Preferably to host pilots on their jets, not politicians on trains.
We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

Trump is pushing us past the point of no return, towards a world war against Russia and China, his legacy will be shaped by his collaboration with those powers, and by his monumental acts of criminality, terrorism, and treason.

Apparently russia used its strongest leverage over the US Govt which is now threatening to cut any support to Ukraine.
Several hundreds of missiles shot at refineries might destroy fragile putin's regime. russia is much closer to collapse than anyone can imagine.
Ukraine is ready to take the risk.

The role of the US in the russia-Ukraine war isn't OK.
It's terribly wrong.
In the ongoing pressure on Ukraine the US Govt openly sided with the anti-democratic regime. The "Peace Plan" includes 28 points of human rights dissolution & rewarding of aggression.

Current American "peace" plan lacks just one thing - the date of full occupation of Ukraine.
Witkoff promotes full surrender of democracy & total rewarding of aggression.

First, russia deliberately destroyed a big pharmaceutical warehouse in Kyiv.
Then they destroyed another one in Dnipro.
While russia is making medicines inaccessible in Ukraine, pharmaceutical companies continue to operate in russia "for humanitarian reasons". Do genocide mongers deserve this?

Before 2014, Ukraine operated 15 thermal power plants.
Due to the 2014 russian occupation & subsequent hostilities, Ukraine was left with 8 thermal power stations.
Following the 2022 full-scale russian invasion, as of November 2025, only 3 power plants remain partially operational incl in Sloviansk.

The allies could have supported Ukraine in dismantling the russian economy back in 2022.
The fear paralysed them. They chose to condemn Ukrainians to use machine guns from the 1960s against cruise missiles. So many lives were lost due to the fear & vain attempts to avoid escalation!

Whenever anybody mentions "avoiding escalation" or "fear of WWIII", Ukrainians know they are dealing with a coward that doesn't care about the lives of people.
‼️🇺🇦 On the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, President Zelensky called NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg from a bunker in Kyiv and urgently pleaded for a no-fly zone to stop Russian air attacks, - The Times

Russia is now openly using the 9M729 missile, the very weapon that caused the INF Treaty to collapse. A nuclear-capable system, deployed against Ukraine. This is no longer escalation; it’s the dismantling of the last remnants of nuclear restraint.

It is highly underrated how many russians would approve of air strikes aimed at moscow.
moscow is widely regarded as a parasite sucking out blood from country's regions.
Ukraine's plan to grow social unrest in russia is based on a deep understanding of russian society that the Collective West lacks.

Air defence in Moscow. No more Pantsir or Buk or S-400 air defence systems. Just trucks with machine guns. One loves to see it.

Each of the russian missiles was manufactured using hundreds foreign components, a supply of which is supposed to be completely cut.

KATAPULT German magazine drew a stark map: the area of Ukraine under Russian occupation laid over other countries. Put it on France — it blankets almost all of Normandy and part of Île-de-France. On Poland — about half of Mazovia. On Germany — all of Brandenburg and Berlin. 👇

There's only one topic worth discussing at a business meeting between Trump & putin:
on what conditions the US receives regions of Kamchatka, Sakhalin & Vladivostok, currently governed by moscow.

Helicopters play a crucial role in Ukraine’s air defences. This chopper has shot down so many Russian drones that it is fast running out of space to record fresh kills

The international focus on humanitarian response in Ukraine after the russian attacks instead of stopping the attacks is incomprehensible.
Why be surprised that the most crazy theories may slowly spread in the Ukrainian society, e.g. the approval by the West of the russian war & ethnic cleansing?

Autumn 2025 russian attacks have multiple targets in Ukraine. In addition to the power grid (power generation & power distribution), city/district central heating, russians destroy railways, and, which is not highlighted enough, - they repeatedly target dams to cause huge man-made catastrophes.
