I didn't finish explaining Sammie's name yesterday. You see, Sammie was so big, I thought there was a good chance she was male. She stands 14 inches at the shoulders.

Ukrainian innovators have developed an advanced prosthesis, the MARS prosthesis, designed to control drones using muscle movements and AI technology. According to Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, the prosthesis “literally understands the user’s intentions.”

Equipped with specialized sensors, the MARS prosthesis interprets muscle signals to control the drone. The prosthetic functions much like a computer mouse—hand movements determine the drone’s direction and angle, while muscle tension activates specific commands, like button presses. This technology allows for precise, intuitive drone operation, providing a new level of accessibility for individuals with limb differences and expanding the capabilities of drone pilots in various fields.

She doesn't understand why her father isn't home, or why a phone call has to replace his hug.

But in reality, he is protecting Ukraine from russian invasion, and the cost is high.

At an event in Brussels focused on the rehabilitation of Ukrainian soldiers, participants were reportedly targeted in a gas poisoning attempt.

After a film screening about the war in Ukraine, attendees noticed a strange smell and signs of poisoning. Event organizers stated that this was yet another provocation by Russia. Several people were hospitalized. An investigation is ongoing.

This cartoon is from 1930s. The West was quietly watching as russia was killing Ukrainian people. "It's about time to stop this."

Back then, fools argued:
"The Soviet Union is not the russian Empire!"
"Tales of millions starving aren't real!"
"We shouldn't anger the bear!"

Now they argue similar nonsense:
"russia is not the Soviet Union!"
"All that footage of murder and genocide isn't real!"
"We shouldn't anger the nuclear country!"

A hundred years has passed and nothing has changed.

History will judge us for making the same mistake again.

An employee of Ukrainian media said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were ordered not to use words like "retreat" and "the enemy has penetrated our defense" in conversations with journalists.

Instead, it is recommended to use "offensive", "victory", "we are moving forward", "we are knocking out the enemy".

🇺🇦🙏🇵🇱The Ukrainian people sincerely sympathise with Poland, which is suffering from the consequences of a large-scale flood. Our meeting in Warsaw with the Marshal of the Senate of Poland, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błonska, began with these words.

On behalf of the Verkhovna Rada, and as a citizen of Ukraine, I expressed my condolences to Ms Marshal and the Polish people over the loss of life and destruction caused by the natural disaster.

Ukraine is close by and is always ready to help. If necessary, one hundred Ukrainian rescuers equipped with all the necessary equipment are ready to go to Poland.

👏 We will never forget and will always be grateful to Poland for its military, financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine totalling €4.3 billion since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion.

We are grateful to Poland for its continued support of Ukraine on its path to EU and NATO membership.

A political invitation to membership is very important for us.

Valerij Zalushnyi wrote today on his Telegram channel these touching words:

It's a shame that I won't be able to hug you tightly today.
Because the trumpet has already played its sad note, and salutes,
abandoning their bayonets for a moment, they gave farewell sounds.
And you left... Our souls sank, hope and spark left our eyes.
And the flame in the loophole went out, and faith also went with it.
Someone picked up the pole of the flag that had already touched the ground,
someone else shouted: let's go together, we can do it, we are not alone...
But the salute has already died down, the tears have dried up, the battle wounds have been forgotten.
Even in those loopholes, there are other flags and scary looks of strangers.
And the spirit, which tore the body to fight, is more and more drawn to grief...
But you were. Your path came to us from God in our souls.
We are all different, because we are burning with your warmth, your soul.
You will continue to live with us, and we are with you in the soul.
May your warmth not die out, in all those who want to fight.

Happy birthday, Dmytro.

It's about Dmytro Kotsiubailo, who would have celebrated his birthday today. May his soul rest in peace! 🫡🕊

Work in the calculation of the artillery is a big responsibility for everyone!

The success of the combat mission and sometimes the life of your comrades depends on your skills, training, speed of movement, responsibility towards others.

It is these qualities that make the calculation of "Runa" one of the best in the brigade.
