This is sick. The EU must stop lying. Stop appeasing Trump. The only "continued US efforts" are to coerce Ukraine to capitulate to Russia. The 28 point CAPITULATION plan was drafted in the Kremlin. It is not a basis for a just and lasting peace. The EU must REJECT this plan.

Devastating Russian attack on the city of Ternopil in western Ukraine. The genocidal davagr barbarians destroyed a residential building, blowing the top half of the building right off. This is naked genocide. We have a legal duty to stop genocide.

Thick plumes of smoke hang over Lviv after an attack on western Ukraine by the genocidal barbarian Russians.
Russians should experience the full consequences of their war and genocide. Ukraine's response should be symmetrical.

NATO's new motto: "We will defend every inch of NATO territory...except our railroads, our military bases, our weapons manufacturing plants, our research facilities, our water treatment plants, our airports, our malls, our airspace, and everything else Russia attacks."

This is an act of aggression against Poland. This rail explosion and blockage should serve as a stark warning of what comes from not resoundingly defeating Russia. We either fight with Ukraine to stop Russia or experience more of these attacks on our own soil.

Devastating story. Natalia Khodymchuk, widow of the first victim of the 1986 Chornobyl disaster, died from severe burn injuries from Russia's massive Nov. 14–15 attack on Kyiv.
Russia kills, kills, kills. Death and destruction are Muscovy's legacy.

No, NOT a "bloody conflict", Mr Rubio, but illegal, unprovoked Russian aggression and ongoing genocide of Ukrainians. Denying facts and reality doesn't erase American obligations to help Ukraine defeat Russia and stop Russian genocide of Ukranians. Denial is in fact nothing more than LYING.

Former Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's claim that closing Ukraine's airspace in 2022 would've meant full NATO-Russia war is false. NATO shooting down UNMANNED Russian aircraft in Ukrainian skies would NOT have been direct conflict with Russia and could not have triggered WW3.

Russian war criminal Lavrov comes to Alaska in a sweatshirt with "USSR" in Russian on it. Given the multiple genocides committed by Moscow under the USSR (including the brutal Holodomor genocide against Ukrainians), its imperialist nature and character, this is a HOSTILE act.

Ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, recall that in July 2022, billboards with the slogan “Alaska is ours!” started appearing in the Russian Federation days after suggestions that Russia could reclaim Alaska from the US.

This isn’t a peace deal. This is rewarding Russian aggression under the false pretense of peace. Ukraine must resounding reject this surrender to Moscow.

A leading, state run Russian media agency ran an article titled "There is no other option: no one should remain alive in Ukraine".
We can be more than certain that this title was consciously and deliberately chosen by the editors to incite genocide of Ukrainians.

No, Russia didn't destroy and damage residential buildings, hospitals, and schools across Kyiv in another devastating attack on the capital to "test Trump's resolve". These Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities are part of a SYSTEMIC PATTERN to depopulate Ukraine. This is genocide.

"Nowhere is safe in Ukraine."
"There is no safe place left in Ukraine.”
Yet despite these dire words from the UN in the parallel reality of many western governments, Ukraine is SO safe that refugee programmes are being cut and people are being pushed back to Ukraine.

Moscow is either preparing to attack Estonia - a NATO nation - or is making new attempts to intimidate NATO.
Russia is moving electronic warfare systems 20km from Estonia against the backdrop of Zapad-2025 military drills in Belarus.

In the meantime, Russia continues to cause horrifying death and destruction in its genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine. Among the many attacks last night was a devastating strike on a historic food market in Odesa. Built in 1812, it survived two world wars, but not this.

Recall that Moscow bombed the theatre in the city of Mariupol in 2022 where mainly children were taken for shelter. The word "CHILDREN" was written in Russian in massive letters so it could be read even from the sky. The Russian KNEW civilians had taken refuge there.

Many people have expressed horror and disbelief at Russia's attacks on Kyiv's metro stations with civilians sheltering inside. Horror, I understand. Disbelief, perplexes me.

Russian attacks on Kyiv subway stations where civilians are sheltering from missile and drone attacks on their homes have a two-fold purpose: To suffocate the people as they seek refuge from attacks on their homes above; and destroy Kyiv's metro system, which, if successful, will cripple the city.

In 2022, Ukrainian civilians barricaded the road to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (Europe's largest NPP) to defend it against Russian forces. They faced Russian tanks totally unarmed. Yet NATO nations are afraid to shoot down UNMANNED Russian drones and missiles in Ukraine.
