President Volodymyr Zelenskyy need not, and must not, have any deal forced upon him by any outside nation that does not guarantee the security and the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people, the people who elected him with over 73% of the popular vote, in an election that was recognized as free and fair by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), where I served as a Commissioner and Congressional Appointee. Russia has never held such elections.

President Zelenskyy, and all negotiators, need to know this: There is an outcome-determinative number of Members of the United States Congress, from both parties and in both Chambers, who are ready, willing, and able to do whatever it takes to prevent Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin from being rewarded for his illegal invasion, raping, kidnapping, torturing and murdering of the Ukrainian people, including so many women and children. We will use every lever and every vote at our disposal, regardless of the personal or political consequences. This matter is that time-sensitive and it is that existential. It is legacy-defining.

We all want an immediate end to this brutal Russian invasion and killing. For a peace agreement to be fair and lasting, it must be done in a way that holds the Russian invaders accountable, protects the dignity of the Ukrainian victims, and provides for fair and equitable cost-sharing amongst all European nations. To do otherwise would be to encourage future invasions and to perpetuate future heartache and bloodshed.

This is about Peace Through Strength. This is about Patriotic Common Sense. And Patriotic Common Sense is what America must always stand for.

574 days of pain, losses, and struggle have already passed since the start of the full-scale aggression launched by the state, which, for some reason, is still present here among the permanent UNSC members.

The grain blockade has made it clear that Ukraine's navy is the world's navy, and so the world's navy must become Ukraine's to break the blockade and clear the international waters of the Black Sea for food shipments.

We need F-16s and long-range weapons. We're doing everything to speed up these processes.

Peace in Europe is possible only after Ukraine's victory. And NATO membership has to consolidate it.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Right now, Russia is killing Ukrainian citizen Mykhailo Saakashvili at the hands of the Georgian authorities.

We have repeatedly called on the official Tbilisi to stop this abuse and agree on Saakashvili's return to Ukraine. Our partners, in coordination with Ukraine, have also offered various rescue options.

Today, I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Georgian Ambassador to Ukraine, to express our strong protest and to ask him to leave Ukraine within 48 hours to hold consultations with his capital.

Once again, I call on the Georgian authorities to hand over Ukrainian citizen Mykhailo Saakashvili to Ukraine for the necessary treatment and care. And I urge our partners to address this situation and not ignore it and save this man. No government in Europe has the right to execute people, life is a basic European value.

A microcosm of Ukraine's predicament. Ukrainians are fighting a war for national existence during a manmade ecology catastrophe. They are doing both without complaining. We should help.

0/10 The Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, controlled by Russia, has been destroyed. This brings humanitarian, ecological, and economic disaster to Ukrainians. Here are some guidelines for writing about this catastrophe.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

This is true. On October 20th, 2022, Zelens’kyi predicted the precise scenario and requested an international mission to monitor the dam.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

While the Russian evil is terrorizing and destroying all living things, we are doing and will continue to do everything to save every living creature!

Thousands and thousands of animals are trapped in the flood after the destruction of the dam and other structures of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant by Russia.

We remember that humanity means taking care not just of each other, but of all living beings. We, Ukrainians, save and protect lives. Thank you to everyone who helps!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This is just one day of Russian aggression. This is just one Russian act of terrorism. This is just one Russian war crime. Now Russia is guilty of brutal ecocide. Any comments are superfluous.

The world must react. Russia is at war against life, against nature, against civilization. Russia must leave the Ukrainian land and must be held fully accountable for its terror.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Свідоме знищення терористами дамби ГЕС – з усіх поглядів у світі виглядає однаково. І для Африки, і для Європи, і для Сполучених Штатів, і для Китаю, і для Австралії, і для Індії рукотворні катастрофи – це зло.

Ми повинні зупинити російське зло. Всі інші терористи у світі повинні побачити, що терор карається світом.

——

The premeditated destruction of the HPP dam by Russian terrorists looks the same from all points of view in the world. For Africa, Europe, the United States, China, Australia, India, man-made disasters are evil.

We must stop the Russian evil. All other terrorists in the world must see that terror is punished by the world.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russian terrorists have once again proved that they are a threat to everything living. The destruction of one of the largest water reservoirs in Ukraine is absolutely deliberate. At least 100 thousand people lived in these areas before the Russian invasion. At least tens of thousands are still there. Hundreds of thousands of people have been left without normal access to drinking water. Our services, all those who can help people, are already involved. But we can only help on the territory controlled by Ukraine. On the part occupied by Russia, the occupiers are not even trying to help people.

This once again demonstrates the cynicism with which Russia treats the people whose land it has captured and what Russia really brings to Europe and the world.
