I thank Estonia and @KristenMichalPM personally for supporting Ukraine. This truly means a great deal to us. During our meeting, I presented the Prime Minister with the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, II Class.
And today, our countries took a critical step forward—we signed the Joint Declaration on Enhanced Security and Defense Cooperation. This important document formalizes areas such as exchange of experience, defense industrial cooperation, and air defense. We also continue to work on an agreement in the Drone Deal format.
We value all of Estonia’s contributions to the PURL initiative. We count on further support, and I outlined our needs. We also discussed increasing sanctions pressure on Russia and Ukraine’s membership in the European Union.
Why are our energy bills so high when we generate more electricity than we use in Wales? 🤯
Plaid Cymru is fighting for devolution of the Crown Estate, so that our communities can benefit from our own natural wealth. 💪🏴
I thank @Keir_Starmer, @EmmanuelMacron, and @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz for their support. We met in the important E3–Ukraine format. A substantive discussion focused on our defense. I informed them about the situation on the battlefield and Russia’s losses. For five consecutive months now, the aggressor has been losing more than 30,000 troops killed and wounded. It is important that our assessments align with those of our partners: Russia is not winning on the battlefield, and our mid-range strikes and deep strikes are significantly limiting its ability to expand its aggression. But it is also extremely important to have protection against ballistic threats, with which the Russians are terrorizing our cities and communities.
We also discussed possible ways to reinvigorate diplomacy and Europe’s role in this process. For Ukraine, it has always been a priority that Europe’s position and voice in the negotiations be strong. I thank Britain, France, and Germany for their support and readiness to help. We agreed that our teams will work on the next steps.
🇺🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 Ukraine, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have agreed on five conditions for a sustainable peace
Following a meeting in London, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Friedrich Merz endorsed the following principles:
▪️ A complete ceasefire as a prerequisite for launching a peace process;
▪️ The current front line should serve as the starting point for further negotiations;
▪️ Once a ceasefire takes effect, Ukraine must receive reliable and legally binding security guarantees, including the possible deployment of multinational forces;
▪️ Russian assets will remain frozen until Russia ends its war and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused;
▪️ Any decisions involving the EU or NATO must be approved by the member states of those organizations.
The leaders stressed that any future settlement must ensure long-term security for Ukraine and Europe.
The list of Russia’s latest “victories” over the past few days has grown to include the Yagotynske for Children plant, which produced food products for children. In the Kyiv region, rescue efforts are ongoing at the site of this strike – units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine have already extinguished the fire. As of now, seven people have been reported injured. Tragically, four people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Also on this list are food warehouses and a postal facility in the Dnipro region, an ambulance in Kherson, a school building in the Sumy region, port infrastructure in the Odesa region, ordinary residential buildings, and an outpatient clinic building in the Kharkiv region.
Russia continues its war against life, and everyone who helps us is truly standing up to defend it. Every support package with anti-ballistic defense, every joint agreement on weapons production, every step the world takes in sanctions against Russia – all of this helps protect people’s lives. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! It is important for all of us together to force Russia to end their war and move toward diplomacy.
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
Enough of war.
Ukraine proposes to end this war.
This must be done honestly, with dignity, and with guarantees that the war will not be reignited.
We see that the United States is fully focused on the issue of Iran, and it would be wrong to simply wait until the war in Europe returns to the center of its attention.
Ukraine proposes ending this war through direct engagement between us — and you.
⚡️⚡️⚡️ Zelensky wrote an open letter to Putin
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many in Ukraine had a positive attitude toward you. That was true. That is now in the past.
Today, the absolute majority of Ukrainians positively view the fact that our long-range drones “visited” the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you well know, this distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
But now we all see that this is finally becoming unacceptable for Russians — that the war is bringing more and more negative consequences to Russia.
They do not like our drones and missiles.
They do not like fuel shortages and constant price increases.
They do not like ongoing bans.
They do not like your intention to launch a second wave of mobilization to expand the war to another direction in Ukraine or to direct it against other neighboring countries.
They do not like that your war has no end in sight.
Yes, you can still force Russians to live this way. But your resources are significantly shrinking.
You cannot fail to notice this. After 26 years, old age is starting to take its toll. The further it goes, the more fatigue will grow — including from you.
It’s not that we in Ukraine are worried about Russians — after everything your war has brought to Ukraine. But I care about Ukrainians.
We are losing our people, and every loss is painful. And even when Ukrainian losses are one to five or one to six compared to Russian losses, it still matters greatly.
Ukraine preserves its independence. And it will preserve it — despite any predictions.
We have brought the war onto your territory, and you would not have managed it without help from North Korea. You are the first Russian leader who has had to turn to Pyongyang for assistance.
And today you are completely dependent on China — also a first in Russian history.
The choice is yours now. Stop the war. Ukraine offers to end this war. I propose a meeting.
We believe Europe’s participation is necessary — those who are truly capable of influencing the situation. We believe the United States must be involved, and this could determine the configuration of a new security architecture in our part of the world.
The frontline is now the line from which diplomacy should begin.
Ukraine is ready for a “all for all” prisoner exchange, and this could become a good prologue to ending the war.
If you do not personally come to the idea that this war must end, Ukraine will continue to fight for its existence. We will have those who support us.
But you will also have to fight much more for your own existence — not Russia’s, but your personal one. And this is not a threat from me or Ukraine. These are facts of Russian history: when Russia grows tired, changes happen.
We can work toward that fatigue. You can stop your war.
Eternal memory to all whose lives were taken by this war.
Glory to Ukraine.
Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.
Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.
Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.
I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!
I did have a little giggle today watching Andy RT use a laptop, it’s like he’s just discovered how they work.
🤨Mabye it isn’t him who writes the crazy tweets that come out on his account…
@NoContextSenedd
The Russians hack Nigel Farage???
WHY???
As they probably have the traitor on speed dial!
A typo 'hacked' should read 'backed'
The greatest heist in UK history earned Farage more money than you will ever make in 5 or 6 lifetimes! Guess what though... you're paying for it!
A judge found your comments during an active trial were potentially a contempt of court and referred you to the Attorney General. Your response is to threaten the judiciary. You are under a Parliamentary Standards investigation over an undeclared £5m gift. The Met is now investigating your Russian hack claim. And you're running for government.
