🔥🛢️ Right now, one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, Yaroslavl oil refinery, with an annual capacity of around 15.7 million tons, is under attack. 700 km from the front line.

A drone attack and resulting fire at an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia.

See that net there? Neither did the russian drone operator! 🤣💙💛 Nets save lives. If you see a net fundraiser - like the one @emsieman.bsky.social made - send a couple of bucks their way. Thank you to everyone who helps Ukraine! 💙💛

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

It's very difficult in Pokrovsk & tomorrow 2 super-scopes for the best snipers are going there! The first of these super-scopes, a wonderful Schmidt & Bender 36x, has been paid, €4500 ⬇️ We are infinitely grateful to the brilliant sponsor Dutch Lion for this scope for the best snipers in Pokrovsk!

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/

How unexpected: Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine has completely collapsed and Putin seems perfectly fine with it. Honestly, I can’t remember a single time in history when you ask a murderer to stop killing, and he just says, “Alright, I’ll stop.”

Hello again on Day 1332 of the war in Europe. I track all the news from around Ukraine and Russia, fact check and deliver it in one handy thread every single day - I've still never missed one But views are⬇️(even here) and sponsors also⬇️ If you can help in any way, please try 🙏 Here we go again:

Russian propagandist Zarubin can't understand why there is a united hatred among Europeans toward Russia that has "flared up with such force over the past 4 yrs" Zarubin,noting that they had a "normal interaction" for 20 years,asked Putin's aide Ushakov, "What suddenly happened to them?" Bastard.

87 days🥺 Can you imagine this?

This Is Fascism

Think about it. First russians bomb the power grids when cold weather is starting. Then they target those who fix them and rescue people from freezing. Then they strike rescuers who arrive to save the wounded. This is genocide. If one can't see it, they should check their moral compass.

Emergency crews have restored power to much of Ukraine after an overnight Russian drone and missile attack on Friday targeted energy facilities, plunging large parts of Kyiv and other regions into darkness and disrupting water supplies.

I repeatedly highlight the bravery of all Ukraine's emergency, and indeed repair workers, who go about their jobs with no protection. So spare a thought for family & friends of Vitaliy Kartashov, 59, murdered by Russia on Thursday while driving for Kherson's water company.

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant." Please share as widely as possible. We need an antidote to media promotion and protection of Farage.

⚡️A $25K Ukrainian rocket just took down Russia’s “stealth” Kh-69 cruise missile.

I will sound like a broken record repeating this, but we really should have given the Ukrainians the Gripen. It is the ideal combat aircraft for their needs. And would have made aid to Ukraine even less dependent on the Americans.

F-35 this, F-35 that, superior American technology jada jada jada. All valid and good points as long as America was a reliable partner in defence, which they no longer are.

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine. It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks. I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile) Here's Saturday's thread

Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence has examined a new Z UAV used to detect Ukrainian air defenses — nearly all major components are made in China. This is despite the company’s 2022 statement that it would restrict supplies to both Ukraine and Russia to prevent its products from being used in the war.

also someone find me a job so that i can keep doing work like this 🦀

Some Russian soldiers who returned from Ukrainian captivity survived less than a year, based on an analysis of fallen Russian soldiers.
