Last night, while defending Ukrainian skies from a massive Russian air attack, First-Class Pilot Lieutenant Colonel Maksym Ustymenko, born in 1993, gave his life.

1/n Image
2/ Flying an F-16 fighter jet, Ustymenko unleashed the full arsenal of onboard weapons, successfully shooting down seven enemy aerial targets. While engaging the final target, his aircraft was hit and began losing altitude.
3/ In those final moments, he did everything possible to steer his jet away from a populated area, preventing further tragedy on the ground. He did not have time to eject.
4/ Maksym died as a true Hero — protecting not only our skies but also Ukrainian people on the ground.
5/ Eternal glory to Lieutenant Colonel Maksym Ustymenko. Eternal glory to all Ukrainian defenders who give their lives so Ukraine may live.

A bitter history lesson about the relationship between Poland and Ukraine.

Recently, Ukrainian historian and journalist Vakhtang Kipiani wrote the following after the Polish president’s visit to Ukraine:

1/n Image
2/ “If security of the Polish president can calmly wear an Armia Krajowa patch during a visit to Ukraine even though that army carried out bloody atrocities against Ukrainians then a red-and-black OUN flag on Ukraine’s staff during a visit to Poland should also be normal.” Image
3/ For those unfamiliar with the background: Poland and Ukraine share a long, painful, and deeply entangled history.

The Polish view of the Ukrainian liberation movement (OUN-UPA) has been shaped not by historical facts but by decades of Soviet NKVD propaganda.

What Happened to the Budapest Memorandum?

In 1994, under U.S. pressure, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal. Over 1,000 cruise missiles.

1/n Image
2/ Over 1,000 cruise missiles. A fleet of strategic bombers. All dismantled — with U.S. assistance — in exchange for security assurances from the U.S., the UK, and russia.
3/ This agreement was called the Budapest Memorandum.

Today, the U.S. State Department and the White House have deleted all references to this agreement from their websites.

Incredible historic video showing footage from operation “Spiderweb” — a Ukrainian strike that will go down in history as one of the most successful special operations ever conducted.

Here are some facts about the operation:

1/n
2/ Ukrainian special forces spent 1.5 years preparing and planning the attack.
3/ Special cargo containers were custom-designed (see photos) to conceal drones. The drones were hidden in wooden boxes mounted beneath the container roofs.

Very disappointing to see this coming from the Polish people. They, of all people, should know better.

A recent poll shows a troubling shift in attitudes in Poland:

1/n Image
2/ • 46% of Poles now believe military aid to Ukraine should be reduced or halted.
• Only 15% support the idea of sending troops for a peacekeeping mission.
• While 52% still want Poland to support Ukraine diplomatically, 29% oppose even that.
3/ The main driver behind these attitudes? Fear.
• 25% believe a russian attack on Poland is likely.
• Just 9% think the Polish army is ready.

North Korea may send additional troops to russia to fight against Ukraine within the next two months.

According to South Korean intelligence, this move is likely tied to preparations for a potential large-scale russian offensive during that period.

1/n Image
2/ The assessment follows signs of renewed mobilization in North Korea and a recent visit by a senior russian Security Council official to Pyongyang.
3/ Beyond combat troops, up to 25,000 North Koreans may also be deployed to russia to assist in manufacturing “Shahed” drones.
