One of the most iconic photos of this war.
Maybe you don’t know him. Not a public figure. Not a social media star. Just a Warrior. And a Hero.
“Borets,” carrying three RPG-7s on a bicycle, riding into Irpin toward russian armored columns in the first days of the full-scale invasion.
Tanks, aircraft, missiles — against a bicycle, three RPGs, and the will to stand and fight.
Men like him helped stop russia’s advance on Kyiv. Men like him are why Ukraine still exists and fights today.
“Borets” was killed in action days ago. A Marine commander. One of the finest combat leaders of this war.
Rest in honor, Warrior.

A russian major told me Ukrainians keep exploding his trucks so I asked how many trucks he has and he said he just calls Rostov and gets a new convoy afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding trucks to the Ukrainians and then his civilian contractor started crying.

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.
I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.
All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.
Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.
There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.
Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.
One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
55 Russian missiles and 549 drones were intercepted or suppressed over Ukraine overnight.
In addition, 19 Russian missiles likely failed to reach their targets, Ukraine’s Air Force added, noting that the information is still being clarified.
According to preliminary data, impacts from 16 missiles and 51 drones were recorded across 54 locations, while falling debris was reported at 23 locations.

April 21, 2025 was my last day as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.
I was the first female Ambassador to serve in a war zone and I am proud of our work to fight back against Russia's aggression and protect democracy.
But when Trump kept appeasing Putin, I had to resign and speak out.

Twelve years ago, on April 17, 2014, in Donbas. Russian special-ops group led by 🇷🇺 FSB-officer Igor Girkin (Strelkov), seized and tortured local 🇺🇦 politician Volodymyr Rybak. A man whose only “crime” was that he was for Ukraine.
His stomach was slit, a backpack filled with stones was put on his back, and he was thrown (still alive) into the river. His dead body was fished out days later.
Together with him they found Yury Popravka, an 18-year-old student who also suffered a martyr’s death. His “crime” was the same.
It was April 2014. There was still no understanding that war had come. But Russians already created a daily Golgotha, to which they and their local collaborators took anyone who was for Ukraine.
Let us remember Volodymyr, Yury, and all the others who endured torment in Donbas and Crimea in March, April and May 2014. Let’s not forget who started the bloodshed.

Russians put a $150,000 bounty on reconnaissance sergeant Oleksandr Kusharyev — callsign "Zelenyi." His unit had just killed a Pacific Fleet intelligence colonel on a Dnipro island. Russian channels mourned the loss at length.
When Zeleny found out about the bounty, he waited until his unit was withdrawing from another successful mission, keyed the radio — knowing the enemy was listening — and said: "Orcs, greetings from Zeleny." Twenty minutes later, two motorboats of Russian assault troops came. They were met with heavy fire.
He held the Dnipro islands that looked like nothing on a map and everything in war. He liberated Nestrыha in the Dnipro delta on 28 April 2024. He sank at least two Russian assault boats himself with a Browning heavy machine gun. He was wounded twice in 2024 — once so badly that shrapnel nearly split his leg open — and returned both times.
In the summer of 2024, between wounds, he took his son Ruslan to the Carpathians. They rode rollercoasters in Bukovel. His wife Sofia says she will never forget them coming home: "Happy. We savored every minute."
On 27 April 2025, he recorded a TikTok from somewhere near the front: "When I die, they won't write that an entire era ended."
He was killed on 9 June 2025 near Vuhledar. He was 36. Ruslan is 12. Sofia received his posthumous commendation on 24 February 2026 — the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion.
Eternal memory.

Anna left the South Florida stripclub, but is still sucking off russians. Old habits die hard
Today, for the first time in close to a 1/4 century, 5 members of Congress (bipartisan) met with 5 members of the Russian Duma to discuss peace and bilateral relations. As representatives of the world’s two greatest nuclear super powers, we owe our citizens open dialogue, ideas, and open lines of communication. We will continue to foster this dialogue and push for peace in support of this admins push for peace, as well as economic opportunity. 🕊️

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.

“OpenClaw exceeded what Linux did in 30 years”
"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang
This is the early PC era all over again.
A few power users see it.
Everyone else hasn't even started.
"It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years."
A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team.
The leverage is absurd.
