[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Everything Ukrainian journalists document is our truth about this war and evidence of Russian crimes. And it is important that this work be of high quality and contribute to accountability for all of Russia’s crimes and attacks on life. I thank the journalists and all media employees who work for Ukraine and show the world what our people have to endure and how we fight for our independence.

Today, we also thank all dedicated foreign media professionals who stand on the right side of history and ensure that the world does not forget or remain silent about what is happening in Ukraine. It is precisely this active support that helps us secure assistance at the political level.

And all of us must preserve the memory and honor the contribution to our fight of those journalists who were killed in this war.

Congratulations on Journalist’s Day!

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

Breaking: A meeting will take place at government buildings tomorrow at 2pm between representative bodies and government ministers over fuel protests.

Fuel if you think it’s over

[NewstalkFM @NewstalkFM]

'It's the government that's blocking the place up now, because it's their refusal to treat us with any sort of respect. If we get a call that they're giving us a meeting, this stops immediately'.

🚫Dublin City Centre is at a standstill this morning as motorists continue their fuel protests for a second day.

🚜Delays on the road can be expected across the country, with yesterday's disruptions being dubbed as a "practice round" by one protester.

🗣️Speaking to Newstalk's @JoshCrosbie3, Agricultural Contractor Chris Duffy said "all the government have to do" is give the protesters "a meeting" and the disruption "stops immediately".

Pope Leo's Easter message:

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

Pope Leo urged US President Trump to look for an 'off-ramp' to end the Iran war, in a rare direct appeal from the pontiff as the regional conflict expands https://t.co/Z9dpKp8mhN

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.

International Women’s Day 2026

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The strength and role of Ukrainian women are not about just one day. They are about all 365 days of the year. Ukrainian women defend the country, wait for their loved ones and support them, raise children amid difficult wartime conditions, create, research, rescue, teach, and heal.

Thank you for your determination, leadership, care, and professionalism. Thank you for everything you do every day.
