🇺🇦🇹🇷 Opinion in The New York Times:
Turkey is increasingly helping Ukraine to strengthen ties in the Middle East, and after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, it is strengthening its own influence in the region.
Ankara is no longer balancing between Moscow and NATO, but is gradually leaning towards Kyiv.

Some facts about Kyrylo Budanov — Ukraine’s unbreakable legend:
• Deeply religious man and former professional swimmer who chose the military path.
• Married to Marianna since 2013. During the hardest months of the war she literally lived with him in his office and helped with work.
• Loves classical music and Jean-Paul Belmondo, especially Le Professionnel.
• Survived nearly 20 assassination attempts — shootings, car bombs, and poisoning. In 2023 his wife Marianna was poisoned with heavy metals and barely survived.
• Wounded three times in combat. Even American doctors couldn’t remove a shrapnel fragment dangerously close to his heart.
• Personally took part in special operations behind enemy lines, including raids in occupied Crimea. Hero of Ukraine (2024).
• Known as “the man without a smile” — but one of the most effective and feared intelligence chiefs in the world.
Real ones recognize real ones. Respect, General.
BREAKING:
Trump praises Zelensky and Ukraine’s Armed Forces:
“I like Zelenskyy. I've always sort of gotten along with him, other than the one moment in the White House, which I thought was a little aggressive on his behalf.
The Ukrainians fight. Because whether the equipment is great or less than great, they are able to fight. They're better than any of our NATO allies. They've held it back for a long time”
