This isn’t just a soldier. This is a legend. 471 days of hell without rotation. Serhii "Wind" Tishchenko, a combat medic of Ukraine’s 30th Brigade, held a position near Soledar from August 13, 2024 to October 28, 2025 — just a few hundred meters from russian forces. 1/6⬇️

@saintjavelin Ofrezcan un traductor personal pagado por elxestado....

The idea that Ukrainian state officials should not be obligated to know the state language is completely detached from reality.

@bayraktar_1love Solo por molestar: Sería posible un dron que se pegara al casco y sacara un timón que hiciera desviarse el barco? Digo hay veces que pasan por lugares donde unos cientos de metros pueden ser peligrosos. Despues te despegas y te vas.

@bayraktar_1love Drones remolcando petroleros? Dejen de molestar..... je je favor cambiar el nombre a drones remoras

⚠️ Maritime drones attacked up to three Russian-linked “shadow fleet” tankers near the Turkish coast in the Black Sea. The tanker Altura, previously damaged in an earlier attack on March 26, and Velora, which had arrived to transfer cargo, were both targeted again near Kilyos, north of Istanbul. Another tanker, James II (IMO: 9253909), was struck and sustained damage in the engine room.

Putin hinted to Kazakhstan that they would be the next victims of Russia, because they communicate in Russian there. The President of Kazakhstan immediately switched to the Kazakh language and the Russian self-proclaimed government was forced to turn on the translator 😀

A priceless joke is now circulating inside Russia that goes like this: One day, Putin visits a school and gives a speech about how excellent the Russian government is and how Russia is the greatest country in the world. At the end of the speech, he invites the students to ask questions. A boy stands up and says: “Hello, my name is Sasha, and I have two questions.” Putin replies: “Alright, go ahead.” Sasha asks: “Why did Russia invade Ukraine? And why haven’t we won the war yet?” At that exact moment, the lunch bell rings and everyone leaves for lunch. After lunch, the Q&A session continues and another student stands up. “Hello, my name is Boris, and I have four questions.” Putin says: “Yes?” Boris asks: “Why did Russia invade Ukraine? Why haven’t we won the war? Why did the lunch bell ring 20 minutes early? And where is Sasha?” #StandWithUkraine

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Cuando Rusia tiene que hacer redadas en obras por todo el país buscando gente a la que "persuadir" para alistarse, quizá es que la "Operación Militar Especial" de 3 días que ya va camino de los 4 años y medio no marcha tan bien como nos venden el Kremlin y sus lacayos 🤡

@Gerashchenko_en La años de horror...... sáquenla de la mesa por imbecil e insensible

Today, May 27, on the same day EU foreign ministers are meeting in Limassol to discuss the possibility of direct dialogue with Russia, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in the WDR 0630 podcast that she hopes the war in Ukraine will end "in 10 years - and in such a way that Ukraine is an independent, free, and sovereign country." This is Merkel’s third public appearance on the same platform within ten days, and it coincides with active discussions in Brussels over who could represent the EU in negotiations with Moscow. Merkel’s candidacy as an unofficial diplomatic actor has a fundamental problem: she is simultaneously the most acceptable and the least legitimate option. Her very appearance in the public space looks staged. She's made three public appearances on the same platform within ten days. On May 18, at the WDR Europaforum, Merkel said that Europe is "not using its diplomatic potential sufficiently", then, later that day, she rejected the idea of taking on an official mediator role. Today, May 27, on the WDR 0630 podcast, Angela Merkel said she hopes the war will end "in 10 years." Between these two appearances, Politico published an EU shortlist: Angela Merkel, Alex Stubb, Mario Draghi, and Putin’s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev publicly reacted to Merkel's remarks. The Kremlin is listening to her. The coincidence with the Brussels discussions is too much to be an accident. Merkel is acceptable for this role because she is not discredited like Schröder and not viewed as an enemy by Moscow like Kaja Kallas. But this is a passive quality: "not the worst option" is not the same as "the right choice." The Minsk process is not merely a "ballast," as Brussels diplomats softly describe it. It is a failure that Russia took use of to prepare for a full-scale invasion. Merkel herself admitted in a 2022 interview that Minsk gave Ukraine "time to strengthen itself." But this is simultaneously an admission that the negotiations were conducted not for peace, but for delay. If this is her diplomatic methodology, then Merkel is not suited for a role that requires a real settlement. Merkel is no longer in power - and she herself emphasized this as an argument against her official candidacy. But then another question arises: what is her mandate in the unofficial track? Who authorized her? To whom is she accountable? An unofficial channel without an institutional anchor is either a private initiative the Kremlin can ignore, or parallel diplomacy that undermines the EU’s official position. And, finally, today’s statement about "10 years" undermines Merkel's own claim that Europe is failing to use its diplomatic potential. If a person calling for more active diplomacy is herself setting a decade-long horizon, then this is either an absence of strategy or preparation of public opinion for a frozen conflict. Neither option makes Merkel a strong diplomatic actor.

@kozako01 Ruso

Qué clase de mal parido tenes que ser ? 🤬🤬🤬

@KaterynaLis @fflorosoler No espero mucho del naranjoso, por ahora a esconderse... no es lo mejor pero a como van mientras tanto mejor en refugios

Almost two hours of a Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump, and not one journalist asked about the urgent letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the administration and Congress regarding the critical shortage of air defense systems and missiles, amid intensified ballistic strikes on civilian targets by Russians in recent days. Attacks that are expected to intensify even further.

🤬🤬🤬 Maldita escoria rusa . Los rusos dispararon con lanzacohetes a un parque infantil en Jersón. Estaban los papás con sus dos hijas de 3 y 6 años. El padre no sobrevivió; la madre y los niños resultaron gravemente heridos. En las imágenes se ve cómo llevan a la niña de 3 años al hospital. Le falta un ojo Grita: "No quiero". El padre fallecido tenía cuatro hijos.

@pronounced_kyle @ChrisO_wiki Sugerencia 1 buscar que satélites con control están en órbitas cercanas y con combustible suficiente y negociar un "accidente" obviamente remunerado.....

This is wild... Russia seems to be threatening a *commercial* satellite that provides imaging services to Ukraine: ▸ starting about two weeks ago, Russia started maneuvering five (!) of their classified satellites to the same orbital inclination as the ICEYE satellite ▸ these burns were big, on the order of 100 m/s, clearly using chemical propulsion given the speed of the burns — very expensive and deliberate maneuvers ▸ as of last Friday, all five Russian satellites are now co-planar, at ~97.8° inclination, with three of ICEYE's satellites, and aligned in other orbital elements (e.g. RAAN) that make it clear they're specifically targeting this set ▸ I am a little skeptical that Russia is specifically targeting -X36 — there are two other satellites at the same inclination/RAAN (-X37 and -X38) — but the Russian sats are now all within striking distance of -X36, which is why people are concerned about it specifically; the closest cross-track distance is an estimated 500 meters (!!), all while the satellites are orbit 550 kilometers above Earth ▸ Russia has unleashed a cyberattack on a commercial satellite before (Viasat), and it is official Russian policy that commercially-owned infrastructure that aids in military efforts "may be legitimate target[s] for a retaliatory strike.” ▸ there's speculation that this could be a precursor to an RPO mission (meaning: physically grabbing the satellite or some other kind of non-kinetic attack like blinding/jamming) Worth tracking closely. And unfortunately more evidence that space is militarizing, fast.

Russian artillery shelling of Kherson killed a man. His wife and two daughters, aged six and three, were injured - they suffered blast injuries and shrapnel wounds. The family was at a children's playground at the moment of the attack. Horrible.

@maria_avdv @JuliaDavisNews Alguien notó que en el e treno inferior derecho el camión y un letrero pintan la bandera de Ucrania.... feliz coincidencia

A banner of David holding Goliath’s head remained untouched above the ruins of Lukianivka after brutal Russia’s strike on Kyiv. Everything around it burned. But not David.

Odesa is where russian n@zis executed civilians today. Never forget that it’s not just Putin. It is russia. It is who they are. They won’t change with new leader. This is russia. This is what russia values. This is what russia exists to do. They value nothing but myth of their own greatness. They don’t value life. They don’t value friendship, compassion, kindness, decency. They exist to destroy. That is their entire value system no matter if Putin lead them or Stalin or Tzar. They will never allow peace because basic human values like peace have no meaning for them.

12/ This was enacted to protect civilians from being attacked. By disguising their military vehicles as civilian ones, the Russians are making it more likely that the Ukrainians will attack civilians by mistake, resulting in unnecessary civilian suffering. /end

Kherson. The daily russian human safari continues. This morning, a russian drone deliberately struck a civilian car. Again. A 65-year-old man is in critical condition with catastrophic injuries. And every damn day, the so-called civilized world ignores russian terror.
