🇺🇦  Total of 20 Ukrainian F-16 pilots are expected to graduate by the end of this year — half of the 40 needed to operate a full squadron of 20 jets, — Politico citing the former DOD official

The Biden administration has told Kyiv it lacks the school seats in its Arizona-based program to accept more than 12 pilot trainees at a time. Denmark will train 8 pilots by the end of the year. Eight new pilots are scheduled to begin training in Romania

To fully train the pilots of all 80+ F-16s that will be transferred to Ukraine, another year and a half is needed

Vasya, a dog who served with Ukrainian military, has died. He chewed off his paw to get out of a trap

The dog of the cane-corso breed died due to a serious illness. He had been serving with the Ukrainian military in Donbas since 2016.

During the service, Vasya got tangled in the wire near the militants' positions. The scouts planned to evacuate the dog, however, he soon returned to his own. As it turned out, the dog chewed his paw to get out.

The dog Vasya was given a prosthesis in Poland. After rehabilitation, he returned to Ukraine to his owners.

What not to do with an unexploded FPV drone: hit it, hard, with a stick...

Except if you are a Russian soldier. This video is an excellent training video for Russian soldiers.

🟣 This is the "Journalist" who held Noa Argamani in his home. He, his wife and his father were among the "civilians" that were killed.
I am not an expert on int'l law but IMHO anyone who holds hostages kidnapped in a terrorist raid is a valid target

I hope he makes it to the Kobzon concert

✔️ Attempt on a traitor - Kupyan mayor-collaborator Hennadiy Matsegora is in critical condition

👤 On June 7, 2024, in the city of Old Oskol in russia, an attempt was made on the traitor of Ukraine Hennadiy Matsehora, who held the position of the mayor of Kupyansk, Kharkiv region, from the party of the opposition party.

❗️ Matsegora voluntarily agreed to fully cooperate with the russian invaders.

👉 In particular, in June 2022, he signed the so-called protocol on the creation of the occupying Kharkiv administration and publicly announced it.

❗️ After the liberation, Kup'yansk escaped with the russians to the Belgorod region, where the Moscow masters placed increased security in Matsegora, which, however, did not spare the collaborating mayor.

☑️ Currently, for the second day in a row, Moscow doctors are trying to prevent Matsegory from going to the Kobzon concert. The condition of the traitor of the Ukrainian people is critical.

They like to pull small clips that look strange. When you see the whole video it blends in & doesn't look strange. They are trying to make it look strange for their propaganda

💔🥺 5-year-old Svitlana dreamed of dancing a waltz with her father at her kindergarten graduation, but the war prevented that.

"Last year, she saw her friend's graduation, where she danced a beautiful dance with her dad. She really wanted to dance like that."
- says her mother Oksana with tears in her eyes.

😣However, unfortunately, the girl did not wait. Her father, Ihor Radchenko, gave his life in 2023, defending Ukraine. 😭

At Svetlana's graduation, the kindergarten dance was canceled for all children, because most of them have dads at the front. In order to support the true friend of the brigade, Igor's brothers came to the holiday. ❤️

99-year-old British World War II veteran tried to send russian medal back because of russia's invasion of Ukraine

Alec Penstone received the Ushakov Medal, russia's highest naval award, for his service in the Arctic convoy on the aircraft carrier H.M.S. Campania. A total of 19 British veterans received these awards - the ceremony took place on May 9, 2014.

"I would have loved to return [the medal], but they prevented me from doing so. An award for courage signed by Putin. I am disgusted and disappointed," Penstone told The Telegraph.

The yellow bloomed this morning. They survived last years deer attack quite well. My red were hit hard. Only about 10% came up this year.

Calling it a night. More violent storms tonight. The clouds are gathering already.

⚡️ The recent downing of two Russian A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft and a Tu-22M3 bomber proved the Ukrainian army’s capability to intercept large targets effectively.

According to statements by Ukrainian officials, an old Soviet S-200 system was used for long-range interception of Russian aircraft. However, it is unlikely that Ukraine had this system in 2024. So what is this system, where did it come from, and what is it capable of?

Putin Jugend 2.0: How Russia Recruits Ukrainian Children and Prepares Them for War

With the beginning of this year, the invaders began to deploy a new form of "military-patriotic" work with children of the southeastern regions of Ukraine, violating the Geneva Convention.

What is this "Warrior" center and what is he doing - the expert of youth policy and retired Major of the Armed Forces Yurii Yuzich figured out.

⚫ Today 1981, Operation Opera. Israel bombed Iraqi nuclear reactor south of Baghdad. Internationally condemned incl by US, UN, media. After Desert Storm US changed its mind, recognising the liberation of Kuwait would have been a different proposition if Iraq had nuclear weapons.

Today Biden administration remains intent on enabling Iran to gain nuclear weapons. Again only Israel stands between us & nuclear bombs in the hands of another totalitarian state.

France begins training Ukrainian pilots and mechanics "literally in the next few days", - Macron

The French president refused to name the number of Mirage 2000-5 aircraft that will be transferred to the Defense Forces, so as not to provide this intel to the enemy.

"I will not give you the details or the exact number. The priority is to start training pilots and mechanics. This is something that will be launched literally in the coming days in France. It will take place on our territory," Macron said.

Z-activists Elena Kolbasnikova and Maxim Schlund fled from Germany to ruZZia due to “German repressions ”

According to Kolbasnikova, in Germany they faced “at least five years” and “were supposed to be detained any day now.”

In June 2023, a Cologne court fined 'Putin's fangirl' 900 euros for publicly endorsing Putin's war. The court explained to the defendant that the trial was not about personal freedom of expression, because this ends where the approval of crimes begins.

Their house was searched on suspicion of violating sanctions and illegal possession of weapons. The new case is related to illegal supplies to Donbas.

The couple waging war against help to Ukraine and trying to scare Germans into submission with "WW3 will be caused by help to Ukraine", at the same time not only donated funds collected from their "peace" supporters in Germany to a ruZZian army division raiding Ukraine, but in fall of 2022 personally handed over military goods to russian invaders.

Good riddance!

In the first photo, National Guard serviceman Roman Horilyk, who spent two years in Russian captivity. He was the senior checkpoint controller guarding the Chernobyl NPP. He was taken hostage by the Russians and transported out of Ukraine through Belarus in March 2022. During his entire time in captivity, Roman was never visited by observers from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The second photo is from an exhibition of archival documents by the Security Service of Ukraine about the 1932-1933 Holodomor, titled ‘Declassified Memory.’ The Holodomor was an artificial famine created by the Soviet authorities, recognized by many countries as an act of genocide against Ukrainians.

⚡️Pro-Russian propaganda is targeting the 2024 Paris Olympics, using AI-generated disinformation to spread fear and misinformation. They’ve even created a fake documentary narrated by an AI-generated Tom Cruise.
