👎 Bad news: the “Butcha butcher” likely survived According to reports, the explosion occurred on April 28 — an explosive device was planted in a mailbox. Omurbekov, accused of crimes in Bucha, was reportedly not injured. Instead, 36-year-old officer Alexey Kuzmenko was killed — his relatives have confirmed his death. Locals believe the attacker may have “mixed up the entrances and placed the device in the wrong one.”

📉Russia's economic collapse is accelerating: 🔹Oligarchs are being begged by the Senate to bring money back from abroad 🔹The Kremlin is begging people to put cash savings into banks 🔹Sberbank is warning of difficult times ahead And drone sanctions will finish the job.🔥

What Russia is doing in Ukraine is a genocide. Moscow uses explicit genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing the Ukrainian identity, and their military is actively putting those exact words into practice every single day

Overnight, Russians continued to attack apartment buildings in Odesa. The summation of Russia's war effort now consists of sending missiles and drones onto sleeping Ukrainian families. If Putin's mother hadn't been the filthiest whore on Russia, he may have had a chance to be normal. @KremlinRussia_E

Ukraine Significantly Increases Attacks on Russian Oil Industry – Bloomberg. And Putin, the biggest idiot and loser of all time, is powerless. ▪️The number of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure reached its highest monthly level since December. This led to a drop in Russia's oil refining capacity to its lowest level in years. ▪️At least 21 Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, offshore facilities – including export terminals – and oil pipelines were recorded in April. ▪️During the same month, Ukraine attacked the Russian oil refining industry at least nine times – the highest monthly number since the beginning of the year. This reduced the average capacity of Russian oil refineries to 4.69 million barrels per day. This is the lowest level since December 2009, according to the analytics firm OilX. ▪️The data shows that Ukraine has returned this month to its strategy of repeated attacks on individual Russian refineries, a strategy it resumed at the end of 2025. This approach maximizes the damage to the attacked refineries and prevents a rapid recovery. ▪️Data also shows that Ukraine has intensified its attacks on the Russian oil pipeline network, hitting at least five pumping stations in April. While this is reminiscent of the attacks in late 2024 and 2025, this time Ukraine targeted oil pumping stations deep in the Russian interior, rather than facilities supplying export pipelines near the country's western borders.

Since early morning, Russia has been attacking Ukraine with drones. In Kharkiv and Chuhuiv, there are fires after Russian attacks on gas stations (civilian objects). More Russian drones are entering Ukrainian airspace, we are warned about a possible massive drone attack today.

🇫🇷 Macron is going to watch the French army exercises, where there will be simulations of battles with the Russians, — Le Monde 📍There will be simulations of battles at sea, in the air and on land. Assaults under the blows of swarms of drones will also be worked out. 📍The military leadership, in particular the Chief of the General Staff, calls on the army to be ready for a potential clash with Russia in the coming years. 📍France plans to create a new full-fledged division by 2027, capable of operating independently or as part of the NATO coalition. 📍By 2030, the reserves of kamikaze drones will increase by 400%, SCALP cruise missiles by 85%, and anti-aircraft missiles by 30%. 📍Macron proposed discussing the deployment of French strategic bombers in EU partner countries to strengthen European nuclear deterrence.

RUSSIA SMELLS BAD—Russia faces many of the same structural problems it criticizes elsewhere: demographic decline, high divorce rates, social dislocation, alcoholism, regional inequality, and a noticeable lack of long-term orientation among parts of its population. Russians have the resources to live like Norwegians. They choose the sty life instead. ⤵️ underfirenews.substack.com/p/russia-smell…

This is how ordinary Russians were cheering for Russian terrorists entering Ukraine to commit genocidal crimes. Putin and Russia must pay for their crimes.

❗️Finland will join the international drone coalition to support Ukraine by the end of spring. This was announced by Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen. The initiative is led by the United Kingdom and Latvia, and already includes 20 countries. The decision was made after lengthy discussions.

“This is probably the bravest woman I’ve ever met in my life,” her colleague said. Aliona Gramova (real name Olena Hubanova) was born in Yenakiieve, Donetsk region. She hosted on Radio Bit, Melodia, and Sport FM, and worked on TV channels Donetchyna TV, Region Donbas, and Dim. From 2021 she was a special correspondent for FREEDOM — Ukraine’s international russian-language broadcaster. She filmed, edited, and did live reports — always from the front lines. On October 23, 2025, while heading to document a russian strike on a gas station in Kramatorsk, a russian Lancet drone hit their car. Aliona was killed together with cameraman Yevhen Karmazin. She didn’t just cover the war. She lived it. We remember. We will never forgive.

❗️Russia is discussing with the US the easing of sanctions in exchange for a ceasefire without any security guarantees for Ukraine, — RBC-Ukraine source in the Ukrainian government. “They want to launch a ceasefire at some point and try, for example, to agree on a one-week truce. In return, they would partially lift sanctions. America would get headlines about ‘silence on the front,’ Putin would get partial sanctions relief and higher revenues. Essentially, it’s a ‘deal’ with no security guarantees for Ukraine — something that cannot satisfy Ukrainians.”

Before you is Andrii Mykhailovych Zemtsov, a lieutenant colonel of the Russian Aerospace Forces and senior navigator of the 44th Regiment (military unit 83122, Savasleyka). His hands are on the controls that guide “Kinzhal” missiles toward Ukrainian cities. And here is the most striking part. Zemtsov grew up in Ukraine. His childhood years were spent in Horodok in the Lviv region and in Starokostiantyniv in the Khmelnytskyi region, where he studied at School No. 2. Today, he is deliberately directing strikes at the very places where his own life once unfolded. He is the senior navigator of a MiG-31K — the aircraft that carries the Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” missile. Zemtsov is not just another Russian war criminal on a long list. He represents a particular level of cynicism. He is not simply following orders from far away — he is attacking the land of his own childhood. He bombs schools like the one he once attended. He destroys courtyards like those where he once played. He deprives children of a future in the same cities where he himself was once a child. This is not a failure of the system. This is the personal choice of an individual. Let everyone know this name. Let there be no place in the world where he can hide from responsibility. And the time will surely come when he will have to answer for what he has done.

Please don’t look away. This heartbreaking video was shared by locals surviving in Oleshky, where a real genocide is unfolding. The world should be screaming about this — not hiding in silence.

Medvedev: Russia annexed a part of Georgia, but Europe doesn't want to understand us or listen to us. Russia annexed Crimea, and now the Western world is rusophobic and we have an existential conflict with the West. (These are not direct quotes, but the gist of his speech).

Russia's mentality in a nutshell: [Q]: If European countries are quarrelling with America, and America is quarrelling with the whole world, how might this end? Medvedev: In short? With Russia's victory.

❗️Former President of Poland Andrzej Duda: “Zelenskyy did not flee, he was not afraid, and he was ready to give his life. I will never forget how he told me that he would not leave Kyiv. After all, the Russians wanted to capture Zelenskyy, and that would most likely have ended in his death.”

@kvistp Amazing

Tuapse refinery is a freaking wasteland

It is time for Europe to treat foreign-funded subversion as treason. If you take Russian money to help Moscow's war effort, you belong in prison. We are failing to prosecute these people, and that needs to change immediately
