@LetsArmUKR Ukraine's homegrown artillery keeps evolving while Russia's stuck refurbishing museum pieces. Bohdana 3 proves Ukrainian engineering > Soviet scrap metal. More importantly, these systems are battle-tested against actual targets, not parade grounds.
English
@LetsArmUKR Russian logistics in Crimea are getting the same treatment as their Black Sea Fleet—turned into submarine parking lots. Precision strikes like these show Ukraine's growing ability to systematically dismantle occupation infrastructure. Keep it coming.
English
Russian drones have struck again, this time slamming into the railway hub in occupied Alchevsk, Luhansk region. The logistics node feeding Russian transport and supply lines across the seized territories is now a smoking wreck, courtesy of Ukrainian precision strikes.
Every hit like this tightens the noose on the invaders’ ability to move their war machine. Their so-called “rear” is turning into a permanent kill zone.
Ukraine is systematically dismantling the infrastructure Moscow relies on to sustain its illegal occupation. The occupiers can keep pouring in fresh meat and metal; Ukrainian forces will keep turning their supply arteries into scrap and ash.
English
@LetsArmUKR Crimea is becoming a very expensive parking lot for Russian equipment. Keep hitting those supply lines until the occupiers can't even get a loaf of bread across the strait.
English
Russian logistics in occupied Crimea just took another brutal hit. Fresh satellite imagery reveals the devastating impact of precision strikes on the Dzhankoi checkpoint and the critical bridge spanning the Promoina Strait.
These aren't random targets. They are key arteries feeding Russian occupation forces in southern Ukraine with weapons, fuel, and reinforcements.
Every destroyed section slows down their war machine and buys precious time for Ukrainian defenders. The invaders thought they could move freely across stolen land.
They were wrong. Ukrainian strikes continue to carve away at their supply lines with clinical efficiency, turning their so-called "land bridge" into a graveyard of twisted metal and failed logistics.
Crimea is not a safe rear area. It is a battlefield, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are systematically dismantling every bridge, checkpoint, and rail line Moscow relies on to sustain its bloody occupation.

@LetsArmUKR Tulsi Gabbard's transformation from soldier to Kremlin mouthpiece is complete. Another useful idiot laundering Putin's narratives while Ukraine bleeds. Pathetic.
English
Tulsi Gabbard just proved once again why she belongs in the same bin as the rest of the isolationist grifters laundering Kremlin narratives. Before she even cleared out her desk as DNI she rushed out a carefully curated package of partially declassified slides on US biosafety cooperation with Ukraine, framing it as some bombshell revelation of secret bioweapons labs. The irony is brutal: the very documents she waved around describe standard, transparent international assistance programs in veterinary virology and pathogen diagnostics. They explicitly flag the risk of Russian disinformation campaigns targeting exactly these facilities. She turned a warning label into clickbait.
What the papers actually show is support for over forty Ukrainian labs working on things like African swine fever, avian flu, and brucellosis vaccines. No BSL-4 labs exist in Ukraine at all. Those are in the US, Russia, China, Canada, and Belarus. Zero evidence of offensive biological weapons programs. Yet Gabbard and her new friends spent months screaming about Biden, Fauci, and a grand conspiracy while handing Moscow its favorite information pretext on a silver platter.
Even the map her office released was comically incompetent: Kyiv in the wrong place, a phantom city labeled "Cherniv." That is not intelligence work, that is propaganda theater performed by someone who either cannot read a map or does not care.
This was never about biosafety. It was domestic political arson dressed up as oversight. The same crowd that spent years calling every Ukrainian defense effort a provocation now needs fresh excuses to justify walking away from Europe’s frontline. Gabbard did not discover anything; she simply volunteered to become the latest vector for GRU unit 29155’s long-running hybrid operation. They built the "US biolabs in Ukraine" myth, then recruited useful Western faces to repeat it. She fits the pattern perfectly.
The real scandal is not imaginary Ukrainian bioweapons. It is watching American officials with access to classified material deliberately distort unclassified cooperative programs to undermine support for a country bleeding to contain the very empire these people keep making excuses for. Every time a Tulsi or a Vance or a Musk parrots another recycled Moscow talking point, they are not saving American taxpayers a dime. They are raising the future bill Europe will pay when Russian forces, smelling weakness, keep moving west.
Ukraine is not asking for favors. It is doing the expensive, bloody work of destroying the illusion that you can appease an imperial project and somehow stay safe behind it. Arming that fight is not charity; it is the cheapest insurance policy the West has left. The documents Gabbard released prove exactly that, if anyone bothers to read past the sensationalist headline she slapped on them.
The rest is just another chapter in the long American tradition of useful idiots trading democratic credibility for applause from the authoritarian cheap seats. History will not be kind to them. Ukraine, meanwhile, will still be here holding the line long after these political tourists have moved on to the next grift.
English
@JulianRoepcke Russian advances are measured in meters at catastrophic cost. Ukraine's strikes degrade their war machine strategically. This isn't a football match - territory isn't the only scoreboard.
English
On Ukrainian TV, I recently emphasized that all the Ukrainian success stories about successful deep strikes in Russia, cutting off Russia logistics and killing more Russians than are coming, did not reverse the trend of Russia slowly advancing in southern in eastern Ukraine.

The fuel crisis has reached Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan. Some gas stations are now capping sales at 20 liters per person.

@joni_askola Tulsi's entire political career is a masterclass in laundering Kremlin talking points as "anti-war." She's not naive, she's calculated.

@LetsArmUKR Russia's "military boom" is just Potemkin villages with extra steps. Their economy is a kleptocratic joke and their troops are still using shovels as weapons. This is desperation, not strength.
English
Russia is not just bleeding in Ukraine — it’s simultaneously rebuilding and supercharging its entire military machine along NATO’s northern flank. From the Norwegian border down to Kaliningrad, satellite imagery reveals a frantic construction boom: new barracks, apartment blocks for soldiers’ families, vast storage halls, repair depots, and cleared forests making way for expanded bases.
The crown jewel sits in the Pechenga Valley on the Kola Peninsula — just 11 km from Norway — where a single complex is being prepared to house up to 17,000 troops. This is happening right now, while Russia’s best units are being ground into meat in Donbas.
Western intelligence, including Norway’s own, has been caught flat-footed by the scale and speed of the work. The numbers are sobering.
Once Putin finishes his slaughter in Ukraine, analysts expect another 115,000 Russian troops permanently stationed along NATO’s northern border. That is not defence.
That is preparation for the next war — one Moscow clearly intends to be ready to fight in 2–5 years. Norway’s own Chief of Defence has admitted the threat level will rise sharply if this buildup is completed.
The previous delusion that Russia couldn’t modernise while fighting in Ukraine has been quietly buried. NATO is watching.
The question is whether it will do more than watch. Because Putin is not choosing between Ukraine and confronting the West.
He is funding both.
English
@wartranslated Russia's fuel crisis is just another symptom of their crumbling economy. Sanctions work, but we need to keep tightening the screws. The more their domestic situation deteriorates, the harder it becomes to sustain this illegal war.
English
@Gerashchenko_en Russia's posturing doesn’t change the fact that its military has been exposed as paper tiger in Ukraine. Modernizing bases won’t fix corruption, poor morale, and strategic incompetence. NATO should focus on aiding Ukraine to dismantle this threat at its source.
English
Russia modernizing military bases along entire NATO border - from Norway to Kaliningrad
An NRK article, published as part of a joint investigative report with Swedish SVT, Danish DR, and Estonian Delfi, reveals that Russia is rapidly expanding and modernizing its military infrastructure along its western border with NATO countries - with a particular focus on the area right next to Norway.
Russia is building new barracks, housing for soldiers and their families, storage halls, vehicle repair facilities, and other infrastructure at multiple sites. This is happening even while Russia is heavily engaged in the war in Ukraine. Western intelligence agencies (including Norway’s) are described as having been surprised by the scale and speed of the work.
The most prominent example is in the Pechenga Valley on the Kola Peninsula in Russia’s Murmansk region - only about 11 km from the Norwegian border near Kirkenes.
Satellite images show:
🔹New apartment buildings (e.g., five buildings with ~180 apartments);
🔹Barracks and other housing;
🔹Storage and maintenance facilities;
🔹Large areas of forest cleared for construction.
Analysts say this single complex could eventually house up to 17,000 soldiers (significantly more than before). Similar construction activity is documented at many other sites along Russia’s 2,424 km border with Northern Europe (from the Arctic down to Kaliningrad).
Experts estimate that once the war in Ukraine ends, Russia could station around 115,000 additional troops near its borders with NATO’s northern members.
The article frames this as Russia preparing for a possible future confrontation with NATO - not an immediate attack, but laying the groundwork for a stronger posture in the coming years (estimates range from 2–5 years after the Ukraine war ends).
Reactions from Norway and NATO:
🔹Norway’s Chief of Defense, Eirik Kristoffersen, warned that if Russia completes this buildup, "the military threat to Norway will increase."
🔹Norwegian intelligence had previously assessed that Russia would not be able to build up forces while fighting in Ukraine - a view that has now changed.
🔹NATO officials and Nordic military leaders describe it as a significant escalation and "huge upscaling" though they note Russia is still primarily focused on Ukraine for now.
Russia’s official position is that all these measures are defensive and that it has no intention of attacking NATO.

@joni_askola @kajakallas Exactly. The Kremlin's smear campaigns are the best endorsement a leader can get. Kallas understands the stakes while too many in Europe still pretend this is just politics as usual.
English
If you want to measure the impact of a European leader, look at how much energy foreign adversaries spend trying to destroy their reputation.
The constant stream of pro-Russian and pro-China propaganda aimed at @kajakallas proves she is a formidable opponent to them, and while the exact powers of the EU High Representative position can potentially be reformed, Kallas has the ideal mindset to confront hostile autocrats.
European capitals have every right to analyze and potentially adjust the bureaucratic mandate of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Rethinking how the bloc coordinates its external actions is a standard part of institutional evolution, but any systemic flaws in the office cannot be blamed on Kallas.
The concentrated hostility directed at her from state media ecosystems in Russia and China (and some other enemies too) is an involuntary admission that her strategic clarity poses a major problem for them. Their fixation on Kallas confirms her status as a high-stakes obstacle.
She has a profound understanding of the psychological games autocrats play, and she refuses to grant them the passive diplomatic concessions they crave. Her clear, unyielding communication style helps insulate the European Union from the gaslighting tactics that hostile regimes use to manipulate Western policy.
The narrative attacks against her should therefore be viewed as validation of her approach. Discussions about reforming European diplomacy are healthy, but Kallas herself is not the issue, as her defiant attitude is exactly what is needed to face down modern authoritarian threats

@Gerashchenko_en "Putin's bubble of lies is so thick even his own propagandists can't pierce it. No wonder he still thinks this war is 'going to plan.' Meanwhile, Moskva sleeps with the fishes."
English
A former chief editor of a major Russian news program, Vesti, says that Putin has been shown censored versions of news broadcasts since 2011.
According to him, war news are also heavily censored for Putin. He was not told that Moskva flagship has sunk for about a week.
Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en
Putin lives in a reality that is increasingly detached from the actual state of things. Most likely, he is being provided only with information that he is expected to like. Putin wants the war to continue. He is supported by a relatively small group of "hawks" and "Z-patriots," who make up roughly 29 percent. There is also a silent majority that has started to feel the effects of economic problems and is increasingly experiencing fear caused by Ukrainian drone strikes and, likely, the prospect of mobilization. They are the ones who could eventually erupt. The key question is whether a group of people will emerge within Russia itself, above all among its elites, who understand that the war is destroying Russia itself and who will be able to do something about it, one way or another.

@wartranslated Ukrainian tech proving yet again that innovation thrives under pressure. 10,000 kills is no joke. Airbus partnership is smart—Europe needs this capability yesterday.

Ukrainian drone maker SkyFall displayed the P1-SUN interceptor at Europe's largest aerospace show in Berlin. The company says the drone has downed 10,000 Russian drones and is partnering with Airbus to integrate Ukrainian anti-drone tech into European air defenses.

@LetsArmUKR Good. Every strike on occupied Crimea weakens Russia's grip. Ukraine's drone program keeps proving its worth while Moscow's propaganda flails. Keep hitting them where it hurts.
English
Ukrainian drones delivered a powerful blow to the Crimean Titan plant in occupied Armyansk last night. Objective footage confirms direct hits on this strategic target.
A massive blaze erupted across the facility, forcing immediate suspension of all production. This titanium dioxide factory isn't some random industrial site.
It churns out critical raw materials that feed directly into Russia's munitions manufacturing chain. Every ton of output helps Moscow's war machine produce the shells and rockets they rain down on Ukrainian cities and positions.
Now that supply line is burning. The occupiers' own backyard is becoming a graveyard for their industrial capacity.
No corner of stolen Crimea is safe anymore. Ukrainian forces are methodically dismantling the logistical backbone that sustains the invasion.
This is what sustained pressure looks like. Precision strikes on high-value military-economic targets that hurt Russia where it counts.
The flames in Armyansk are visible proof that Ukraine's long-range capabilities continue to expand and improve. The enemy is learning the hard way: supporting the occupation has consequences that cannot be hidden behind propaganda walls.
English
@wartranslated Russian drone production up 8x yet still can't secure their own fuel trucks in Crimea. Quantity ≠ quality when you're using washing machine parts and sanctions-busting chips. Ukraine's drone strikes have precision, Russia's just have volume.
English
Russia increased reactive strike drone use eight-fold, launching 1400 units since the start of the year compared to just 180 in 2025, Militarnyi says. Mostly Geran-3, Geran-4 and Geran-5.

@Gerashchenko_en The Kremlin's sudden shift shows they've written Trump off as a lost cause. Their propaganda machine only moves when Moscow gives the order - this is as coordinated as their missile strikes on Ukrainian cities.
English
Lately, Russian propagandists started openly mocking President Trump. The shift has been rather abrupt, as Russian television had not allowed itself such rhetoric before. Clearly, the Kremlin gave the order to start criticizing Trump.
At first, Russian propagandists referred to him as "our guy." Now they describe him as a "Bidenized loser," a destroyer of the American empire, and a helpless manager. It is not Trump who has changed, but the tasks of the Russian propaganda machine. So, by taking his figure as a case study, we can see how propaganda works.
▪️ The first law: the object is not evaluated - it is used.
On Russian television, Trump can be both a hero and a fool, a genius and a weakling on the very same day. One day, Solovyev praises the man who "destroyed the world order," and the next day he mocks his inability to reach a deal on Iran. Not because propagandists are confused, but because propaganda and lies do not require consistency. The more confusing and absurd, the better.
▪️ The second law: Russian television says only what the Kremlin allows it to say, and only when it allows it.
Once the command was given, the hosts immediately began tearing Trump apart.
▪️ The third law: every audience gets its own dish.
The domestic audience hears contempt. Foreign audiences hear doubt. Russian-language broadcasts feed viewers mockery, while RT in English carefully cultivates skepticism and asks questions.
▪️ The fourth law: ridicule is a political weapon.
In reality, propaganda attacks not the individual but the institution through the individual. Trump is merely a convenient conduit. If he appears weak, manipulable, or incompetent, then American leadership itself begins to look the same.
▪️ The fifth law: propaganda hates inventing anything new. It prefers clichés.
Need to explain Trump? Bring out "Biden." Need to explain Ukraine? Bring out "Afghanistan." Need to discredit future evidence? Bring out "Powell's vial." New events are simply stretched over old templates.
▪️ The sixth law is one of the most sophisticated.
The most effective Russian propaganda does not sound Russian. It speaks with an American voice. If the desired message can be put into the mouth of an American journalist, blogger, or politician, its impact multiplies. People are more willing to trust their own.
And finally, the most important thing.
The ultimate goal of the machine is not to convince you that it is right. That is too difficult. It is much easier to convince you that truth itself does not exist. That everyone lies. That everyone manipulates. That everyone is equally ridiculous and equally absurd.
Once people stop searching for the truth, they become much easier to control.
The key question is why Russian propaganda has changed its rhetoric toward Trump precisely now.
English
@LetsArmUKR The Kremlin only loves useful idiots until they're no longer useful. Trump's weakness became too obvious even for Putin's taste. Classic mafia behavior - discard the asset when it stops delivering.
English
Russian propagandists have suddenly turned on Trump with venomous glee, openly mocking him as a “Bidenized loser,” a wrecker of the American empire, and a pathetic weakling. The shift wasn’t gradual.
Kremlin orders flipped the switch overnight. Yesterday he was “our guy.
” Today he’s a punchline. Nothing about Trump changed.
The propaganda script did. This is how the machine actually works.
First rule: Trump isn’t judged, he’s weaponised. One hour Solovyov calls him a historic disruptor, the next he sneers that the same man can’t even handle Iran.
Consistency is for idiots. The more absurd and contradictory, the better.
Second rule: nothing airs on Russian TV unless the Kremlin explicitly permits it. The moment the order dropped, the entire freak show pivoted from flattery to contempt within hours.
Third rule: different audiences, different poison. Domestic viewers get raw contempt and ridicule.
Foreign ones are fed slick doubt and scepticism. RT English doesn’t scream, it whispers questions designed to erode confidence.
Fourth rule: they aren’t really attacking Trump. They’re attacking the idea of American strength through him.
Make the man look ridiculous and you make the country look ridiculous. Fifth rule: zero creativity.
Every new story gets forced into the same tired templates: Biden, Afghanistan, Powell’s vial. Fresh events are just stretched over old lies.
Sixth and most dangerous rule: the deadliest propaganda doesn’t sound Russian at all. It comes from American mouths, American journalists, American pundits.
That’s when the toxin really spreads. The endgame isn’t to make you believe Russia is right.
It’s to make you believe truth itself is dead. Everyone lies, everyone manipulates, everything is equally absurd.
