These four Ukrainian Warriors from the 65th Mechanized Brigade spent 320 days defending a frontline position in the Orikhiv sector of Zaporizhzhia region. Now, they've finally made it back from the front line. To reach the evacuation point, the Defenders covered about 18 km on foot over three days, through rain and fog, under the constant threat of Russian drones. They were then transported by armored vehicle to a location where their brothers-in-arms and medics were waiting. The group was led by Ukrainian Defender Vitalii, call sign "Cheburashka." All four made it out alive. Previous rotation attempts had been thwarted by Russian drones and artillery. According to the brigade, one replacement group was killed before reaching the position, while others were wounded and had to turn back. 📹: 65th Mechanized Brigade

Russian oligarch Malofeev: I believe that Putin is not right that he's not using our nuclear weapon now. British journalist Piers Morgan interviewed Russian "Orthodox oligarch" Malofeev. He asked him to name one critical thing about Putin. Malofeev: I believe that Putin is not right that he's not using our nuclear weapon now. Piers Morgan: You want him to use nuclear weapons now? Malofeev: Yes. For this war to come to an end. To stop killing. Piers Morgan: So your main criticism of your president is he's not nuking everybody. Wow.

A Ukrainian boy comforts his mom, Svitlana, during a Russian drone attack: "Mom, listen to the sounds of nature instead of all this horror. Just enjoy nature and listen to what the trees are telling you." "My heart is breaking. I'm supposed to be the one comforting him, but he's stronger than I am," Svitlana wrote. 📹: chykanova_coach / Threads

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement": "You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other, claim that we are in some kind of diplomatic stalemate. We are not in a diplomatic stalemate. Shut down Russia’s entire economy. Shut Russia's mouth. Stop feeding them through your sales. Impose sanctions on their weapons. Open Starlink for Ukraine. You opened it when responding to Iran, after all. Everything worked there. Israel completely controlled the skies over Iran. So when you need it to work, it works. It costs them nothing to help Ukraine. And I said quite frankly: help us protect our skies and gain dominance there. Then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. Why? Because he will lose everything. In two or three months, he will lose everything. And instead, we are waiting for the Chinese to develop an equivalent and hand it over to Russians. This is not a stalemate - this is called a lack of will."

Yesterday, we all saw the video of Kostiantyn Vlasenko, a Ukrainian Defender from the 30th Brigade, being evacuated by drone from a position on the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupiansk sector, Kharkiv region. I was deeply impacted by the video and his interview. After being seriously wounded in February, Kostiantyn lost one leg. Several months later, when gangrene set in, he had to amputate his other leg himself. Throughout all of this, he continued to hold the position alone. Several attempts to evacuate him by land had failed, so different units of Ukraine's Defense Forces came together to rescue Kostiantyn. I'm speechless.

"He doesn’t understand the people. He is a true Soviet KGB officer. A bit of an antisemite, a bit of a fascist. Not very intelligent. And he does not understand that people have rights. He is a president who simply doesn’t give a damn about his own citizens." - This is how journalist Anna Politkovskaya described Putin. Anna Politkovskaya was killed in Moscow 20 years ago, on Putin’s birthday. Twenty years after her murder, the EU once again called for all those responsible to be identified and brought to justice. Six people were convicted in Russia for their involvement in the crime, but those who ordered the killing have still not been found. 📹: BBC

An epic combat operation by CODE 9.2. A tank and a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, both equipped with specially designed anti-drone protection, advanced to the front line and fired directly at Russian forward positions. Reconnaissance and attack drones provided cover for the armored vehicles. A CODE 9.2 FPV drone intercepted and destroyed a Russian FPV drone approaching the tank to strike it. Vampire drones also covered the armored vehicles from the air. All goals set by the commander of the 475th Separate Assault Regiment, Hero of Ukraine Oleksandr Nastenko, callsign "Flint," were achieved.

Yandex is Russia's leading IT giant; its cloud infrastructure supports not only the civilian sector but also business systems and government agencies, meaning the consequences of the attacks on it are systemic: Damage to data centers caused disruptions to over 80 of the company's services (including Yandex Go, Yandex Taxi, Yandex Music, Yandex Pay, and Yandex Pro). Since the Yandex Cloud platform provides computing power to third-party companies, the infrastructure of many major Russian enterprises also went down. Transport collapse: Taxi and courier delivery operations were completely blocked in many Russian cities (drivers lost access to navigation and their accounts). Paralysis of retail and banking: Systems belonging to major marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon) and large retail chains (Pyaterochka, Lenta, Magnit) were affected, as were the services of leading banks (T-Bank, Alfa-Bank) and the Russian Railways (RZD) website. Issues with government services: Access problems were reported on the "Gosuslugi" portal and the websites of several Russian media outlets. Incidentally, there are reports that the number of Russian bots on social media has dropped significantly.

[Q]: You called Ukraine a disgrace for attacking Russia. You want Zelensky out. Have you forgotten that President Putin just started the war? [President Trump]: Well, I know the details, okay? And at some point I'll release the details. But I don't care anything except for one. I want that war ended.. And I think the two leaders, I deal with both of them, I think they want that war ended too. And I think it's going to end. Comment from me: there is indeed one leader who wants this war to end - President Zelenskyy. Putin just gave a speech where he and his military promised more attacks on Ukraine.
