🇺🇦💔 The son was supposed to take care of his elderly father, but Russia and its bloody war took his life. It’s heartbreaking. The officer presents the national flag to the elderly father at the funeral of his son, who died defending Ukraine. 📹 alex_tretyak/Instagram

Tomsk is one of the largest cities in Russian Siberia, home to more than half a million people. As of late April 2026, this is what one of its main streets – Mira Avenue looks like. On May 5 alone, Russia spent tens of millions of dollars attacking Ukrainian сities with missiles, drones, and guided bombs. But instead of making sure Russians can at least drive on normal roads, the Kremlin keeps pouring billions into killing Ukrainians and destroying residential buildings.

⚡️🇺🇦Nobody gave a sh*t about Ukraine': Zelenskyy mentioned in a podcast with Lex Fridman the countries that signed the Budapest Memorandum, which was supposed to ensure Ukraine's territorial integrity. 'Consultations, Ukraine holds consultations if its territorial integrity is violated. And everybody should be at the consultations, everybody should come, everybody should meet urgently - America, Britain, Russia, France, China. Did anyone come? No. Has anyone responded to these official letters? Has anyone held consultations? No. Why? Nobody gave a sh*t,' Zelenskyy said.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Today, during the Prayer Breakfast in Kyiv, I tried to ask Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, to clarify the details of Washington’s proposed security guarantees for Kyiv (if any). Kellogg gave no reply. Hearing my question, as well as others from journalists, he remained silent. His aide, when asked why Kellogg was not responding, briefly remarked: “That’s not my business.” Notably, during a press conference, the US President’s special representative also refused to answer journalists’ questions. Perhaps it was because he had nothing to say. Ukraine’s experience with the 1994 Budapest Memorandum – signed, among others, by the United States but effectively nullified after Russia’s aggression raises fears that future US security guarantees could prove just as empty.

💔 This is the central part of #Borova in the east of Kharkiv region. Before the invasion, up to 5,000 people lived here, now it's half that number. A few days ago, the Russian army destroyed the house of culture with a guided bomb, and also made ruins of the private houses and shops around it. Borova endured Russian occupation in 2022, but its survival is uncertain. Relentless guided bomb strikes and artillery attacks have already wiped out hundreds of residential and private buildings, leaving the town’s infrastructure in ruins. 📹 lysenko_oleksandr/TikTok

🤬 Russians committed another war crime against civilians in the Kharkiv region: on the road to the village of Kotlyarivka near Kupiansk, Russian soldiers opened fire on a civilian woman with small arms and a mortar, wounding her, and then killed her with an FPV drone. This crime was committed by drone operators from the Russian group “Judgment Day,” who do not even hide the fact that they attack civilians.

🇺🇦🫂 Hundreds of Kyiv residents gathered on the banks of the Dnipro River on Jan. 31 to celebrate life even with temperatures at –10°C/14°F amid widespread power cuts across the capital. Kyiv has been hit by major outages, leaving most of the city without electricity and water. The metro has also been disrupted. Despite the blackout and the cold, people still showed up – a small reminder that Ukrainians keep living, even when Russia tries to push the country into darkness.

💔 Exactly four years ago, on March 1, 2022, Russia hit the Kharkiv Regional State Administration building with cruise missiles. According to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov, 44 people were killed, and at least 35 others were injured. Russian forces fired two Kalibr cruise missiles at the building, destroying its right wing from roof to basement and heavily damaging nearby buildings around Freedom Square in central Kharkiv. This was a deliberate strike on the heart of a civilian city – and one of the earliest symbols of how Russia would wage this war: terror against civilians, not a fight with the military.

💔 Life in Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast, is a daily struggle for survival without access to water, electricity, phone communication, places to buy and cook food, medical care, or rescuers. The relatives of this old man were unable to contact him for a few weeks while he was lying in his apartment, suffering from a stroke, without the possibility of getting in touch. Despite this, his dog did not leave him until the end, trying to comfort its pet parent. Volunteer Denys Khrystov managed to evacuate the man to a hospital in Dobropillya, but he passed away. It’s heartbreaking to think how many lives were lost in frontline cities not from wounds, but from treatable illnesses, simply because people couldn’t call for help. With no phone service and ambulances unable to reach them under constant shelling, many died in silence, waiting for aid that never came.

🇺🇦🕯🪖 Kharkiv said goodbye to commander of the Peaky Blinders group Anton Spitsyn. Family, friends and comrades-in-arms came to say goodbye to him on the Alley of Glory. Anton had been fighting since the first days of the Russian invasion. During a combat mission, the Special Forces officer was wounded. Doctors fought for his life, but didn't manage to save him. He was born and grew up in the Kharkiv region. Before the invasion, he had his own construction business, was engaged in charitable activities - he taught English to orphans for free, and renovated a children's psychoneurological center at his own expense. Peaky Blinders consists of volunteers who defended #Kharkiv in Feb. 2022. First, they acted in civilian clothes, using weapons taken from the Russians and volunteer weapons. Later, they became part of the Ukraine's Forces and performed critical tasks on the front line. The unit soldiers fought in defense of Vovchansk, and in October 2024, was deployed to defend Pokrovsk in Donetsk region. 📷📹 lyuk media, translation and caption by me

I don't even know how to comment on "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed…"
