    Ukrainian defenders have now struck and damaged every bridge between temporarily-occupied Kherson and Crimea – near Heniches'k, Chonhar, Armyansk and Krasnoperekopsk. The russian fascist invaders and colonists are being cut off from supplies in Crimea.

    Trump gave two weeks for Russia to observe a ceasefire. Then he gave two weeks again. Then he gave 50 days. Then he gave 10 days. After the latest arbitrary and meaningless deadline, Trump chickened out. Trump always chickens out. Russia continues to commit war crimes.

    Twitter has removed the UA two-letter country code for Ukraine from two-factor authentication. Ukraine has disappeared from Elon Musk’s virtual map of the world. The effect of this change is to reduce the presence of pro-Ukrainian, pro-democracy voices on this platform.

    There is war because Russia invaded Ukraine, not because Ukraine defends itself.

    Kyiv was founded in 482. In 1147, the Grand Duke of Kyiv and ruler of the Kyivan Rus’, Yuriy Dolhoruky, issued a decree founding Moscow. In 2022, Kyiv City Council rescinded this decree, saying it was due to a “historical misunderstanding.” Moscow no longer exists.

    Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and all U.S. allies. Trump imposed no tariffs on Russia. Trump is a Russian asset.

    French President Emmanuel Macron says "don't humiliate Russia". I say don't humiliate Ukraine, as France did in 1919 when the Treaty of Versailles destroyed Ukrainian independence. Don't humiliate Ukraine as France did in 2008 when it blocked NATO membership to Ukraine.

    The United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark and Finland have issued advisories warning about travel to the United States, where the rule of law is breaking down. Canada has informally asked its citizens to "reconsider" U.S. travel. Are there other countries that have issued advisories?

    Ukrainians – whose average annual income is about $6000 per year – crowd-funded $9.6 million in only a day to buy RAM II kamikaze drones. Elon Musk – whose net worth is around $215 billion – wants U.S. taxpayers to pick up the tab for Starlink in Ukraine.

    The Russian line has collapsed in the north of Kherson region. The invaders are retreating to try to hold Dudchany. Advancing Ukrainian troops are chasing to give them no time to dig in.
