The school was equipped with bomb shelter classrooms, and when there were no classes, it could shelter people receiving humanitarian aid. But the Russians targeted it with multiple aerial bombs. And they did so in a double tap to target first responders too. This is terrorism
The words can't describe this horror. 18 people were killed and five others injured in russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region.
The strike targeted the school where humanitarian aid was being distributed to local residents.
After the initial attack, russian forces dropped nine more aerial bombs, including particularly on a shelter where people were taking refuge.
Rescue operations and the search for missing people are ongoing.

This is what russian terror looked like tonight.
Dozens of ballistic missiles. 50 guided missiles. Hundreds of attack drones.
A massive assault on Ukrainian cities and civilians.
And the most frightening part? The world has already gotten used to it.

⚡️Putin orders Russian data centers to reserve capacity to assist state IT infrastructure.
With the decree, a newly established government commission will have the authority to claim the reserved capacity, which must be made accessible within 24 hours of the government's notification.

This is worth reading if you want to understand what happened last night in Kyiv.

A Ukrainian brigade that was losing positions a year ago now leads the army at getting its soldiers back.
The 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade cut unauthorized absences by 70% over the past year and ranks first in Ukraine's Ground Forces for troops returning to the ranks, the 3rd Army Corps said.
In 2025 the brigade could not rebuild fast enough. Its battalions were fighting as scattered groups and losing ground.
In November last year a new command team took over, led by a commander with the callsign Cherkas, and folded those scattered groups back into units.
It is the second such turnaround in a month from the 3rd Army Corps, the formation founded by Azov, whose bet on technology and on letting junior officers decide rebuilt the 125th Brigade from 17% of its established strength into a spearhead of Operation Vivaldi.

A confrontation broke out on Nov. 2 in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, a village on the outskirts of Kyiv, where hundreds of civilians gathered near an unmarked facility with National Guard soldiers present following unverified reports that mobilized men were being unlawfully held inside.
The situation quickly escalated as protesters attacked the facility and threw eggs at policemen and National Guard members, who responded with tear gas and firing into the air.

Earlier this year, we ran a fundraiser to buy vans for R.U.G. and KORD. We raised over $91,000 and purchased four vans. The vans were so well received that they have been asking us for more, especially KORD, which fell in love with the van we provided.
KORD Kyiv needs another van, identical to the one provided already.
KORD Khmelnytsky needs vans as well.
Omega Liberty requires transport vans.
The 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade needs vans.
We aim to provide four more vans as soon as possible, and we hope to provide vans regularly going forward. The budget currently allows us to pay for nearly one van, and we aim to raise funds for 3 more in this round.
Why Vans? Cargo In → Casualties Out
Inbound: Vans protect sensitive cargo, such as electronics, from dust, mud, and rain.
Outbound: Once goods are delivered, these vehicles provide a protected, enclosed space to evacuate the wounded for treatment.
As with our last fundraiser, we are working with the Liberty Ukraine Foundation, which handles the donations and financial administration, while our team coordinates vehicle procurement and delivery.

Below is a video summary of our first trip delivering vans to Ukraine.

The UN publishes a report finding that Russia is committing crimes against humanity.
So what does Russia do? Launches more attacks.
That’s what impunity looks like.

Be careful with coverage from the clash in Ukraine tonight.
There’s a lot of bad info spreading like wildfire. See below for useful and thoughtful thread.

So lastly, the information space. All of this is music to Russia's ears, and whether or not the Kremlin played an active role in staging and stoking this clash, the traditional pro-Ukrainian surrender voices are already amplifying it like clockwork.
