Ukraine's 'Flamingo' Missile Enters Production, Extending Strike Range to 3,000+ km
Ukraine's new "Flamingo" missile, capable of striking targets over 3,000 km away, has entered production, dramatically enhancing its military reach amid rising regional tensions. This development could reshape the balance of power.

These are larger missles than the previous Neptune ones that Ukraine has been working on. This can take out a building without a problem. I'd love to see about 50 launched at the Kremlin very soon.

Big missile, will need to see it in action, hopefully it has good evasion methods.

While official technical specifications have not yet been disclosed, the missile’s design appears similar to the FP-5 system presented earlier this year by the UK-based Milanion Group at the IDEX-2025 defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi.

It does look very similar, Lol. Ukraine's missile for reference.

Observers note that Ukraine’s “Flamingo” may share comparable parameters, though confirmation from official sources is still pending.

Trump is expected to be joined by Vice President JD Vance, Rubio and Witkoff, among other advisers.

What to know as Trump meets with Zelensky, European leaders - The Washington Post

No Keith Kellog, Special Envoy to Ukraine, again. What's the matter, did Master Putin block him from this meeting too? The Special Envoy to Russia is there but not the one to Ukraine? This is going to be another tag-team attempt to bully Zelenskyy isn't submission, they'll probably make some snarky remark about him wearing a suit this time and him prolonging the war then cancel the meeting between Trump/European Leaders because that is only happening after the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting.



"I am totally convinced that if Russia raised their hands and said, "We give up, we concede, we surrender, we will GIVE Ukraine and the great United States of America, the most revered, respected, and powerful of all countries, EVER, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and everything surrounding them for a thousand miles, the Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners would say that this was a bad and humiliating day for Donald J. Trump, one of the worst days in the history of our Country."

But that's why they are the FAKE NEWS, and the badly failing Radical Left Democrats. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!"

Pedo on Truth Social

Dude makes up imaginary scenarios which are the complete opposite of what he is actually doing, and tries to make it seem like people are being unfair to him, Lmao. If you got something like that then that would be incredible, but you don't, the truth is the complete opposite, you're trying to force Ukraine into a total surrender to Russia.



🇺🇦 Yermak, Umerov and Palisa entered the White House.

According to the BBC, Palisa was carrying a rolled-up sheet of paper — presumably a map.

Pavlo Palisa is a Ukrainian soldier, colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and a combatant in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Sent in a military person to tell them how fucking daft their idea is.



Brian Glenn: President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit

Zelenskyy: You are in the same suit. I changed, you did not.

Trump: "Look, the war is going to end. When it ends, I can't tell you. But the war is going to end ... Putin wants it to end."

Doocy asks Zelenskyy an insanely loaded question: "Are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another couple years, or are you going to agree to redraw the maps?"

Doocy is such a stupid cunt.

🇺🇸 Trump jokes about not having elections if the US is in a war.

🇺🇦 The reporter who asked Zelensky about the suit back in February apologizes.

❗️I am open to elections, — Zelensky.

Trump: "I don't think you need a ceasefire" in Ukraine.

Trump is aligning himself with Putin on this point.

Trump: "If you go back long beyond before President Putin, it was always a statement that they would never allow Ukraine into NATO. So that was a statement that was made."

Russian propaganda now, using their excuse for invading.



Zelenskyy was asked what is needed for an agreement — he replied about a strong Ukrainian army, and Trump added that Ukraine would receive protection similar to that of NATO countries.

— WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated.bsky.social) 18 August 2025 at 18:46

So let me get this straight, Ukraine isn't allowed into NATO because Russia doesn't want it and Russia invaded Ukraine because they were about to be allowed into NATO but Ukraine will receive protection similar to NATO's Article 5?

It makes no sense, it's either a massive contradiction or you know that the "similar protection" means jack shit in reality just like the Budapest Memorandum, if you want to give Ukraine Article 5 like protections then there's literally zero reason to not allow Ukraine into NATO, it would the same damn thing, unless you're bullshitting and it's not the same thing.

US and Russian aligned countries do not want Ukraine in Nato. Not for their own sake Article 5 doesn't say commit everything you have to begin with. You could fulfill article 5 by sending some helmets and bullets anyway. They do not want it because they don't want a coalition of the willing to act when Russia takes the rest of Ukraine. NATO is also holding back up France and UK.
