Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
It is essential that the €90 billion European support package for Ukraine be unblocked. There can be no grounds for blocking it anymore. The EU asked Ukraine to repair the Druzhba oil pipeline, which had been destroyed by Russia. We have repaired it. We hope the EU will also deliver on the agreed commitments.
There has also been no progress for a long time on new sanctions against Russia over this war, which is particularly unhelpful when the United States is easing restrictions. Pressure must be maintained so that the Russians do not feel they can wage war with impunity.
Journalists are banned from the White House for asking Trump tough questions.
Meanwhile in Kyiv I interviewed President Zelenskyy with zero restrictions.
Funny how the “dictatorship” still lets reporters ask anything.
Bravo !! President Vladimir Zelenskyy has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel peace price, submitted Professor Dag Oistein Endsjo.
This is really going to piss off a certain someone.
Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych’s memory helmet shows the faces of Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia’s war. The International Olympic Committee has disqualified him for wearing it – undermining its own reputation. This decision is a shameful betrayal of Olympic values.
More than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have lost their lives because of Russia’s war. Remembering them is an act of dignity and courage.
"I almost couldn't get the tweet out fast enough, I was so angry"🗣️
RAF Veteran Liz McConaghy tells BFBS Forces News that Trumps comments were "insulting" to British troops as well as American troops who served in Afghanistan
This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.
I saw this on the news last night….
The day of my breakdown and overdose, my brain was not functioning properly…my fight or flight response had gone into overdrive and was highjacking my ‘reasoned thought’. I spent the afternoon on ‘suicide websites’ planning with meticulous detail what I needed to do in order to end it all..😔
THESE SITES NEED SHUT DOWN 🤬😡
Anything or anyone that actively targets those vulnerable people need dealt with.

Ukrainians were here, Ukrainians are here, Ukrainians will be here. And on this land, life always triumphs, our values prevail, and so does our spirit.
Happy Statehood Day, fellow citizens! Happy Day of the Baptism of Rus–Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
