Before Russia takes territory, it bombs churches. After Russia takes the territory, it makes Christianity—Evangelical, Catholic, Orthodox, all of it—illegal. Well maybe you'll hear about this after it's too late. But Russia is quietly killing one of Europe's most actively Christian nations. Southern Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia here, is considered Europe's Bible Belt, with an Evangelical revival. Hours after bombing this Baptist church, killing the pastor, Russia also bombed a synagogue in the same city two days after Holocaust Memorial Day.

Turns out they did, in fact, renew the general license on Russian oil. This will likely mean billions in new funding for Russia to fuel its war on Ukraine.

russian barbarism knows no bottom. Beryslav, Kherson region. These sick degenerates are dropping explosives from drones on animals — and proudly posting it. There is nothing human left in this. This is pure sadism.

😡 At night, Russian troops used drones to strike the port infrastructure of the Odesa region: warehouses, transport and buildings burned, buses caught fire.

‼️The U.S. Treasury is extending sanctions relief on Russian oil for another month, until May 16. Just two days ago, @SecScottBessent assured there would be no further exemptions. I wonder how he will explain this sudden reversal.

On this day, last year, the U.S. joined russia, Belarus, and North Korea in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning russian aggression against Ukraine. I never would have imagined that the U.S. would fully align itself with some of the world’s most brutal dictatorships.
