On Pobedobesie Day, the russian occupiers installed a monument to Stalin in Melitopol #Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia region.

The russians glorify mass murderer Stalin, whose regime did the Holodomor famine, mass deportations, the Gulag camps and other horrific crimes that killed many millions of Ukrainians.

Occupation is not peace.

russia continues attacks across the frontline despite Putin’s declared “parade ceasefire.”

According to Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, from midnight to noon, russia violated the ceasefire 734 times and launched 63 assault operations, 23 of which are still ongoing.

Russian forces carried out 586 attacks on Ukrainian positions, including 464 with heavy weapons.

Additionally, there were 176 drone strikes and 10 airstrikes using 16 guided bombs during this period.

Putin declared the so-called ceasefire from midnight on May 8 until midnight on May 11. Ukraine had proposed a 30-day ceasefire, but russia rejected the offer. Russian propaganda claimed on the morning of May 8 that the “ceasefire” was already in effect.

There can be no just peace without the return of every kidnapped 🇺🇦 child.

Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire — but a real one, not a three-day Moscow propaganda parade.

▶️ Over the past week, Russia launched more than 1,180 attack drones, 1,360 guided bombs, and 10 missiles against peaceful Ukrainians

▶️ At the same time, the Kremlin cynically calls for a “period of silence” on May 7–9 — to align with its staged propaganda operation

▶️ Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire, but it must be real and lasting — at least 30 days of silence in the sky, at sea, and on land

▶️ Putin refuses real de-escalation — it seeks only to buy time for further aggression

A parade pause is not peace.

Russia who started WW2 (with Germany) loves to celebrate 1945. Just don’t ask who helped Hitler start the war in 1939.

World War commenced with agreement. In 1939 the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany invaded Europe, which subsequently initiated the conflict.

Soviet russia's crimes must never be erased from history.

📢 Attention Ukraine right after the propaganda parade in Moscow is over war criminal Putin is going to lanuch a massive deadly attack on peaceful Ukrainians. Please be aware. This will be one of Putin's biggest mass murderer attacks. ⚠️

Because flag officers are most likely to oppose this attempted fascist takeover.

DUI-hire can't deal with so many people far more qualified than him.

When you put a natural-born loser into leadership, he doesn't become a winner. He doesn't grow into the position or stay out of the way. He brings everything down.

The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked. Remember how US leadership chat about war plans on a publically available app, on their personal phones.

They upload their messaging straight to Israeli (fmr) intelligence.

From 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach.

⚠️ Assessment: Highest level of confidence one or multiple foreign intel agencies are reading those chats in real time.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

Number of injured in Russian UAV attack on Zaporizhzhia rises to 31.

For two months Putin has ignored calls for a full and unconditional cease-fire. Instead of peace, he answers with strikes, mass murders and escalation.

We must force Russia into peace.

Putin's forces targeting as usual residential areas, damaging many apartment buildings, private houses, a grocery store, a school and cars.

While Ukraine proves commitment to peace, russian forces continue the brutal bombing of civilians.

Putin decided to bomb them while they were sleeping.

THIS! US Partially Lifts Military Aid Pause for Ukraine.

Peace Talks Slow because Putin, a wanted war criminal, isn’t seeking peace, only buying time.

The United States has approved its first $50 million export to Ukraine through direct commercial sales. The request was submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act. In March, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced his country’s intention to buy $30-50 billion worth of air defense systems and weapons from the US.
