Sometimes it’s really hard to keep up.
No electricity since 5 am.
No heating.
No real forecasts when it will come back.
The situation with energy infrastructure is really bad now.
And it’s exhausting -
This constant uncertainty, this waiting.
But hope is still here.
And sometimes hope is the only thing we have left.

My aunt recently had electricity for only 50 minutes in an entire day. Her house is mostly cold, and outside there are unusually severe sub-zero temperatures for the south of Ukraine. They’re being saved by the kindness of the building’s owner, who turns on his generator and heats the place for at least 3–5 hours a day. Since she’s elderly and her husband is even older, almost all of their tiny pension payments go toward medicine.
Of course, the average American, Brit, or EU citizen cannot truly understand what it means to survive on such meager amounts with almost no electricity, no real heat, in freezing weather — when at 70 years old she still has to walk on icy streets looking for doctors and pharmacies.
We all try to help however we can.
But I’m asking you to show some real respect for Ukrainians who are surviving on the very edge of their strength — and to stop repeating shallow propaganda about “resilience” and how "victorious" it is when we strike Russia. There is no victory in this suffering.
There has to be a line somewhere — a point where human morality draws a boundary. Western values are supposed to be about people first. Yet in today’s descriptions of Ukraine, people somehow always end up playing the last and least important role.

Thankfully, that’s a scenario that no one ever needs to worry about. NATO has never attacked the Soviet Union or Russia and never will.

Russian Foreign Ministry: "If NATO decides to attack Russia, the response will be with all available means."

@Mongoose1269132 @DD_Geopolitics Do you think it's even less than that?

🇺🇦 Ukrainian forces tried to score another “online victory” yesterday, posting photos of what they claimed was a U.S. Patriot air defense system, covered with dozens of markings supposedly representing intercepted Russian missiles.
But the truth surfaced quickly — the pictures showed not a Patriot, but a Soviet-era S-125 “Neva” radar in its Polish SC modification, likely transferred from Poland’s old stockpiles.
The stunt came right on cue. Ukrainian and Western outlets recently reported a sharp drop in Patriot effectiveness against Russian ballistic missiles — from 37% to just 6%. Clearly, Kiev needed an urgent PR distraction.

@AdamKinzinger Sure, russian accounts use ukrainian nova to make fun of the US army.

From Russian accounts:
“US army in movies, vs US army in real life.”
Nice work Donald

@McFaul Your Ukrainian friends aren’t going to like your latest proposal 😏
Russian Market@runews
McFaul suggests swapping the territories of Russia’s new regions controlled by Ukraine for Kiev’s NATO membership.
English
Trump claims that Putin would have taken all of Ukraine if Trump weren’t President. This is complete nonsense. Ukrainian warriors, not Trump, have stopped Putin from taking Ukraine. And by not supporting new military aid to Ukraine, Trump is helping Putin take more Ukrainian land
English
@RedTeamLeader00 @McFaul They didn't, they signed a memorandum of understanding which is non binding but might lead to signing of the actual mineral deal in the near future
English
@McFaul When did Ukraine sign the Mineral deal Trump put forth?
Only thing I have seen is Zelensky rejecting the mineral deal.
English
Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine signed the “mineral deal” that Trump insisted on.
Both sides are not at fault for no progress in negotiations.
One side is. One person is. Putin.

@rynkrynk @Kasparov63 "Our children will go to school, to kindergartens – their children will sit in cellars" who said that?
Was that by any chance your president?

My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare’s makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU.
JD Vance@JDVance
Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.) It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person.
English
Mr. Vice President, Zelensky has been crystal clear that he is ready to sign the minerals deal. So enough with all wounded egos and need for apologies, and sign the damn deal. If it's a good deal for America, then its your job to get it done.
Antonello Guerrera@antoguerrera
Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
English
Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.
English
Even if you honestly think this, what U.S. national security objective is advanced by going on television and trashing Zelensky? I honestly don't get it, unless Trump was never interested in peace at all and will now use this debacle to walk away from mediation and just embrace Putin.
Saint Javelin@saintjavelin
Following public backlash against Trump after his meeting with Zelensky, a wave of U.S. officials - including the Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and Speaker of the House - simultaneously questioned Zelensky’s leadership, Ukraine’s negotiation stance, and accused Kyiv of “derailing dialogue.” Russian propaganda quickly amplified these claims.
English
President Macron:
"Russia is already aggressive towards the whole of Europe. It's started, it's intensified. It's putting North Korean soldiers on European soil. It's got a very strong army, it's attacking us on information, cyber, migration. And I can mention other things. It's destabilizing us, it's attacking our interests in Africa, it's provoking us, testing us at sea and in the air."

@JackPosobiec Not fair, after de-funding USAID elections in Ukraine may not go to plan

BREAKING: Trump calls for Ukraine to hold Presidential Elections as part of the peace deal, says Zelensky is deeply unpopular after savage war
English
Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine!
As an American, this is so embarrassing. To all Ukrainians, especially the families who have lost loved ones due to Putin's barbaric invasion and terrorism, I apologize.

Donald Trump about Ukraine not being invited to Saudi Arabia talks: "I heard, we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years. You should have ended it three years ago. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, everything, almost all of the land. And no people would have been killed."
English
So far I have seen zero evidence that Putin is willing to give one inch in order to negotiate a peace deal. All I see instead are ideas floated by the US of concessions that Ukraine, NATO, and US are supposed to make. Have I missed something?
English
Ive heard similar reports about this 3-stage peace proposal from colleagues in Kyiv.

🚨NEWS w/ @NanaSajaia - US/Russia 3 stage peace proposal would force new Ukraine elections: foreign diplomatic sources The US and Russia are proposing a three-stage peace plan, according to multiple foreign diplomatic sources close to the talks in Saudi Arabia. The plan includes a ceasefire, elections in Ukraine, then signing of a final agreement. Multiple foreign diplomatic sources tell FOX the US and Russia consider holding new elections in Ukraine to be a key condition for the success of the settlement process. This piece is certain to stir controversy, as Russia does not hold true elections and the Ukrainians balk at the prospect of installing a pro-Russia puppet president. 🚨 A US source familiar with the negotiations softens this claim – telling me people are “floating” the elections piece – and “it may be part of future talks, but not today.” 🚨 The White House has NOT YET COMMENTED - but is expected to soon. Ukraine also disputes the notion that Zelenskyy’s popularity is too low to win reelection, even without Russian interference, citing his refusal to sign anything in Munich. Multiple foreign diplomatic sources provided this readout from the Ukrainian side: “Putin assesses the probability of electing a puppet president as quite high and is also convinced that any candidate other than the current President of Ukraine will be more flexible and ready for negotiations and concessions. In turn, D. Trump is ready to accept any election result, including the possibility of election of a pro-Russian puppet. D. Trump and V. Putin consider the chances of the current President of Ukraine being re-elected as low.”
English
Which concessions are Rubio demanding from Russia? So far all we have heard about are concessions to be made by Ukraine, NATO, and US.
English
I don't remember Europeans getting a say in the signing of the Russia-North Korean security pact last year, which then led to 10,000 North Korean soldiers being deployed in a European war.
So, Russia doesn't get a say in NATO's decisions about membership.
