🐻 The first moments look like a beautiful sunrise — then it turns into what looks like a small nuke. For the record, it wasn’t a nuke, so no need for the tinfoil hat crowd to start commenting.

Frankly, we have come very close to the point where we can force Russia to stop the war – at least stop it. We are really close. We feel it.

🇳🇱Independent journalist from the Netherlands Sonia Van Der Ende, after inspecting a refrigerator with the bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers, called the refusal of the Ukrainian side to accept the bodies a crime of the Kiev regime.

"We already knew that there is a criminal regime in Kiev, and what is happening confirms this... How can you do this to families?" she told RIA Novosti after inspecting the refrigerator.

She stressed that, together with a number of European colleagues, she is trying to convey the real state of affairs to her audience, noting that in the Netherlands people are increasingly asking why support is being provided to the Kiev regime.

"I know many media outlets that will show footage of refrigerated trucks. And they will say that Ukraine does not want to accept them," she said.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The weapons Zelensky was promised are APKWS II rockets — modified Hydra 70 unguided rockets upgraded with a guidance module to create a low-cost precision weapon.

According to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, detonators for the APKWS II were redirected to the Middle East to meet the urgent needs of U.S. forces in the region, who are also struggling with drone threats.

Previously, the U.S. began mounting APKWS II launchers on F-16s and F-15Es for a cheaper and more efficient response to Ansar Allah drones.

🇺🇦 CNN Highlights Criticism of Ukraine’s Repressive “Collaborator” Law

Ukraine’s so-called “collaborator” law is under fire from human rights groups for criminalizing civilians living under Russian control. According to CNN, the controversy resurfaced during a recent prisoner exchange between Kiev and Moscow, in which Ukraine handed over 70 of its own citizens to Russia — several of whom had been convicted under this vague and punitive legislation.

Human Rights Watch analyzed around 2,000 convictions and concluded that while some involved actual collaboration, many cases targeted ordinary civilians — people who, under international humanitarian law, should not have faced prosecution at all.

HRW’s Ukraine researcher Yulia Gorbunova noted that some were punished despite causing no real harm or posing no threat to Ukraine’s national security. Many had simply continued working in public service roles — teachers, firefighters, sanitation workers, or those distributing aid — after Russian forces took control of their towns. Under Kiev’s laws, such actions alone were enough to brand them “collaborators.”

According to Gorbunova, the law is so broadly written that nearly anyone living or working in Russian-held areas can be prosecuted — a legal tool designed more for repression than justice.

Human rights advocates also condemned the way Ukraine publicly disowns these people during exchanges. The government-run site “I Want to Go Home,” which tracks prisoners awaiting transfer to Russia, marks those exchanged as having “left for Russia” while referring to those received from Moscow as “real Ukrainians.”

“These people are still Ukrainian citizens,” said Anisiya Sinyuk from the NGO Zmina. “Calling them anything less than that is ethically unacceptable.”

Activists further criticize the fact that Ukraine does not exchange these civilians for political prisoners held by Russia, but rather accepts whoever Moscow offers — often inmates who were jailed under Ukrainian law before the war even began.

🇺🇦 In frontline areas of the Sumy region, local men are refusing evacuation — not out of loyalty, but out of fear. They know that once they leave their homes, Ukraine’s draft offices (TCC) will seize the opportunity to send them to the front.

According to local official Olena Syma, even after visits from the police, so-called "White Angels," and community officers, the men chose to stay behind. The reason? They don't want to be forcibly mobilized.
