I escaped prison in #Libya on 8/24/11, having been wounded and captured in the war.
I went right back to the front line to fight until we won.
13 years after my own Independence Day, I'm grateful to be celebrating Ukraine Independence Day and continuing the fight for freedom.
As the people of Ukraine celebrate 33 years of independence, we applaud their determination and sacrifice in defense of their sovereignty and freedom.
Their courage is unwavering in the face of Russia’s aggression.
We and our G7 partners stand with Ukraine, today, and always.
Today, as the people of Ukraine mark their Independence Day, let it be clear:
When Russia’s senseless war began, Ukraine was a free country.
Today, it is still a free country.
And the war will end with Ukraine remaining a free, sovereign, and independent country.
At the heart of independence lies freedom.
Values that brave Ukrainians are fighting for, every day.
The liberty to live in peace, in democracy.
As we strengthen our path to a common European future, today I wish all the very best to the people of Ukraine on Independence Day.
On Ukraine’s Independence Day, we celebrate the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Your fight for freedom is a beacon of hope for all who cherish democracy. Moldova stands with you, today and always.
З Днем Незалежності, Україно!
Britain will always stand with Ukraine.
On your day of independence, we share a clear message:
We will continue to stand with you – because that is what the people of Ukraine deserve.
Slava Ukraini.
Ukraine. Our land. Given by God. Kissed by the sun. Rocked by the winds. Tempered by fire. Defended by its sons and daughters.
It cannot be mistaken for anything else.
It can never be given away to anyone.
Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
Europe will always be at Ukraine’s side, because Ukraine is Europe.
Your freedom is our freedom.
Your security is our security.
We've been standing with you since day one. And we'll continue to do so, for as long as it takes.
I'm wishing our friends a proud Independence Day.
Ukrainians declared their future as a free nation 33 years ago today. But that independence — and the democracy and the freedom it brought — was never accepted by some.
When Putin invaded Ukraine — when he unleashed bombs, tanks, and troops on a sovereign nation — every nation had a choice: to stand for freedom, or to watch it fall.
Canada never saw it as a choice. It’s who we are. We’ve stood with a free, independent Ukraine always — first to recognize their nation, and then to defend it.
So, we trained Ukrainian fighter pilots. We brought together allies and froze $50B in Russian assets — and put that money to work for Ukraine. We sent Canadian-made light armoured vehicles to the front lines.
Because this is our fight. Ukraine isn’t just fighting for their independence. They’re fighting for everything Putin wants to destroy: freedom, democracy, prosperity.
The proud Ukrainians who’ve settled in Canada — the largest diaspora outside Europe — remind us that Ukraine is not a ‘far away, foreign land’. It’s our ally, our friend, and for many Canadians, it is home.
Today, Ukrainians in Canada and across the world celebrate their independence — even as some defend it with their lives.
And we’ll celebrate that independence next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Because this is a war that Ukraine will win. Slava Ukraini! #UkrainianIndependenceDay
Mornings in Ukraine often look like this, and this morning the center of Kherson fell under the Russian hand.
Green becomes black and the living becomes dead when your neighbor is Russian.
The roughly $140 billion the United States is spending on Ukraine through the war’s first three years is actually funding a major modernization drive for the US military - @Telegraph.
This is happening because the United States typically supports Ukraine by donating older weapons from existing US stocks, and then using the authorized “Ukraine aid” funds to re-equip US troops with newer weapons to replace those older weapons they just gave away.
Security forces and police personnel in Tbilisi’s Freedom Square reportedly confronted, assaulted, and apprehended a man involved in protests few hours ago. The promised democracy and human rights protection by Georgian Dream.
Dear Ukrainians, amid the renewed Kharkiv offensive, Georgians are with you. You inspire us every day, and I'll be researching the impact of Ukraine on our resistance someday. Stay strong and amazing as you've always been! ✊🏻🇺🇦

People came to bless their Easter baskets at the church in Lukashivka, Chernihiv region. In 2022, in this very church, 🇷🇺 troops set up a torture chamber.
Russia has shown that there is nothing sacred for it.
#Ukraine will prevail, just as light prevails over darkness.
All you need to know about the russian Christianity and how they celebrate Easter. Traditional russian Easter cakes showing a russian soldier decapitating a Ukrainian civilian. The text says: “kill Ukrainian Nazis” and “Christ is risen.”
These brainwashed kids will be merciless genocidal soldiers in just 10 years. They will burn your house, rape your kids, and cut off your ears for fun. And note, that this genocidal educational program is 100% females-run, hallo #FeministischeAußenpolitik.
