I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.

We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you for your support.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.

Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.

Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.

Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.

Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.

[Petr Pavel @prezidentpavel]

We stand with Ukraine more than ever. Time for Europe to step up its efforts.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

[Jonas Gahr Støre @jonasgahrstore]

We stand by Ukraine in their fair struggle for a just and lasting peace.

🇺🇦🇳🇴

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

571 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. Afghan women and girls continue to be denied their basic human rights and the world has remained mostly muted #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

❝Donetsk is Ukraine.
Luhansk is Ukraine.
Kherson is Ukraine.
Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine.
Just like Crimea is Ukraine.❞

Je condamne fermement l’annexion illégale par la Russie des régions ukrainiennes de Donetsk, Louhansk, Zaporijjia et Kherson. Il s’agit là d’une grave violation du droit international comme de la souveraineté ukrainienne.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Afghan women refuse to be silenced. They continue to protest, demanding their basic rights, one year after the Taliban swept to power

Extraordinary to see male news presenters at ⁦@TOLOnews⁩ standing with female anchors who have been ordered to cover their faces #journalismisnotacrime

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Why does she have to beg to go to school? Why is she being denied her basic rights? Education is not a privilege. It is a human right. #Taliban #Afghanistan

Brave Afghans - women, girls and young men - took to the streets in Kabul this morning to protest against the continued ban of girls’ education #Afghanistan #LetAfganGirlsLearn

The UN shares growing concerns re. disappearance of two Afghan women activists, Tamana Zaryabi Paryani & Parawana Ibrahimkhel, reportedly abducted from their homes overnight Wednesday. We urge Taliban to provide information on their whereabouts & to protect rights of all Afghans.
