The simple fact that is undeniable, is that Russia attacked and invaded Ukraine. Everything else is a byproduct of that. I'm going to stop responding to idiots who keep trying to justify what's happening in Ukraine or inside of the war right now. Idiots are waste of time.

These friends were out of town last weekend during my birthday, so they surprised me with a second birthday! Is this even a thing? If not, it should be! Thank you for not letting this day pass without celebration, these gifts were amazing!

@_walkeran The movie itself was quite good, but it won't age well like classics such as "Gladiator"

@JohnnyFDK IWent to cinema yesterday, surprisingly it was an amazing movie. Christopher Nolan delivered again! A solid 9/10. Ellen Page plays a malnurished soldier, who gets left behind and is killed after 1 minute 😅

In the first 2 minutes of The Odyssey (2026) instead of setting the scene of ancient Anatolia, the first thing you see and hear is woke DEI Hollywood having Travis Scott narrate in a Black Poets Society voice, then a short haired Transgender boy as the Greek Solider delivering the Trojan Horse. Some of you may celebrate this thinking it's so woke and liberal or that it's great that trans and black actors get the spotlight in Hollywood, but it was just liberal bs that added nothing to the plot and was just virtue signaling.

@SNahins I think it's two fold. One is that their country and future is being invaded, and that they want to see the old Soviet-style leadership dismantled. And Mykhailo Fedorov is 35 years old, proven to be smart and effective and honest, while Pete Hegseth has been a pos in every way.

What I find fascinating about Ukraine’s protests are the different demographics. You have the angsty nirvana loving teenagers attending a protest in support of the resigned Minister of Defense. Regardless of political views, no hipster in the US is going to rally for the SecDef.

@nafoviking Trying the candies 🍬 🇳🇴

I did a thing @JohnnyFDK

@wartranslated Pro-Russians will claim that Victoria Nuland instigated it by handing out cookies and cardboard, and that these protests are all American CIA backed. 😅

Massive protests hit Ukraine today over the decision to dismiss Defense Minister Fedorov. Demonstrations are happening in Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Cherkasy, and Kryvyi Rih. While Russians say "we are just small people, we can't change anything," Ukrainians take to the streets with cardboard-box signs to fight for their rights.

I hope he is reinstated. I'm sure that General Syrskyi asked Zelensky to remove him because of disagreements, but in my opinion, Fedorov's young 35 yr old energy and outlook has helped Ukriane's military achieve great breakthroughs in 2026. Syrskyi is a great old school commander, but needs to allow the new tactics to help win the war going forward. They either need to get along, or General Syrskyi needs to allow Fedorov to do his thing. Not reinstating him would be a huge mistake.

In my opinion, Mykhailo Fedorov was the best defense minister. He was highly effective and efficient, talented, systemic, with out-of-the-box solutions, an effective and productive team. During his very short time on this position, Mykhailo accomplished so much for Ukraine's defense and our victory. Thank you, @FedorovMykhailo. I'm certain that you will continue working for Ukrainian resilience.

@OlenaHalushka I was also surprised to see him being replaced, I was hoping that Ukrainians knew something I didn't. But it seems like this restructuring shouldn't have included him. I hope Mykhailo Fedorov is reinstated or given an equally useful position.

"We just started winning the war," a protester points out. Let a cardboard July begin. #Fedorov 📷 Hromadske.

@nafoviking Can't say it wasn't exciting though, like dodging landmines. 😅

@JohnnyFDK Cant imagine driving a bike here. Potholes everywere🫣

This was sThis was supposed to be the nicest driving road in Kyiv, Ukraine. But honestly, aside from a few sections of freshly paved highways, most of it was filled with potholes, and not suitable for a naked/sports bike. It was overall a fun trip, and I'm glad I went, but it's not the Southern California canyons, or smooth roads I was hoping for. What's next? Head West? Upgrade to an ADV? upposed to be the nicest driving road in Kyiv, Ukraine.

@SentinelOnenow Thanks!! Having my tires properly inflated helped a bit as well. 😂

@JohnnyFDK Good video,Johnny.And you are getting your confidence on the bike.BTW,i 1st heard the name Taras Shevchenko through the band New Order. It was an album they recorded at the Ukrainian National Home in the East Village,New York.I then read up on who he was.Just an FYI. Cheers.

I took my first big solo motorcycle trip ever in Ukraine! 5 hours to and from Kyiv - Kaniv on a naked bike to visit the gravesite of Taras Shevchenko. Starting at a random McDonald's and ending with some BBQ. Full video is on my YouTube channel now! It was an adventure!

@zstantekin @wartranslated Yes, and Russia isn't illegally occupying Crimea and the Donbas either then right?

@JohnnyFDK @wartranslated Georgia has no territory under occupation.

A Russian tourist who arrived in Georgia for a holiday is feeling a little bit uncomfortable due to the ongoing protests in the country.

@MichaelEging Thanks!! It's been fun! I hope you watched the full video on YouTube as well. youtu.be/QUiC6Yg9rDc?si…

This is freaking awesome!

@FedorovMykhailo Thank you for your amazing service Sir, you will be remembered as the turning point of this war. Thank you for everything you've done. I'm sorry to see you go, and trust, and hope there is a plan on continuing your legacy and great work in the future.

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense. Here is what our team managed to achieve: 1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces. 2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones. 3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea. 4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line. 5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat. 6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal. 7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system. 8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders. 9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%. 10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles. 11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps. 12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles. 13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military. 14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan). 15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities. 16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract. 17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%. 18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets. 19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months. 20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production. 21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies. 22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield. Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience. Thank you all for your support! I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization. To be continued.

@vsem_kirdyk I've met hundreds of Russians while traveling aboard that all love Putin. Almost everyone over 35 was in support of him. It would only take 1% of Russians to be 1 Million strong, not even that amount will get together and stop being selfish.

@JohnnyFDK Вы так наивны, просто удивительно, при диктатуре невозможно "собраться и свергнуть Путина", вот как вы себе это представляете? И поверьте мне, россиянину, путина ненавидят все!

It's been almost 5 years of war and this is literally the first time I've seen any Russian say this. I know we're not perfect in the USA, but MILLIONS of Americans have called for Trump's resignation since the invasion of Iran. You can try and defend Russians by claiming they can't protest because they too are "victims" and can't protest, but that's even more reason for them to get together and overthrow Putin, instead of cheering him on as he destroys homes in neighboring countries. The truth is, Russians are just selfish people and don't care about others or wars as long as they are winning. When they start losing, and things come home to them, all the sudden, they start to care.

@smersh_chainsaw Yes, full video is here: youtube.com/watch?v=QUiC6Y…

@JohnnyFDK did u film more?

@Anastasiya1451A It's insane that Russians care more about being slightly inconvenienced than the death and destruction of homes without morals for years.

@JohnnyFDK It only required long queues and high gas prices... Not humanistic or justice feelings.

@meme_ec Everyone hates those plastic caps in Europe. Good on Zeleneskky. =)

Born to be a rebel. (Will this decrease Ukraine's chances to join the EU?)
