The aggressor must always lose. The law must always prevail. The truth must always spread throughout the world. Every state in the world(big or small)should have the right to its independence and to the respect of all others for this independence,- Volodymyr Zelenskyy #Zelenskyy
His helmet bears portraits of our athletes who were killed by Russia. Figure skater Dmytro Sharpar, who was killed in combat near Bakhmut; Yevhen Malyshev, a 19-year-old biathlete killed by the occupiers near Kharkiv; and other Ukrainian athletes whose lives were taken by Russia’s war.
I thank the flag bearer of our national team at the Winter Olympics, Vladyslav Heraskevych, for reminding the world of the price of our struggle.
This truth cannot be inconvenient, inappropriate, or called a “political demonstration at a sporting event.” It is a reminder to the entire world of what modern Russia is.
And this is what reminds everyone of the global role of sport and the historic mission of the Olympic movement itself – it is all about peace and for the sake of life. Ukraine remains faithful to this. Russia proves the opposite.
Today, we are opening exports. Ten export centers across Europe will be operating as early as 2026 – in the Baltic and Nordic states. Ten representative offices will be active in 2026. By mid-February, we will already see the production of our drones in Germany. I will receive the first drone. This is a production line that is operational. Production lines are also operating in the United Kingdom. All of these are Ukrainian technologies.
Fluid movement = better movement. 🌊 Today’s flow builds control and connection so you feel stronger and more capable in every rep, step, and stretch.
What’s one daily movement you’d like to feel smoother and easier?

Unlike the reactions of European countries, the official US response to Russia's latest air raid on the civilians of Ukraine is still absent. Is this an element of the art of making peace deals with international criminals? @TrumpDailyPosts@DonaldTrump@SecRubio@JDVance
Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike. Another massive attack against our cities and communities. Killings again. Tragically, at least 8 people have already been confirmed dead. One of them is a child. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.
People may still be trapped under the rubble. Dozens are wounded. These Russian missiles and attack drones today are a clear response to everyone in the world who, for weeks and months, has been calling for a ceasefire and for real diplomacy. Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin.
We expect a reaction from China to what is going on. China has repeatedly called for not expanding the war and for a ceasefire. Yet this is not happening because of Russia. We expect a reaction from Hungary. The death of children should definitely stir far greater emotions than anything else. We expect a response from everyone in the world who has called for peace but now more often stays silent rather than taking principled positions.
And it is definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing. All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined. Russia must feel accountable for every strike, for every day of this war. Eternal memory to all victims of Russia!
“The Heroes Who Made Us" – the slogan of this year's 75th Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
An incredible performance by the Ukrainian Naval Forces Band, which captured the hearts of the audience. It told a lot about many things. About our history and struggle. About independence, its price and the memory of our defenders.
To be honest, it was powerful and emotional. The Ukrainian team was very deservedly declared the winner and awarded the symbolic sword of the Duke of Edinburgh – an award for the greatest contribution.
🇺🇦Glory to Ukraine!
We are building a Ukraine strong and powerful enough to live in security and peace. So that here, on this square, on our Independence Square, beneath our flags, on our land, our children and grandchildren will celebrate Independence Day. In peace. In calm. With confidence in the future. With respect. And with gratitude to all those who defended Ukraine in this war for Independence. To those who endured, who prevailed, who gained victory.
Such a goal is worth living for. And this is what we stand for.
Happy holiday to you, great people of a great country!
Happy Independence Day!
Glory to Ukraine!
Today is an important day – a day of one of our strongest emotions: the feeling you get when you are at home, or when you recognize your own people and what comes from your homeland. And wherever you are in the world, whichever country you may travel to, when you spot the Ukrainian flag, you realize that the people beside you may be strangers to you personally, but their hearts are unmistakably familiar.
This very flag embodies a feeling of deliverance for those we bring back from Russian captivity. When they see the Ukrainian colors, they understand: the evil is over. This flag is the goal and the dream for many of our people in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. And they safeguard this flag, they keep it safe, because they know: we will not hand our land to the occupier. This flag represents everything dearest to hundreds of thousands of our warriors – men and women from all over Ukraine, who are defending not just one particular direction, not only Vovchansk or Dobropillia, but our entire Ukraine, and who are risking their lives to win the right to life for our entire state.
And may everyone who has contributed to such strength of Ukraine’s colors hear these words today, which are, above all, words of gratitude. They are richly deserved.
Long live Ukraine! May our blue-and-yellow flag always fly proudly! Happy Flag Day, dear Ukrainians! Glory to Ukraine!
Yes, Russia must be punished for all its crimes. It must also pay trillions of Euros for the lives lost and all the damage it has done in Ukraine. And Putin and other criminals must be brought to justice, just like the fascists at Nuremberg.
Ukraine's success undoubtedly depends on strong allies. And the formation of such a circle of allies is impossible without the United States.
Because it is the United States that is capable not only in providing the necessary support to Ukraine and forming a new democratic alliance, but also of maintaining its leading role in the global security system through certain steps.
