Russia will pay for its infinite war crimes in Ukraine. This will go way beyond the sociopath Putin. Russian citizens will pay, not the Kremlin. Russians will pay to rebuild Ukraine no matter how expensive it is or how long it takes #SlavaUkraïni #ZelenskyyWarHero

@AnnaFromUA_YT Love the updates Anna. May the Russian fuel crisis be the final straw that breaks Putin. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

⚡ Putin’s ‘three-day war’ spirals. Blackouts, empty pumps, and soaring prices across Russia. Kremlin feeds Moscow, starves the regions. This isn’t strength—it’s collapse. Share the truth. #StandWithUkraine, #RussiaIsCollapsing, #MakeRussiaSmallAgain, #RussiaGasolineCrisis.

@nexta_tv May the Russian fuel crisis be the final straw for Russians to realize they must get rid of Putin. Even if they do, it's likely too late. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Putin’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since the start of the war Even according to the official data from the pro-Kremlin pollster VTsIOM, it dropped to 65.1% by July 12 — the lowest figure since the start of the full-scale war. The Russian dictator’s approval rating has been declining for four consecutive weeks amid the fuel crisis. Over the past month, his approval has fallen by 5.3 percentage points. That is a steeper decline than after the mobilization announcement in the autumn of 2022 and the start of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ operation in Russia’s Kursk region in 2024. Everyday problems are beginning to undermine trust in the entire system of governance.

@blue_eyedKeti Not since the Holocaust have we seen such inhumanity. Russians must be held accountable for what they have done in Ukraine.

The longer I live, the more I see and hear, the better I understand how fragile human destiny truly is. Today you are fed, content, and sleeping on your own sofa, while ahead of you wait difficult times that you don't even suspect, yet they are already waiting for you… We Ukrainians have traveled a long road, a specific stretch of these hard times, and one can only guess where the end is and what it will be for each of us. Before the war, I often heard that everything in life is in our own hands, and that we are the masters of our fate. But what do you tell yourself when you are forced to evacuate your home? When your hands are powerless to influence anything, except to pack your belongings and leave the place where you lived, the place where you had hoped to grow old? Old age itself is a wretched phase of life. Right now, I can only judge it by the stories of those elderly Ukrainians who speak of how quickly life has flown by-how in their hearts they are still eighteen, even if their bodies are worn out by time. Evacuation… It is very rare to see posts like this, or the faces of those people on Twitter/X, who are leaving their homes against their will, driven by external circumstances-when the fighting is just too close, when the russian is just too close.

@NatalkaKyiv Decades of disinformation and Russian state propaganda works. Russians, for the most part, seem to have no ability to think for themselves or to recognize the wrong in their actions, or that the Nazis are actually themselves. Karma is coming for Russians. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Russians just don’t experience cognitive dissonance. Proof 🔽 “In one week, 103 ships were sunk. They sent them out like canaries to be slaughtered. … Vladimir Vladimirovich, victory will be ours.” — Evgeny Golman

@bayraktar_1love Think it's bad in Russia now? Give it a few more weeks. Russian fuel crisis should be the catalyst that leads Russians to get rid of Putin. Still, there will be karma to pay for what Russians did to Ukraine.

Russians have started shooting each other in gas station queues. In Chelyabinsk, a man tried to cut the line at a gas station. When other drivers confronted him, he pulled out a traumatic pistol and opened fire. One person was hospitalized.

@ShaunPinnerUA Trump works for Putin. Zelenskyy works for Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Trump says Russia is ready to sign an agreement and end the war in Ukraine “in the near future.” Yet watch how quickly the narrative shifts back to “Zelensky is the obstacle to peace,” even as Ukraine continues to tighten the noose around Crimea and place Russia’s logistics under sustained pressure. You heard it here first. The battlefield is shaping the diplomacy, not the other way around. 🇺🇦

@NatalkaKyiv He's not in Russia but some Russians are realizing Putin is the problem. Give it a few more weeks of waiting days for gas that ruins car engines until more Russians begin calling for change. Karma is coming, and based on what Russians did to Ukraine, it should be severe.

🇷🇺 Finally! 🔽 “I believe the president should resign.” Russian journalist Dmitry Borisenko is calling for Putin and the State Duma to resign, saying that, in his view, it is the only way to prevent civil war and the collapse of Russia.

@AnnaFromUA_YT Love the updates Anna, and love seeing Russia's military collapsing in real time. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

💥 Ukrainian drones struck Novorossiysk—on Russia’s own Black Sea coast—where the remnants of the Black Sea Fleet fled after losing Moskva and the fleet headquarters in Sevastopol. According to satellite imagery, a 62-meter Russian vessel with a helicopter landing pad has now been sunk. The ship took part in the 2018 attack on Ukrainian naval boats. Justice has caught up with it. #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsCollapsing #MakeRussiaSmallAgain #CrimeaIsUkraine

@NatalkaKyiv if the Russian government tries to stop people from waiting for gas or complaining about the fuel crisis, then the revolution will happen that much sooner. Russia is about to go through some much needed change.

The long lines at gas stations don’t exactly scream “thriving economy”… But the Russian authorities found a way to monetize them. 😎

@jurgen_nauditt Russians have brought this karma upon themselves. Give Ukraine everything she needs to defend herself.

In Russia, just as here in Penza, the scramble for gasoline is getting worse and worse—and the world is enjoying it.

@Gerashchenko_en Russian Z-blogger Golman is delusional if he thinks Ukraine wants Russian oil. Ukraine is striking Russian oil refineries to end Russia's ability to systematically destroy entire Ukrainian villages until nothing is left, which is what Russians have done for years.

Russian Z-blogger Golman on the current state of things in Russia: Moscow came under heavy attack again today. Air defenses failed to intercept everything. Oil refineries are being destroyed. Russia cannot repair them without foreign spare parts. Domestic machine-tool industry is "f*cked." Everything is bought from China.

@NatalkaKyiv As an American, it's surprising to see how reluctant many Russians are to openly blame Putin even as he sends Russia into total economic disaster. Why aren't more Russians screaming for Putin's removal? In a few more weeks they should be as the Russian fuel crisis gets worse.

This Russian ‘village philosopher’ is onto something 🔽 “There are no other choices: either come together and change things, or leave [the country]. Fight or flight.”

@NatalkaKyiv I wonder how long it will take for their humor to turn into outrage that Putin has destroyed Russia?

😂 Popular Russian blogger ZERGULIO made a post mocking Russia’s fuel crisis, and Russians responded with some of the funniest comments. Enjoy! ZERGULIO’s post: “Someday, you’ll find an old crumpled disposable mask in the pocket of your puffer jacket and smile nostalgically as you adjust your bulletproof vest. Now it would be relevant to add: Dismounting from the horse.” Comments under his post 🔽 “Dismounting from the horse to make a phone call from a telephone booth to find out how the savings bank works for paying utility bills...” “Telephone booths have been gone for a long time. You’ll have to ride all the way to the cashier’s office and stand in line, writing your ticket number on the palm of your hand.” “Just don’t even think about parking your horse on a green area in Volgograd — the fine is 5,000 rubles. I don’t know how it is in other regions. Or cover the horse’s face with a cloth or something so they can’t identify it 😂😂😂” “...dismounting from the horse to send a carrier pigeon to the neighboring village.” “Someday, you’ll find an old bulletproof vest. And you’ll smile nostalgically as you switch on the Geiger counter and fasten your hazmat suit.” “Someday, you’ll find an old Geiger counter. And you’ll smile nostalgically, scratching your cephalothorax with your mandible.” “Spraying yourself with the cologne ‘The Spirit of Anchorage.’” “Have you seen the price of a horse? You’ll be lucky to afford a bicycle at most.”

@sarrah_bellus Bravo Sara Jacobs! More like her please for America.

About time and I am so proud of her for calling out Hegseth It takes a woman 👍👏👏👏❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@RCEY28 bad driving imo, no need to shift so frequently (9 times) in the speed range she's in, no seatbelt and her own hair flapping into her eyes. I watched this expecting to see an accident, not wanting it to happen for her sake, but expecting it.

This girl is cruising down the highway in her stick shift, windows down, wind in her hair, belting out songs while she shifts gears without missing a beat. She looks genuinely happy and in control. Most people these days never learn how to drive manual. It takes real timing and coordination to get the clutch and gas right, especially when you’re just trying to have fun and sing along. Seeing her do it so naturally makes you realize how much of that skill is disappearing. Do you think driving stick is becoming a lost art, or do you still think it’s worth teaching people even if almost every new car is automatic?

@OlenaRohoza Putin owns Trump. Trump owns Vance. Any questions?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔U.S. Vice President JD Vance criticized Ukraine's offensive operations and urged Kyiv to focus on defense. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Vance called Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive a "strategic and tactical disaster," arguing that it had been launched under pressure from Western allies and the Biden administration. According to Vance, the White House now believes that, while negotiations continue, Ukraine should prioritize holding defensive positions rather than launching major offensives. He said the Trump administration considers this defensive approach to have produced "far more results." The vice president argued that focusing on defense has been more effective than costly offensives aimed at retaking territory. He also said such a strategy creates better conditions for negotiations and could help bring the war to an end.

@maria_drutska It's a matter of time before Russians realize that Putin is the source of all problems. The question is how much damage will they endure to the Russian economy before they get rid of Putin?

The Hunger Games for gasoline continue in Russia. 15 hours in fuel queues. Sleeping in line. Barely getting any petrol. #SpecialFuelOperation

@MaryBensonEaton @frontlinekit Agreed, very impressive. Keep it up! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

@frontlinekit Very impressive. Getting the job done!

Hi, I'm British volunteer Richard Woodruff and this is my dog Tosiya 🐶 And behind me is a TRUCK full of fully unjammable drones my team just built, it will be used to destroy HUNDREDS of russian logistics trucks/fuel tankers and I think that's kind of cool. 😎 How about you?

@ZelenskyyUa Lindsey Graham was pro-Ukraine, and for that reason alone I will thank him for being outspoken about the need to support Ukraine. RIP Senator Graham.

Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer. He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week. A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders. America and the world have lost a determined leader. Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

@HQNewsNow ICE routinely violates our Constitutional rights. They are armed gestapo thugs doing Trump's dirty work. ICE and MAGA are a cancer to America.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire: For the Salgado family, life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by a unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. We will use all of our resources to pursue an independent and transparent investigation.
