Wie können wir schweigen, während die Ukraine und Europa im Stich gelassen werden? Wir dürfen nicht einfach nur zusehen – wir müssen unsere Stimme erheben, protestieren und Unterstützung fordern! Unsere Stimmen zählen. Steht an der Seite der Ukraine!

The World Has Had Enough of Trump. So Has America’s Right-Wing Press. The Wall Street Journal, National Review, Mike Pence and six Republican senators all said it in the same week: Trump has sided with Putin.
You have heard Europe say that for nine years. You have never heard Murdoch's paper say it.
Here is what changed 👇

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.

⚡️BREAKING: Zelensky says vital US arms deliveries to Ukraine are being delayed
The Pentagon is postponing deliveries of weapons Ukraine needs, despite political agreements already reached.
The Ukrainian president also noted that Starlink restrictions remain in place on the front lines.
This is causing problems with military logistics and the use of drones.
In addition, Russian attacks overnight on October 19 damaged 28 substations and other critical Ukrainian energy facilities.
Zelensky said these issues would be discussed again with international partners.
According to The Kyiv Independent, the US is withholding Patriot missiles from Ukraine even though they have already been paid for by Ukraine’s allies.
“Contracts for Patriot missiles are on Hegseth’s desk. He isn’t signing them.” This could be an element of pressure on Kyiv.
Trump suspected of helping Russia
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who previously defended Donald Trump against allegations of ties to the Kremlin, has called on Congress to investigate the president’s actions that may have benefited Moscow.
In an article for National Review, he pointed to the easing of sanctions against Russia, economic concessions and restrictions on the Starshield satellite system used by Ukrainian forces.
In his view, the loss of connectivity could have left Ukrainian troops defenseless against a Russian attack launched at a moment favorable to Moscow.
McCarthy believes the circumstances surrounding the incident raise serious suspicions.
Even if the cause was a technical malfunction, it is necessary to establish exactly what happened, as the outcome has implications for the security of the United States and its allies.
The author also recalled that Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin and blamed Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 33% — the lowest of his presidency, The Washington Post reports.
The results were published ahead of the US congressional midterm elections scheduled for November 3.

I’m horrified and angry. This is thuggish behavior, plain and simple. ICE agents are brutalizing immigrants and US citizens alike. They ran a man down with their car, pinned him to the ground, and broke his arm.
This is not law enforcement. These ICE agents are undertrained and abusive and they must be withdrawn from LA County and every American city.
A U.S. citizen was hospitalized with serious injuries after federal immigration agents reportedly used a Taser on him during a violent detention in Long Beach on Saturday, sparking outrage among neighbors and local elected officials. ktla.com/news/local-news/us-…

Trump says that if Democrats are elected in the midterms “we’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets healthcare”. Sounds like a plan to me because people are dying because they don’t have any especially since Trump ended the ACA subsidies & made Medicaid cuts.

🔥 WHEN THE HEAT IS ON AND THE CHAIR UNDER YOUR ASS STARTS SHAKING...
Now even Marco Rubio is desperately trying to distance himself from everything. “It wasn't me... It wasn't us... It never happened...”
Rubio says he has no idea what happened to Starlink. What's more, he denies that Ukraine ever had access to Starshield. Is he really that stupid, or is he just pretending?
And when it comes to the diesel deal with Putin and the failure to impose sanctions under Lindsey Graham's legislation, Rubio's explanations have descended into complete absurdity.
— What's happening with Starshield? Did Elon Musk refer the matter to the president?
— Starshield or Starlink?
Starshield is a defense product used by the U.S. military. It is currently unavailable to Ukraine. Discussions are underway about how Ukraine would like to use it.
— Zelensky said it was deliberately shut down.
— No. I don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure Zelensky knows what he's talking about, but it wasn't deliberate.
We had nothing to do with it. Nobody ordered Starlink speeds to be reduced.
Something apparently happened, but as I understand it, everything has now been restored to the way it was.
— What about Starshield?
— Starshield is connected to the U.S. military. It has nothing to do with Ukraine. They don't have access to it.
I know Ukraine wants access. They requested it to conduct deep strikes inside Russia. At the moment, they do not have access.
— Do you have any theory about why Ukraine reported disruptions?
— I don't know what their theory is, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the White House.
I've seen those reports, and they are categorically false. Nobody in the White House ordered internet speeds to be reduced to prevent drones from using the service.
As I understand it, everything is now back to normal.
— Why weren't the sanctions against Russia under Lindsey Graham's legislation imposed? Senator Ted Cruz called it a major mistake that would only benefit Putin.
— The problem is that these sanctions aren't just sanctions against Russia. They also include tariffs on several other countries, including India.
I think the president wants to take 60 days to analyze what imposing these sanctions and tariffs would mean for the global and American economies.
Pressure on global fuel supplies isn't coming only from Iran. It's also coming from the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia and from the war between Ukraine and Russia, where energy infrastructure is being targeted.
— Before that, there was the diesel deal with Putin. Critics say you're giving Putin something in exchange for nothing.
— They [Russia] would have sold that diesel anyway. Russia sells diesel on the global market. The only difference is how much of that diesel the United States receives.

Zelensky says that, despite denials from Washington, the throttling of Starlink/Starshield in Ukraine continues. Remarkable how nobody wants to own a clear policy choice, but also doesn’t want to reverse it. American allies are taking note of what may happen to them in case of war.
I held a coordination call on the situation in Ukraine's regions following another wave of Russian attacks. Unfortunately, 28 substations and other critical energy facilities were hit. Restoration work is underway everywhere, and electricity is gradually being restored to people. I am grateful to every repair crew and everyone working for energy companies.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine reported on preparing infrastructure for the heating season. We outlined in detail the key areas requiring attention from government agencies and energy companies, as well as regional and local authorities. Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Presidential Office team have been given urgent tasks regarding contacts with partners who can swiftly strengthen our air defense. There are political agreements that have not been implemented at the working level. There are also delays in certain types of vital supplies at the level of the U.S. Department of War. This evening, we will hold an additional meeting to review the results of all the contacts that must take place throughout the day. I expect concrete results.
Together with the Minister of Defense, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Commander of the Air Force, we set additional production capacity for turrets, which have proven highly effective against “shaheds.” We are increasing orders, and it is important to accelerate every process as much as possible – organizational, financial, and production-related. Instructions have been given to engage with the Baltic states on support for our logistics. I expect a report from Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this.
There was also a separate report from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on information received from units using Starlink/Starshield services. Unfortunately, we have established that the equipment stops functioning at speeds of 130–161 kilometers per hour in various sectors of the front. This is slowing down our frontline logistics and limiting the use of various types of drones, particularly mid-strike drones and interceptors of jet-powered “shaheds.” This must be raised again with our partners at every level today – speed matters when it comes to protecting lives. I thank everyone who is helping! Glory to Ukraine!

RUSSIA WANTS THE WORLD TO STOP CARING ABOUT UKRAINE 🇺🇦🇷🇺
Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska, has warned of another danger beyond the battlefield: the gradual normalization of the suffering caused by Russia’s invasion.
“Russia wants the world to get used to the war. To accept deaths, destroyed cities, deported children as something ordinary…
…We cannot allow that.”
Her words confront a painful reality. The longer a war continues, the easier it becomes for the outside world to scroll past another destroyed home, another grieving family or another Ukrainian child taken from their country.
For those living through it, none of this is ordinary. And the passage of time should never make it acceptable.

⚠️ The President has put the Sanctioning Russia Act on hold. The new sanctions and tariffs Congress passed with support from both parties were paused just before they took effect, with no end date.
This is a serious setback. These sanctions were meant to cut off the money that pays for Russia's war against Ukraine.
📌 Write to the President and ask him to put the law back into effect. It takes less than a minute:

Today, five children killed by a Russian attack - 13-year-old Zakharii, 14-year-old Viorika, 16-year-old Dominika, 9-year-old Federika, and 18-month-old Artem - were laid to rest in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region.
A Russian missile struck the Voronov family's home on the night of July 29-30.
For more than two months, the children had been listed as missing. Their bodies were finally identified after extensive DNA testing.
Ten members of the Voronov family were killed in that Russian attack: 47-year-old Artem, his 41-year-old wife Olena, seven of their children, and their 18-month-old grandson.
A farewell ceremony for the Voronov family in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region.
Dad Artem (47), Mom Olena (41), their sons Mark (17) and Azarii Ilai (11), and their youngest daughter Emiliia (6), were killed by Russia.
A Russian missile strike completely destroyed their home. Five more children, including their 1.5-year-old grandson, Artem, remain missing.
"He called me and said, 'Our son is gone...' Those words hit me like a stone. I'll remember them for the rest of my life," Artem's mom shared.
My heart breaks for this family.
Deepest condolences...

There was no warning from the U.S. about the first Russian ballistic missile strike on Ukraine last night - Yurii Ihnat, head of the Communications Department of the Air Force Command
During the attack at around 11 p.m. on October 18, Ukrainian radar systems detected the missiles independently, Ihnat said.
"Our specialists, working together with our American partners, are investigating why exactly this information was not received," he added.
According to Ihnat, during the next missile threat at around 3 a.m., information from partners did come through, but there was still very little time to react. Therefore, in some parts of Kyiv, air raid alerts may have sounded after residents had already heard explosions.
