Dear policy-makers, experts, media, and academia abroad. I know that some of you struggle to imagine a Ukrainian victory, but we are on the way to it. It is better to prepare for a Russian defeat already now, instead of trying to explain why Ukraine can not or should not win.
Ukrainians – whose average annual income is about $6000 per year – crowd-funded $9.6 million in only a day to buy RAM II kamikaze drones.
Elon Musk – whose net worth is around $215 billion – wants U.S. taxpayers to pick up the tab for Starlink in Ukraine.
So @elonmusk is whining about losing a lot of money on Starlinks for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, may I present to you snippets of my bank statements.
Thousands of Ukrainians, paying his company monthly.
So the question is: did you really lose more money than you earned?
Today we had a meeting with Ambassador @thomasossowski1. We discussed the urgency of supplying Ukraine with offensive weapons, tanks, air defence systems. Also, mentioned the need to name the #Wagner group as a terrorist organization & support #Ukraine's membership in #NATO.
You do not need to be a Ukrainian to support Ukraine. You just need to be a human. SOLIDARITY FLASH MOB
All of us were shocked at the photo of the killed-by-Russians human having a blue and yellow bracelet on the wrist. I am wearing almost the identical one. 1/3
Both mouthwatering and eyewatering. @ZelenskyyUa offers melons and watermelons from recently de-occupied villages in the Kherson region at lunch with @vonderleyen.
Terrorist Russia has hit civilian infrastructure sites leaving thousands of Ukrainians without electricity, water and heat. Putin plans more of such tactics in the winter and tests the waters. He must get a tough response now. Russia must be recognized state sponsor of terrorism.
The world is on a verge of nuclear disaster due to occupation of world's third largest nuclear power plant in Energodar, Zaporizhzhia region. How long will it take the global community to respond to Russia's irresponsible actions and nuclear blackmailing?

Calls by some German politicians to launch NS2 for a little while and close it later are totally irrational. This resembles drug addiction, when a person says “Just one last time!” without realizing the devastating consequences of each “last time”. Addiction to Russian gas kills!
Stop issuing tourist visas to Russians. Visiting #Europe is a privilege, not a human right. Air travel from RU is shut down. It means while Schengen countries issue visas, neighbours to Russia carry the burden (FI, EE, LV – sole access points). Time to end tourism from Russia now
A board member at @amnestyfinland, @SyksyRasanen, shared an anti-Ukrainian article in defence of the organisation.
Now let’s check the views of @eshaLegal who wrote that article…
Apparently @amnesty SG calls me a ‘mob’ and a ‘troll’, but this won’t stop me from saying that its report distorts reality, draws false moral equivalence between the aggressor and the victim, and boosts Russia’s disinformation efforts. This is fake “neutrality”, not truthfulness.
Putin’s gas war against Europe is a direct continuation of his war on Ukraine. Wherever he can bring harm, he will. He will use every dependence Europe has on Russia to ruin the normal life of every European family. The only way is to hit back hard and get rid of any dependence.
Being straightforward – to end the war we need heavy weapons parity:
1000 howitzers caliber 155 mm;
300 MLRS;
500 tanks;
2000 armored vehicles;
1000 drones.
Contact Group of Defense Ministers meeting is held in #Brussels on June 15. We are waiting for a decision.
