Wanted to warn people about @NumberBarn. Do NOT use. Paid good money for a number and they are refusing to port to my carrier. I've reached out to their support team which is doing nothing to help. This seems like a scam.
Violent crime in Washington, D.C. is at a thirty-year low.
Donald Trump has no basis to take over the local police department.
And zero credibility on the issue of law and order.
Get lost.
I had a very good conversation with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte.
In two days, we have over one billion dollars from our European NATO partners for the purchase of American weapons. This is evidence that NSATU is working, and the decisions of the NATO Summit in The Hague are being implemented. I thanked Mark for this.
Mark also shared updates on work with other countries that are ready to join this initiative.
I informed about the situation in Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities that Russia is shelling more intensively, as well as the situation on the frontline and the needs of our defenders.
We also discussed diplomatic efforts with partners to expand cooperation and support for Ukraine. There are good proposals, and we will be implementing them.
We see and support President Trump’s @POTUS efforts to end Russia’s war, to stop the killing, and to achieve a dignified and lasting peace. We are grateful to everyone around the world who supports peace efforts and helps us protect lives.
We have heard the statements coming out of Russia. If these are signals of a genuine willingness to end the war with dignity and establish a truly lasting peace – and not merely an attempt to buy more time for war or delay sanctions – then Ukraine once again reaffirms its readiness to meet at the level of leaders at any time.
We understand who makes the decisions in Russia and who must end this war. The whole world understands this too. Ukraine calls for moving beyond the exchange of statements and technical-level meetings to talks between leaders. The United States has proposed this. Ukraine has supported it. What is needed is Russia’s readiness.

Since the night hours, our rescuers, firefighters, medics, and all the necessary emergency services have been working at the sites of Russian missile and drone strikes. The Dnipro, Poltava, Sumy, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv regions have been affected. The capital was the primary target of the massive attack. There is extensive damage to residential infrastructure. In one of the residential districts, an entire section of an apartment block has been destroyed. As of now, six people are known to have been killed, including a six-year-old boy. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. There are also reports of dozens of injured people, all of whom are receiving the necessary assistance.
The Russians launched more than 300 drones and 8 missiles. We are doing everything possible to fully implement all the agreements for the protection of our people — to ensure that every contract serves the purpose of saving lives.
Today, the world once again saw Russia’s response to our desire for peace, shared with America and Europe. New, showcase killings. That is why peace without strength is impossible. But forcing Moscow to make peace, compelling them to come to a real negotiating table — all the tools needed for this are in the hands of our partners. We are counting on everything now being voiced by America and Europe toward this goal to be fulfilled.
We continue working with our partners on weapons supply. The Defense Minister reported on communication within the Ramstein format, we’ve preserved this format, and I’m grateful to all partners for its effectiveness.
Today, I also approved the main principles of the agreements between Ukraine and the U.S. on weapons. These are large-scale agreements – I’ve discussed them with President Trump, and we are counting on being able to implement them. This will undoubtedly strengthen both of our countries and, therefore, our allies and partners. We highly value America’s principled steps to pressure Russia for the sake of peace.
It is precisely now that action is needed – action to force Russia toward peace. Moscow wants to keep fighting. But the whole issue comes down to potential, to resources for war, to money. That’s exactly why sanctions are useful. That’s exactly why pressure can work.
On land, at sea, and in the sky – our warriors are inflicting significant losses on the enemy everywhere. They protect our people and do everything possible for Ukraine to be strong and independent.
I thank all units of Ukraine’s Security and Defense Forces for their daily results for the sake of Ukraine. I thank every soldier, sergeant, and officer for their resilience and precision. We will definitely secure a dignified and lasting peace for our people.
We are proud of each and every one of you. Glory to Ukraine!
President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. https://t.co/kBJ2ZLVleY
I can unequivocally say that what happened to innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th was horrific.
Just as I can unequivocally say that what has been happening to innocent people and children in Gaza is horrific.
This war and humanitarian crisis must end!
US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks out!
“I can unequivocally say that what has been happening to innocent people and children in Gaza is horrific.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene became the first Republican in Congress to publicly refer to the humanitarian situation in Gaza as a "genocide."
Her comments came in a social media post criticizing fellow Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida. Fine’s staunch support of Israel included a social media post last week that called famine and malnutrition in Gaza “propaganda” and “a lie,” and that until hostages in the conflict are released, “starve away.”
Greene shared her criticism of Fine in a social media post late Monday.
“It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct. 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,” she said. “But a Jewish U.S. representative calling for the continued starvation of innocent people and children is disgraceful. His awful statement will actually cause more antisemitism.”
The UN specifically defines genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Greene’s post came after President Donald Trump said there was “real starvation” in Gaza. “I see it, and you can’t fake that,” Trump said earlier on Monday. “We have to get the kids fed.”
The United Nations’ secretary-general, António Guterres, said Tuesday that Gaza “is on the brink of famine. … Palestinians in Gaza are enduring a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. This is not a warning. It is a reality unfolding before our eyes.”
The UN said Tuesday that hospitals have treated more than 20,000 children in Gaza for acute malnutrition since April.
Russia shows absolutely no regard for anyone in the world who wants to bring this war to an end. Just yesterday, there was a very necessary statement from President Trump. There is a lot of support around the world.
But still, strikes continue, and even demonstrative killing of our people by Russians continues. Every such Russian strike, every act of Russian boorishness in response to the world’s calls to stop the war, only proves one thing: pressure is necessary.
More sanctions against Russia, steady support for Ukraine and our defense of life, coordinated diplomacy for peace. I thank everyone who is working with us in exactly this way.
