Marsha H-B - Don’t kill our constitional republic!

Crises require dramatic lifestyle changes. Climate crisis, vaccines, justice here & in Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Opinions are mine. I follow smart & witty people.

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.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.

And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.

I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!

Putin is afraid of Zelenskyy.

Thats why he won’t meet him.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military

Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened.

Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself.

Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

Please ask your hosts exactly how they acquired their ownership of these properties. Then come home and ask the American previous owners the same questions.

Not sure confiscation, nationalization, state ownership, “purchasing” at radically discounted prices, and in some sectors outright theft of private property is something that one should celebrate.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today I am in Britain. We will have our bilateral talks with Keir and a meeting in the E3 plus Ukraine format: President of France Emmanuel Macron, Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer. Our teams have already done substantive work to prepare all the meetings. Now it is important to discuss everything and agree on the key things at the leaders’ level.

The main focus is our defense in the war, greater cooperation for the security of all of Europe in the area of air defense, and our shared view of diplomatic prospects – Europe must be part of the negotiations and must be strong. A meeting with His Majesty King Charles III is also scheduled for tomorrow.

I thank the United Kingdom and all our partners who, through real steps, are helping us strengthen the protection of life and increase pressure on Russia for its aggression. Russia must end its war.

Thinking of my friend Alexei Navalny and his family today. He would have turned 50 today.
Goodbye to my fearless friend, Alexei Navalny https://t.co/HYsacXcJRT

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.

@tedlieu @BarbaraMain07 @WhiteHouse He’s obviously had a stroke. His mouth is drooping, he’s drooling, nonsensical, can’t raise one arm, has bilateral leg braces for foot drop. Obvious edema and probable congestive heart failure. Obvious dementia. Totally unfit.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The President is not well. He can’t stay awake at important White House events and cabinet meetings.

@WhiteHouse needs to come clean about why trump takes so many trips to the hospital and why doctors keep giving trump cognitive tests.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

If you do not personally come to the conclusion that it is time to end this war, Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence. We will have those who support us.
But you, too, will have to fight much harder for your own existence — not Russia’s, but your own. And this is not a threat from me or from Ukraine. It is a fact of Russian history that you know well: when Russia grows tired, change comes.
We can work toward that fatigue.
You can stop your war.
Eternal memory to all those whose lives were taken by this war.

Glory to Ukraine!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ukraine is ready for an all-for-all exchange of prisoners of war, and this could become a good prologue to ending the war.
Serious steps must be taken to return civilians and children who were taken away during the war.
We must determine what kind of future awaits the generations of Ukrainians and Russians who will come after us.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ukraine is ready for a full ceasefire for the duration of the negotiations. This is standard practice, and current developments around Iran only reinforce that point. An attempt to establish real silence is the best way to begin talking to one another. We believe it would not simply be an attempt, but a real ceasefire — if that is what you want.
You know that the United States has the capability to monitor a ceasefire along the line where hostilities stop.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We’ve already experienced many agreements with Russia, including the Minsk agreements, that ultimately failed. That is why we must first find direct answers between us to the questions that remain, and not hide from difficult issues behind formulas, technical working groups, or endless time lost in shuttle diplomacy.
Your war has permanently set Ukraine and Russia apart.
The front line today is the line from which diplomacy must begin.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Since the war is taking place in Europe, and since Ukraine needs security guarantees, while you also seek security guarantees for yourself, it would be logical to involve those who can genuinely serve as guarantors.
We believe Europe should be part of this process — those who truly have the capacity to influence the situation.
We also believe that the United States must be part of the process. This is what could help shape a new security architecture for our part of the world.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

It is leaders who resolve the key issues. That has always been the case, and it always will be.
I propose to set a clear date for such a meeting.
We have heard that you were promised in Alaska the resolution of certain issues concerning Ukraine and Europe. But you can see for yourself that Ukrainian and European issues are not decided in Anchorage.
Other agreed participants could join the bilateral track to be established between us.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am proposing a meeting.
Everyone heard your representatives, smiling, say that I could supposedly come to Moscow. But after these 26 years, there is nothing for a Ukrainian leader to do in your capital — just as there is nothing for a Russian leader to do in Kyiv.
There are countries that have traditionally hosted leaders to resolve issues of war and peace. Switzerland, Türkiye, the countries of the Arab world — many are able and willing to host such a meeting.
