Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened. Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself. Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

Three years ago, Russia committed one of the worst CRІMES of this wаr. On June 6, 2023, russians destrоуed the Kakhovka Dam, unleashing catastrophic flooding across southern Ukraine. Entire towns and villages were submerged. People and animals drоwned. Thousands lost their homes. Ecosystems were devastated, and the consequences are still felt today. This was not an accident. This was a deliberate act of dеstruction. The world must not forget the vіctims of the Kakhovka trаgedy and must not normalize russia’s crіmes against Ukraine. Remember Kakhovka. Remember the lives lost. Remember who did this.

Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russians destroyed the Kakhovka Dam — one of the worst ecological disasters of the century. Hundreds of villages flooded, dozens of lives lost, ecosystems wiped out for generations. Not an accident — state terror. We remember.

Russia is deliberately destroying natural habitats, as well as injuring and killing animals in Ukraine. This is ecocide, and Russia has to be held accountable for it. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!” He posted this without irony. For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines. We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague. At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever. Trump has the internet. He chose this.

Research suggests that every €1 invested in wind energy delivers €7 annually for the European economy. This is due to the compounding effects of not having to import energy, leading to faster growth.

russia bombed Kyiv's sleeping civilians for five hours. russia wants to terrorise a peaceful population into submission. Why do we let them? Close the skies. Use their assets to arm Ukraine. Stop buying their energy. Isolate them from the world. Come on

We welcome the UK’s new ban on maritime services for Russian #LNG, an important step in support of Ukraine. But the Sakhalin-2 exemption until 2027 remains unjustified. It has nothing to do with European #energy security and will continue funding Russia’s war budget.

- Ireland is exporting raw materials directly to russias war machine - The UK is easing sanctions on russian oil - EU still imports russian LNG Europe is bankrolling the invasion of its own continent, selling their future for cheap energy. Spineless.

Lithuania became stronger by ending its dependence on Russian energy. Europe can do the same – freedom begins with getting rid of dependencies. FM @BudrysKestutis spoke with @NZZ on security, deterrence and Europe’s need to act geopolitically.

The Kremlin’s war machine is running out of steam. As our sanctions take hold, we see a regime retreating behind a digital Iron Curtain to hide the truth about its failing economy. But history has a lesson: no matter how high the wall, it eventually falls. Our 20th package ramps up the pressure ↓

Prominent Russian environmental activist Yevgenia Chirikova hits the nail on the head. "'Ecological catastrophe in Tuapse is a Ukrainian war crime,' I was deeply surprised and frustrated to hear that from an environmentalist with whom I once defended nature together. No. Russia's oil ports are legitimate military targets, and the more russian oil is destroyed, the more Ukrainian children will survive." Bravo, Yevgenia.
Экологическая катастрофа в Туапсе - это военное преступление Украины»- меня сильно удивила и разозлила такая оценка происходящего от эколога , с которым когда-то вместе защищали природу . Нет! Российские нефтепорты - законная цель Украины и чем больше российской нефти будет уничтожено , тем больше украинских детей выживет !
