‼️ Spotted at Frankfurt Airport @Airport_FRA. A man with a Russian Airborne (VDV) tattoo reading "No one but us" ("Никто кроме нас") with their logo - a panda and rifle. A German cop told me: "There is nothing we can do." Germany, why do criminals walk free on your soil?

“Technology decides wars. Ukraine calls for those who can master it: join the drone systems company.” - Seen in Kyiv 🇺🇦 recruiting soldiers to work on drones. Though less in the news these days: The fight for freedom continues.
⚡️⚡️ In Kyiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦 helicopters scoop water from lakes to extinguish the fires from Putin’s bombing of the city last night. 👉 Multiple civilian fatalities.
“Deep behind enemy lines, the Phoenix UAV unit struck Russian forces, destroying nine tanks and vehicles and disrupting their heavy transport.” - United24

200,000 YouTube subscribers in 3 months. It shows the international community realizes we are not getting the full truth: Ukraine does not "need" a bad peace deal and Russia is not "strong." This is what is really happening: ▶️ www.youtube.com/@JasonJaySmart
Calling out Russia’s devious intentions is not “Russophobia” - it’s realism.
Russians carrying an American flag are storming Ukrainian Armed Forces positions on the Zaporizhzhia front.
‼️ Putin’s peace plan demands (Reuters): - 🇺🇦 withdraws from Donetsk & Luhansk - Frontline freeze in Kherson & Zaporizhzhia - No ceasefire until full deal signed - Recognition of Crimea as 🇷🇺 - Rollback of sanctions on Moscow - 🇺🇦 barred from NATO - Russian language & Orthodox Church rights
It’s quite clearer not Putin. I’m not into conspiracies - but that’s not the Russian dictator.

⚡️I’m in Kyiv 🇺🇦. Explosions shake the city. An Iranian drone screams overhead - machine guns rip the sky. This is hell. And it’s moving west. Lithuania 🇱🇹 - a NATO country - was hit by drones this week. Support Ukraine now - or regret it later.

➡️ If the @nbcnews.com report is accurate, the Islamic Republic is admitting they illegally infiltrated terrorists into the U.S. or are at least trying to get us to believe they have. Either way, it’s proof Iran has long seen itself at war with the U.S. ↖️ t.co/OkWxxxQkxd
