“Europe is rich enough and strong enough to help Ukraine effectively, including with weapons and ammunition. There is no excuse for passivity.” - Donald Tusk Prime Minister of Poland So, Wake up, leaders..!

🚨 🇺🇸 Breaking: An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman will lead the great US military to ruin."

1,500 days since Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine. What was meant to be a fast win has turned into a disaster for the aggressor. Ukraine is not only defending itself. It is defending Europe's freedom. Europe must hold firm and stand with 🇺🇦 until full victory.

States have authority to regulate the time, place and manner of federal elections. There is no statute that authorizes the executive branch to determine who is entitled to vote in federal elections. I sued to protect Illinois' fundamental voting rights: bit.ly/3OlRldo

They can call me whatever names they want. I will never stop fighting for the right to vote and against voter suppression.

Kherson. Absolute horror. russian fascists are dropping aerial bombs on residential neighborhoods. And the world is still watching. Every moment of silence gives Moscovia a vote of confidence.

I spoke with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex today. At the very moment of our conversation, the Russians attacked Ukraine yet again – hundreds of “shaheds” and dozens of missiles against our cities and communities. In fact, the attack has been ongoing in waves since last night, and at least five regions have already been targeted. Not a single hour of peace for our people, and this is Russia’s response to our proposal for an Easter ceasefire. Essentially, the Russians have only intensified their strikes, turning what should have been silence in the skies into an Easter escalation. This certainly cannot be ignored, and I am grateful to everyone in the world who does not remain quiet about it. I spoke about the negotiation process and our work with the American team. I also expressed gratitude for the assistance in returning our abducted children and for all the humanitarian aid the Vatican has provided to our people, particularly during this difficult winter. We also discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. I wished His Holiness and all those celebrating Easter this Sunday a blessed holiday and peace. Of course, we would be glad to welcome His Holiness to Ukraine on an apostolic visit. And I am especially grateful that the Pope remembers Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, and prays for peace for our nation.

More good news for Russia.

And just like that…the straits of Hormuz open.

No Tax On Tips

@ShaykhSu... China calling out Trump for creating a global crisis out of nothing in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices skyrocketing. Weapon manufacturers getting filthy rich. Lives being destroyed. Everyone wants to rush into war because it makes some people extremely rich. The beautiful future without wars is right there waiting. These bullies think they’re doing the human race a favor by fighting and killing each other. Sit down and talk. Please. The “war is good business” era is dying a slow death. #StraitOfHormuz #NoMoreWars #ArmsProfiteers #TalkNotFight #BeautifulFuture

BREAKING: CHINA DESTROYS TRUMP Trump: We need $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz China's FM Senator: But the Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war? The root cause of this disruption is your illegal military operations against Iran. You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING”

@FurkanGozukara Pete is now showing his true color.

BOMBSHELL: A retired US Major General goes on live TV and explicitly calls Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth a potential war criminal. He confirms that the Pentagon's plan to bomb Iranian civilian infrastructure is a blatant violation of international law. The Hague is waiting.

Ukraine has received a $1.3 billion grant from Japan – the country’s second such disbursement funded by profits from frozen Russian assets under the G7’s ERA initiative. kyivpost.com/post/73186

🇺🇦🇷🇺 This is the kind of innovation Russia didn’t plan for A Ukrainian improvised “kitchen drone” with a shotgun just took down a Russian UAV, simple setup, brutal effectiveness, nothing fancy but it works Cost of a shotgun shell? around $0.30, taking out drones worth thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, that’s the kind of math that changes a war real fast

Russia still hasn't been able to export oil from their Primorsk and Ust Luga ports since Ukraine began their drone attacks 10 days ago.

BREAKING: Ukrainian forces are attacking Russian vessels in the Mediterranean Sea out of new bases they’ve established in Libya. 200+ Ukrainian soldiers have arrived in Libya according to Radio France Internationale (RFI). The French public broadcaster's article reveals details of a covert Ukrainian military presence in Libya as part of a broader "shadow war" between Ukraine and Russia on the African continent. More than 200 Ukrainian officers and technical experts have deployed in western Libya with the explicit approval of the Tripoli-based Government of National Unity (GNU) led by Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibah. They operate from three main sites: - The Air Force Academy in Misrata - A drone launch facility in Zaouia - A coordination center near Tripoli International Airport In exchange for their being allowed to hit Russian ships, Ukraine provides drone training to Libyan forces, with potential longer-term deals on arms supplies and investment in Libyan oil. The presence is linked to Ukrainian operations targeting Russia’s shadow fleet. RFI sources claim Ukrainian forces launched attacks from Libyan territory on March 3rd, striking the Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz and in December 2005, striking the oil tanker Kandil, which RFI links to the death of a high-ranking Russian intelligence officer Andrey Averyanov and several other Russian intelligence officers on board.
