Belgrade, May 23: Btwn 180,000 and 190,000 people gathered at the "You and I, Slavija" protest. The estimate is based on measured area of gathering of 107,000 m² and coefficient of average density of ≈1.7 people per m². The 2nd largest protest in Serbia since fall of Milosevic.
One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
DEAR MR. TRUMP,
THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION TO THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE. WHILE WE REVIEW YOUR "LIVING IN HELL" STATEMENT OF LOVE AND PEACE, WE SUGGEST YOU APPLY TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAGUE. YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
Predsednik 🇫🇮 o razlozima sreće građana te zemlje:
"Pomaže imati društvo koje teži slobodi, jednakosti i pravdi. Оsnova svega je društvo blagostanja, snažan obrazovni sistem, osećaj sigurnosti i bliska veza sa prirodom." Eto...
Ukraine has received the EU accession benchmarks for the final three negotiating clusters – “Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth,” “Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity,” and “Resources, Agriculture and Cohesion Policy” – completing the full set of requirements for membership!
Earlier, in December, Ukraine was provided with benchmarks for three other clusters: “Fundamentals,” “Internal Market,” and “External Relations.”
This marks a major milestone in Ukraine’s European integration. The next steps are the successful closure of all clusters and the signing of the Accession Treaty – the final stage toward full EU membership.
Ukraine will continue implementing reforms, fulfilling its commitments, and reporting progress to the EU 🇺🇦🇪🇺
So, say hello to our new Minister of Defense.
He’s 34, and he’s held top-level positions in our government since he was 28.
When I travel abroad for work, I sometimes joke and shock people by telling them that in Ukraine we have a single smartphone app — where you can keep your official passport, your driver’s license, your vehicle registration, your children’s birth certificates, your diploma (and under other digitalization programs, even things like your military ID) and where you can order many government services and documents online.
Mykhailo Fedorov has done an enormous amount for the country’s unique modernization and for the military during the war.
Now he’ll have to bring his character, his managerial talent, and his IT-startup vibe to the Ministry of Defense.
I think no one will argue anymore that it makes no sense for us to try to compete with fascist Russia in sheer numbers of manpower and tanks. Our path is the continued development of our drone revolution and technology, and, above all, cleaning out the eternal Soviet chaos: bureaucracy, freeloading, and corruption that eats away at our defense from the inside.
Wishing success to the young minister.
Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
Our friends at The Ukrainians suggested naming a word of the year, as leading dictionaries around the world do. Our word for 2025 is “in spite of”. And it's about character. Because we are stubborn.
When I am asked about “negotiations” for the hundredth time, it is only because foreign journalists cannot see what is most important behind all the noise. Our future is not only uncertain, but also not prewritten. This means that we have a chance to fight for the future we want. And I am determined to take advantage of it.
Thank you to everyone who is fighting. Thank you to everyone who supports others. Thank you to everyone who keeps their senses. Thank you to everyone who shares love.
The space for hatred has long been filled to overflowing. The only thing left to do is to love more strongly. This is victory over what they wanted to do to us.
I am letting go of this year without regret and moving on to the next.
In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

💡 On this Energy Workers’ Day in Ukraine, we thank those who fight for light in the darkest times.
As Russia deliberately targets Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, energy workers step in to bring warmth and light to homes across the country. Engineers, electricians, dispatchers, technicians, drivers – we thank them for their courage, skill, and unwavering commitment to Ukraine and its people.
Today, we also remember those who lost their lives in missile attacks while working and at the frontlines.
Light shall prevail. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵
Much has changed. The Trump admin allies the US with dictatorships & attacks traditional allies. Not merely on policies like trade & Ukraine, but on values. Free speech is my speech, media that disagrees is fake news, opposition is enemy of the people, etc. Familiar to Russians.
