It’s not like this is a one off. Russia has been terrorizing and killing civilians for years.

Close the skies.

Arm Ukraine to win.

Hold the Putin regime and Russia accountable.

Implement the Lindsey Graham Sanctions authority right NOW!

None of this should be normalized. Want to end the war? Stop Putin. Want to continue the killing spree? Keep letting him “tap us along.”

This isn’t a scene from a movie. It’s the reality of war in Ukraine. Security cameras captured the moment a Russian strike hit the grounds of a kindergarten.

A man narrowly escaped, running to safety just in time.

This is exactly the right man to be sitting across the table from the Russians.

Our main goal is to achieve a just and lasting peace as soon as possible, save Ukrainian lives, and ensure the security of our state. This is exactly what Ukrainians expect of us.

Over the past two days in Abu Dhabi, the Ukrainian delegation has been working to find ways to end the war.

The negotiations were not easy. Ukraine’s position remains unchanged: the war must be stopped, and an effective security architecture must be established to ensure the durability of peace and make it impossible for Russia to repeat its aggression.

Another area of the negotiations was bringing our prisoners home. We have made significant progress in this regard. Bringing every Ukrainian home remains our absolute priority.

I am grateful to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff for their professionalism, persistence, and efforts to find solutions.

I thank the United Arab Emirates for facilitating the negotiations and supporting peace efforts.

We keep working.

@BohuslavskaKate Boosting you!

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

Of course the NATO expansion excuse by Russia / pro-Russians is a lie. But if it was true, then invading Ukraine was the greatest strategic blunder of Putin's long dictatorship, doubling his borders with NATO (Finland - not border but Sweden as well, making NATO relevant again, strengthening multiple European countries now powerhouses like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

The fact that the trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi yielded zero results, except perhaps an upcoming pow exchange, and that Medinsky walked away arrogantly declaring, "Every inch of Russian land will be returned to Russia one way or another," yet Kushner and Witkoff are still heading to Moscow instead of reporting back to Washington that Russia's demands are maximalist and must be pressured down, is very telling.

They clearly don't care. They aren't trying to achieve peace, they're trying to spend time with Putin to discuss shady business deals and sweep Ukraine out of their way in the process.

[Michael Eging @MichaelEging]

NATO!! NATO!! Nazis…. Oh… guess not.

Just a reminder, the Russians shoot these arguments down all the time. Leaving their apologists grasping for the next lies.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Russian military propaganda bloggers are all whining about losing either two or three Ka-52 helicopters last night during a Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg 👀🔥

​Hopefully it’s three.

[Michael Eging @MichaelEging]

International treaties, signed by the mad Tsar, V. Putin himself be damned.

[Natalka @NatalkaKyiv]

🇷🇺 Medinsky: “Every inch of our land will be returned to Russia.”

Yeah, good luck with that! It's not your land, buddy!

[Katerina Horbunova @blue_eyedKeti]

On this very day, four years ago, that exact moment of the liberation of Kherson and its people from russian forces.

To hell with those russians!

[Michael Eging @MichaelEging]

Is this a surprise? They’ve been saying this all along. Russia has no interest in peace. They want control. And we’ve seen what Russian occupation brings.

It’s why Ukraine continues to fight the butchers.

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky: “Every inch of Russian land will be returned to Russia, one way or another.”

In the Kremlin’s revisionist worldview, that means all of Ukraine.

Diplomacy is futile. Russia must be defeated, not appeased.

[Dr. Fred Hoffman, Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) @InfoAgeStrategy]

Russia must -- and WILL be -- defeated in its attempts to eradicate Ukraine.

Russia has a long-overdue date with destiny; there was no accountability after 1991 for the excesses of the communist era. There MUST now be accountability for the excesses of Putin's authoritarian kleptocracy era.

The Russian people deserve this -- so do Russia's long-suffering neighbors.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

Exactly. Calls for Ukraine to give up huge areas of its land for peace are just abstract words. Appeasement is not a strategy. Land for security? What security, what guarantees? Putin tried to take Kyiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Kherson and other major cities and failed, then went back to focusing on Donbas. 1994 Budapest agreement/memorandum a historic failure, a clear specific warning about the limits of security assurances without enforcement.

[Andrew Chakhoyan 🇺🇦 @ChakhoyanAndrew]

🇺🇸 persuaded 🇺🇦 to surrender its nuclear deterrent in 1994 with security assurances.
A pawn of no one, 🇺🇦 chose to fight when invaded. Washington fell far short of what Kyiv could expect and its real sin is a failure to honor promises, not some phantom proxy war it never waged.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds

Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed — “one way or another”.

The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

The U.S. should help Ukraine acquire more modern F-16s to help defend its cities from Russia’s daily bombings. The older F-16s can be outmatched by Russia’s fighters… the newer versions will give Ukraine the advantage.

At this point, one can only roughly estimate the extent of the damage the russians have caused to every aspect of Ukrainian life, as well as the massive destruction inflicted on Ukraine's environment.

This morning, in the city of Kropyvnytskyi, russian forces struck a shopping mall housing a grocery store. Two people are in critical condition, and many of those inside the building sustained injuries. I wonder how the negotiations taking place in Abu Dhabi today and tomorrow are going…

[Montrey @Montrey82631182]

03.03.2015: Igor Girkin states that the ‘militia’ will be completely crushed within a week once the Ukrainian army has completed its reorganisation and launched a major offensive – unless Russia intervenes. Without military intervention from Moscow, defeat is inevitable.

[David Ilnitsky @DavidIlnitsky]

Боксер Владимир Кличко, брат мэра Киева Виталия Кличко, обратился к оркам:

"Это не мы пришли на вашу землю! Это вы убиваете наших детей, бомбите и сравниваете с землей наши города и дома! Имперскими амбициями, вторжением в Украину и варварством вашей так называемой армии вы посеяли ненависть на века".

[Dmytro Lubinets @lubinetzs]

Russia’s bombing of an underground shelter in Komyshuvakha was a horrific attack on civilians. At least 55 people were killed and 45 remain missing. They had gathered there to receive humanitarian aid, with the location and timing of the distribution widely publicized.

The Head of the @UNHumanRightsUA said the attack appears to have violated the most fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.

Ukraine’s UN Ambassador said the Komyshuvakha bombing, alongside the Mariupol Drama Theatre strike, will be presented as evidence of Russian war crimes.

Russia must end its attacks on Ukrainian civilians. The international community must step up efforts to protect them and ensure accountability.

[JP Lindsley | Journalist @JPLindsley]

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Europe already has a security architecture in place. She has counted at least 30 international agreements in which Russia committed to respect other countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity, and several of them concern Ukraine.

“Our problem is that Russia is not keeping to those agreements.”

She points to the Budapest Memorandum: in 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances, including from Russia. Twenty years later, Russia occupied Crimea.

Kallas says the focus should be on making Russia keep the obligations it has already taken on, not on writing new ones.
