‼️Je ne suis pas ukrainienne 🇺🇦, mais je ne pardonnerai jamais ce que Poutine et les Russes ordinaires infligent à l’Ukraine.
C’est tout simplement inacceptable pour moi… et pour le monde libre tout entier.
💔 I’m not Ukrainian🇺🇦, but I will never forgive what Putin and ordinary Russians are doing to Ukraine.
This is completely unacceptable — to me, and to the entire free world. Slava Ukraini ✊💙💛 #StandWithUkraine
Coming back to Kyiv after a few days away at a conference feels like returning to the only place that makes sense.
Despite the attacks, the uncertainty, and the danger, this is where things are actually happening. The only place I feel exactly where I should be 🇺🇦

Most white people are so desperate to push this reverse racism narrative because they want to be seen as victims. But racism isn't just about hurt feelings…it's about systems, power, and history.
The reality is that white people have never faced centuries of oppression, discrimination, and exclusion in this country because of their race. Being uncomfortable when racism is called out isn’t the same as experiencing racism.
ZELENSKYY: I sent Putin a letter — an open letter — because I don’t know whether he will read it or not. An open letter means he has to answer to us, and — more importantly — to his own society.
Russian society lives in a fantasy world where they believe they didn’t attack anyone, that this is not their aggressive war, and that they are simply defending some Russian-speaking people.
I mean, it’s not serious. For me, it's very important to speak openly and show exactly where we stand. They have closed the internet and blocked many other channels of information.
We have very few ways left to send signals to this country — the aggressor country that brought this large-scale war to our land. They must stop.
ZELENSKYY: Putin has said many times publicly that he's ready to talk and wants to stop the war, but he doesn’t feel Kyiv is ready. He is playing games. I sent him a letter urging him to stop these games and answer publicly. Better to meet and end this war — his war, by the way.
