Two rescuers and two animals were inside the van. All survived, but the injured dog needed veterinary care.

This is the second direct strike on UAnimals vehicles this year - another rescue van was hit in February.

The AFU has successfully blocked Russian forces in Kupyansk and cleared the entire northwest outskirts of the city. Ukrainian units quickly secured Radkivka and Kindrashivka and brought Holubivka under fire control before clearing Mirne and the northwest approaches to Kupyansk.

Another area of the federal government that needs more light. Legacy media failed us as the new corporate owners started working for the good of a few instead of the rest of us
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Black Sea: 🇷🇺 Russian fleet gone. Shadow fleet tankers hit. An-26 down. Radars knocked out. Daily destruction.
Caspian Sea: 🌐 Gas-oil platform struck. Two sanctioned arms vessels destroyed. Russia is at its weakest ever, and the only real peace plan is to defeat and demilitarize them. Wait and see.

People who are saying that Trump's new National Security Strategy should not be taken seriously should ask themselves this: Was it right or wrong not to take Project 2025 seriously?

🇺🇦 Ukraine’s SBU drones have again struck Russian oil platforms in the Caspian Sea. This time, long-range drones targeted the Filanovsky and Korchagin platforms, damaging critical equipment and halting operations. This marks the second successful attack on these strategic assets within a week.

Quick guide to interpreting US foreign policy propaganda: if the word “deal” was used, some American made some money, and the war is still going on.
An estimated 200,000 people have fled fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo just days after Trump hailed a “historic” peace deal to end the conflict.

👀🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today there have been several reports from Rustem Umerov on the work of our negotiating team.

At the site in Germany, the work of the defense group is being prepared, which is dedicated to the details of security guarantees for Ukraine.

🇺🇸 Former Trump adviser Bryan Lanza is now consulting for Russian oil giant Lukoil, Politico reports. Lanza is helping sell Lukoil’s non-Russian assets after new U.S. sanctions. He previously called returning Crimea to Ukraine “unrealistic.”

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visit—offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely.

Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

OTD in 1994 the First Chechen War began. After incompetent initial assault that failed, Russian army turned to barbarism & crimes against humanity. It stopped when we signed a peace deal we would later violate.

Ukraine has halted a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea. SBU used long-range drones to strike Lukoil’s Filanovsky platform, causing at least 4 hits. The attack shut down oil and gas extraction from over 20 wells. “Any facility aiding Russia’s war is a legitimate target,” one SBU source said.
