RUTTE: Russia's losses are absolutely staggering. Over 30,000 per month. This means losing more men in one month than Soviet Union did in 10 years in Afghanistan.
My message to young Russians and their families:
"You are being sold a raw deal. Men like you who join the fight won’t be trained. The equipment they’ll provide you is substandard.
There is a very high chance you’ll die or be wounded while you’re out there. And odds are that if you are wounded, you will be left to suffer in the mud and die.
So when we talk about tens of thousands of Russian casualties, that’s not abstract. That will probably be you."
Important visit to Ukraine 🇺🇦 today - the first time a NATO-Ukraine Council meeting takes place in Kyiv – a strong message of the enduring bond between NATO and Ukraine
I also met with my friend @Zelenskyyua#NATO stands with you today and we will stand with you throughout the challenges ahead
President Zelenskyy:
Our priority is to finish the war. There's no alternative.
And I am ready for direct negotiations with Putin to end this war. Unlike waiting in line for everyone to finish all the conflicts in the world, and then it's our turn.
Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep.
Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.
Ballistic missiles are Russia’s last remaining argument in this war, and we must find sufficient countermeasures. I thank our partners and Mark Rutte that the PURL initiative exists and is functioning – contributions were made this May. There will be contributions in June as well. Today, we discussed how we can accelerate and expand deliveries under this key program.
I also thank all our partners who are already working with us on joint production and helping with funding so that weapons production in Ukraine can continue to grow. We discussed with the NATO Secretary General several other things that could provide Ukraine with stronger long-term financial security guarantees. We will keep working on this at both the G7 Summit and the NATO Summit in Ankara.
Sanctions against Russia. Our long-range capabilities. Financing for Ukraine. Our political cooperation. And our partners’ determination to help Ukraine precisely when help is needed – all of this sends signals to Russia that this war will bring it no results. All of this is also an incentive for Russia to turn to diplomacy. And we very much hope that over the summer and autumn we will be able to bring a real peace closer – a fair and dignified peace. I thank everyone who is helping. Thank you, @SecGenNATO!
Devastating footage of rain of burning phosphorus falling over Kostiantynivka.
Russians are scorching the earth, wiping out every living thing in the Donetsk region.
Woman was killed in russian attack on Kharkiv earlier today‼️
She was 52 years old. According to Mayor, she was at home at the moment of the strike and was fatally hit by a drone fragment.
Why? Why kill a 52 year old woman at home? Terrorist bastards!

People are already swimming in temporarily occupied Sevastopol although they say the water is rather cold.
But their goosebumps aren't from the cold...
