@ZelenskyyUa ❤️

It takes considerable class on President Zelenskyy's part after some of what has happened since T came into power again.

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Trump works for Russia.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We are doing everything we can to defend Ukraine, all of Europe, and the European way of life.

Please stay active.

Please help us bring our people home from Russian captivity – our children, prisoners of war, civilian hostages, including three OSCE officials.

Please keep helping us protect our people through your political leadership and practical decisions.

Please also support our efforts for diplomacy – so that this war ends through negotiations, NOT through more destruction, which is exactly what Russia wants.

Help make sure our air defense – our Patriot systems – never run-out of the missiles they need.

That is what saves lives.

From a video address to the 33rd Annual Session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I visited our warriors in Odesa who are undergoing treatment and rehabilitation from injuries. I spoke with defenders who fought in the Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Dnipro regions, and who defended the Kinburn Spit and the Port of Odesa. I presented them with state awards. I thank everyone for their service and for defending Ukraine.

I also met with the medical professionals who are saving the lives of our service members. They performed complex surgeries, provided surgical care under combat conditions, evacuated the wounded, and did everything possible to save our people’s lives. I thanked them for this extraordinarily important work and honored them with state awards.

I thank everyone defending Ukraine, and everyone fighting to save the lives of our warriors.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The annual Superhumans community gathering – Superhumans Reunion 2026. We're grateful for the opportunity to be here, and above all, to say thank you. To thank everyone who truly cares about what is happening to Ukrainians and to Ukraine, everyone who steps forward to help, who supports our people and our veteran communities – their unity and their ability to welcome others – so that no veteran is ever left behind, and so that everyone who has suffered in the war and because of this war knows and feels that they are not alone.

All our service members defending Ukraine. Our doctors in the operating rooms. Our rescue workers at the scene. Our incredible children, who are stronger than this war itself. And everyone advancing this vital field of rehabilitation and prosthetics, everyone who, together with the state, is creating centers and places like Superhumans – places of strength.

All of this together is a great story of the fight for life. A fight in which the refusal to surrender prevails. And in our super country, we have our super humans. Those who refuse to give up. Who overcome. Who reclaim their life – and swim across the Atlantic and the Bosphorus, conquer mountain peaks, build veteran-owned businesses, win Dancing with the Stars, run marathons, start families and become parents – and teach the next generation that Ukrainians are strong. We are proud of every one of you. We thank every one of you – and everyone who stands beside you and helps you.

Glory to Ukraine!

Across ports, cities, and communities around the world, workers, trade unionists, activists and allies are coming together to challenge the maritime supply chains enabling Israel’s genocide, apartheid and wars of aggression.

In the last few months alone, activists and dockworkers across more than 20 countries have helped to disrupt seven major military shipments, launched coordinated port actions across the Mediterranean and beyond, and pushed authorities to investigate shipments connected to Israel’s genocide.

Your contribution helps sustain this growing international movement. Donate to support the #BlockTheBoat campaign.
