🇩🇪 How an AfD Politician Uncovered the Kremlin's Lies and Flipped for Ukraine A former member of Germany's pro-Russian AfD party shares just how powerful Russian propaganda is within their ranks, admitting that he himself used to be deeply pro-Russian because he blindly believed Russia's lies. However, when he traveled to Ukraine for the very first time, he saw with his own eyes that everything Russia says is a complete lie, and that Ukrainians are entirely different from Russians. Following this revelation, he became staunchly pro-Ukrainian right inside his pro-Russian party and began openly calling out Russia's falsehoods.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

BLACK SEA BUG OUT: The Russian Black Sea Fleet command has decided to evacuate Sevastopol. Sources inside the Russian Navy, and the UKR partisan network Atesh, report officers have already started moving families and property – before any official order has been received.

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No. He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

Hihi

Ukrainian drone forces are methodically grinding down bridges connecting the Russian-occupied parts of Kherson with the occupied peninsula of Crimea. The bridge in Chonhar has already been critically hit. Russians moved pontoon bridges to bypass it, but Ukrainians continue to strike this area. In Henichesk the situation is similar. While the bridge is not completely closed, it has been severely damaged and only one lane can be used. It is questionable if the damaged bridge can carry heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and tankers. The bridge in Armiansk was hit by several drones and is impassable for cars and trucks. Additionally, the bridge near Stavky north of Armiansk has also been struck. The extent of the damage has yet to be determined. Overall the development is quite clear. Ukrainians are increasingly making all movement for logistics impossible. The list only the current state and will certainly get worse for the Russian invasion force. With the Kerch Bridge being diminished since the strikes some years ago and all major ferris destroyed, relative isolation of Russian-occupied Crimea is a new reality.

- Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy: "Peace cannot be achieved through Ukraine's defeat or the surrender of its territories. That would be extremely dangerous for peace in Europe and a precedent for the entire world. We will achieve peace only when Russia stops its aggression and withdraws its troops from Ukrainian territory." It should be clear enough ..!🤷‍♀️

According to latest reports, ALL bridges into Crimea have now been hit. After the Chonhar and Henichesk bridges were hit earlier this week, last night bridges in Armiansk and Krasnoperekopsk were reportedly hit as well. Wait until you see what's coming next.👀🍿

In a world where you can be anything, be a number 50

HODGES: Ukrainians don’t need to attempt a large-scale amphibious landing to capture Crimea right now. They’ve taken a two-step approach. First, isolating Crimea by steadily eroding its mainland connectivity. Second, making Crimea untenable for Russians. There's nowhere to hide.

Hej yah var en vild kamp

Russians have lost the ability to use the port of Mariupol. Critical infrastructure facilities of the Mariupol Commercial Port have been destroyed.

The US has called on Ukraine and Russia to immediately agree to a comprehensive ceasefire and move to peace negotiations. Cool. But has anyone told them who exactly keeps saying “no”? Ukraine has proposed negotiations 500 times already. Meanwhile, Russia keeps rambling about some delulu Anchorage meeting that Ukraine wasn’t even part of, while continuing to launch missiles and drones every single day. So maybe the problem isn’t that nobody is offering peace. Maybe the problem is that one side doesn’t want it.

Fint, men hvorfor ikke gå skridtet videre ? Alle russere, uanset deltagelse i krigen, er ikke velkommen i EU. Og hjemsendelse af dem der er her allerede, med mindre de har statsborgerskab i et EU land. Putins kan væltes som følge af to ting: økonomien i Rusland, eller folkets udtilfredshed. #dkpol

Ukrainian strike on Mariupol port. It significantly impacts Russia's ability to use the port in Russian-occupied Mariupol and will complicate the logistics of the Russian troops. Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, a control tower and tanks with fuel and lubricants were hit, as well as the sanctioned dry cargo ship "Lady Augusta", which is part of the Russian shadow fleet. This joint operation was carried out by the 1st Corps of the Azov Naval Group, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Central Military "A" District and the Unmanned Systems Forces.

Wonderful

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact. Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

How in the blood hell can you have a President who acts like this as something normal?

FREDERIKSEN: One of the things where I have disagreed with some of my colleagues is all the red lines that have been put on Ukraine, because I don't think you can win a war with red lines. You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that because some allies said, "Well, we cannot put our fighter jets in Ukraine." Then we had questions about long-range weapons. That was also red line. There have been so many red lines. It's almost like we have asked you to defend Europe with one arm behind your back. That has not been fair. And one of the ways to get around some of these red lines is producing directly in Ukraine, because now you can produce some of the weapons that some allies have been refusing to give you.
