Irish parliament have now started demanding samples from Aughinish are forensically analysed against missile fragments. This is a huge step closer to linking the russian refinery to the Kremlins military complex.

‼️  « Je tiens tous les Russes 🇷🇺collectivement responsables de ce mal et de ce génocide du peuple 🇺🇦. Ils sont responsables de leur silence, de leur complaisance et de leur inaction! » 👉🏼C’est ce qu’affirme également Kasparov ✨👇🏼👇🏼

In our scenario, frontier-model export controls were a 2028 event. It took two days for it to happen 😢. The most capable US models are now legally off-limits for non Americans. The silver lining is that it's getting very hard for European policy makers to keep ignoring this.

Putin said to all missions ‘leave Kyiv’. Instead, all 32 NATO Ambassadors and the Secretary General visit Ukraine. Our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for Ukraine is unshaken #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Open Letter To the President of the Russian Federation From the President of Ukraine When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past. Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.

Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast. Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action. It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale. The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America. Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov says American diplomats should leave Ukraine—to avoid their blood thirsty bombs. In Ukraine now, I’m seeing firsthand brave American diplomats who refuse to be cowed by Russian bullying.

Still want to continue sham negotiations with this murderous Russian regime, Europe? Or will you finally realize the only negotiation Putin and his gang will ever understand is military defeat that threatens their power?

MANY years ago John McCain was the first person to draw MY attention to just ONE plausible deduction for Putin's (let's say) 'aggression' towards Ukraine AND now almost a decade later Ms Applebaum HAS added HER information which logically reinforces Mr McCain's earlier theory!!

The wonderful Anne Applebaum explains the whole reason for Russian's invasion of Ukraine

Another Ukrainian long-range sanction against Russian oil refining – and we are continuing this line of action. This time around, it was the Syzran oil refinery – more than 800 kilometers away from our border. I thank the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces and the Special Operations Forces for their precision. Glory to Ukraine!

The beauty of Ukrainian compassion ✨️ ​This is Ukraine.

STUBB: We are not going to return to normal relations with Russia. We all fully understand that. Look, Finland became a member of NATO because Russia attacked Ukraine. So there’s no going back to normal.

15/05/26 Finland 🇫🇮 There is no return to normal relations between Russia. Putin-Russia has caused insurmountable suffering to innocent human lives.Murdered,Raped,Prisoned.Carried out an illegal invasion in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Same 🕰️begs Zelensky to stop for his parade with no armour.
