Russia continues to write its version of “peace” in fire and blood. Overnight, Zaporizhzhia endured over 10 strikes. One person was killed, 22 injured — children among them.

Yet another night of russia “seeking peace” by launching missiles and drones across Ukraine. Explosions echo through cities, including Kyiv, still reeling from the last attack.

In Kyiv, a dog refuses to leave the ruins of a building destroyed by a russian strike — still waiting for its owner, who was killed💔

Overnight, Sumy and Poltava came under a massive russian drone attack: critical infrastructure was damaged, all water facilities in Sumy lost power, and large parts of both regions were left without electricity.

❗️On the Pokrovsk front, russia has amassed an army large enough to invade any average European country, says Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the “Khortytsia” Operational Command.

Seeing Kharkiv so alive today brings tears of joy, but also of sorrow — for all it has endured and for the peace it still has not known❤️🩹

Russian troops struck a bus in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with an FPV drone. A 59-year-old man was killed instantly – his head was torn off by the blast.

For several hours, russia attacked the city of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast with drones and FAB-250 bombs. 21 apartment buildings, houses, shops, and a gas pipeline were damaged. Due to the threat of renewed strikes, repairs are currently impossible.

A large fire broke out in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, where russia attacked critical infrastructure with drones.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
In Kharkiv Oblast, a russian FPV drone killed a 70-year-old man and a 71-year-old woman in their car. Somewhere, a russian soldier piloting that drone likely laughed — pleased to add two more kills to their brutal human safari, where murder is the mission, and joy is found in death.

Russian troops struck an ambulance with an FPV drone in the Kupiansk district of Kharkiv Oblast. Two people were injured.

I dream of peace. But I fear the kind of “peace” that’s carved out under threat, soaked in blood, and sold as compromise.

❗️Monitoring channels report the takeoff of a group of russian Tu-95 bombers — likely indicating that Ukraine may come under a massive missile attack within the next few hours.

It’s a strange thing — watching your country’s fate, and your own, debated behind closed doors. In distant rooms with polished floors and anxious voices, decisions are being made that will shape your nation — and you. And the most you can do… is hold your breath and wait.

Putin’s message to the Washington meeting? Sirens across Ukraine. Russia speaks its own language — terror.

❗️In Zaporizhzhia, russian Iskander missile strikes killed three civilians and injured 20 others.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
One after another — cold-bloodedly and deliberately — russia sent five kamikaze drones into an apartment building in Kharkiv, killing seven people, including an entire family with two children. The youngest was just one year old.

People are screaming under the rubble of their home in Kharkiv, which russia attacked with five drones this morning. Trump rolled out the red carpet, applauded, and shook hands with the man responsible for this horror.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
Russia struck a residential building in Kharkiv with five!!! Shahed drones, killing five people — among them a one-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. At least 20 others were injured, among them six children. Search and rescue efforts are still underway.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
UPD. Fortunately, the russian missile that struck Kharkiv did not hit a residential building directly, but landed nearby, damaging 12 of them. As of now, eight people have been reported injured.

❗️Around 20 russian Shahed drones are encircling Odesa from all directions. The city is being surrounded — quite literally — by flying death machines.

❗️Russia has just struck a residential building in Kharkiv with a ballistic missile! Earlier, explosions were also reported in Sumy. Putin continues to shed the blood of civilians.

While another will say: “Maybe he should’ve compromised.” As if that’s ever stopped a dictator before.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
Zelenskyy will reject handing over Donbas, as any leader protecting his people would. Russia will respond with more civilian bloodshed, and somehow one will say: “If only he’d given Putin what he wanted, maybe they’d still be alive.”
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
Of course Trump praises a dictator — he’s just giving credit where he sees a role model.

❗️Russia struck the suburbs of Kharkiv with an aerial bomb!

"Trump on Saturday split from Ukraine and key European allies after his summit with Putin, adopting Putin’s plan for a sweeping peace agreement based on Ukraine ceding unoccupied territory to Russia, instead of the urgent cease-fire Trump had said he wanted before the meeting."

My soul screams in agony—and the Overton window creaks open, letting this madness seep into what we accept.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
This morning, I woke up with a jolt, asking myself: Is this real, or a nightmare where justice dies and Ukrainian lives mean nothing? A world where death stalks every street in Ukraine, and the monster who brings it, Putin, struts down a red carpet to applause.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
Just compare how Trump talked to Zelensky and how he fawned over Putin today and tell, whose ally is the US?
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
The US president claps for Putin, war criminal and mass murderer—applauding a blood-drenched vile monster, while Ukraine suffers.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
While Putin and Trump trade smiles, russian drones are attacking Ukraine! My blood boils at this vile hypocrisy!
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
I’m out of words, suffocated by their hypocrisy, lies, and greed—just a soul-ripping scream to damn them all.

Putin pretends not to hear the question, "When will you stop killing civilians?"

We’re living in a mad age — Putin, hunted by the ICC, will meet Trump in Alaska, with Trump fawning over him. They’ll plot Ukraine’s future without its voice, and a minerals deal may empower a war criminal. This is insane.

Right now, Kremenchuk in Poltava Oblast is under russian missile attack. Russia is ready to end the war, they say.
Iryna Voichuk (@irynavoichuk.bsky.social)
In any talks, pressure must be on russia — not Ukraine. Negotiations about Ukraine must include Ukraine. Ukraine and its people are the only victims of this war. Don’t believe those twisting reality to make russia’s war look “provoked.”

Last night, russian forces heavily bombed Bilozerske near Dobropillia, turning the city into hell on earth. Two civilians were killed, seven injured.

“I’ll tell Putin to end the war — he won’t mess with me” sounds a lot like “Peace for our time.” We know how that turned out.
