This is a Ukrainian village Liutivka this morning, after Russian drones bombed it. On 2nd day of a ‘ceasefire’. This is why we don’t believe in deals with Russia .

Finland’s president, Alexander Stubb, now says “the tide has turned” and “we need Ukraine more than #Ukraine needs us.” Zelensky is no longer pleading for help on behalf of his people. Kyiv now offers the world weapons that work. Hot off the press 👇 nypost.com/2026/05/09/opi…

Weak, powerless and disillusioned man. He knows it will only get worse from here for him and for his country. Russia has no future.

Confirman nuevo contagio por hantavirus en Bariloche, Argentina El país registra 101 casos de hantavirus en la temporada actual, la cifra más alta en seis años y con una letalidad del 31,7%. Las autoridades investigan si el origen del brote tuvo lugar en un crucero del Atlántico, donde ya hay siete contagios confirmados.

Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones penetrated roughly 1000 km of Russian airspace to hit a Russian Navy Karakurt-class corvette operating in the Caspian Sea. The Karakurt had been launching Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukraine.

Since the start of the day, the Russian army has been attacking Ukraine in every form – with attack drones, missile strikes, shelling and assaults along the front line, and the use of aerial bombs. In just the time from midnight through the morning, there have already been around 100 attack drones, dozens of assault actions on key frontline directions, as well as dozens of air strikes. Significant damage to civilian infrastructure has been recorded in the Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kherson regions. There have also been strikes on the Ukrzaliznytsia locomotives and infrastructure in several regions. Ukraine’s energy system remains a constant Russian target. All of this shows that Russia is not seriously considering a ceasefire, and that the only thing that continues to concern the Russian leadership is a short-term silence on Red Square. Russia continues to kill people while being completely irrationally obsessed with only a few hours of silence in one part of Moscow. Ukraine will act justly – day by day. We proposed a ceasefire starting at midnight on May 6. Yesterday and today, Russia has violated this ceasefire regime. In a mirror response to Russian strikes, we will continue our long-range sanctions. And in response to Russia’s willingness to move toward diplomacy, we will proceed along the path of diplomacy. We need concrete steps to end this war, and peace will still be achieved – we are working toward that. The only question is how much time will be lost because of Russia’s madness. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

More than 70% of Europeans believe the European Union should distance itself from the United States and “go its own way” According to a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, 73% of respondents think that after decades of close alignment with the U.S., Europe should “go its own way.” In addition, 58% of participants do not consider the United States a reliable partner for the EU.

The Kremlin has named the foreign guests for May 9 The list is, to put it mildly, very modest. Among the nine guests are two leaders of the unrecognized quasi-states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, three representatives of Republika Srpska — an entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina — as well as the illegitimate usurper Lukashenko. Among actual heads of state, only the Sultan of Malaysia and the president of communist Laos. And Fico… Fico will be in Moscow, but he won’t attend the parade. For comparison — in 2005, the Moscow parade was attended by leaders from all over the world. There were heads of state from the United States, Germany, France, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Italy, the United Kingdom, post-Soviet countries, as well as the UN and UNESCO secretaries-general. Now it all looks rather pathetic.

Until this criminal is convicted for his terrible crimes,just like the fascists in Nuremberg in 1946,and until Russia assumes full responsibility for what it has done with its aggression in🇺🇦since 2014 (incl. the genocide of🇺🇦 children),there will never be lasting peace in Europe

INCREDIBLE! Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post. Congrats!!

Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President @ZelenskyyUa today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Drone attack on Moscow five days before Putin's parade. 🔥🔥🔥

One of Russia's most popular bloggers says that the Russian elite are about to oust Putin, replacing him with a weak pro-western puppet, ushering in (once again) a new Gorbachev-esque time of perestroika to convince the west to remove sanctions, while in the background warring clans will battle over the nation's (Putin's) wealth. Maxim Kalashnikov further cites that not only the armed Russians returning from the front will descend the country into violent chaos, but that interethnic violence will explode.

A drone hit Moscow just five days before Russia’s May 9 Victory Day celebrations – the day the Kremlin has turned into one of its main propaganda pillars. Now the war Russia brought to Ukraine is coming back to where it was launched from. Welcome home.

🔴 European intelligence reports potential Russian coup involving Sergei Shoigu. According to CNN, the Kremlin has restricted Vladimir Putin’s movements to fortified bunkers and intensified security for top military commanders following reports that the former defense minister maintains enough influence to lead an elite-driven assassination or power grab.

A Russian woman is going viral posting anti-Putin rants, today saying that the money they spend on war for a single day could fix the teeth of every pensioner in Russia, and that she doesn't need Ukraine and isn't giving her son's to "Putin's ass" just to come home in a bodybag. The woman then wishes the people of Ukraine "good health".
