With Russian air defenses now seemingly almost completely absent from Crimea, Ukrainian Armed Forces are freely taking out any targets they choose.

Early this morning..

• a Project 22460 "Ochotnik" patrol ship;
• a radar station from the S-400 complex;
• a "Forpost" UAV;
• a Project 1496M1 marine tugboat;
• a Project 16640 ship;
• a 02510 "BK-16" landing craft;
• a Ka-27 helicopter.

In the past 10 days Hungary's Russian-backed Orban regime has attacked Ukraine by the following:

- Blocked EU's €90 billion loan that they previously agreed to
- Stolen two Ukrainian state bank armored trucks filled with $80million, now holding 7 of their employees hostage
- Threatened to cut off sales of electricity to Ukraine
- Threatened to cut sales of diesel to Ukraine
- Producing several propaganda videos/day attacking Kyiv

Ukrainian President made a surprise visit at the frontline, this time in Druzhivka. The city is one of the fortress cities in Donetsk region and the very heart of the free Donetsk region which Russians desperately have been trying to take for 4 years and now want to get for free.

President Zelenskyy made clear that not even an inch of Ukrainian territory will be given to the Russian invaders.

Canada has issued a gold coin in the shape of a Ukrainian pysanka.

The coin has become the eighth gold pysanka in the Royal Canadian Mint’s collection. This time, it features a rose design. On the obverse of the coin, the profile of the British monarch, King Charles III, is traditionally engraved.

The coin has a face value of 250 Canadian dollars, but its retail price is nearly $18,000. In total, 350 coins were minted.

A pysanka is a traditional Ukrainian Easter egg decorated with traditional symbols and made with wax and colorants.

Russians marched with their national flag at the Paralympics opening ceremony for the first time since 2014

Ukraine sharply criticized the decision and chose to boycott the official opening. Fourteen other countries made the same decision.

Earlier, Ukrainian athletes were banned from competing in uniforms featuring a map of their country.

Apparently, sports officials are not bothered by the fact that Russia raises its tricolor while occupying foreign cities.

This is obscene

I am the Ukrainian skeleton racer who was wrongfully disqualified from the Olympics last month because of my “Memory Helmet.”

Tonight in Milano-Cortina, the Paralympic Games are opening. The Committee has bizarrely permitted Russian soldier-athletes to participate under the Russian flag.

The head of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) literally stated that they don’t care about what Russian soldiers did in Ukraine. The problem is that we do care.

They are killing Ukrainians on the battlefield, bombing our cities, and committing genocide. Now, with this step of allowing them to compete, the IPC is giving them the opportunity to continue committing genocide by spreading Russian narratives with Russian flags and symbols.

They try to manipulate the situation by pointing out that the movement started after World War II, but during World War II the Olympic Games were cancelled, and German athletes were not invited and did not take part in the Games until 1952.

It looks like the head of the IPC doesn’t know the history of the Olympic and Paralympic movement at all.
What a shame.
This whole story is just getting worse and worse.

For those who don’t understand why Ukrainian banks transport cash on armored vehicles from other banks in Europe:

1) War in Ukraine – planes don’t fly.
2) War in Ukraine – people don’t trust banks; they prefer cash. In 2025 alone Ukraine bought more than $20 billion in cash.
3) Oschadbank is the second-largest bank in Ukraine, with a branch in nearly every town, and each branch performs currency exchange.
4) Ukrainian refugees abroad send wire transfers into Ukraine from the EU. Ukrainians then withdraw that money as cash from banks.
5) Aftermarket sales of cars and property in Ukraine are mostly conducted in cash, usually in euros or USD.

This was a routine cash transport, and the actions of the Hungarian government amount to piracy, attempting to juxtapose it with Ukraine halting Russian oil supplies to Hungary. In reality, Ukraine does not detain Hungarians or confiscate oil shipments. Ukraine simply shut down Russian oil transit because it funds the war against Ukraine, a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
