This is Father Stepan Podolchak. He kept serving mess in Ukrainian language at the occupied village of Kalanchak in the Kherson region. 2 days ago russian special services grabbed him out from his house barefoot, and put a black beg on his head. The occupiers were torturing heavily Father Stepan and finally killed him. On February 15, russians came back to Father Stepan's home and took his wife to identify the body.

All you need to know on Ukraine & corruption in my oped at @FT👇 ft.com/content/28445b… A petition launched last week by a soldier calling on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to allow open access to asset declarations of government officials attracted more than 80,000 signatures in 24 hours. Yesterday @ZelenskyyUa issued a veto & asked parliament to open e-declarations

President @ZelenskyyUa plans to introduce draft law, that equals corruption to treason during martial law. Sounds like a very attractive initiative, however, it poses huge risks to democracy in Ukraine. Here is why👇 Now corruption cases against top officials are being under the jurisdiction of @nab_ukr, Specialized Anticorruption Prosecution & High Anticorruption Court. Treason is the jurisdiction of the Security Service of Ukraine, which is non-reformed & is under control of the president.

Israel or Korean deal - these are "security guarantees" discussed now by the @POTUS administration for Ukraine. As alternatives to NATO invitation. Ok, if that is the plan, let's discuss what does real Korean or Israel deal mean👇 Israel's security guarantees - apart from decades of multi-billion $ funding from the US budget for weapons - are grounded on nuclear weapons developed by Israel with silence from the US. Is the US ready for Ukraine to have back its nukes? nti.org/countries/isra…

So many experts in the Prigozhin-Putin conflict in the media now. So many opinions on what that means for Russia, Ukraine, and the war. @ICUVua was carefully studying the Kremlin decision-making matrix and published conclusions, which can be helpful 👇 https://t.co/gTRhWu5wLoukrainianvictory.org/wp-content/upl…
While Putin remains to be in the center of gravity in the Kremlin he is not an isolated decision-maker in Russia. He is influenced by family, confidants, and power brokers with divergent interests.

For everyone who still spreads "doubts" whether it was an explosion in Kakhovka. Norwegian seismic monitoring group Norsar confirmed an explosion at the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine. jordskjelv.no/meldinger/seis… Data from regional seismic stations show clear signals on Tuesday, June 6th, at 2:54 local time. The timing and location coincide with media reports of the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam. The signals indicate that an explosion is involved.

Here is a brilliant explanation by Ukrainian combat pilots and officers from UAF on why Ukraine needs fourth-generation fighter jets like F16 and why MIG29s which we are now receiving from partners are not a solution👇 The Russians change tactics all the time. They make traps. They will send up a Russian jet alone, tricking the Ukrainian pilot into thinking there is only one jet. Then, two or three more will appear either side of it, effectively swarming the Ukrainian aircraft.

My first chat with openai was on F16. First AI was responding like @JakeSullivan46, but after specifying questions, AI started to speak more like @CinC_AFU 👇 If Ukraine received 2 squadrons of F16s block 50 & there would be enough pilots trained & there would be a company skilled to do maintenance of these jets - would Ukraine be able to liberate all its territories occupied by Russia?

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is the largest public procurer in the country. Most of its contracts are secret & not available for public oversight, even if this is the purchase of food. This creates huge corruption risks, which must be addressed by @oleksiireznikov👇 This weekend @zn_ua published an article by a prominent investigative journalist Yuriy Nikolov alleging MOD purchasing food products at 2 or 3 times higher cost than the market price zn.ua/ukr/economic-s…

"Without enough armored vehicles, we are losing the best of our best people" - told @andriana_susak on Tuesday." On Thursday she was severely wounded. Her civilian car drow over a mine at the frontline near Kherson. Miraculously she survived but is in a very hard condition. Broken arm & shoulder, broken jaw, broken ribs, damaged spine, stomach, & lungs. Now, at least @andriana_susak is breathing herself, she is conscious, best Ukrainian doctors are now with her, but recovery & rehabilitation will be long and painful.

While Ukraine resists russian onslaught and prepares to repel another attack on energy system, betrayal came from the side we didn't expect. @VeniceComm makes recommendations that destroys reform of the Constitutional Court and turn us towards Russia./1 Last week, @VeniceComm made an opinion regarding the Ukrainian draft law on the reform of the procedure for the selection of judges of the Constitutional Court. This reform is the first step that Ukraine must take in order to open negotiations on EU membership. /2

Ideal storm or Black swan or Unimaginable👇 - No, the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine is unimaginable.
- No, Ukraine will fall on the 4th day.
- No, destroying the entire city of Mariupol with missiles & bombs is impossible... - No, Kyiv will fall under occupation
- No, this is only Putin, poor Russian boys sent to Putin's war
- No, raping children, murdering women, shooting civilians for fun, mass graves in Bucha, Irpin is unimaginable
- No, Ukraine can't operate HIMARS

The lack of electricity does not stop doctors from all over Ukraine from making wonders.
📍 In Lviv: in just 30 hours, doctors performed 9 operations of transplantation of 2 hearts, a liver, and 6 kidneys. 100+ specialists were involved. 1/ 📍 In Cherkasy: doctors from regional cancer center performed 2 operations of transplanting kidneys almost simultaneously in the same operating room, having to start using the generators right during the operations were happening. 2/

"The missile, which killed 2 people in Poland, unlikely was fired from Russia". "Let's do investigation". Let's wait & allow Russia to prepare dozens of versions, why it was Ukraine's fault. And then investigation in 5 years will prove it was Russia's guilt as with MH17 It is the fact that Russia fired about 100 missiles yesterday attacking key Ukraine critical infrastructure. It was done intentionally. Lviv, which is 70 km from Polish border was left yesterday without electricity as a result of the strike.

Why F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine is the must have reaction of the US to today's strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure and Poland: Air dominance is the key to winning any war under US war strategies. We can't have air dominance in Ukraine with Soviet junk jets like Mig29s or Su bombers. Russians simply have better versions and more such Soviet junk. Russians also have unlimited amounts of missiles

I am traveling a lot within the last 8 months & had to open many visas to different countries. The most awful visa application service I've met is provided by VFS Global Vise Service @vfsglobalcare. Canadian government outsourced visa procedures to this company. It is insane For a Ukrainian to obtain a Canadian visa one needs to fill in the application form, then pass fingerprints, then go for an interview, and then receive a visa. I am invited to speak at @HFXforum and had hoped the process could be expedited, but I am facing @VFSGlobal craziness👇

Dr Oleksiy Komarov is one of key leaders of Ukrainian community in Taiwan. He has PhD in neuroscience from Taiwanese university and leads now team of developers of artificial intelligence products for largest global IT company. I’m proud of Ukrainians in Taiwan Every modern smartphone, computer, car has a microchip produced in Taiwan, which is the most advanced producer of semiconductors in the world. Taiwanese universities & companies are interested to cooperate closely with Ukraine, but we don’t have official diplomatic relationships

.@FATFNews must exclude Russia from the organization and blacklist it! This can be done during the ongoing plenary in Paris lasting until 21 Oct. Be on the right side of history - perform your duty and protect the global financial system! #RussiaIsATerroristState

1/ As a result of sham referenda Putin is performing absurd ceremony on signing "decrees" on annexation of Ukrainian territories. Here is how his troops «greeted» civilians on these territories just within last couple of days: 2/ Zaporizhzhia oblast - this morning Russian troops attacked hundreds of civilians in a humanitarian convoy killing 23 and wounding 28.

Ukrainian women soldiers just finished a very intense 1-week visit to Washington DC. It was an honor for me & @MarushevskaY to assist the delegation sent by the order of General Zaluzhnyi upon the invitation of @IRIglobal. Below is a quick report from the visit👇 Key message: we are thankful for American support, US weapons were key for defending Kyiv & making a successful Kharkiv counteroffensive, however, this is not enough to liberate all our occupied territories where people are tortured and killed by Russians.

This is FSB base at the occupied territories of Georgia. Russia uses it to control movement in and out the occupied zone. Part of Russian military from occupied areas in Georgia was recently redeployed to fight in Ukraine. Invasion of Georgia back in 2008 was a repetition for Russia’s large scale war in Ukraine. Kremlin tested the response of the West & found out that most of liberal democracies are keen to keep business as usual with Russia despite the brutal violation of international law
