Tonight, Russians poured Shahed drones onto the historic Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing a 14-year-old girl and her father and injuring dozens including a 9-month-old baby. Purely civilian targets.

Right now, Putin’s drones are striking Zaporizhzhia. As usual, the Russians are targeting residential buildings. The number of victims is being clarified.

Ukrainian women share their stories of sexual violence by Russian soldiers, with hundreds of cases recorded. The real number is much higher, as many remain silent. 🧡 1/7 πŸ‘‡

It took this long… December 2016: β€œthe tragedy unfolding in the Philippines should be treated as genocide.” March 2025: β€œthe ICC applied for an arrest warrant against Duterte for crimes against humanity.” πŸ”— bit.ly/4bLBz2O πŸ”— bit.ly/4iL4yWC

President Zelenskyy thanked the USA 94 times since Feb 24, 2022. United24 Media tracked only daily addresses, so the real count is much higher.

One of Norway's largest marine fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. β€œIt made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

When we arrived in Bucha just a day after it was liberated in April of 2022 this is what we found: 8 men executed in an alley with their hands tied behind their backs. Ukrainians have no other choice but to keep fighting because this is what will happen across the nation if they capitulate to Russia. If American abandons Ukraine it will soldier on because a ceasefire with Russia with no security guarantees is no ceasefire at all.

Very interesting interpretation by the SEC regarding 13Gs/13Ds. It may foster new dynamics between issuers and shareholders. Reach out to us for our thoughts on this evolving matter. lnkd.in/eQMBaDB5

Zelensky wouldn’t need money or weapons if Russia just left Ukraine.

Zelensky declared martial law after Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine’s constitution doesn’t allow for elections during martial law. If Russia leaves Ukraine, they can hold elections again. DON’T spread Kremlin talking points. πŸ”— zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/…

‼️ "Russia wants to get rid of me. If not physically, then politically. I am a very inconvenient person for Putin," β€” Zelensky He added that he is ready to do anything for the sake of peace in Ukraine: "If tomorrow Ukraine is accepted into the EU and NATO, I will no longer be needed. But until that happens, I will defend my country." ⚑️There will definitely be no victory for Ukraine without US support. But Putin will not be able to occupy us, β€” Zelensky Zelensky added that the US will stop all support if Ukraine raises the issue of American soldiers in Ukraine.

And it is like this now with Moscow’s crowning achievement, one DzierΕΌyΕ„ski couldn’t have even dreamed of - the taking of Washington using a few pitiful, failed, psychopathic human beings.
