⚡️⚡️⚡️ ✈️ Zelensky:
Today we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports: Russian skies are becoming completely dangerous.
Ukraine does not threaten civil aviation as such - not a single civilian aircraft. It is just that drones in Russian skies will be so that we need to pay attention to this. Although the Russian authorities do not report this as they should, the Russian skies will de facto be closed: the war unleashed by Russia is closing its skies.
We in Ukraine do not want the loss of innocent lives. Therefore, we are warning our partners: safe moments in Russian skies are over. It is important that the ambassadors of the states working here in Ukraine and the ambassadors working in Moscow hear this.
Each of them knows exactly what the Russian war means for our country, for our people, and must convey this information to their capitals. It is important that the relevant airlines, which currently fly to airports primarily in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other key Russian destinations, hear this.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and our relevant institutions will provide full information to international structures regarding the dangers in Russian skies. Civil aviation has no place among drones.
We are continuing our meetings in Washington, D.C., with top American investors and venture capital funds.
Among them was Nate Fick @ncfick, Director of Equity Investment Strategy and Senior Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management—a global investment firm specializing in private equity and strategic assets.
Nate brings deep expertise across technology, security, public policy, and investments. He previously served as the inaugural U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy, worked as a tech entrepreneur, and began his career as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.
We also met with Guy Filippelli, Founder and Managing Partner of Squadra Ventures—a U.S. venture firm that invests in early-stage tech companies and helps them scale globally. Our discussions focused on the Ukrainian defense-tech ecosystem, expanding our tech companies into global markets, and attracting international capital.
A core priority of these meetings is establishing a new defense-tech investment fund. We are bringing on global partners to mobilize capital and expertise, launching new ventures around the mission-critical technologies needed on the battlefield today.
The more international investment and expertise we bring into Ukrainian defense tech, the faster we can build and scale the tools that give Ukraine a decisive edge on the front lines.
There is a japanese legend that says:
If you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming.
The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.
Most men aren’t afraid of being alone anymore. They’re starting to realize that being single can be more peaceful, cheaper and less stressful than being in the wrong relationship.
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
Russia has designated me as a “terrorist” for refusing its demands for mass surveillance and censorship on Telegram.
Under Russian law, I’m banned from “publishing information on the Internet” 😌
Russian officials are clearly confused about who can ban whom from the Internet 😉
Speaking in Aspen tonight about my new book, Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America and the New Global Disorder. Looks like it might be sold out, but there is a waiting list.

😁🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky about Tucker Carlson:
"All people are different. But there are smart people. And there are not very smart people. I watch smart people. And I never watch stupid people. Because it doesn't help anything. So I didn't watch Tucker Carlson's interview."
Russians get extremely invested in international law after their warehouses selling dual-use goods for the military gets bombed, after bombing children's hospitals, residential buildings, dams and killing thousands of children.
Get fucked.
The US Ambassador to NATO is here in Ukraine.
Russia is about to get hit with secondary sanctions by the Trump administration and lose 80% of their external market value.
That’s what they get for transporting weapons and explosives to Iran for the sake of killing US soldiers.
At this point in time, I don’t care about what the media says about me or anyone’s opinion about why I came to Ukraine.
I am deeply disturbed as an American citizen about how many Americans minds have been warped to support Russia’s third world slop that pushes communism and a multipolar world where Xi, the Ayatollah and Putin are our masters.
I hope the DOJ in the US starts cracking down on Americans who participate in Russia and Iran’s networks of disinformation and influence peddling.
When I return to the US, I will be happy to assist with investigating Americans who engage in these treasonous activities.
