@elle_fury@U24_gov_ua I concur Elle. I was just about to write the same. Great support from all the world a per capita version is just another interesting way of interpreting the figures.
Tragic and inhumane images coming out from Kryvyi Rih.
Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area, reportedly killing at least 14, including 6 children.
Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace.
Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Donald Trump to Ukraine: “You should never have started it.”
This is Russia’s big lie.
The mind of the President of the USA has been captured by an enemy, Vladimir Putin.

Here are some genuine fake news that the Whitehouse now spouts: 1. We have given over double what Europe has to Ukraine. ❌ In fact Europe has given more. 1/3
I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this post, but it has to be said: none of this is actually Trump's fault.
He's been very consistent about Ukraine since his first presidency—nothing is free, and Zelenskyy has to do favors for him to get anything (Javelin sales, dirt on Biden, etc.). He picked some of the most anti-Ukraine figures (RFK Jr., JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard) for high positions, and he's been a Putin fanboy at least since they met in Helsinki in 2018. The writing was on the wall; most of us just didn't want to see it.
The blame should be on weak European politics. Putin warned us as early as 2007, but everyone just wanted cheap energy. We believed in the power of Ostpolitik and completely ignored the invasion of Georgia in 2008. Only when Russia took Crimea in 2014 did Europe respond—with the weakest sanctions possible.
This sent a clear signal to Putin: keep going, because Europe is too weak to stop you. Even our response to the full-scale invasion in February 2022 was too weak and too slow, mostly because we hadn't prepared for war. We were too comfortable with rising wages, cheap energy, and trade with China.
Only after this year's Munich Security Conference did EU leaders finally realize that the US won't be there to save us this time. Russia has a bigger army than the entire EU, spends 100 times more on information warfare, and has fully reshaped its society—including its education system—around fascism.
Meanwhile, most EU countries are still failing to meet NATO's minimum defense spending requirements. Everything we send to Ukraine comes too late and in insufficient quantities. Yet we hypocritically criticize the Biden administration for 'not sending enough aid'—even though Ukraine probably wouldn't even exist without it.
There are plenty of people who know how Ukraine can win against Russia, and now is the time for European leaders to listen to them. Trump and his administration are just noise that should be ignored for now—there’s no help coming from that direction, and we have to do this on our own. My guess is that we're still living too comfortably and will need a 'Pearl Harbor' moment to truly wake up. But by then, it might be too late.
Slava Ukraini.

Today, I address all those who value Ukraine, cherish their state, and lovingly call it “Mine.” Those who cannot imagine themselves without Ukraine, no matter where they are. All those who have been fighting for it – so steadfastly and so bravely – for more than 1,000 days.
This is you – our people. Ukrainians – men and women. To all of whom I am grateful to for this year, 2024. Our people who endure all difficulties with dignity. People for whom being citizens of Ukraine is a source of pride.
For me, it is an honor to be the President of such people – Ukrainians who prove that no cruise missile can defeat a nation that has wings.
