“If the world gets tired, we will simply die”

Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska tells #BBCLauraK that the prospect of Western countries not supplying her country with further aid is a “mortal danger” to her people

My new Safe Skies fundraiser aims to spread the drone-detection system throughout the entire country. Millions of people would be shielded. Thousands of lives can be saved. 10/

Tragic. This was absolutely foreseeable and avoidable.

The cost of hesitation and reluctance, primarily in Berlin and Washington, can be measured in Ukrainian lives - and in the far greater difficulty of winning a war that it is in all democracies interest that it be won.

This. Every day that supporters delay their assistance to Ukraine is another day that Russia has to dig in, fortify its defenses and regroup for more attacks — not to mention another day where lives are lost and homes and families are destroyed.

“In a world where perspectives aren’t crafted in a vacuum but shaped by our experiences […]. Ukrainian anger and our sense of helplessness shouldn’t be dismissed as the irrational emotions of war victims.”

Russian-made explosion of Kakhovka dam caused massive flood zone in south of Ukraine. @U24_gov_ua launches a dedicated fundraising campaign — Lifeboat for Ukraine. Donations will supply rescue teams with boats, diving suits, all kind of equipment needed.

1. Avoid the temptation to bothsides a calamity.  That's not journalism.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This is just one day of Russian aggression. This is just one Russian act of terrorism. This is just one Russian war crime. Now Russia is guilty of brutal ecocide. Any comments are superfluous.

The world must react. Russia is at war against life, against nature, against civilization. Russia must leave the Ukrainian land and must be held fully accountable for its terror.

@United24media

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.

All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only.

WELCOME TO THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

[vanya @eurovanya]

This makes me so emotional, the song ‘Heart of Steel’ is about the siege of 🇺🇦 city of Mariupol, as 🇺🇦 were defended the Azovstal steelworks.

In 2014-15 Defenders of Donetsk airport were nicknamed the ‘cyborgs of Donetsk’🤍 So proud #eurovision

Sometimes the interval acts can get a bit abstract and arty, but man that one really hit hard!
