🇺🇦 MFA Sybiha: One of the most popular questions asked by Muscovites this morning is “What is going on?”
I can answer. Your country started a war of aggression against ours. For years, it has been killing our people.
Now that you know what’s going on, ask Putin when he is planning to end it.

They were only stopped after a janitor hit them with a MOP!
WHERE ARE THESE KIDS PARENTS?!!!!!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attacks retaliation for a strike that damaged a historic monastery in Kyiv this week, and he said "Moscow will burn" if the Russian attacks continue. https://t.co/qHgqk7wbub
🇺🇦🇷🇺 UKRAINE IS WINNING THE COST-EXCHANGE WAR
Ukrainian interceptor drones such as the Wild Hornets STING and SkyFall P1-SUN typically cost around $1,000–2,500, depending on configuration.
The Russian Shahed-type drones they target can cost roughly $20,000–70,000 each.
That is Ukrainian ingenuity in its purest form: neutralizing a far more expensive threat with a low-cost interceptor and achieving a return of roughly 20 to 1.
Today, the Ukrainian army is effectively the main army in Europe that can deter and resist large-scale aggression over a long period of time. And after this war, this must remain the case.
The existence of such an army should help prevent any future aggressive moves by Putin. That is why we need to start thinking now about how to provide the funding the Ukrainian army will need in the years ahead.
If we want Europe to have the strongest army, one that can truly respond to any threat, this is only possible with long-term cooperation with Ukraine and long-term support for the Ukrainian army. This is a realistic new security architecture for Europe.
From a speech at the 35th UDCG meeting. (3/3)
Russia is not winning this war.
And Ukraine is now stronger on the battlefield.
Today, with EU leaders, we will discuss how to further increase pressure on the Kremlin and push it towards negotiations.
The swift adoption of our 21st package of sanctions will be an important step in that direction.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that approximately 1,000 Ukrainian drones have attacked Moscow.
Let us first note that Ukraine is now capable of launching up to a thousand unmanned aerial systems (UAVs) in a single wave. And it is not merely a matter of possessing such a number of drones—Zelenskyy has already announced that Ukraine will produce 10 million of them this year.
It is a question of command, logistics, and personnel resources. It is about the ability to organize an attack of this magnitude in the first place: setting up launchers, transporting components, conducting reconnaissance, planning, target assignment, launching, tracking, and post-strike assessment. That is a massive undertaking that must be managed.
And Ukraine is capable of doing so.
But what happens when that number rises to two thousand UAVs? Or five thousand?
Just imagine that.
