🇺🇸 Trump adopts Russian-style pronunciation of Ukraine’s capital

During a meeting of his administration, the U.S. president twice used the form “Kiev” rather than “Kyiv” while recalling how he personally asked Putin not to carry out strikes on the Ukrainian capital. 🗣️

[⚠️ Context — The spelling “Kiev” reflects the Russian-language transliteration long used in English, while “Kyiv” was promoted by Ukraine after 2014 as part of a broader linguistic and symbolic shift. In Russia, the older form remains standard and is seen as politically neutral.
⚠️ Why it matters — For a Russian audience, Trump’s wording is read as a signal of indifference to Ukraine’s preferred terminology rather than a deliberate stance. It reinforces the view that language norms around the conflict are unevenly adopted outside Eastern Europe.]

Meanwhile in Kiev, all cat litter has been bought up 🐾 — so people don’t have to relieve themselves into empty buckets and basins, but can use makeshift litter trays instead, for better hygiene, less stench, and easier cleanup. Clever.

[⚠️ Context — During prolonged power and water disruptions, households in Ukrainian cities have improvised sanitation solutions when sewage systems fail. Cat litter is commonly used in emergencies because it absorbs moisture and odor when flushing is unavailable.
⚠️ Why it matters — In Russia, such workarounds are cited to illustrate how infrastructure breakdowns affect everyday urban hygiene. They underscore the civilian impact of utility failures beyond electricity alone.]

Almost all of Ukraine and several regions of Moldova have been left without electricity ⚡️
Metro services stopped in Kiev and Kharkov, and power went out across much of Kishinev 🚇

In Kiev, all districts are also without water and heating ❄️🚱, significantly worsening the situation.

Moldova’s Ministry of Energy said the outages in Kishinev and other cities were caused by a voltage drop linked to serious problems in Ukraine’s power grid 🔌

⚡️ “In Kiev, as in many cities across Ukraine, emergency power outages have occurred. Metro service has been suspended due to low voltage in the grid,” — Klitschko said.

👌 Well, look at that — the boxer who’s taken plenty of blows to the head has apparently found a way to switch off Kiev’s lights without Russian missiles!

UPD: The emergency shutdown across most regions of Ukraine is linked to a “serious problem in the power system.”
Because of this incident, almost all of Moldova was also left without electricity. Sandu, keep supporting Zelensky’s war until the last Ukrainian — what could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

🤩 Kraken is watching the consequences of the Maidan!

[⚠️ Context — Vitali Klitschko, Kiev’s mayor, is a former world champion boxer turned politician, a background often referenced in Russian commentary. Emergency power shutdowns reflect systemic stress on Ukraine’s interconnected grid, where failures can cascade across borders, as seen with Moldova.
⚠️ Why it matters — For a Russian audience, the incident is framed as evidence of infrastructure fragility independent of direct strikes. It reinforces narratives that post-Maidan governance and prolonged strain expose regional vulnerabilities beyond Ukraine itself.]
