One of my dad’s best friends called him. He was in Mariupol, a bomb landed near him and blew off his arm, killed the family standing 10 metres next to him. His apartment and everything he owns is destroyed. All he keeps repeating is “I have nothing left.”

Unpopular opinion:
Ukrainians don’t need another speech about how inspiring we are.
We need air defense, electricity and a winter without funerals.

As I’ve been saying since 2014, if you think defending Ukraine is expensive, Russia winning would be exponentially more so.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns a Russian victory in Ukraine could shatter global alliances, reshape the world economy, and force nations to question whether they can still rely on America. 🇺🇸
Asked what a Russian victory in Ukraine would mean for the global economy, Dimon responded:
“It could be a potential disaster.
This is the first war in Europe where a free, democratic nation was invaded by 200,000 or 300,000 Russian soldiers under the threat of nuclear blackmail.
We’ve never had nuclear blackmail before.
You’re also teaching the whole world that maybe having nuclear weapons is a pretty good thing, because people will be afraid of you, and you can abuse a neighbor if you feel like it.
Russia would be on the border of NATO. Obviously, NATO is rearming right now.
But the other thing is, it’s affecting all alliances, military alliances and global economic alliances.
And the nexus of Iran, North Korea, and China makes it very hard, in my view, for the Chinese-American relationship.
China says they’re neutral, but they’re helping. We are clearly not neutral.
If Russia wins, you might see a lot of people deciding: Will America stand up for Europe? Can you rely on them? And if you can’t rely on them, what are you going to do?
That includes economically.
Every nation is going to say, what makes me secure? Energy, food, all the things I need.
I’m worried that if Russia wins, you could see the world enter a little bit of chaos as people realign alliances and economic relationships.”

NEW: UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband has told Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov that he and his government are responsible for killing innocent civilians, condemning Thursday’s attack on Dnipro railway station
Speaking directly to Lavrov at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in the US today, Miliband said:
"Let me say this directly to the Russian Foreign Minister: we all know who the aggressor in this war is. Let's talk about what happened at Dnipro railway yesterday. Only yesterday your drones attacked and killed 15 people. And there are countless examples like this of you killing innocent civilians throughout this war. We all know you are the aggressor. We all know you started this war four and a half years ago with the full scale invasion of Ukraine. "
"And Putin thought then he would win this war easily. But you are are not winning this war. Thanks to the courage of the Ukrainian people and the solidarity of countries round this table, you are not winning. If you had the courage to tell the truth and to do what is right you would tell Putin that he is not winning this war and will not win."

🇪🇪 ✊ Estonian Prime Minister refuses to tone down his rhetoric toward Russians: “I’m not going to hold back”
“Putin is a dictator who kills women and children. And he will continue to do so until he is forced to change course,” Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said.
Speaking to Delfi, he said he had received no direct requests from the US to soften his rhetoric. The politician added:
“Appeasing dictators only leads to humiliation, and freedom will ultimately be lost anyway.”
🇺🇸 The US has urged the Baltic states to “keep it down” and stop making harsh statements about Russia. Wait, what?
Reuters reports, citing sources, that US officials have approached Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in recent weeks.
Washington believes that strong rhetoric about the Russian threat could escalate tensions and undermine European security.
Among the remarks that reportedly caught Washington's attention was a claim by European leaders that Russia has been “cornered like a rat” by its war against Ukraine and is resorting to increasingly desperate measures.
Apparently, they've been asked not to say things like that anymore.

One day after a Russian drone killed 14 people waiting for a train in Dnipro, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov landed in Atlanta for the G20 meeting hosted by Marco Rubio.
Several European diplomats objected to being photographed alongside Lavrov and threatened to walk out, forcing the U.S. to scrap the traditional group photo.
Absolutely disgusting

This ran full-page in today's edition of the New York Post.
Putin is many things, but today, in the wake of multiple Russian attacks that killed more than a dozen people, and every day, we can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, he is not a humanitarian.

What dribbling nonsense.
This isn't a war that both sides stumbled into and which is only persisting because of mutual intransigence. It's a campaign of Russian conquest kept going entirely by the Russians who refuse to stop. Anyone pretending otherwise is de facto pro-Russia.
I’ve been looking into the war in Ukraine over the past 24 hours and I’ll admit that I’m shocked. In the region of one million people have been killed so far. Russians and Ukrainians. War is insane. You’d have thought after the First World War that people would have realised that sending millions of young men to be slaughtered was a bad idea, but it seems that nothing was learned. Come on Putin and Zelenskyy; get on the phone to each other and call it a day. I’m happy to come out to Russia, buy you both a drink while we sit in a pub and put a stop to this. Let’s sort it now.

Meanwhile, the death army of that great humanitarian Vladimir Putin have struck a passenger railway platform in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, destroying a passenger train and killing at least 13 people.

What the actual FUCK, @ufc?!
HOW THE HELL IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?!
During the SAME UFC broadcast, your English-language stream identifies Nikita Krylov’s birthplace as DONETSK, UKRAINE, while your ruzzian-language stream labels it DONETSK, rUZZIA.
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!
Donetsk is UKRAINE. It has ALWAYS been Ukraine. ruzzia’s illegal occupation DOES NOT change that.
While Ukrainians are being killed defending their country against ruzzian aggression, you’re casually presenting internationally recognised Ukrainian territory as ruzzian territory to your ruzzian-speaking audience?!
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
This isn’t some harmless translation mistake. You’re displaying two completely different versions of reality depending on the language of the broadcast.
@ufc, we demand a PUBLIC EXPLANATION.
Who authorised this? Why was Donetsk labelled as ruzzia? And what are you going to do about it?
You don’t get to recognise Ukraine’s borders in English and erase them in ruzziab.
DONETSK IS UKRAINE! NOT rUZZIA! NEVER WAS! NEVER WILL BE!

Ukraine is not Russia. That's Putin’s problem – refusing to recognize a separate nation, refusing to recognize a separate country – that's what did him in. He was shown a military operation that was supposed to take three days. We found parade uniforms in their various military vehicles. They were literally marching to a parade. He still doesn't understand and doesn't want to admit that this is a different nation, a different people.
They were advancing on Kyiv from all directions. Their main goal was to seize the capital of Ukraine. They reached Kyiv. They trapped us, and then we started hammering them, and they didn't know what to do about it. They were especially shocked when they drove toward the capital and people were just throwing burning mixtures. People were setting their armor on fire. It wasn't a matter of some general being an idiot. I believe the one who gave the order just didn't fully realize what was happening.
Because what does taking Kyiv mean? When you've taken those towns on the way to Kyiv, you have to leave troops behind to hold those towns. And that takes a huge number of people. It's a pretty large territory. If the people inside offer resistance, then you need an army to hold every town. That was their mistake. They didn't even realize there would be resistance. That was their main mistake. That's it.

In case you thought this was ever about NATO or the Nazis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.” wapo.st/48aZaZF

Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them.
When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive?

The drone that killed one-year-old Anhelina circled above a park before dropping on to a nearby path and exploding.
The shrapnel killed six people in Nova Vodolaha, a small town outside Ukraine’s second city of Kharkiv. The girl’s mother also died.
The US in recent days has been accused of hampering Ukraine’s air defence by imposing connectivity restrictions on drone interceptors and delaying access to intelligence required to counter ballistic missiles
