‼️ We are witnessing a pivotal moment in Russia’s war against Ukraine this spring. Ukrainians are bringing the war back to where it came from. Over the past few weeks, Ukraine has begun launching more aerial drone strikes on Russian territory than Russia is carrying out in Ukraine. Unlike the Kremlin, Kyiv is targeting Russian facilities related to the military-industrial complex, while Russia continues to strike civilians, churches, schools, and maternity hospitals. This footage is from the latest massive Ukrainian drone swarm attack on Russian oil terminals in the Port of Novorossiysk, in Russia’s Krasnodar region, on the night of Monday, April 6. In the videos, we can see oil infrastructure burning across the port.

As a religious person, this makes me very, very sad. Russian Orthodox priests — or priests from other countries operating under the Russian Patriarchate — have recently been lobbying the U.S. Congress. They are trying to convince people that Ukrainians themselves are to blame for Russia’s war. Disturbingly, some people believe them. Under Stalin, Russia wiped out independent religious movements and later rebuilt the Russian Orthodox Church under KGB control. When meeting with members of Congress, these so-called priests refuse to acknowledge that Russia has destroyed or damaged more than 600 religious sites in Ukraine, or that Russian authorities routinely persecute Christians in occupied territories who refuse to cooperate with the regime — including Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox Ukrainians. This persecution includes illegal detention, torture, the seizure of churches from local parishes, and more. Revived under Joseph Stalin, the Russian Orthodox Church has long operated in close alignment with Russia’s security services. During the Cold War, the KGB used a senior Russian Orthodox archbishop to recruit and manage U.S. Air Force Colonel George Trofimoff, who was later convicted of espionage. As recently as this year, U.S. authorities have again investigated a Russian Orthodox priest for allegedly attempting to recruit spies inside the United States.

Tulsi Gabbard’s latest statements should not come as a surprise. Before she was appointed she was asked many times about her relationships with Russia and Syria, and she did not provide any answers. At the time, my question to her was - whether she had any concerns that, because of her statements, U.S. allies might hesitate to share intelligence with the United States. It didn’t seem to bother her. The video with my question is attached 👇 I do wonder whether it has had an impact these days - especially in light of the latest leaks involving Witkoff’s conversations, which may prove the point.

Just a reminder: while in office, Mendel physically confronted and harassed journalists (video attached). She did not hold the position for long, but during that time she was involved in multiple cringe-worthy scandals and controversial statements. Some of my colleagues in D.C. have been texting me for a while asking what happened to her. The answer is simple: nothing happened to her — she was always like this. Inside Ukraine, she was never taken very seriously. Somehow, though, she managed to build credibility abroad, especially in the U.S., and gained a large following on Twitter. Zelenskyy’s team was very different when he first took office compared to what it is today. But even back then, they quickly realized hiring her was a mistake, and she was let go. The only real difference now may be that she is acting openly as a Russian asset. Or perhaps she is simply trying to use this scandal to gain legal status in the U.S. as someone claiming political persecution.

🚨ALL UKRAINIANS IN OCCUPIED TERRITORIES — FROM DONBAS TO CRIMEA — ARE WAITING FOR THEIR ARMY TO RETURN AND SAVE THEM. YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HEARTBREAKING IT IS FOR THEM TO HEAR PROPOSALS ABOUT CEDING THEIR TERRITORIES TO RUSSIA Russians have sentenced a 70-year-old woman from the temporarily occupied city of Tokmak in Zaporizhzhia Oblast to 15 years in prison on treason charges. The woman’s name was not disclosed, but she was accused of donating part of the pension she continued to receive from Ukraine to support the Ukrainian army. Although she was forced to obtain a russian passport in December 2023, she did not renounce her Ukrainian citizenship. From January to November 2024, she transferred 63,420 rubles (about 35,725 hryvnias / $826) in 24 payments through a Ukrainian banking app to support the army. The case was published on the website of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Court under russian occupation as a show trial meant to intimidate others. This is her o the video 👇

‼️IMPORTANT: Trump said that he provided Ukraine with security guarantees during this meeting. This is another very important moment that much of the media missed amid the flood of information. This issue has been emphasized many times by Zelenskyy and his negotiating team as one of the most critical. Although, it is not yet clear what exactly was agreed to - this is something I’ll be researching and investigating in the coming days - but my sources say it was one of today’s key breakthroughs. Q: President Trump, obviously security is a major issue for the Ukrainians, right? Did you offer any promises, any assurances today? TRUMP: I did, I did. We want to work with Europe, and Europe is going to take over a big part of it, as you can imagine. You know, they're right there. But we're going to help Europe 100%, like they'd help us.

But I wanna really save lives. I don’t need prizes, I need to save lives, and we’re saving a lot of lives. I’ve saved millions and millions of lives, and that’s really what I wanna do.”

‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions. «The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

‼️Something very important is happening on the Mariupol direction. ZELENSKYY: A Ukrainian soldier from Mariupol gave me this chevron, with a clear desire for Ukraine to return to Mariupol and to all of its territory. And we really, really want it to be so. This statement from Zelenskyy is especially symbolic, as Ukraine’s mid-range strike campaign is causing havoc to multiple critical Russian supply routes deep behind the front in southern Ukraine this month. Numerous Russian military transports have been hit on the E105, M14, and H20 highways connecting Rostov to Crimea, which is effectively disrupting supply lines to Mariupol and cutting off logistics to the area. "Dear Rivne region! Today I was here, with our soldiers, I awarded, our guys. Wounded soldiers who are recovering here. One of them from Mariupol, Maksym, gave me a chevron. Here is this chevron. He gave me this with a clear desire for Ukraine to return to Mariupol, to return to its entire land. And we really, really want it to be so. Thank you, thank you to all our soldiers, our defenders. Glory to Ukraine!"- Ukrainian President on Friday, May 22, 2026.

But more is coming.” “For now, through reconnaissance-strike systems, pilots of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine patrol roads up to 160 km deep behind the line of contact. In the cameras of reconnaissance-strike drones: Mariupol and enemy military targets. Enemy forces are using Ukrainian roads in the city and its outskirts to move personnel and military hardware.

‼️ZELENSKYY: None of the Russian drones or missiles can be made without components from Western countries. “None of these drones or types of Russian missiles can be made without parts brought in from other countries. In each of these strikes, whether they realize it or not, there's still the involvement of those working for Russia, those funding Russia, those helping it dodge sanctions and search for not just a few, but thousands of components, without which Russian military production would just stop. Five Kalibr missiles need 145 of these parts. 33 Iskander missiles need 1,122 parts. 650 attack drones of different types need more than 17,000 parts, without which making them is just impossible” - Ukrainian president on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.

‼️ZELENSKYY: The U.S. produces only 60 anti-ballistic missiles a month. Since 2022, Ukraine has sought a license to manufacture them and double output for the U.S., but those requests were rejected. Kyiv is now moving to produce its own anti-ballistic missiles domestically. ZELENSKYY: The United States produces 60 (antiballistic) missiles a month.

Do we even have the capacity? Yes, we're absolutely ready for this, yes. Missiles. We're talking about (antiballistic) missiles, not systems, yes. Ukrainian President on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

‼️ZELENSKYY: The U.S. produces only 60 anti-ballistic missiles a month. Since 2022, Ukraine has sought a license to manufacture them and double output for the U.S., but those requests were rejected. Kyiv is now moving to produce its own anti-ballistic missiles domestically. ZELENSKYY: The United States produces 60 (antiballistic) missiles a month.

‼️ZELENSKYY: They began this war. When we respond, we target their military goals. When they do attacks, they kill civilians. We’re not at the front line. ————————————————— ZELENSKYY: One month ago marked the anniversary of one of the greatest tragedies — the Chernobyl disaster. And, we build a big museum, to honor the people who saved others’ lives — the Chernobyl Museum. And we showed it to the world — but today they destroyed it totally. The missile attacked that and several, buildings. So we are really thankful to our heroic savers and to our people. Yes, DSNS, huh? Yeah. And to policemen. So they help. Rescuers. To rescuers and et cetera, yes. And also they attacked hospitals and attacked kindergartens and schools. So what do we have to do to… JOURNALIST: Russia said it was a retaliation from the previous attacks. ZELENSKYY: They always say that. And it's not true. They understand that we always respond. They began this war, so it's not the question who is the first or who is the second. They began this war. And the most important thing, when we see that when we respond, we target their military goals. When they do attacks, they kill civilians. We’re not at the front line.

“Looks like he (Zelenskyy) had a couple cards to play, 'cause Ukraine is actually winning against Russia” - Rep Adam smith (D-WA-9) - Rep. Adam Smith “And I'll close just by saying one of the other ironies of this, of course, is we have a great example in the world right now of what our strategy should be and where our values should be, and that's Ukraine. And I'm really curious. You know, here we are, we roll out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin. We belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in the White House. He has no cards, right? Well, here we are a year after that. Looks like he had a couple cards to play, 'cause Ukraine is actually winning against Russia. Ukraine, a sovereign democracy standing up against a brutal, oppressive, coercive dictatorship, and we can't even bring ourselves on a consistent basis to say, "We are with Ukraine, and we are against what Putin is doing," and stand up and support them. So I wanna see that strategy to meet the complex threat environment that we have” The House Armed Services Committee is receiving testimony from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine on the Department of Defense FY27 budget request.

Just a quick Saturday Reminder: Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory are not attacks, nor are they escalation. Even “retaliation,” while still an acceptable term, does not accurately describe Kyiv’s actions. They are best described as defense, defensive actions, defensive measures, defensive operations, or deterrence. By contrast, Russia’s actions can only be described as attacks and aggression. None of its strikes can reasonably be characterized as “retaliation” against a nation exercising its right to defend itself from an unprovoked war of aggression.

‼️ZELENSKYY: MIDDLE EASTERN PARTNERS WILL FACE A SHORTAGE OF AIR DEFENSE. THEY’RE USING AIR DEFENSE AGAINST SHAHEDS. THERE ARE FAR MORE DRONES THAN MISSILES "If there's a long war, there will be a shortage of air defense. Middle Eastern partners will have a shortage of air defense then. You see they're using air defense against Shaheds. This shows that, well, look, there aren't as many missiles as Iran has drones, probably, so either way the consumption is very high. And so yes, these are risks for us, certainly, in terms of quantity. We haven't received any signals yet about program cuts, but we ourselves, thank God, can think logically and understand what the risks might be", - Zelenskyy on Mon, Mar 2nd

‼️MIDDLE EAST WAR EXPLAINED: A VERY INTERESTING EXPLANATION FROM ZELENSKYY OF WHAT THE WAR IN IRAN COULD LOOK LIKE IF IT DOESN’T STOP SOON "Right now we're seeing a massive attack. We talked about this. The world isn't ready. No Patriot air defense systems, even with as many batteries as the Middle East has, could withstand the number of Shaheds that Ukraine handles today. Why? Well, because 300, 500 is just impossible. There aren't that many missiles. Yes, Middle Eastern countries are wealthy, they have stockpiles, they have a lot, but eventually it all runs out. And how many PAC-3 anti-ballistic missiles are produced worldwide? 50-60 per month are produced in the United States. The largest primary manufacturer of these missiles. So this is a serious challenge. We need different weapons, we need to know how aviation fights drones, the experience that Ukrainians have. We need mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, the right systems and systems - what we have, - we change systems every six months, well, problems arise every year or two, and sometimes every three months at certain facilities - electronic systems, electronic warfare, radio-electronic warfare. Who in peacetime in the relevant countries we're talking about, who will be changing electronic warfare systems every six months? No one will. Of course, today they work, but in six months with new technologies, they no longer work. A very, very big challenge", - Zelenskyy on Mon, Mar 2nd

‼️BREAKING: ZELENSKYY RESPONDED TO INDIAN PM AND OTHERS WHO UNFAIRLY CONDEMNED UKRAINE FOR A STAGED ATTACK ON PUTIN'S DACHA "You know what honestly causes confusion and, well, uncomfortable feelings? That representatives from India, the Emirates, and several other countries condemned supposed drone strikes on Putin's residence that never even happened. But where's their condemnation? By the way, condemnation of the fact that they're bombing our children and killing our people this whole time. I don't hear anything from India or the Emirates about that, to be honest," - Zelenskyy said to journalists on Tuesday, Dec. 30.

SEN. ANGUS KING (Senator Angus King): Europe is providing 99% of the aid to Ukraine in 2026. And Russia has also become a major beneficiary of the war in Iran, gaining $40–$80 billion in additional oil revenue and relief from sanctions “This indicates what's happened to our support for Ukraine over a period of years. The orange bars are US support. The blue bars are Europe. As you see, Europe is 99% in the year 2026. Same thing with humanitarian and other aid to Ukraine. And yet this is I believe, an existential struggle for the future of democracy, where we had an aggressive country invade a neighboring country without any justification whatsoever. And by the way, that invading country is the major winner so far of the war in Iran. They’ve gotten, the estimates are $40 to $80 billion of additional revenues from oil and the relief of sanctions as a result of the war in Iran” - Sen. Angus King (I-ME)

He is absolutely delusional, which, paradoxically, is very good for Ukraine. But what is actually interesting is that Putin made a similar appeal to Ukrainian soldiers in 2022, before Russian troops were forced to withdraw from the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions. Moscow later framed it as a ‘gesture of goodwill’. PUTIN: Ukraine is facing constant failures at the front, the surrender of the positions of settlements and territories. The situation at the front for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is gradually turning from difficult and critical to catastrophic. Western aid is not helpful. “In this regard, I would like to once again appeal to the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: do not carry out the criminal orders of the illegitimate thieving junta, otherwise you yourself will become accomplices in these crimes. Although the reasons for such criminal behavior of the “Kyiv regime” are clear. You know this better than anyone else. These are constant failures at the front, the surrender of the positions of settlements and territories. The situation at the front for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is gradually turning from difficult and critical to catastrophic. Western aid is not helpful” - Putin on Friday, May 2022.

‼️ZELENSKYY: We will begin joint production with Norway of long-range 155mm artillery shells “Our soldiers at the front, in fact, in all combat brigades, talk about a long caliber of artillery, long-range artillery shells. Killzones are increasing. The use of drones of all types is a priority. But the soldiers themselves say: artillery is needed, and especially long-range artillery. So now we have a new and very strong agreement with Norway. We will begin joint production of long-range 155mm artillery shells — exactly the type of ammunition we need. I thank Norway for taking such a necessary step” - Ukrainian President on Sunday, May 10th.
