@igorsushko Thankyou🙏🇺🇦🫡 I'm going to keep posting this until everyone reads it whether they want to or not. The only viable path is 1. Arm Ukraine to Win 2. Bankrupt Russia with Sanctions 3. Negotiate Peace Step 3 will never work unless 1 and 2 are achieved.

Budanov just told Putin to f*ck off with his May 9th „victory parade“ truce. — we all know what that means: Ukraine has planned a little surprise for Moscow 😁

Ukrainian drones are operating inside the Moscow region. Looks like a warmup for May 9.

MADYAR FINALLY DID IT. The Engels airbase went through absolute hell. And this was worse than all previous “Spiderweb” operations combined. Serhii Madyar’s special unit carried out such a powerful and precise strike that almost nothing of Russia’s strategic aviation at this airfield is left. Massive explosions simultaneously hit aircraft parking areas. • Su-34s, Su-35s are burning — and most importantly, strategic Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers (“Bears” and “Backfires”), which Russia actively used for massive missile strikes on Ukraine. • Secondary detonations of ammunition have been ongoing for hours. The sky over Engels has turned into a continuous inferno. • According to preliminary reports, more than 20–25 combat aircraft have been destroyed or seriously damaged, most of them fueled and loaded with missiles. Madyar and his “wolves” did what Russia feared most — they reached its strategic aviation deep in the rear. And they did it so fast that the Russians didn’t even have time to properly react. Russian Z-channels are already in hysteria. They are shouting about a “massive sabotage,” but even they struggle to hide the scale of the catastrophe. Engels is one of the most important airbases from which bombers took off to strike our cities. Now it’s burning.

🇫🇷 French President Macron has given BIGGEST SHOCK to Netanyahu 🔥 He said : "Lasting stability in Lebanon requires two things: Israel out of Lebanese territory, and an end to its land grabs."🔥👏 What a COURAGE, What a LEADER 🔥

Would you vote for this ticket in 2028? Yes or No

Applebaum: Of course Orban was authoritarian. The fact that he gave up power peacefully proves nothing by itself. What matters is what it took to beat him: 16 years in power, panic before the vote, and a campaign that felt to Hungarians like regime change. 1/

Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

@SanderRegter 🇺🇦🫡

Ukraine shot down another Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber worth $34 million over the Zaporizhia region last night, May 2.

The war in Iran has underlined Ukraine’s value as an ally. Its ingenuity on the battlefield, growing defence sector and economic potential make it a valuable partner - not a charity case. My column on why supporting them is in our long-term interest 👇 thetimes.com/business/econo…

@Mylovanov Now he trying to get a deal like Obama had but he tore it up ,full circle .

Applebaum: Trump clearly did not expect the Iran war to last this long. He seems to have imagined it would be easy. If people in the room told him otherwise, he ignored them. He knows very little about Iran and even seemed surprised by Hormuz and Iranian strikes. 1/

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

Another russian “Kalibr” carrier gone — Karakurt-class missile ship. Less terror. More balance.
