Who does this? Russians ... once a scum, always a scum (cволочи). For centuries the muscovite tsarists/soviets/russians were and are the habitual bastards (cволочи, svolochi) that do not care about human life to achieve their goals. #warcrimes #russiaisaterroriststate

Do not delay decisions on air defense for Ukraine! This is our main request to our partners after Kyiv suffered a night of horror. At least 10 people have been killed as a result of Russia’s brutal attack against the Ukrainian capital with all types of missiles and drones. Sadly, this number may further rise. Rescue teams continue their work. Russia targeted residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. War criminal Putin can only wage a vile and terroristic war against civilians, women and children. Because in his war against Ukraine’s Defense Forces he cannot achieve a single result. Such strikes are grave war crimes and we are informing all partners and international organisations about them, calling for accountability and strong responses. On the second day of my working trip to Japan, I will be informing all of my interlocutors about this strike and the need to increase pressure on the aggressor and support for the Ukrainian people. We demand strong international responses. Not only words of condemnation but concrete action to stop Russian terror. Decisions on air defense systems and missiles for Ukraine are needed right now, not later! Decisions to increase sanctions pressure on Russia are needed right now, not later! Decisions to increase support for Ukraine, including energy assistance, are needed right now, not later! I also want to particularly emphasise that it is immoral to justify Russian atrocities against Ukrainians by saying that Moscow acts in response to Ukraine’s long-range strikes against Russia. In this war, there is an aggressor and a country defending itself under Article 51 of the UN Charter. Russia has no right to make any strikes against Ukraine, while Ukraine has every right to respond, defend from aggressor, and strike any legitimate military targets in Russia. Do not equate an aggressor and a country defending from aggression. Do not justify atrocities that cannot be justified. This war is not only about Ukraine, it is about principles. And we need everyone in the world to be principled at this challenging time.

Chi parla ancora di "obiettivi militari" non vuole vedere la realtà. Lanciare missili balistici nel cuore di una città densamente popolata è una strategia deliberata. Solo una nazione marcia e malata può permettere al proprio governo criminale di fare queste cose senza ribellarsi

…This is a morning for Ukrainians, a morning for Ukraine, and this is what it is like in Kyiv right now. This is not the Donetsk region, where such things have already become a regular occurrence. I remember how what you are seeing once shook the world, but now, today, it simply causes people to have desperate thoughts, a heavy sigh, and silence. Silence, simply because everything has been said long ago, much has been said, and sometimes even very loudly. But... today is morning again for my people. Also, explosions were heard tonight in Sumy, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro region. The full-scale war with russia has been going on for 1590 days already… too long; who could have thought or imagined that everything would turn out this way, and there are still so many unknown events ahead.

❗️Kyiv experienced one of the most massive attacks: the enemy struck residential buildings and civilian infrastructure with drones, ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as hypersonic "Zircon" missiles. 28 locations were damaged in the capital. Currently, there are 25 injured and three dead.

Russian forces carried out a massive missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, overnight. Numerous residential buildings have been damaged, including multiple partial building collapses.

@NatalkaKyiv Apparently it is a just a "token effort" ... to get putin off Tokayev's back. I would not make much of it unless this repeats. x.com/ChrisO_wiki/st…

😂 You can’t make this up: a gas station masquerading as a country is getting gasoline as humanitarian aid! Kazakhstan has agreed to supply 50,000 tons of gasoline (AI-92 and AI-95) to Russia as humanitarian aid in July and August. Footnote: This is not a good look for Kazakhstan. Surely, President Tokayev is aware that the fuel his country supplies will be used for military needs before civilian use.

Please watch this. 🙏 It was recorded in real time while Russian missiles were attacking Kyiv — a European city of 4 million people. Video: Michael Sheitelman

⚡️ As a result of a Russian missile strike on Kyiv, a nine-story residential building has been damaged, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. People are trapped inside, according to him.

Today, we have information about another massive Russian strike – we have relevant intelligence data. And immediately after this conversation, I am returning to Ukraine. Today, I ask our people in Ukraine to be especially careful – stay safe and protect your families and children – be sure to take shelter and pay attention to air-raid alerts in Ukraine. We know that Putin has been preparing a massive strike against Ukraine for some time. That is exactly the threat we are facing tonight. Russia’s head is completely refusing to end the war. And although through all possible official and unofficial channels – including through people close to him – we have conveyed that the war can and must be ended, and that we in Ukraine are ready for meetings and meaningful negotiations, he sees only further aggression against Ukraine and against other neighbors and Europe as a whole. I said this during a joint press conference with the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin.

… it is night in Ukraine right now, almost 4 a.m. Ukrainians are underground, those who have such an opportunity in their cities, while others are just in their homes and apartments, hearing, and even watching from their windows, yet another round of nightly explosions and flashes. Some are closer, some are further away, but the explosions are felt with the entire body. As always, the morning will reveal more.

Russian hybrid warfare boiler plate ... short version

Russian drones are attacking Kyiv, Kyiv region and other Ukrainian cities. A massive attack involving ballistic and cruise missiles is expected tonight. People of Kyiv are spending the night in the subway (doubles as a shelter). Russia continues terrorizing Ukrainians.

"DO NOT POST FOOTAGE & VIDEOS from anywhere before it’s posted by officials! This is literally the most important protection we have! ... Protect our defenders and air defense please! Don’t share unofficial footage during these attacks!!"

Ukraine hit at least 13 Russian defense plants in June, the most in any month this year. The campaign moved from fuel depots to the weapons factories. Kyiv is no longer burning the fuel Russia fights with. It now hits the plants that build its missiles — United24. 1/

THE FORECAST: THE SIEGE OF CRIMEA HEADS TOWARD HUMANITARIAN COLLAPSE 🌊🛑💀 Ukraine's methodical strangulation of the occupied Crimean peninsula is rapidly shifting from a tactical success into a full-scale demographic and humanitarian catastrophe for the Russian forces. Analysts and investigative journalists are issuing stark warnings about the looming fallout of Kyiv's deep logistical blockade. Prominent journalist Karpenko delivered a chilling but logical prediction of what happens as the Armed Forces of Ukraine (SOU) sever the final supply veins linking the peninsula to the mainland: "There will be famine in Crimea. It will affect two million people, after which a mass exodus of people will begin." This is no longer a theoretical scenario. With the Chonhar transit corridors heavily compromised, fuel prices hitting 120 SEK a liter in Yalta, and domestic agricultural networks collapsing on live Russian state TV, the structural floor is giving way. If you cannot secure food, water, and fuel for two million residents, an occupied territory transforms from a strategic asset into an unsustainable logistical liability. The Kremlin's grand illusion of Crimea as an impregnable fortress and a safe resort destination has permanently shattered. The clock is ticking for the occupying population, and Moscow is completely powerless to stop the bleeding.

BOOM SOON? The 'Yamal Cross’ in western Siberia is a junction that transits 85% of Russia’s natural gas. 17 massive pipelines cross under 54–100 atmospheres of pressure. Disrupt it, and 57% of Russia’s electricity production goes dark.

@kl_kowalczyk Yup, call them what they are ... fascists! Talks like fascist, acts like fascist, it's a fascist.

Ulicami Lublina spaceruje Narodowa Straż Kamracka. Tylko jakoś nie czuję się bezpieczniej. Chłopaki i dziewczyny udający służbę to cos przerażającego, a w komentarzach czytam o „wyłapywaniu Ukraińców”. Płyniemy w stronę lat 30., jeśli wiecie o co mi chodzi.
