🚨 BREAKING: Ukrainian air defense downs 309 drones as Russia attacks several cities overnight.

A woman was killed in Zaporizhzhia and at least six others were injured across Dnipro and Cherkasy during an overnight assault on April 15, which saw Russian forces launch three missiles and 324 drones.

Pašas Krievijas institūciju vērtējumā rietumvalstu sankcijas tai rada un turpinās radīt vairākus simtus miljardu ASV dolāru lielus zaudējumus, liecina Satversmes aizsardzības biroja (SAB) operatīvā informācija

Orbāns zaudē vēlēšanas, opozīcija ar konstitūcionālu vairākumu. Nebūs viegli pat ar šādu vairākumu, jo korumpētā sistēma ir kā augonis ar metastāzēm itvisur.

🔴 BREAKING: Russia heavily shelled the city center of Kramatorsk, a frontline city in the Donetsk region, with four guided aerial bombs.

This is the true face of the Russian “Easter truce”.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

If you think a Trump electoral false flag terror incident is impossible, keep in mind that Vance arrives in Hungary tomorrow — right in the middle of Orbán’s electoral false flag terror operation, which Vance will presumably endorse.

A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Russian-occupied Oleshky, Kherson region.

A Russian war crime on a massive scale. Those poor people...

Russia is effectively keeping the city under blockade: without fuel, electricity, medicine, and food

Today marks 1,500 days of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.

What was supposed to be “KYIV IN 3 DAYS” has become 1,500 DAYS of resistance — and a long, costly failure for Moscow.

Ukraine continues to fight for its land, its freedom, and the future of Europe.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

🇺🇦 NATO needs Ukraine.
🇺🇦 Whatever treaty organisation replaces NATO needs Ukraine.
🇺🇦 What Ukraine had achieved since the Russian invasion deserves a chapter all of its own in the history of war!

This is a very good and important article that deserves to be read in full, not just skimmed for a single quote.

My thanks to the author, Simon Shuster, and Armin Papperger, both long-standing and steadfast friends of Ukraine⤵️

Russian propagandist Solovyev complains that the demand for drones at the front is "insane," but there is no money for drone production, nor are there any orders.

Good episode, by the way. I liked it.

Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck a plant in Russia’s Bryansk that produces components for missiles — Zelensky

“Syrsky told me the operation was successful — a Bryansk plant that manufactured control systems for all types of Russian missiles was hit.”

On #InternationalWomensDay, I'm thinking of my friend Katsiaryna Andreeva. Arrested while reporting live in 2020, she was sentenced to 8 years in prison in #Belarus. I'm calling for a campaign of solidarity to help secure her release.

Thank you, dear colleagues from the EESC, for the video.

Let this sink in.
Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid.

Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.

Donald might have to ask the guy he said had no cards for help shooting down Iranian drones that they can't currently stop.

Be interesting to see what Zelensky demands in return.

Ukrainian military experience of the modern war and defense is priceless today.

Ukraine knows all about Iranian drones and taking them down.
Ukraine has interceptor drones, production technologies.
Ukraine knows so much about modern-day air defense.
