The Russians have no conscience
#Ukraine hit by yet another mass #drone, #missile attack, 1 killed, 9 injured in #Kyiv
#Russian strikes are always an assault on #humanity — in Kyiv, a #kindergarten caught fire, along with #residential #buildings and other #civilian #infrastructure. Ordinary #apartment buildings were damaged in #Kharkiv, #Ivano-Frankivsk and the region
Under constant attack, Ukraine’s arms makers take shelter in #European factories
“Our joint projects are the first real chances for our #Ukrainian production abroad,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said while announcing a newly signed agreement with #Denmark on July 4. “This concerns #drones, and many other necessary forms of #weapons.”

Russia’s ‘largest and most secret’ #drone factory showcased in Kremlin-media #propaganda video
The facility at the #Alabuga industrial park near #Kazan in the #Tatarstan region is one of #Russia's main production hubs, allowing it to produce a reported 5,200 #Shahed-type strike #drones and decoy models a month as of May.
Ukraine seeks $6 billion to close weapons production gap, prioritising #drone #interceptors
#Ukraine determined to increase homegrown drone capabilities, focusing on interceptor drones to counter #Russia's frequent Shahed-type drone attacks
“This would allow us to produce more #FPV drones, more interceptor drones to repel Shahed attacks, and additional #long-range #weapons so that the war also continues on Russian territory,”
Agenda from our side is clear
Zelensky outlines 3 key priorities for potential next round of #PeaceTalks with #Russia
The agenda from our side is clear:
- Return of prisoners of war
- Return of #children #abducted by Russia
- Preparation of a leaders’ meeting
“It is clear to all that truly effective talks can only take place at the level of national leaders.”

Friends of #Ukraine.
I recently joined Coach Nate on the Truth in the Arena podcast to share my #humanitarian #volunteer journey—from the #Poland -Ukraine border in 2022 to the continued work in Lviv, Kyiv, and Kherson.
I’ll never forget the resilience of displaced Ukrainians—or the strength I witnessed in our collective effort.
Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

This is what #Ukraine could hit in #Russia with US Tomahawk missiles
The weapons for #Ukraine #rumor mill went into overdrive earlier this week when it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump was considering supplying #Kyiv with #Tomahawk #CruiseMissiles.
Tomahawks would definitely be a significant upgrade for Ukraine’s arsenal, especially in terms of #long-range strike capabilities

Our goals are clear: #Kremlin unwilling to compromise on demands ahead of proposed 3rd round of #PeaceTalks
Moscow unwilling to shift from maximalist demands in ending its #war with #Ukraine, as #Putin remains focused on achieving his goals on the #battlefield, a Kremlin spokesperson said on July 20.
"The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear," Peskov added.
Marsik sends you greetings!

As Russia teeters on collapse, fear drives the #Kremlin’s censorship. From an FSB-controlled messenger to blacklists of “extremist” music, and internet blackouts from #Moscow to the Pacific, the desperation is clear

Russia weaponizing deportation
#Ukraine evacuated 43 citizens being held along the #Russia-Georgia border on July 19 that had been recently #deported from #Russia, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced.
Instead of being brought to the #Ukrainian border, 56 #Ukrainian #deportees were taken to a basement facility in #Georgia where they were being held in a transit zone, aid group Volunteers #Tbilisi reported.
#Pavlohrad in #Dnipropetrovsk Oblast that became key #humanitarian #aid #hub for those evacuating the front lines, suffered one of its most severe attacks of the war
A hellish night and morning for Pavlograd. The most massive attack on the city. #Explosion after explosion. #Russian #terrorists struck with #missiles, #drones
Fires following strikes & to:
- 9 high-rise buildings
- Houses
- Educational institution
Russia aims to launch 2,000 drones towards Ukraine at once
Staggering figure described by Freuding, who heads #Ukraine task force at #German #Defense Ministry, comes as #Russia continues to expand its #drone production
#Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service said #Kremlin plans to produce 2 million first-person-view drones & 30,000 #long-range & decoy drones in 2025, marking a critical expansion of #Moscow's drone #warfare program.
