Ukrainian soldiers defend the country on the front line so that their families, loved ones, and children can live in a free and safe nation.
Behind every ordinary day stands their courage, resilience, and daily fight.

Russia has effectively lost the ability to use occupied Crimea as a naval base, although it continues to launch air strikes against Ukraine and maintain military infrastructure on the peninsula, Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said.

STOP calling it a DECOY plane. It was a BAIT plane.
When a threat is only hypothetical, it’s a decoy plane. This happened once before—WITH press knowledge.
When a threat is KNOWN to exist, leaving the press to face it uses them as BAIT.

Trump’s secret flight echoes Clinton’s Pakistan plane swap, with key difference
Bill Clinton’s White House used a similar plane-change maneuver in 2000. But unlike July’s flight, the press corps was briefed on the operation and its dangers.

Yabloko has no access to funding/media.
But still the Kremlin is scared, trying to block it with ludicrous "charges" such as a copyright infringement. But when this image was magnified in court, it revealed the author's name, clearing Yabloko.
Laughter & applause broke out.
