She waited twelve years for this. In 2014, Liliia Karas lost her nephew to the war. Two years later — her brother. From that moment, she had one plan: wait until her child turned at least 16. Then join. "I was waiting until my child was at least 16 years old to come here. To defend my native land. To defend my family." When she finally arrived at training, they offered her options. She had only one answer. "I said — I am only a gunner. Only a gunner. That's it." The 23rd Separate Mechanised Brigade took her at her word. Liliia now operates the Browning heavy machine gun mounted on a MaxxPro armoured vehicle. When the signal comes, the crew moves to position and works. Her combat sister Nastia drives. Liliia is behind the gun. "They told me right away: 'You're on the Browning.' I said: 'Super.'" No hesitation. No negotiation. Twelve years of waiting — and then exactly the role she came for. 🇺🇦Ukraine's front line is held by people who chose to be there. Who counted the years. Who said goodbye to children old enough to understand why. Liliia Karas. Gunner. 23rd Brigade.

Ukrainian attack drones hit a major Russian oil depot in Rybinsk this morning, setting multiple tanks ablaze. Seen here, a Ukrainian attack drone flies towards the already burning Russian depot, descends, and then smashes into another oil tank.

SOLO PER GLI SMEMORATI: La villa di Arcore, B. la rubó all'orfana dei signori Casati Stampa, dopo che il padre dell'orfana aveva ucciso la moglie, l'amante giovane e si era suicidato. Alla ragazza, desiderosa di scappare dall'Italia e bisognosa di soldi, vennero offerti 500 milioni di lire contro un valore della villa stimato per 7,3 miliardi di lire. La cosa bella è che i 500 milioni non vennero dati in soldi ma in azioni non quotate in borsa. Proprio per questo la ragazza non riuscì a cambiarle in denaro e si ritrovo con delle azioni bloccate. Allora B. si offrì di riprendersele in cambio di 250 milioni di lire e alla fine la ragazza si ritrovó a vendere una casa di 7,3 miliardi per 250 milioni di lire. Non c'è che dire, un affare. Per quanti diranno, fessa lei che ha accettato, occorre ricordare che era un'orfana e che il suo tutore legale era Cesare Previti (CONDANNATO A 6 ANNI), avvocato e braccio destro finanziario di B. Questa è una delle cose... si potrebbe andare avanti ore... In Italia a uno come questo, dopo tutto quello che ha fatto, gli fanno i funerali di Stato. Siamo nella follia pura!!! Edoardo Sala

Mentre da noi @GiuseppeConteIT e @RoVannacci, continuano a chiedere di non inviare più armi all’Ucraina, la Russia ha lanciato 12 bombe plananti contro il mercato e le abitazioni a Vasilkivka, nell'oblast di Dnipropetrovsk.

Маловідомі кадри з Маріуполя: 12 років від дня звільнення 13 червня 2014 року 159 добровольців «Азову» під командуванням Андрія Білецького звільнили місто і здійняли синьо-жовтий стяг. Тоді ще без серйозного озброєння і підготовки зламали план кремля й довели — росію можна перемагати.

RT @DumortierEmily: Voilà ⤵️

Russia vs Ukraine is one of the least morally complicated wars ever. Anyone that disputes this is very likely a deranged moron.

Sounds reasonable to me.

"How do you even keep your mental health together?" "I don't. I lost it a long time ago. Ever since three of my closest friends and my boyfriend were killed. I was the one who recovered his body from the evacuation point." Ukrainian Defender "Kit" ("Cat") from the Magura Brigade joined the military at the age of 24. Over four years of service, she has fought in some of the war's hottest sectors, including the defense of Donetsk region, the counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia region, and the Kursk operation. Kit's boyfriend died defending Ukraine in Donetsk region while carrying out a combat mission. "One evening, he brought me the wounded and the fallen from the positions, and the very next evening, he was the one being recovered..." Today, Kit is defending the Sumy region. 📹: Hromadske Radio

The FP-2 UAV strikes on the crossings/bridges are the same as the HIMARS strikes on the crossings in the Kherson region in 2022, which led to the withdrawal of Russian forces from Kherson - only now, instead of Kherson, it is Crimea/Zaporizhzhia/left bank of Kherson region

Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

I'm old enough to remember a Ukrainian strike on a refinery being cause of wild celebration. Now it's called Friday

The strike on TANECO in Nizhnekamsk is significant. It is one of russia’s largest and most modern oil refineries, processing over 17 million tons of crude per year. Ukrainian sanctions are highly precise.

A few things are becoming clearer. russia will have ZERO oil producing facilities by the end of the war. russia will give back every sq mtr of land they stole. INCLUDING CRIMEA. That's it. That's the tweet.

Un altro morto a 18 anni. Però le mezzeseghe putiniste che campano col buono pasto di Mosca dicono che è Zelensky che manda a morire i ragazzini.

Christ. I did business in Russia for 15 years. I have made at least 50 trips there and speak Russian (very badly). MY children were born in Russia for God's sake. FACT: It is a third-world country striving to be second world. It is a strange and weird place. Nothing is as it seems. If she had to live there she would want out ASAP

Ditto

so @YouTube has started to block videos that advertise to join the killing machine of the russian shahed factory Alabuga. but videos like this with 13M subscribers / 6M views are still up, and this 🤡 is still getting paid with blood money youtube.com/watch?v=DLhmYqxK… go report 🥷

Merz: "Ukraine has been defending its freedom for more than 4 years." (AfD members laughing) Merz: "That’s telling sign, ladies and gentlemen. They laugh about it, they laugh about fate of millions of people in Ukraine and they travel to Moscow for their champagne receptions."
