Live straight out of Bucha 🇺🇦
Such a great quiet happiness to be in Kyiv right now

You all laugh at how Putin, like an idiot, slipped up at his press conference and called himself the “CIA director,” but meanwhile the other three Putin clones are beating the shit out of that king of comedy right now in some Kremlin backroom for such Freudian slips.

Odesa.

The sea, the fun, expensive restaurants full of people, air raid sirens and booms all night long, every night.
September 23, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Odesa is really a very special place on Earth, in war and peace alike
September 22, 2025 at 7:03 PM
Quite a view.

Scarred Odesa port keeps holding on.

So, listen up, kids:

When Russia deliberately launches dozens of drones against Poland and Romania, that is NOT warmongering and NOT a threat of war between Russia and NATO.
September 15, 2025 at 8:08 AM
Oh, and now drunk Dimon is howling with threats over proposals for European forces to help Ukraine shoot down Russian drones and missiles at least over western Ukraine.
September 15, 2025 at 8:08 AM
Good old Kyiv tonight
September 14, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Now I really, really understand why so many foreigners love living in Ukraine even despite war

Look who's coming to town now with our glorious Ukrzaliznytsia

Anyone got any more questions about whether Donald Trump would do anything if the worst happens and Russia turns against NATO allies in Europe?

Ukraine is Europe’s greatest ally now, and we need each other as dearly as never before.

The true plague of the 21st century is the reckless and deranged bellowing before millions, spouting off about things it knows nothing of, lulling the mind into sleep — the sleep that produces monsters.

It has happened in history, both on the left and right, and will end badly again.

Yet another young Ukrainan Air Force pilot has been killed in action today.

Major Oleksandr Borovyk of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade had a mission with his Sukhoi Su-27 at the Zaporizhia sector.

He was just 30.

Well, what did you expect — Putin is already bored with simply having a daily bloodbath on the front line in Ukraine and burying Ukrainians under the rubble of their homes every night.

He revels in the war, in the mass killing of people, in the terror of war he projects onto the entire West.

On the other hand, every crisis is always an opportunity.

Therefore, anyone who now starts screeching that Russian Shaheds attacking Poland are a “mistake,” an “accident,” that “Ukrainians are to blame,” or that “Putin must be offered concessions with so there will be no war in Europe”...
September 10, 2025 at 10:33 AM
Just wait for this:

“We stand in solidarity with Poland under attack with Russian drones — so once again, Ukraine must finally surrender so that this all could end.”

What do you even know about intrigue?

Real intrigue is when you’re in bed at night suddenly hearing the rising roar of jet engines — and there are two options.

Either it’s our fighter circling high above taking down Shaheds or it’s a Russian missile heading just this way.

If you think you will sit this war out and nothing is going to happen to you of what Russia is doing to Ukraine every day, you are profoundly mistaken.

And if Ukraine falls and you get to be the next on Russia’s way, it will be too late to scratch your heads about how it ended up this way.

Bidding the last farewell to Daria “Delta” Lopatina.

There’s an hour-long queue to say goodbye at the St. Michael’s right now.
September 8, 2025 at 11:47 AM
In Russian social media, there’s ecstasy again — in Kyiv, drone strikes killed a woman and a two-month-old infant, and at night they set fire to empty government offices.

Oh, what happiness! What joy!

The greatness of Russia, risen from its knees!

They showed those khokhols!
That’s how we’ll win!

Can you imagine the colossal sums being siphoned off right now in Putin’s inner circle under the guise of “research into life extension” and “immortality through constant organ transplants”?
September 4, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Daria ‘Delta’ Lopatina.
Rest in Peace.

Former Ukrainian POW Oleksandr Strafun:

From the moment of his release from Russian captivity in June 2025 — to just 2.5 months later, surrounded by love, proper medical care, and the support of his fiancée (now wife) Olena.

This is what happens when life and love win and when it’s Ukraine 🇺🇦
