Belarusians and Russians. Watch and learn how to do it. Do not go out with balloons and a poster, and then watch how you are loaded into cars one by one.And so, all together, not retreating with bare hands on a machine gun or tank. We will never be brothers. #StopRussia #Ukraine

As Russia unleashed one of its largest drone attacks on Ukraine this year, CBS News' @aidan_stretch documented the scramble to a Kyiv metro station as explosions rang out just after 3 a.m. The overnight assault killed more than a dozen people and wounded more than 100 across the country, Ukrainian authorities said.

Russians killed this child overnight. His name was Bohdanchyk. He was 8.

BREAKING: Catholic U.S. Congressman @tedlieu just released a torching statement about Trump and Vance mocking Jesus, and demands an appology: “Stop doing stupid stuff like attacking the Pope… It’s very clear when you look at the Bible, that you don’t have false idols, and you don’t mock God... Donald Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus. He should not be making a false idol of himself. No one should be worshipping Donald Trump. He needs to apologize for that deeply offensive post… JD Vance says ‘that was a joke.' Well this is what the Bible says about that… ‘do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.’ So Donald Trump is going to reap what he sows.”

Петер Мадьяр пришёл на интервью на государственный венгерский телеканал М1: «Вы пригласили меня только сейчас, спустя полтора года после того, как я представил программу своей партии». И прямо во время эфира объявил о ликвидации этого пропагандистского телеканала😁🤷‍♂️

Over the past 10 years, the number of cemeteries and crematoriums in Russia has sharply increased, according to data from EMIS and the Ministry of Construction. In 2025, there were 33 crematoriums registered in the country - 10 more than in 2015. The majority of them are located in Moscow (3), with two each in a number of regions, including the Chelyabinsk, Rostov, Sverdlovsk, and Novosibirsk regions, as well as the Krasnodar and Primorsky Krais. The number of cemeteries increased from 72,760 to 73,833, but their number decreased in Moscow and the Moscow region. At the same time, the largest number of cemeteries is now in Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, and the Smolensk region.

Listen up Fuckface: you haven’t ended any wars, you’ve started them. In fact, you are a fucking war criminal. Plus, we haven’t forgotten that you’re a disgusting pedophile.

Russian invaders destroyed their home, but not their spirit. Ukrainian kids. Unbroken. Unbreakable.

🚨 Sergei Shoigu — Russia’s former defense minister and one of Putin’s closest allies — has warned Finland and the Baltic states that Moscow may act under its “right to self-defense.” He claims Ukrainian drones are flying through their airspace — and says Russia could respond accordingly, citing Article 51 of the UN Charter. Translation: the Kremlin is openly hinting at potential strikes linked to NATO territory — a dangerous escalation that could drag the alliance into direct confrontation.

“The world is being destroyed by a handful of tyrants”: Pope criticizes Trump and explains that leaders spend billions on wars. “The warlords act as if they don’t know that destruction takes only a moment, but rebuilding often takes a lifetime. They act as if they don’t see that billions of dollars are being spent on killing and destruction, while resources for healing, education, and reconstruction are nowhere to be found,” the Pope said. And I’ll add this for the Pope: Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump.

The horrific images we are witnessing in Ukraine today are a direct consequence of Trump’s actions. Since Donald Trump returned to power, the number of russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians — and the resulting death toll — has increased sharply. Why? First, Trump has emboldened Putin. Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin and emphasized improving relations. He even invited this war criminal to the United States. And now, Putin’s photo is hanging in the White House – a symbolic gesture that does not go unnoticed. In geopolitics, signals matter. They shape expectations about future support, consequences, and resolve. Second, credibility and trust have eroded. Trump has surrounded himself with russian-linked figures to such an extent that foreign intelligence agencies “fear sharing secrets with the U.S.,” viewing his administration as highly untrustworthy. Just a few examples: the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has expressed pro-russian views, spread conspiracies about alleged American biolabs in Ukraine, and blamed NATO for russia’s invasion. The FBI Director, Kash Patel, received a $25,000 fee from a russian film company that promoted pro-russian and anti-Western narratives. Third, support for Ukraine has effectively stopped. Instead of “ending the war in 24 hours,” he ended all of the assistance Ukraine was receiving from the United States. Just yesterday, JD Vance said that stopping funding for Ukraine was one of the proudest actions of the administration. So the devastation we are witnessing today is a direct consequence of these actions. History will remember this — and it will also remember those who supported it. All of these actions have changed incentives for russia: if the cost of aggression decreases, escalation becomes more likely. So what we are witnessing today is not random. It is the result of these choices. History will remember this — and it will also remember those who supported it. Link: open.substack.com/pub/romanshere…

Photos from hell? No, photos from hell could only be provided by Putin and Trump. Russian terrorists have launched a massive attack on Kyiv.

A question for @JDVance: are you proud of the Ukrainian children, women, and men killed by #russia in #Kyiv, #Dnipro, #Odesa yesterday/today, the destroyed homes, and the russian ballistic missiles that are reaching peaceful Ukrainian cities due to a shortage of Patriot missiles?

1/7. We Americans have a hard time seeing ourselves in the world, and so even when we want to criticize our fascist oligarchs we fail to see the international networks of which they are nodes. politico.com/newsletters/po…

Donald Trump said he would eliminate inflation day one. Now, everything is more expensive.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

On the night of April 16, Ukrainian Defense Forces' strike UAVs hit two Iskander SRBM bases in Crimea, a workshop and warehouse belonging to "Rubikon" in the Donetsk region, as well as enemy oil depots and SAM systems. Among the air defense targets destroyed were the Buk-M1, Osa-AK, and Pantsir systems, along with a Tunguska mockup. In total, 16 Russian targets were struck throughout the night.

What happens in the hours after Russia’s deadliest attack in Ukraine this year? @aidan_stretch looks at the smashed cars and windowless buildings left by a massive missile and drone barrage, as Ukrainians come together to rebuild.

2022 into 2026🫡 War changes people both physically and emotionally. Especially those who fight it. Ukrainian defenders show their before/after photos🧵

“From morning until evening. Sometimes it can be two days.” - what one Ukrainian volunteer told me when I asked how long she stays after arriving to clean up in the aftermath of a Russian strike.
