In Kyiv today, great talk with @KubiliusA on the new European security architecture, #SAFE loans, signal jamming, #BigBang, #DroneWall, and much more.

I asked Secretary #Healey today what he thinks of #Putin visiting Beijing for the parade.

He believes:
- Putin is weaker than ever and "begging" for help
- Putin's fleet has been humiliated by a nation practically without its own Navy
- Ukraine remains defiant

#Ukraine reaffirming its independence.
Greetings to yet another Russian oil refinery, this time in Syzran.

Good ol' days just outside Yalta, #Crimea...
Thank God still got some pictures in the archive.
Still remember that ocean breeze...

The difference in the vibe of this Oval Office meeting and the one in Feb is just striking. Both leaders even cracked some jokes. Here Zelensky gets back at suit-loving journo...
In fact, the only unhappy face I saw there was Witkoff's.

Spoke with Nebraska State Senator #TomBrewer:
- Ukraine needs more long-range capabilities
- U.S. must learn from Ukraine's forces, esp. drone warfare
- good news is the extremes on each end of U.S. political spectrum are relatively small

My face when EP President #Metsola told me what she thinks of #Putin's so-called "legitimacy"...

#EU needs plan B for #Ukraine funding if opponents exercise veto right at summit - EPP President @ManfredWeber in a comment to Ukrinform.

Maksym Kryvtsov.
A brilliant poet.
A beautiful soul.
He joined Army ranks to repel Russian aggression.
He was killed in action.
His cute red cat died, too.
He posted this piece just a few days ago.
I thought I should do an Eng version and share it with y'all.

Welcome to the port of #Feodosia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the port of Feodosia
Any time of year
You can die in here

Show me you're in Vilnius without telling me you're in Vilnius.

[Ievgen Matiushenko @IevgenMatiushe1]

Insightful on so many levels... Spoke with Peter Pomerantsev for @UKRINFORM

That's despite "emotional populism" from the MAGA guys...

A powerful documentary once again exposing Russia's barbaric war.
Bullet Holes. A probe into the systemic killings of 🇺🇦 children.
It's a hard watch. But it's a must-see.
Those who sow the wind shall reap the storm. #Russia must be held accountable.

🇳🇱🇩🇰🇳🇴🇺🇦
Smells like F-16 spirit

[Ievgen Matiushenko @IevgenMatiushe1]

The right accents, a bunch of insightful recommendations from @berlin_bridge on 🇺🇦 stratcom to seal more int'l aid. Also, the Africa focus, war fatigue, fears of collapse in 🇺🇸 and 🇩🇪, and much more... Thanks for this convo!

That's not the 1st time I sit down to talk with Dan Rice on behalf of @Ukrinform_News. This occasion is special though as Washington has finally greenlighted #ClusterMunitions for #Ukraine - something this man had been vigorously lobbying for.

@DMokryk HRW were the first to piss me off with their preemptive "how dare you" statement. But oh well, nothing new under the sun.

[Ievgen Matiushenko @IevgenMatiushe1]

Munitions. Weapons. Modalities for security guarantees... Lots of work ahead. Unity is vital.
