I’m beginning to suspect that wasting years dragging feet on military aid to Ukraine and playing escalation management games, giving an aggressive militaristic Russia the time and resources to ramp up its war machine to full power against the free world, might not have been the brightest idea.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Why would Canada buy planes from the country that is waging a trade war against us and which is arguably our greatest long-term military threat?

Sweden promises to set up production here and give us 12,000+ jobs if we buy Gripen jets.

Cancel the F-35s. Go with the Gripen.

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal visited Dnipro

“This opened my eyes and filled me with deep admiration — my trip to Dnipro, the first visit by members of Congress allowed since the beginning of the war, showed me the best of humanity, while Ukrainians are facing the worst — Russia’s vile inhumanity.

Everyone I met — soldiers with unspeakable injuries, courageous medical workers, steadfast staff — demonstrates the highest level of professionalism under incredibly difficult conditions, showing dedication and dignity.”

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

A family is saying goodbye to their father, who was killed by russians.

When I watch this video, I feel an overwhelming sense of pain and injustice. And a deep call for justice. Russia must pay.

The pain russians have inflicted on Ukrainians will be felt for generations. The evil they have unleashed will never be forgotten.

The lives they have taken cannot be returned. The families they have destroyed cannot simply be made whole again.

But the crimes they have committed must not go unpunished.

There must be justice.

This is Kherson. A Russian drone operator hunts down a civilian fruit vendor and attacks him.

The Russian with the controller knows and sees what he is doing. A vile sadist, a subhuman, deliberately steers the drone at the poor man.

Reportedly, he survived.

After a visit to Kyiv, @thomasfriedman says "Ukraine is the greatest freedom fight on the planet".

He's right.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Putin didn’t “win certain property in Ukraine”. he’s a thug who broke into our country, murdered civilians, and destroyed our towns and cities to occupy them.

If this is allowed today, tomorrow you’ll wake up in a world where autocracies invade their neighbors left and right.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Alright, I guess it falls to me -- just an ordinary guy from Ukrainian Donbas -- to explain a few obvious things to a New York real-estate developer who seems to care a lot more about the “commercial opportunities” being dangled in front of him by Putin and his mob fixer Kirill Dmitriev than about Ukraine, this region, or the questions of war, life, and death for millions of people whose fate he so casually talks about.

You see, real life is a bit more complicated than a primitive two-color map where Ukrainian regions are divided into “Ukrainian-speaking” and “Russian-speaking.”

Believe it or not, speaking Russian in everyday life does not mean wanting to live under Russian rule and the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin.

It doesn’t mean you’re somehow “by default” obliged to belong to Russia or serve the imperial whims of Vladimir Putin.

Especially not after the 2014 invasion -- and especially not after the slaughter that the business partners in the Kremlin unleashed on what is now an almost completely destroyed Donbas.

That horror opened countless eyes and finally shattered many illusions about what the so-called “Russian world” really is -- a plague, bringing death and cemeteries among the ruins of once-prosperous cities like Mariupol and Bakhmut.

You might be surprised, but back in 2014 the main centers for forming “volunteer battalions” were not Lviv or Ternopil -- they were “Russian-speaking” cities like Dnipro and Kharkiv.

They created and filled numerous famed units made up of local residents who took up arms to repel Russia’s hybrid invasion of Donbas when the regular army and the state were in collapse and paralysis.

That’s because we, the “Russian-speaking” Ukrainians, already understood perfectly well what was happening -- and made our final, irreversible choice in favor of Ukraine.

You might be surprised again, but when business partners in the Kremlin, through collaborators, saboteurs, and unmarked Russian regular forces, occupied Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014–2015, the majority of the region’s educated, entrepreneurial, and democratic-minded population fled those “people’s republics,” which quickly turned into depressed criminal cesspools.

They left their homes and apartments and moved -- believe it or not -- to areas under Ukrainian control: to Kyiv, and to its peaceful suburbs like Irpin and Bucha (where I live), where so many of our fellow Donetsk natives started new lives from scratch.

And here’s a little hint for the self-proclaimed “experts” and “journalists”: even in Donbas, pro-Russian Russian-speaking people never identified themselves as “ethnic Russians” -- only as Ukrainians who just happened to speak Russian.

No matter what years of Russian war propaganda tried to claim about the “Russians in Donbas.”

If you think you know better than me -- someone born in Volnovakha, who grew up and lived there most of his life -- you’re mistaken.

And believe it or not, even now, in the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale slaughter in the so-called “Russian-speaking regions,” masses of Russian-speaking Ukrainians have fled and settled in Kyiv, Lviv, or Chernivtsi -- something you can easily notice just by walking through those cities.

I won’t even start on how many “Russian-speaking” Ukrainians are fighting right now in the Ukrainian army on the front lines against the Russian plague that came to their land.

Why is that?

Because we have long been part of the Ukrainian nation -- part of its political and cultural space.

Our capital is ancient Kyiv, not Moscow.

We argue about and criticize Ukrainian politicians whose decisions shape our lives.

We took part in the revolutions, the elections, the wars for this country.

We cheer for the Ukrainian football team, for Ukrainian singers at Eurovision.

Most of us, one way or another, see Ukraine as our country and our future — and today, more than ever in modern history, we are farther from Russian cultural space and closer to our fellow Ukrainians from Lviv, Lutsk, Ternopil, and Vinnytsia than ever before.

That’s called shared national values.

The democratic, European, and Euro-Atlantic Ukraine that is fighting for its survival and freedom against an imperial invader -- the Ukraine we’ve been trying for a decade to reform and make a better place to live -- that’s us.

That’s who we are. That’s what we believe in, and what matches our values and vision of the future.

And many of us from the “Russian-speaking regions” have already switched to Ukrainian in daily life and in public, returning to the embrace of Ukrainian culture and tradition -- and rejecting “Russian” with disgust and anger, because we don’t want to have anything in common with the fascist Russia of today, which brings only bloodlust, war, hatred, chauvinism, aggression, and the deceitful hypocrisy of its brainwashing television propaganda.

And frankly -- until our last breath -- we will want nothing to do with your Russia.

After all it has done -- killing our friends and relatives, taking our homes, and turning our “Russian-speaking cities” into vast cemeteries amid ruins where life will never return.

[Maksym Borodin @adnashmyash]

I have a simple question for all Americans, Democrats or Republicans alike: do you really like how the Russians openly mock America's weakness under President Trump?

How they lecture Trump on the most-watched TV channel in Russia on how to negotiate from a position of STRENGTH?

And yes, the Russians, whose economy is on the brink of collapse, whose professional army has been virtually destroyed, and who are seizing mere kilometers of Ukrainian territory at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties, are only allowing themselves to do such things because they are CONFIDENT IN AMERICA'S WEAKNESS!

Is this the famous MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN??!

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Trump & the US have no role to play in Russia's war against Ukraine.
Trump & Witkoff don't understand that Putin wants to annihilate the Ukrainian nation.
Trump has done nothing for Ukraine.
Ukraine can defeat Russia, while Putin needs Trump's support.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

You know, history has seen a lot, but forcing “peace” not on the aggressor who failed in its war, but on the victim of that aggression -- the one it never managed to defeat on the battlefield -- and making it surrender for the aggressor’s benefit… that’s really something else.

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

President Zelensky went to Washington to get Tomahawks and instead got a lecture from Trump urging him to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia. Another shameful moment in US foreign policy towards Ukraine.

One day, our children will become journalists and historians, I hope, and they will look back on our era from the distance of time—and they will be shocked at how exceptionally weak, pitiful, and incompetent the leaders of what was still called the free world were in the face of an utterly brazen and unpunished evil that, night after night, was openly bombing Kyiv and killing people on a massive scale.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Mr President, your policy towards Russia is not working. While we negotiate, Putin bombs Ukrainian cities. Here is Kyiv today. It is time to change strategy. We and our allies must arm Ukraine to the teeth & we need the toughest sanctions. Putin is mocking you and America.
