everyone! ♥️ Its time for the West to put together a 'Victory package' for Ukraine! Lets pull out all the stops & end this war now!
Enjoy tonight, but tomorrow, let the New Year bring greater solidarity! 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Do you support this? Doing strikes on all of Ukraine 🇺🇦 minutes after they celebrated New Year. What was the military purpose of doing strikes immediately after New Year started?

Everyone else on Earth is celebrating New Year while Ukrainians are getting bombed. RUSSIA IS EVIL🔥

Wow, I really thought I was going to die today. At least 10 explosions, nearby street, VERY loud. I was in the bomb shelter but the walls were shaking, children were crying.

Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said that frosty 🇺🇦-🇭🇺 relations won't improve as long as PM Orbán is leading Hungary. He also revealed that the only EU foreign minister who didn't meet him since February 24 is Hungary's Péter Szijjártó. Stunning.

May 2023 be a better year

This time, Russia’s mass missile attack is deliberately targeting residential areas, not even our energy infrastructure. War criminal Putin “celebrates” New Year by killing people. Russia must be kicked out of its UN Security Council seat which it has always occupied illegally.

⚡️ Update: At least 1 killed, 20 wounded in Kyiv by Russia’s latest missile strike.

The wounded victims are receiving medical care, the local authorities said, adding that one of them is in an “extremely difficult” condition.

⚡️Russia’s Dec 31 mass missile attack heavily damaged Alfavito hotel, not far from downtown Kyiv. At least one person was injured on the site.

The landmark Palace Ukraine concert hall, located nearby, was also damaged.
