«Украина выполнила свои обя��ательства [по Будапештскому меморандуму]. Гаранты позорно не смогли защитить территориальную целостность [Украины]», — заявил председатель Хельсинкской комиссии США Джо Уилсон.
Голодомор досі живий.
Голодомор досі зброя росіян.
Голодомор досі вбиває українців.
У російській окупації. У російських катівнях. У російськом�� полоні.
росія = голод | росія = війна

Today is the Day of Dignity and Freedom. We remember the ultimate price paid for Ukraine’s freedom and we do not forget all those throughout different times who fought for Ukraine, becoming a symbol of dignity for the world.
Thanks to our people and our nation’s unwavering desire to secure Ukraine’s freedom and independence, our state will forever remain on the political map of the world—always free, always sovereign.

Today, Putin admitted to taking a second step this year toward escalating and expanding this war. A new ballistic missile was used. Putin struck our city of Dnipro, one of Ukraine’s largest cities. This is a clear and severe escalation in the scale and brutality of this war—a cynical violation of the UN Charter by Russia. Let me emphasize: this is already Russia’s second step toward escalation this year. The first was involving North Korea in the war against Ukraine with a contingent of at least 11,000 soldiers.
Putin has taken both of these steps while ignoring everyone in the world who is calling for no further expansion of the war. He disregards calls from China, Brazil, European countries, the United States, and others. Putin alone started this war—an entirely unprovoked war—and he is doing everything to prolong it, now for over a thousand days.
The use of a ballistic missile against Ukraine today is yet more proof that Russia has no interest in peace. Putin lies when he claims that Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons is somehow a new step for us. This is not the first time we have used such weapons, and we have every right to do so under international law. Our right to self-defense is the same as that of any other nation. And when Russian missiles hit our cities, when Iranian “Shaheds” attack Ukraine every night, when a North Korean contingent is deployed on our borders, Putin is not only prolonging the war—he is spitting in the face of those in the world who genuinely want peace to be restored.
The world must respond. Right now, there is no strong reaction from the world. Putin is very sensitive to this. He is testing you, dear partners. It is clear who the sole culprit of this war is—who started it on February 24th and who continues to pour all resources into its continuation. He must be stopped. A lack of tough reactions to Russia’s actions sends a message that such behavior is acceptable. This is what Putin is doing.
Putin must feel the cost of his deranged ambitions. Response is needed. Pressure is needed. Russia must be forced into real peace, which can only be achieved through strength. Otherwise, there will be endless Russian strikes, threats, and destabilization—not just against Ukraine.
True peace is worth fighting for. Action is required.
Thank you to everyone who is helping.
Glory to Ukraine!
А пам’ятаєте як нам всі розповідали, що якщо буде ядерка: то по-перше вона иоже і не взлетіти, бо стара, а по-друге якщо навіть і взлетить, то всі це побачать і приймуть міри.
Сьогодні ми стали полігоном для випробування ракети, яка може перенести ядерну боєголовку. І шо?)
While Ukraine fights for months to secure new weapons, permissions to deploy them, and investments in its defense industry, Russia obtains what it needs to kill Ukrainians and seize their land.
Closing loopholes in sanctions is challenging, but not impossible. Efforts must be stepped up. Helping Ukraine with one hand while allowing Russia to arm with another is no strategy for success.
I am deeply grateful to all our partners who support us with air defense systems and missiles. This is a truly global effort. Every time Russia carries out such attacks, it underscores how critical it is that partners don’t leave systems like Patriot and others sitting idle in warehouses, but instead provide them to those who know how to protect lives and urgently need them.
We still haven’t received all the necessary systems from our allies—but we continue to work toward that goal. Once these systems are in place, our ability to repel attacks will be much stronger.
One more thing: The plan for strengthening Ukraine is the Victory Plan that I presented to our partners. One of its key elements is providing our army with long-range capabilities. There’s been much said in the media today that we have received approval to take relative actions. But strikes are not carried out with words. These things are not announced. The missiles will speak for themselves.
