Today, the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability.

First, the world should not be afraid. We know what protects us. Our unity.

Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any Russian forces, and it doesn't matter who commands them. We will protect. The security of Europe's eastern flank depends only on our defense.

Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian guns, Ukrainian tanks, Ukrainian missiles are all that protect Europe from such marches as we see today on Russian territory. And when we ask to give us the F-16 fighters or the ATACMS, we're enhancing our common defense. Real defense.

Second, everything must be real. It's time for everyone in the world to frankly say that all of Russia's criminal actions against Ukraine were and are unprovoked. And we all have to focus exclusively on our common security priorities. NATO is not just a word or a set of formal promises. These are reliable guarantees for everyone that peace won't be destroyed. Without Ukraine, such guarantees are worthless. Already in July at the summit in Vilnius, it is a historic chance for real decisions without looking back at Russia. Any nation that borders Russia supports this.

What will we, Ukrainians, do?

We will defend our country. We will defend our freedom. We will not be silent and we will not be inactive. We know how to win – and it will happen. Our victory in this war.

And what will you, Russians, do?

The longer your troops stay on Ukrainian land, the more devastation they will bring to Russia. The longer this person is in the Kremlin, the more disasters there will be.

Tatyana Fesenko was killed in battle against the Russian Army on March 5th near Bakhmut.

A shell hit her trench, wounded her severely.

Her husband, also serving in her unit, carried her 2.5 km to the evacuation point, but she later died from her wounds.

She was 30 years old.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

One year later, Kyiv stands. Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.

Рік потому Київ стоїть. Україна стоїть. Демократія стоїть. Америка – і світ – стоїть з Україною.

⚡️Ombudsman: Children's torture chamber found in liberated Kherson.

Ukrainian authorities discovered a room that Russians used to detain and torture children during the occupation of Kherson, Dmytro Lubinets, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada, said on Dec. 14.

BREAKING!!!
Russia leaves Kherson.
Absolute Ukrainian triumph.

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

This horror is happening right now everywhere across the occupied territories. Right now. Everywhere. Nobody can pretend anymore they did not know. After Bucha & Mariupol they could have said - maybe that was an exception? No, this is systemic russian genocide

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

Crowds of Ukrainians who wanted to join Russia are terrified that the people who've been shelling them & committing genocide for 8 years have pushed their glorious Russian liberators out of their territory.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Kremlin bootlickers in the West are spectacularly silent about what’s happening to the Russian military in Ukraine these days.
How are your high-minded Realpolitik theories doing, huh?

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Ukrainian forces on the Russian border - the town of Hoptivka.
The battle of Kharkiv Oblast is an absolute Ukrainian victory.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Remember, folks, we’re meeting at 6 pm in Kyiv on the first post-war Christmas Day.
Goodnight from fighting Ukraine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The world is on a verge of nuclear disaster due to occupation of world's third largest nuclear power plant in Energodar, Zaporizhzhia region. How long will it take the global community to respond to Russia's irresponsible actions and nuclear blackmailing?

My latest:
“On the eve of the third Ramstein summit, Kyiv is crying out for more weapons and munitions — and says the West is failing to send enough assistance on time.”

Ukrainians’ remarkable resistance and resilience have inspired otherwise unaffected people to rise to the occasion and do what’s right. That’s not a small thing. 7/
