🇺🇦 ZELENSKYY: UKRAINE CANNOT AFFORD A WEAK PRESIDENT DURING WAR. “Maybe after the war, Ukraine can have any kind of president. That is entirely the people’s choice. But today, if Ukraine wants to survive, it needs a strong army, a strong president, and strong people. That’s why my response to any pressure is strong. I will always respond. Because otherwise, they will devour us. And by ‘they,’ I mean the Russians, of course.”

🔥🇺🇦 These have been very bad days for Russia’s military industry — which means we’re getting another extended Russian geography lesson. Ukrainian drones and Ukrainian-made missiles hit chemical plants, an optoelectronics factory, logistics hubs and data centers, while flights were cancelled in Moscow and blackouts reached Russian regions. And this is the important change: Ukraine can answer now. From Omsk, deep in Siberia, to Orel, our strikes are reaching targets that Russia once believed were safely protected by distance. Russia’s enormous size is turning from an asset into a vulnerability. 🎯 The strike on the optoelectronics plant in Orel matters especially because facilities like this supply components needed for missile production elsewhere. Hit the critical links — and you disrupt the entire chain. 🔥 The war is back on Russian territory. And this is not the moment to appease Putin. It is the moment to keep weakening the regime that started this war. Subscribe to witness what happens next — and share to spread the truth. 💙💛 #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsCollapsing #MakeRussiaSmallAgain #Ukraine

Ukrainian drones have reached deep into Siberia in a spectacular another long-range operation, targeting Russia’s massive Omsky Kauchuk chemical plant in Omsk, approximately 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine. Established in 1962, the Soviet-era industrial giant is one of Russia’s most important petrochemical producers, with several significant national distinctions: - Russia’s largest single-unit MTBE production capacity, producing a critical additive used in high-octane gasoline. - Russia’s largest isopropyl alcohol production facility, with an annual capacity of 60,000 tonnes. - Russia’s second-largest MTBE producer, accounting for approximately 16% of national production in 2026. - One of Russia’s leading phenol producers, accounting for approximately 18% of national production in 2021. - A top synthetic rubber manufacturer, supplying materials used in tires, industrial equipment, hoses, and other civilian and military applications.

🇺🇦 UKRAINE STRIKES BACK! MOSCOW UNDER MASSIVE DRONE ATTACK, EXPLOSIONS REPORTED ACROSS RUSSIA! Following Russia’s devastating strikes on Kyiv, Ukraine has reportedly launched a large-scale wave of drones and missiles against targets deep inside Russian territory. Moscow is facing hours of aerial alerts, explosions, and unprecedented security measures. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, at least 17 drones were intercepted while approaching the Russian capital. All four major Moscow airports — Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky — reportedly suspended flights. Russian media reported 117 delayed flights, while passengers at Sheremetyevo were directed to safer areas. Videos circulating online show additional security measures near the Kremlin, including mobile air-defense teams and Pantsir systems positioned around sensitive locations. Russian reports also describe unusual aerial objects approaching Moscow, including balloons allegedly carrying explosive devices or smaller drones. These claims remain unverified. Meanwhile, employees were reportedly evacuated from the IQ Quarter tower in Moscow City, which houses several Russian government agencies. But Moscow is not the only target. In Oryol, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the Proton electronics plant, a facility involved in manufacturing components used in Russian military equipment. Its products reportedly support systems associated with Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Pantsir-S1 air-defense systems, and other Russian weapons. Local reports described multiple explosions followed by a fire. The extent of the damage remains unclear. Another reported target was Russia’s 75th Main Missile and Artillery Directorate arsenal near Serpukhov in the Moscow region. The facility is associated with the storage and maintenance of Russian air-defense equipment, including Buk and S-300 systems. Several explosions were reported, with preliminary claims suggesting damage to a workshop inside the military complex. There were also reports of a strike on a Federal Tax Service data center in Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod region, although the extent of any damage has not been independently established. Russia's war is increasingly reaching locations far from the Ukrainian battlefield. For years, Moscow has launched missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities, homes, energy infrastructure, and civilian facilities. Now Russian authorities are confronting the security and economic consequences of attacks deep inside their own territory. Airport shutdowns, emergency deployments, evacuations, and threats to military-industrial infrastructure demonstrate how long-range warfare can disrupt even heavily defended regions. Ukraine's ability to challenge Russian military infrastructure far from the front line has become an important dimension of the war. However, reports of destroyed air-defense bases, major strategic damage, and panic inside the Kremlin still require independent confirmation. One thing is clear: the war Russia brought to Ukraine continues to reshape the security situation inside Russia itself. And the full consequences of these reported strikes are still emerging.

US energy company execs have resigned in disgust as the Trump family is caught secretly expediting the funneling of $25 billion from a sanctioned Russian energy giant in exchange for allowing Russians to obtain a natural gas project in Alaska. According to investigations by The New York Times and Financial Times, Russia's Novatek allegedly concealed its financial involvement in the American project through a UAE-linked intermediary. Gentry Beach, a longtime Trump ally and close friend of Donald Trump Jr., signed an agreement with Novatek to pursue natural gas development in Alaska. Reuters documented the arrangement in February. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin discussed this cooperation on the Alaska energy project with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine. The controversy deepened when Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, raised concerns about concealed Russian financing and possible sanctions violations. He departed in September, followed by other senior executives. The Financial Times also described discussions about a potential arrangement under which Novatek would provide technology for the Alaska project in exchange for sanctions relief benefiting its Arctic LNG 2 development in Siberia. According to The New York Times, Riddle and two other departing executives warned the Trump administration about the Russian financing and urged officials to investigate. The White House maintains that the project was mentioned only briefly and that no detailed discussions took place. There is no established evidence that Kushner or Witkoff knew about the allegedly concealed financing. Polar Train LNG denies wrongdoing. The central question is how a sanctioned Russian energy company became involved in a major American energy venture while Putin was discussing potential economic cooperation with Trump's representatives and a longtime Trump family associate was pursuing a separate agreement with the same Russian company. Selling Alaska to the Russians or selling Ukraine to the Russians - to the Trump family it's all the same. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.” I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.

When President Trump says we need to find a compromise – we live with this. A ceasefire and sitting down at the negotiating table – it is a huge compromise. Nobody can step into the shoes of all these people whose children were tortured. And you can't force people to forgive. How can you force them when their child was tortured? How do you forgive? It's impossible. I desperately want justice. I just really want. I know so many people had their hearts ripped out, and there won't be a new heart. That's why we say a ceasefire is the only step, because people’s hatred isn't going anywhere. It takes time and justice. And that's why it's a huge compromise. I've tried many times to tell the President of the United States: understand us. This is a huge compromise just to hold the lines where we are. Trump can bring Putin to the negotiating table very easily. The way President Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.

As Ukrainian Forces continue to liberate territory, residents return back to their homes to find all the hallmarks of Russian culture, looting, drunkenness and death. The town of Sudenok.

The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day. All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are. From an address at the Hudson Institute. (2/3)
