‼️ZELENSKYY: IF UKRAINE BURNS, YOUR MOSCOW WILL BURN TOO.

“First off, about our response, which is totally fair, on Moscow. Well, you all see it, despite the three layers of air defense Moscow has, we said it before, - we would get to them. If Putin doesn't want to end this war and just wants to keep going, we won't just sit around quietly; we'll respond. The response has to be strong and fair. They (Russians) hit the Lavra (Cathedral). And afterwards during our meeting there with journalists, we were at the Lavra, and I said it very openly: we will prepare a response, and you'll see it. I think you can see it now. We don't want this war, and we never did. And everyone knows it, and our partners know it too. And we definitely don't want Ukraine to be burning because of the enemy. But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn too”

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action.

It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale.

The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America.

Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

The utter irony of Putin and Trump meeting soon in Budapest to jointly seal Ukraine’s fate should not be lost on anybody. This is the very same city where the US, the UK, and Russia came together 31 years ago to give Ukraine ironclad assurances that its territorial integrity would be respected and protected within existing borders in exchange for giving up a third of the world’s nuclear weapons (to Russia!). Ukraine trusted the US, trusted the UK, transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia, and joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Within 20 years, Putin effectively ripped up the Budapest Memorandum, ignored Russia’s pledge, and invaded and annexed Crimea. In 2022, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine finally removed all remaining doubts about Putin’s imperial greed.

If treaties and agreements between countries are to be trusted, the US and the UK must stand by the original Budapest Memorandum and give the Ukrainians everything they need to push Russia out of Ukraine, as President Trump said he would do before taking Putin’s latest call. It is the only way for Ukraine to get its territory back and put an end to this brutal invasion.

If the US and Russia continue to ignore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, how on Earth can Ukraine be expected to have any faith in yet another Budapest memorandum signed in the same city between Russia and the United States? They can’t.

@blakandblack It’s not as good and more expensive than Australian beef so I doubt it.

@TimONeill007 My son loved The Road by Cormac McCarthy when he was a teenager. Maybe not 11/12 but certainly 14/15.

@rights_wrong One of the most momentous and meaningful times in my life was sitting with my mother as she died over a couple of weeks. You won’t regret it.

"My name is Eduard Bykov. I'm a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I'm reaching out to @Apple with a request to add the Ukrainian language to Siri.

In April 2024, I was wounded, lost an arm and a leg, and I'm still unable to see. Currently, the only way for me to use my phone is through the virtual assistant Siri. Unfortunately, Siri doesn't support the Ukrainian language. This is a vital need for many Ukrainians.

Please share this video and tag Apple in the comments.

Glory to Ukraine!" 🇺����

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

The abhorrent missile attacks on Ukraine over the weekend demonstrate Russia is not serious about wanting to end its illegal and immoral war.

Ukraine’s citizens continue to bravely resist Russia’s aggression. We grieve the civilian lives lost.

Australia stands with Ukraine.
