I'm not distracted by monuments to a narcissist.

Result: they raised enough to fund 21 Sky Sentinels (the initial goal was to build 10!)

Images of russian oil refineries arranged on a bingo-card-like grid. Refineries that have been struck by Ukrainian missiles are shown as they appeared after the strike, on fire with billowing smoke. A big red X marks the ones that were hit. As of the date this image was made last year, 35 of the 42 oil refineries or military equipment factories had been damaged by Ukrainian defense forces.

Reminder of heartwarming strikes on russian oil refineries. The intent is so russia has less oil to export, NOT to freeze russian civilians in their homes. Russian oil exports fund the genocide in Ukraine. Russian attacks on Ukrainian oil, gas, electric, and water infrastructure are pure terrorism.

Image of "Volodymyr card" depicting President Zelenskyy's face inside a heart shape. The card reads, "No matter how freezing it is outside, your love warms me up more than a burning russian refinery. Happy Valentine's Day."

Donate $14 to Ukrainian defense, get 7 "Volodymyr cards" by email. I personalize the cards & send them to friends who donated to Ukraine when I asked them to. Love sending to single friends who don't have a lover on V-day, to let them know that I love them! u24.gov.ua/valentines-day-greetings-2026

Sky Sentinel: fundraiser for peaceful nights We’re raising $1,500,000 for 10 AI-controlled air defense turrets that will protect Ukrainians from russian attacks.

Jan. 25 is Pres. Zelenskyy's birthday.

To honor him, I donated to Sky Sentinel. Similar to a turret on a tank, it is mounted on buildings to shoot down hundreds of russian drones & missiles attacking civilians daily in Kyiv & other cities. kyivpost.com/analysis/53546

Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines often need items you'd never think of as war equipment. Example, a soldier I follow is now raising money for a trailer to haul military cars away from the front lines for repair after they've been attacked by drones. Details: www.instagram.com/johnobject/p...

Today's incident: Trump gives Pres. Zelenskyy an ultimatum to sign a bad agreement or lose access to American intelligence & weapons sales.
My only hope is that the many pro-Ukraine Republicans in Congress will join with Democrats to DO something (besides talking) to help Ukraine and defeat Russia.

The PETRUNELIA KOZAK Challenge:
I often pester my friends in the USA to donate to fundraisers for Ukrainian defense, now that our gov't has stopped sending aid. Inspired by Petrunelia Kozak, I pledge to increase my 2025 donations to $500. Hope you will donate something, too!

Just what Putin loves to hear, that Ukraine's actions are "offensive" (Putin will say that Russia is just being "defensive.") With Trump is about to meet with Zelenskyy, Putin had to call Trump today to flatter him RE: the Gaza-Israel peace agreement. Expect more delays on any ceasefire in Ukraine.

How to tell that the GOP is scared that MAGA people will join us in the streets? Mike Johnson calls it the "Hate America protest."

This happened in Chicago yesterday.
I suppose we are lucky that ICE officials are not armed and do not shoot at suspected immigrants. They do, however, bash in car windows and injure suspects by dragging them. This food delivery guy was lucky to escape. Adrenaline, wow.

Images of John Object's Instagram stories about his fundraiser to purchase a refurbished armored bank van for his former brigade. His PayPal address, ohnobject@gmail.com, is listed below a photo of the van. He hopes to raise a little more cash to get some winter tires and an oil change for the vehicle.

I donate to large & small fundraisers, mostly for Ukrainian defense. Apologies to the restaurants where I used to dine. Love you, but my spare $$ now go to Ukr.

John Object's fundraiser is winding down. Refurbished *armored* bank vans now transport troops instead of cash. Send $5 to help buy tires!

ALLIES OF STEEL: Fundraiser for lifesaving ground robots. Together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, we are launching a fundraiser for ground robotic platforms that protect humans.

For historical context, please read this: phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-harpin...
This is why I send donations to Ukraine. By funding a robot to replace a soldier, you are literally saving someone's life.

Damaged Russian bombers on the tarmac after the surprise drone attack by Ukraine.

In June, Ukraine sent truckloads of drones INTO Russia via shipping containers to damage/destroy 40 bombers that are used to drop missiles on Ukrainian cities. This brilliant action shows Ukraine's strategy of using more tech & less soldiers in the fight.

I doubt he's stupid or nihilistic enough to drop a nuke in Europe.

Need more sanctions to crush him + Ukraine's ongoing work destroying/damaging Russian oil depots & refineries. If Putin's economy fails, Russians could turn on him. (I wish) October Revolution 2.0? Unless China & India save his ass.

You saw my earlier post about Russians wishing to nuke Poland?

Ukrainians alert us to what Russians *really* think. Lately I've been reading Russian press myself. They say a lot of kooky things about Ukraine, as if there's a MAGA-like movement in Russia. CYCP, or MURA: Make Ukraine Russian Again.

Headline: NO ONE SHOULD REMAIN ALIVE IN UKRAINE

From RIA Novosti, a Russia-owned news outlet:
ria.ru/20250730/ukr...

The article discusses how Ukraine is a testing ground for western military technology. Summary: because Ukrainians are willing to die defending their country, they SHOULD all die. 🤮

Why do some Russians favor nuking Poland, but not Ukraine?

The post below was viewed by over 100,000 (presumably, mostly other Russians.) Does he think that nuking Poland won't harm Ukraine's agriculture or ecosystem?

Just more evidence of how Russians view their war against Ukraine.

Eternal Memory 🕯

Image is a cartoon showing a large dam labeled "Ukraine" that is preventing a large body of water labeled "Russia" from flooding the lands below the dam. These lands are labeled "Europe". The dam is cracking and appears to be in danger of breaking.

After recent Russian airspace intrusions over Estonia, Romania and Poland, it's time to post again the image below.

One of the 19 Russian drones flying over Poland damaged a Polish home.

I imagine there will be human casualties soon.

Dear Europe, please stop buying Russian fossil fuel products!

Marco asked if there's a bingo reward.
One reward is LESS oil sales for Ruzzia, which funds their war on Ukraine. The beautiful reward for bombing drone factories & airplane plants is that less Ukrainians are murdered by Ruzzian drones & ballistic missiles. Must add the image below to a bingo card.

"Russia Oil Refinery Bingo Card" shows oil refineries and weapons factories in Russia that have been damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes.

The last version I saw of the bingo card had an "X" in almost every square. This English-language version was posted in March 2025. I think we need a bigger card to include many damaged locations that are not on the small card. Super Bingo!

I am unable to feel any sympathy for ordinary Russian citizens at this time. All my love and concern is for the ordinary Ukrainian citizens.
