🇺🇸🇺🇦 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.

🇺🇦 In his evening address, Zelensky urged Ukrainians to pay close attention to air raid sirens over the coming days.

This comes after Reuters reported that Russia is preparing a second large-scale strike in response to recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian airbases carried out by the SBU.

Ukrainian social media channels are also warning of a possible overnight wave of cruise missile strikes and over 500 Shahed drones, though no official confirmation has been issued.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Ukrainian Channels Warn of Possible Massive Russian Strike Tonight

Ukrainian monitoring groups are warning that Russia may launch a major overnight missile and airstrike campaign using strategic bombers.

These alerts are reportedly based on recent Russian reconnaissance activity, which reportedly focused on energy infrastructure in Kiev and its surrounding region. Other areas believed to be under threat include Rovno, Khmelnitsky, Poltava, Cherkassy, Chernigov, Vinnitsa, Nikolayev, and Kirovograd regions.

Ukrainian channels are urging civilians to charge power banks and prepare for possible outages.

In his evening address, Zelesnky also urged citizens not to ignore air raid warnings.

Currently there are "only" around 80 Russian "Geran" drones in Ukrainian airspace.

They’re freaking out more than usual. It’s possible they’re overreacting or exaggerating the scale of a potential Russian strike—but we’ll know in a few hours if the strategic bombers take off.

🇺🇸From the hearings of one of the USAID leaders, Greg Roman

- In 2014, USAID spent billions of dollars criticizing the Yanukovych government, funding NGOs and media outlets in Ukraine to persuade the population to think about rapprochement with the West. We also know that USAID controlled 9 out of 10 media outlets in Ukraine. Mr. Roman, should American taxpayers fund propaganda?- asked Marjorie Taylor Greene.

- If this is pro-American propaganda - yes, if this is an anti-American regime that is harmful to us, we should not do this.
