Being a Ukrainian is : same day people are mourning their loved ones Russian missile killed in Kyiv , same day people are celebrating their loved ones finally are back home from Russian captivity , some of them after 4 years being imprisoned. The worst day. The best day.

@BBCWorld Another reason not to vote for them

Ukraine flag removed from council HQ by Reform bbc.in/4dLYU76

@sumlenny @UN Then Ruzzia apparently deletes the footage!!

💥russia: attacks the @UN cars with the UN regional head inside. 🤷‍♂️The UN: “we don’t know who attacked us” 🤦‍♂️Ukraine: it was Russia! 🤡The UN: we don’t know! 🤭Russia publishes a video of the attack, recorded by their operators. 😳The UN: somebody has attacked us, we don’t know!

Omg IT’S TRUE ! they are finally home !! 205 Ukrainian defenders are back home from Russian captivity. Finally ❤️‍🩹

Ukrainian air defense just shot down Russian drone over Kyiv suburbs !

Finally back home . For some of them - after horrifying 4 years of captivity in Russia

A knitting pattern? No. These are the attack routes of approximately 1,600 Russian drones and missiles within a 24-hour period. For over four years, Ukraine has been defending Europe—alone—against the Russian murderers.

Russian soldiers drove civilians with children onto a minefield and then attacked them with grenade launchers. Tetiana from Kherson is 36 years old. She is telling this story so the world knows the truth — how Ukrainians try to escape occupation and the horrors Russian forces inflict on civilians. She is an ordinary woman: a mother and a doctor. Before the war, her family had a normal life — a home, work, peace. Then the Russians came. At first, they fled to her parents’ village. But even there it became dangerous. Constant shelling, checkpoints, fear everywhere. When they heard rumors that children might be taken to Crimea, they decided to escape at any cost. Seventeen cars left together. Among them were Tetiana with her two children, ages 9 and 17, her parents, and family friends with small children. The cars had white sheets and signs reading “CHILDREN.” Russian soldiers at the checkpoint held them for a long time, then directed them onto a specific road. And once the convoy moved, the shelling began. A shell hit Tetiana’s car directly. The explosion threw her into the air and scattered people across the field. When she regained consciousness, she saw her son lying unconscious nearby. She barely remembers crawling through the field and dragging her injured child with her. She ran toward the nearest village screaming in pain. Her daughter and Ukrainian soldiers helped save the boy. They rushed out, carried him away, and drove him to a hospital. Her parents remained behind in the field. Because of continued shelling, nobody could reach them for more than a month. Later it was confirmed: both had been killed. Tetiana’s son remembers nothing — he was unconscious. Her daughter remembers everything, but refuses to speak about it. And honestly, who could blame her? Every time I read stories like this, my heart breaks. And the question remains: after this, how can anyone still speak about a “brotherly nation”? No. These are crimes. And there can be no forgiveness for them.

@igorsushko Ruzzian air quality standards must be incredibly low

Russia media coverage of the burning refinery: "Oil rain follows attack on oil refinery in Ryazan" "Air quality in Ryazan meets standards after the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack"

🧵 💥 Russia: Ukraine struck the Ryazan Oil Refinery, one of the largest in the country with annual output of 17 million tons, representing 5% of Russia's total refining capacity.

"Anna was our little sunshine. A bright, kind, smiling, very active girl. She wanted to know everything," said Pavel, the father of Anna Sapun. The girl's life was taken by a Russian bombardment of Odesa. She died on the night of April 6, 2026, when the enemy launched a massive attack on the city. Her mother, Daria, was also killed nearby. They didn't manage to reach the shelter in time. Anna was two years old, born on June 23, 2023, in Odesa. She was a long-awaited child in the family. She had just started attending kindergarten. She loved drawing and putting together puzzles. Anna Sapun is survived by her father, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

@BenGrahamUK Why do far right activists feel the need to travel to UK for this march if it is purely a domestic affair?

This is a disgraceful statement from the Prime Minister. The vast majority of people attending tomorrow’s rally are ordinary citizens who feel unheard and frustrated with how this country is being governed, by him. Labeling them as unpatriotic or far right agitators is a serious mischaracterisation of public sentiment. It's clear for all to see, Keir Starmer hates British people.

@AUinUA Russia is an obscenity

Today, 15 May, has been declared a national day of mourning in Ukraine. Australia’s flag flies at half mast in honour of the victims who lost their lives after Russia’s large scale attacks. Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian cities continue today as families mourn their loved ones.

⚖️ 36 countries have already backed the creation of a special tribunal against Putin The Council of Europe is officially launching a special tribunal in The Hague over Russia’s crime of aggression against Ukraine. The initiative has been joined by Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, as well as Australia and Costa Rica. The tribunal will have the authority to investigate the actions of Russia’s top leadership, including Vladimir Putin.

🇺🇦A serviceman from Kherson, freed today after over 1,500 days in captivity, carried a photo of his wife and children close to his heart all this time. Overall, six Defenders from the Kherson region returned home in this prisoner exchange. Welcome back to Ukrainian soil, guys!

@NormalIslandNws He was likely a better Health Minister than the next one will be

I don't mean to upset you, but Wes Streeting's leadership challenge is likely to end in crushing humiliation because no one wants him (apart from Palantir). We could be witnessing the end of Wes Streeting's political career 😭😭😭

@WhiteHouse To be swiftly followed by Putin..... obviously

President Donald J. Trump departs Beijing following a historic summit, heading home to the United States. ✈️🇺🇸

@RabbiUkraine Trump obviously learned Something from the King of England

For the first time in history, the United States of America has officially declared a National Shabbat! Donald Trump, who is not Jewish but a Christian, signed a special proclamation highlighting the significance of Shabbat and the Jewish community’s contribution to American history This is a very powerful and beautiful gesture of respect for Jewish tradition. Because Shabbat is a time when a person pauses in their constant rush of daily tasks, gives thanks to the Almighty for everything, prays, and spends time with family, reflecting on and analyzing their life, away from the noise of gadgets, work chats, TikTok, Reels, and other distractions It is especially significant that such a decision is made by the leader of the world’s leading nation, who himself belongs to a different religion. This is proof that genuine respect for the faith and traditions of another people can unite people! In a world where there is so much division and hatred, such steps demonstrate mutual respect and freedom of religion, which are the foundation of a healthy society! May the Almighty bless America, Ukraine, and Israel, and all people of good will!

@EricLDaugh Shame he dug up the rose garden .....

🚨 JUST IN: President Xi is GIFTING President Trump seeds of roses found on the sacred ground of Zhongnanhai Democrats are furious! 47 walking away with deals AND gifts XI: "The president was interested to learn all about that, including the Chinese roses, which he looked at. And I agreed to send the seeds for these roses to the president as a gift." TRUMP: "I love it. That's great. I want to thank you very much!"

@Jimbojones95255 @svitlanaza I read today that more Ukrainians died in Mariupol than in Gaza - and Gaza has 3 times greater population

@svitlanaza Ukriane lucky Russia doesn’t bomb Ukraine like the U.S. and Isreal does, otherwise Ukraine would be another Gaza

A Swedish businessman planning snack production in Ukraine got a message today from his 🇺🇦 partner: "Ru. missile destroyed my home, so lets postpone the meeting. But I will still send the test results, just a bit later". He comments: Even under missiles, you keep your word.
