“Ambassador Brink is stepping down. She’s been the ambassador there for three years – that’s a long time in a war zone,” a State Department spokesperson said in an e-mailed response.

It is unclear who will take over as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The U.S. official and another person familiar with the matter said Chris Smith, the deputy assistant secretary for Eastern Europe and policy and regional affairs in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, is being considered. Smith previously served as deputy chief of mission in the U.S. embassy in Kyiv from 2022 to 2023.

The First Two Captured Chinese Citizens

Today, investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) spoke with the first two Chinese nationals captured while fighting in Ukraine. We are currently verifying all facts regarding the presence of these and other Chinese citizens within the ranks of the Russian occupying army. Ukrainian intelligence is also actively working on this matter.

As of now, we have confirmed data on over 150 Chinese citizens who have been recruited by Russia to fight in the war against Ukraine. We know the real number is higher. Ukraine views Russia’s open involvement of Chinese citizens in combat on Ukrainian territory as a deliberate step toward expanding the war.

This is yet more proof that Moscow is simply trying to prolong the fighting. Russia doesn’t care who dies in this senseless war—it only cares that the war continues.

What we all need—all partners, all responsible members of the international community—is for Russia to lose the ability to continue this war, especially through the use of foreign nationals like these.

Ukraine spent $62,500 on lobbying efforts in the U.S. in 2024, seven times less than Russia's $461,200, according to data published by the Ukrainian analytics platform Opendatabot on April 9.

After our operation in Kursk Oblast, the Russians "drew conclusions": they reinforced all borders to prevent another breakthrough elsewhere. In Belgorod Oblast, they spent over 10 billion rubles on "modern and reliable fortifications"...

What's with the face, Russians?

"30 Minutes Before" - Mother of Girl Who Survived Attack on Krivoy Rog Shows How Children Played Before the Attack

Maria, the mother of little Afina, posted a video on social media that was filmed half an hour before the tragic attack on Krivoy Rog on April 4. The footage shows children playing peacefully on a playground until a missile landed there. “Afina and I miraculously survived. Out of everyone who was there,” the woman wrote. However, they were both injured.

The video also shows 3-year-old Timofey, footage of whom being resuscitated was widely shared online. He did not survive. At the time of the explosion, the boy and his grandmother were returning home from the playground.

On April 4, Russia launched a missile strike on Krivoy Rog, killing 20 people, including 9 children. The Russian Defense Ministry claims that the strike was aimed at “a meeting of Ukrainian commanders and Western instructors.”

⚡️Уражено!⚡️

7 квітня 2025 року Повітряні сили Збройних Сил України успішно уразили та знищили пункт управління 81-го самохідного артилерійського полку збройних сил противника на тимчасово окупованій території Херсонської області.

Завдяки професійній майстерності українських льотчиків було повністю зруйновано бетонну споруду. Втрати наразі уточнюються, але знищено 20-30 окупантів.

Це ураження суттєво підірвало здатність ворожих підрозділів вести бойові дії в цьому районі.

Льотчики Повітряних Cил Збройних Сил України продовжать завдавати нищівних ударів по противнику доти, доки він не залишить суверенну територію України.

Далі буде...

Слава Україні!

⚡️Successful Hit!⚡️ On April 7, 2025, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully struck and destroyed the command post of the 81st Self-propelled Artillery Regiment of the enemy's armed forces in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region.

Thanks to the professional skills of Ukrainian pilots, the concrete building was completely destroyed. Casualties are currently being clarified, but 20-30 occupiers were eliminated.

This strike has seriously undermined the enemy units’ ability to conduct combat operations in the area.

The pilots of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to deliver devastating strikes to the enemy until the occupier withdraws from the sovereign territory of Ukraine.

To be continued…

Glory to Ukraine!
