🔥 For almost five years, Putin has tried to break Ukraine. Now it feels like betrayal is coming from Washington too. But they still don’t understand us.
They judge everything by money and power – and forget about love, dignity, loyalty, and the simple human instinct to stand against injustice. That is why Putin’s “three-day operation” failed. That is why Ukraine still stands. 🇺🇦
Our task is simple: remain human, care about each other, and resist injustice. Thank you for being that kind of person. 💙💛

The way Zelensky has handled this war, the relationships he has built, how he’s handled people, how he has played his position politically to ensure Ukraine receives continued support even through the frustrations has been incredible.
Not many people see how he handles situations when Ukraine is screwed over, when promises aren’t met, when Ukraine needs more support, but the hands he plays are something of an art-form.
He handles different leaders, personalities and political systems individually and in the different forms they are required, this man is playing 100 games of Chess at the same time and making incredible moves with each turn.
Zelensky may have short falls but one thing is for sure, without Zelensky, Ukraine would have never survived.
He is a Hero along with many of the Ukrainians helping their war efforts to defend themselves.
Zelensky’s name will go down in history with the Churchill’s of the past. His story, is every bit as magnificent, his determination is every bit as brave. His resolve is absolute.
Long Live Ukraine.
Wise words from @richardbranson - when will the World stop crawling to Trump and stand up to him?
BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...
"I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"
"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.
Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.
The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.
"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"
"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."
"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.
We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

My heart is with the people of Ukraine. For the past few years, we've dedicated this moment during The Rhythm of My Heart to the strength, courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Every night, the crowd joins together in support. In light of the recent horrific attacks on Kyiv, I hope this small tribute reminds you that people all over the world continue to stand with you.
100% correct @Kasparov63 Trump is Putin’s dog

Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.
Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.
So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.
A blow to our Country, @JohnHealey_MP is a good man, who has solid principles and as Defence Minister was a safe paid of hands and a strong supporter of #Ukraine - I worry about who will be the successor, Lammy, Cooper, hopefully Al Carns with a good military background is best?

▪️AI data centres guzzle 5 million gallons of water per day. The equivalent of daily water use for 50,000 people.
▪️A single large AI data centre can consume as much electricity as 400,000 households.
But let’s blame cow burps for destroying the environment. 🤷♂️

I never stop being amazed by them. Launching their “Birdhouse” — a strategic-class missile worth around $100 million, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead — at a garage complex in the Kyiv region.
Let’s calculate how much this night cost them.
One “Oreshnik” — roughly $100 million. Around ninety cruise and ballistic missiles: Kh-101s, Kalibrs, Iskander-Ks — at an average price of about $8 million each — that’s another roughly $720 million. Six hundred Shahed drones at $50,000 each — another $30 million. Plus fuel, launch platforms, maintenance, reconnaissance.
Total: around $850 million for a single night. Nearly a billion dollars.
And what did they get for that billion?
They hit garages in Bila Tserkva. Destroyed the “Kvadrat” shopping mall. Set the roof of a dormitory on fire in Darnytskyi district. Blew apart an entrance section of a five-story apartment building in Shevchenkivskyi district. Hit a market. A supermarket. A construction hypermarket in Obolon. Dropped debris onto the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium.
Two sleeping civilians killed. Fifty-six wounded, including children. Is this their strategic result for a billion dollars? This is their “special operation.” This is their “greatness.”
They cannot move forward on the battlefield. Cannot seize a single truly significant settlement. Cannot defeat the army of a country they promised to capture in three days four years ago. And in convulsions, in agony, in powerless rage, they strike residential neighborhoods at night — museums, markets, shops, garages.
Impotent on the battlefield, compensating for their failure with the number of munitions fired at sleeping civilians.
Blind evil and helplessness at the same time.
Monsters. Simply monsters. Rabid, paranoid lunatics with a nuclear button.
I have no other words left for them.

Putin is a weak loser.
He just lost his closest European ally.
He lost his dictator friends in Venezuela and Syria.
His allies in the Iranian theocracy are in tatters.
His stooges lost elections in Moldova & Romania. He lost the support of Armenia, and it’s only a matter of time before the Georgian people throw off their corrupt pro Putin regime.
He lost his effort to stop NATO expansion, pushing Finland & Sweden into the alliance.
He has lost over 1.3 million Russians to battlefield casualties.
And now he is losing his war against Ukraine, falling back in many areas & controlling less Ukrainian territory than he did 4 years ago.
