Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 1,550 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles. Over that same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased its crude oil sales to finance its war. Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go. I thank every leader who makes such decisions. This is what brings a dignified peace closer.

Something uncomfortable is happening in Hungary – and too few people are talking about it. The recent detention of Ukrainian bank employees carrying cash through Hungary was not a law enforcement operation and but an FSB style operation: heavily armed officers, disproportionate force, and reportedly even interrogations conducted in Russian. Inside the EU and NATO! I say this as someone who lived in Hungary. Hungarians used to be extremely sensitive about Russia. They remember 1956, when Soviet troops drowned their revolution in blood. Even hearing Russian spoken in public spaces could make people uncomfortable. Which is why it feels surreal to watch parts of the society completely forgot this history lesson and support a Russian agent in power. With elections coming and Péter Magyar polling well ahead of Orbán, there are already warnings about Russian “political technologies” being deployed. Ukrainians know these methods well. The EU should watch these elections very closely. Letting Russia steal it would be a huge blow.

It is day 4 of the @Paralympics, where Russian soldiers who invaded Ukraine are allowed to compete under the reinstated Russian flag. Here are some of their stories:

The Ukrainian team has been banned from wearing uniforms featuring a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics. The IPC claims the map is "political." At the same time, the Russian team includes former military personnel who participated in the illegal invasion. Russians are allowed to compete under their own flag, while Ukrainians are forbidden from showing their own territory. Beyond Absurd...

A Russian general texted his wife a photo of severed ears taken from Ukrainian POWs and promised to string them into a gift. Her response: "Like pig ears to go with beer." RFE/RL obtained the messages, and they reveal far more than one general's crimes. meduza.io/en/feature/202…

In 2025, civilian suffering from Russian attacks in Ukraine intensified sharply: according to Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), explosive violence killed 2,248 civilians and injured 12,493, a 26% rise in total casualties compared to 2024. On average, nearly 5 civilians (4.8) were killed or wounded per attack—up 33% from the previous year—despite fewer recorded incidents overall. The deadliest strike hit Dnipro on June 24, when missiles targeted a passenger train, homes, and schools, killing 21 people and injuring 314, including 38 children. These figures, drawn from English-language reports, highlight a worrying escalation in harm to civilians amid ongoing Russian missile and drone campaigns.

The IOC originally claimed they banned @heraskevych from the @Olympics under Rule 50 governing "political propaganda". When the claim his helmet was "political propaganda" failed under scrutiny, they changed the alleged breach to rule 40.2 - the helmet would distract from "focus on the field of play". His helmet became a distraction ONLY after @iocmedia made it a distraction. They caused the disruption, then they banned him for it.

Ukraine built a database naming 156,000 dead and 96,000 wounded Russian soldiers - with units, service numbers, and medical records. Updated weekly. Russia's response: block the site so its own citizens can't see it. euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/13/mos…

En tunne olympialiikettä kovin hyvin, mutta aika kyyniseltä vaikuttaa..
Vladyslav Heraskevych OLY@heraskevych

The International Olympic Committee is rotten from the inside. At the 144th IOC Session held in Greece from March 19 to 21, Shamil Tarpischev was re-elected as an IOC member until 2028. Shamil Tarpischev, a russian tennis player, coach, sports official, and President of the russian Tennis Federation. In the 1990s, he was a close ally of russian President Boris Yeltsin and led several state sports organizations. His 30-year tenure as head of the russian Tennis Federation would be unimaginable without state backing, as major sports federations in russia are tightly controlled by the government. Tarpishchev has a reputation as a person close to the Kremlin "elites", frequently appearing alongside putin at public events, particularly sports-related ones. In July 2022, after russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Tarpischev was awarded the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" II degree by putin’s decree. In autumn 2022, Tarpischev enthusiastically supported the idea of forming military units composed of russian professional athletes to commit atrocities in Ukraine. He stated, “Creating volunteer units from professional athletes is a good idea. I can’t say more at this point. We need to meet and discuss this proposal with its developers.” Despite this, just two weeks ago, Tarpischev was re-elected to the IOC. Footage shows the future IOC President warmly greeting him with a kiss and posing for a photo with a smile alongside an individual who openly supports russia’s war against Ukraine. Is this the IOC’s version of “solidarity” with Ukraine? russian scum who support the war have no place in the IOC. ❗️Tarpischev must be removed from his position in the IOC❗️

Ukrainan ulkoministerin lausunto olympialiikkeen päätöksestä sulkea ulos Skeleton-kelkkailija Vladyslav Heraskevytš. Yhteenvetona: Hän ei ole tyytyväinen..
Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦@andrii_sybiha

The IOC has banned not the Ukrainian athlete, but its own reputation. Future generations will recall this as a moment of shame. He simply wanted to commemorate fellow athletes killed in war. There is nothing wrong with that under any rules or ethics. The IOC intimidated, disrespected, and even lectured our athlete and other Ukrainians on how they should keep quiet about “one of 130 conflicts in the world”. The IOC has also systemically failed to confront the greatest abuser of international sports and the Olympic Charter — Russia. A country that started three invasions during the Olympic Truce in the past three decades, implemented the largest state-funded doping program, killed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches, and damaged 800 sports facilities in Ukraine. These are Russians who must be banned, not the commemoration of their victims. None of them are “neutral”. If the Olympic Creed says that “the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part”, then @iocmedia betrayed it completely by preventing @heraskevych from taking part and betrayed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia. We are proud to have Vladyslav who has not betrayed them. Thank you for your principles and bravery.

Että mitä?!? Ukrainalainen heitettiin olympialaisista, koska halusi kunnioittaa puolustustaistelussa kaatuneita muotokuvilla kypärässään. "Ilman heidän uhraustaan en olisi täällä", hän sanoi kaatuneista sotilaista ja pysyi päätöksessään olla sensuroimatta kypärää. Kaikki kunnia ukrainalaiselle urheilijalle, olympiapäättäjistä en niinkään tiedä. Kuvat esittävät urheilijoita ja valmentajia, jotka Venäjä on tappanut hyökkäyssodassaan. Olympialiikkeen mielestä kuvat ovat propagandaa.. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/12/spo…
