It has been 44 days since Ukraine agreed to a full ceasefire and a halt to strikes. This was a proposal from the United States. And it has been 44 days of Russia continuing to kill our people and evading tough pressure and accountability for its actions.
It is extremely important that everyone around the world sees and understands what is really happening. Nearly 70 missiles, including ballistic ones. And about 150 attack drones.
Unfortunately, there is significant destruction. Rescue operations are ongoing, and the rubble of residential buildings is being cleared. As of this moment, over 80 people have been injured across Ukraine. Everyone is receiving the necessary assistance. Regrettably, 9 people have been killed in Kyiv. My condolences go out to their families and loved ones.
There was a report from the military command. I instructed the Minister of Defense of Ukraine to immediately contact our partners regarding our requests to strengthen air defenses.
Today, I will brief President Ramaphosa of South Africa, who currently holds the G20 Presidency, on the situation and our need to intensify global diplomatic efforts. The strikes must be stopped immediately and unconditionally. We also count on support in humanitarian matters — in the return of our prisoners and Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. I am canceling part of the program for this visit and will return to Ukraine immediately after the meeting with the President of South Africa.
The Foreign Minister of Ukraine will hold all the necessary meetings in South Africa to fully inform the country’s political and civil society leaders about the situation.
I am grateful to everyone around the world who stands with Ukraine and supports our people.
🕯️Sumy. As of 13:00, 24 people are known to have been killed, including 1 child, as a result of a Russian terrorist attack with two ballistic missiles. 84 people were injured, including 7 children.
As of now, 31 people are known to have been killed in Sumy by the Russian ballistic missile strike. Among those killed were two children. My condolences to the families and loved ones… More than 84 people have been wounded, including 10 children. All of them are receiving the necessary assistance.
It is crucial that the world does not stay silent or indifferent. Russian strikes deserve nothing but condemnation. There must be pressure on Russia to end the war and guarantee security for people. Without truly strong pressure, without sufficient support for Ukraine, Russia will continue dragging this war out.
It’s now the second month that Putin has been ignoring the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. Unfortunately, there in Moscow they are convinced they can keep killing with impunity. Action is needed to change this situation.
@Lazio_Land Everything was bad, starting with the dedication. They simply wanted to get off lightly. Stop making excuses like the pitch or the weather. We’re all waiting for the comeback in Rome, but they haven’t lost any away game by more than 1 goal in the EL this season.
Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, Ebba Busch:
"Islam needs to adapt to Swedish values. Muslims who do not integrate should leave this country!
Honor killings, clan structures, beheadings, the stoning of women, and Sharia law do not belong here!"

@lynk0x Dude just pulled liquidity from another wallet, dumped those peanuts to claim a loss and get a tax break — and y’all still out here talking like you know something 😂
