I want to thank the leaders and the nations that unequivocally supported our state and our people, our independence, and who have come to Ukraine today to mark the 35th anniversary of its independence with us.
I presented our state awards to the Presidents of Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Moldova, and the European Council – @AlarKaris, @GitanasNauseda, @alexstubb, @sandumaiamd, and @eucopresident. To the Prime Ministers of Luxembourg and Latvia – @LucFrieden and @AndrisKulbergs.
Also, for the first time today, I presented a new state distinction – “Gratitude of the Ukrainian People” – which Ukraine will use to honor our friends, our true partners who have helped us from the very beginning. Today, we are awarding this distinction to the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – I presented the award to Prime Minister @andyburnham, who came to our country for his first foreign visit.
Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
Local leadership can reach where traditional systems fall short. At #DevexUNGA81, Sisters Sarah Puls of ACRATH and Gertrude Elelegu of Bakhita share how Catholic sisters are turning community trust into frontline action.

☠️ Зв’язок обірвався: окупант намагався збити дрон рацією, але це не врятувало
Прикордонники підрозділу «СКОПА» уразили ворожі укриття, БпЛА типу «ждун», засоби зв’язку та прапор, який окупанти встановили на одній із будівель.
Також противник зазнав втрат серед особового складу.
In his Independence Day address, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia made one fundamental mistake in its plans for Ukraine: it underestimated the Ukrainian people.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also highlighted the courage of Ukraine’s defenders, the resilience of Ukrainian society, the growing strength of our defence industry, and the need for continued international support.
"Over these 35 years, we have heard many predictions about ourselves. And almost all of them proved wrong. They said the state would not make it, that we would not withstand the upheavals. And on February 24, they said we would hold out for only a matter of days. But we have held out all this time – all this time of the war for independence," he stressed.
"We are all human. We all want to live through times that are not historic, but simply quiet, peaceful, safe times. In a peaceful Ukraine. A Ukraine that made it. That stood its ground. That preserved itself and its independence. That is what we are fighting for."

Voter un budget ne préempte pas le choix futur des Français.
Dès son arrivée, la future majorité pourra le modifier, comme en 2002 et en 2012. Encore faut-il qu’un budget existe : on peut modifier un budget adopté ; on ne peut modifier un budget qui n’existe pas.
Сьогодні 35 років, як Україна відновила Незалежність.
Із них 12 років країна живе у боротьбі, аби Незалежність зберегти.
Для мене День Незалежності це насамперед про людей.
Людей, які її захищають. Людей, які рятують інших.
Про тих, хто робить свою роботу, аби держава жила. Які не мовчать та обстоюють демократію.
Бо саме люди це і є країна.
У ці непевні часи важливо не втратити це розуміння.
Ми і є Україна.
Кожен з нас.
Поки ми є і ми боремося – ми є незалежні.
Зі святом, мій народе!
З Днем Незалежності України!

אחרי שבעה באוקטובר, אסור למדינת ישראל לזלזל בשום סימן ובשום חשש של תושבי העוטף, אבל אסור גם לתת לעפיפון כלשהו להחזיר את העוטף לשישה באוקטובר.
הבוקר, בחנוכת מדרשת ״בינה בלב״ בקיבוץ ניר עוז, חזרתי ואמרתי: הביטחון של תושבי העוטף חייב לעמוד בלב כל הסדר וכל עתיד של עזה.
זו האחריות של המדינה: לראות, לדעת, למנוע ולהגן, ואחריות הקהילה הבינלאומית להבין ולהפנים את העיקרון הזה.
Mexican Federal Police and investigators completed ATF post-blast training at @ATF_NCETR. Twenty-one students practiced investigating vehicle explosions, pipe bombs, grenades, and more through realistic simulations designed to mirror threats they face at home.
This collaboration strengthens international efforts against explosives trafficking and violent crime while building skills that protect communities on both sides of the border. Stronger partnerships equal safer communities.
