What happens when you come face-to-face with a wild wolf and everything else falls silent? For Norwegian wildlife photographer Lasse Huldt Pedersen, a fleeting forest encounter became a reminder of our instinctive connection to nature. 🔗 aje.news/e5k9qa

The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years. cnn.it/4k6eD4o

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns Starshield speed restrictions are disrupting early warning air defence systems. Starshield is the Pentagon-controlled military arm of SpaceX's Starlink system. The US government has not explained why.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Russian military blogger says Ukrainian mid-range drone strikes on the main Russian supply route in occupied southern Ukraine have almost ceased because of the throttling of Starlink. No need to elaborate on what this new freedom of logistics for Russia means for the frontline.

Full support to Lithuania, defending principles and values of the UN🇺🇳 Charter and humanity. Russia is an aggressor, it kills babies, women, rescue workers, bombs civilian infrastructure. RU sports have not once protested against this, no place for them on international stage.
Shameful decision by the @WorldPentathlon to strip #Lithuania of its World Cup event for refusing to turn a blind eye to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. This sets a dangerous precedent and sends a fundamentally wrong message. Lithuania’s position has been clear from day one: we will not help normalise the participation of representatives of aggressor states — Russia and Belarus — in international sport. Russia continues its brutal war against #Ukraine, while Belarus remains complicit in enabling that. The EU must tighten restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under national colours, expand visa bans and sanctions, and cut support for those enabling state-sponsored propaganda. Lithuania will never normalise aggression. We will stand with Ukraine not only when it is convenient, but especially when it is not.

Rybar, the Russian blogger with close ties to the Russian intelligence services and the Russian military, has produced a remarkably detailed map. It seems the Russians have a very clear idea of where unrest is likely to break out in Europe! They are watching us. They are analysing us. And they clearly know exactly where they might strike. #russia #EU

And the Trump plan continues to unfold. How long before he orders US Navy escorts for Russian ships and bombs Ukraine?

Enough is enough! 🤬 Hey Americans who support Trump & Putin, Elon Musk, take a good look, take a good damn good look! Blood of innocent children of Ukraine is on your hands now, you won’t be able to talk yourselves out of this! A horrific Russian strike on the Kharkiv region in Ukraine. A Shaheds drone targeted people directly in a park. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed, her name was Angelina.

Anything Putin wants to protect from Ukrainisn drones, he merely gives part ownership to the Trump family, and US policy will be crafted around protecting it.
We now hear that 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺 are also discussing joint data centers. Good luck with that. Europe will certainly not join in. Not difficult to know which interests in 🇷🇺 that will be jubilant over this.

One-year-old Angelina was killed by a Russian drone in her stroller. Yet, @elonmusk sees no problem with restricting Starlink for Ukrainian defenders who shoot down these drones. Everyone who appeases Russia is their accomplice in this war!

Russia’s “fight for Christian values”. Do evangelicals of the world see?
Russia destroyed this Pentecostal church in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, today.
