As of now, the number one challenge is Russian strikes. The United States knows exactly what we need and that this is not about something abstract. This is about protecting lives. These are real people, individual lives. Air defense support is needed, and that requires political decisions. In Europe too. In the G7 countries too.
We have a thunderstorm here…
I caught myself flinching at every clap of thunder, and the first thought that crossed my mind was, “Is it really thunder? Or explosions?”
Your brain starts to treat every loud sound as a potential danger.
Unfortunately, supplies of anti-ballistic capabilities from partners have decreased significantly this year. The number of air defense missiles supplied has dropped threefold compared with 2025. And this concerns not only this summer period, but every period of the first half of 2026. Our partners do have the missiles. It is important that the necessary political decisions on supplies and the acceleration of production processes are ultimately made – including decisions on localization in Ukraine.
The world must not forget.
The world is beginning to forget the hоrrific crіmes Russіa has cоmmitted. And it seems we have to keep reminding people of them.
More and more often, we see attempts to justify Russia’s аttacks on Ukraine, make excuses for them, or shift the blаme onto the vіctim.
March 9, 2022. Mariupol.
Russia dropped bоmbs on a maternity hospital and a children’s hоspital.
Pregnant women, newborn babies, and medical staff were trapped under the rubble.
No coincidence that Trump cuts Ukraine's air defenses just as intelligence shows North Korea moving ballistic missile units toward Ukraine, as well as forbidding Musk from allowing Ukrainians to use Starlink on Russian territory for taking out these launchers.
On Ukraine, Trump wants what Putin wants - a weakened and desperate Ukraine, susceptible to whatever deal the Kushner/Witkoff carpetbaggers roll into Kyiv with..
While I was on the road, journalist @darja_stomatova came to meet me and created a lovely report about my walk and, most importantly, my soldiers.
https://t.co/F7WeduUKXx
The story was later broadcast on television.
Several people encouraged me to contact journalists along the way, but I was never particularly interested in marketing myself. I’ve been making these videos for years, and I’ve always believed that if someone was genuinely interested, they would reach out.
Darja did exactly that.
I’m deeply grateful to her for telling this story, for showing up along the route, and for offering to help so many times. Thank you to Darja and her entire team.
And thank you to every one of you who has helped make this walk known to the public by sharing, commenting, donating, and supporting my soldiers.
Because ultimately, that is why I did it.
That is why I am still doing it.
For them.
The West has been the easier part of this journey. As I move into the East, the danger grows with every kilometre.
But every single step is worth it if it gives even one of my soldiers a better chance of surviving.

Everyone can see the ballistic missile threat posed by Russia – and this threat is growing. At the same time, Russian enterprises that manufacture ballistic missiles are still not subject to strict global sanctions.
Some key Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production are not under sanctions imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions. Of the seventeen key Russian enterprises involved in producing ballistic missiles, most, unfortunately, can exploit sanctions loops in the jurisdictions of various partners. We need greater coordination, daily engagement with partners on sanctions, and greater synchronization of sanctions.
Unfortunately, one of the worst consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine – and of Iran’s tactics as well – is that potential aggressors around the world can see how much harm ballistic missiles can inflict on human life. The global ballistic missile threat will therefore continue to grow, and all anti-ballistic defense capabilities must grow as well.
Our FREYJA can become a shared European system providing integrated protection. FREYJA will be quick to produce and battle-tested. Ukraine is capable of manufacturing both the missile itself and the launcher. The decisive factor is cooperation with those European countries and companies that have the radars, sensors, and everything else required for an effective anti-ballistic system. And we already have agreements in place with all of these companies and all the necessary countries.
These are the ten countries participating in the Anti-Ballistic Coalition: Ukraine, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom – as well as twelve manufacturers that have already joined. The Anti-Ballistic Coalition and the FREYJA project are open to other participants capable of making a genuine contribution to security across Europe.
From an address at the meeting of heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions. (4/7)
Just learned that among those killed in Kyiv was a student from my Alma mater . She was helping the wounded, when Russia did what it always does - double tapped, bombed same spot they bombed already, to make sure to get first responders
and they did .
and yes, it’s a war crime
🚨 This is what Ukrainian skies looked like overnight.
Russia launched a massive combined strike targeting peaceful cities from Kyiv and Lviv to Dnipro and Odesa.
A couple lived in that house Russian attack hit tonight, with their 7 kids and a grandson . He didn’t even turn 2 years old yet. The mother just returned from abroad - she was visiting her older children there.
Already 5 people killed , 2 of them kids, reports say.
Greetings from Kyiv.
Ukraine came under a massive attack overnight.
It hurts to read about the children killed in a village near Kryvyi Rih. More than 20 buildings were damaged in Lviv. Search operations are continuing.
I had a warcoffee. I still have my life.
“Why are you posting instead of going to a shelter?”
I read that comment, and I want to answer it.
The air raid siren started shortly after 1 a.m. My two children were already asleep. Unless you’ve had to wake sleeping children in the middle of the night because of incoming missiles, it’s hard to imagine what that feels like.
I live in an apartment building. There is no proper bomb shelter nearby. The only option is the basement of our building. But when missiles are already in the air, running outside can be just as dangerous. Shrapnel can strike at any moment.
And let’s be honest: the basement of a regular apartment building is not guaranteed protection from a missile strike. It may help protect against drone debris or fragments, but not against a direct missile hit.
There is no subway in Vinnytsia where we can take shelter. We use what we have: hallways, basements, and the “two-wall rule.” That’s all many of us have to protect our children.
So yes, I stay behind two walls. At that moment, it’s the best I can do to keep my children safe.
And one more thing.
Why do I post while missiles are flying?
Because silence doesn’t save lives.
I write because I want the world to see and understand what Ukrainian families are living through every single day. These are not just headlines or statistics. This is our reality.
I write with the hope that our stories will reach people who make decisions. That Ukraine will receive more air defense systems. That our skies will become safer. That fewer children will wake up to explosions.
We are not asking for pity.
We are asking to be heard.
Because while you’re reading these words, Ukrainian parents are once again holding their children close as explosions echo outside.
Kherson: Shahid drones destroyed and damaged several private houses, an enterprise and a church today. Here are just a few eyewitness stories and footage.
We had no power most of the day so editing was slow.
Later, guided aerial bombs followed.
60,000 civilians need help.
Another hard night is waiting for us.
I already took my valerian drops.
Now I’m just trying to prepare myself for the possibility that russia will try to kill us again.
Monitoring channels say tonight could bring another massive attack.
If you’re reading this from somewhere safe, please keep Ukraine in your thoughts tonight.
And if you pray…
Please pray for us🙏
Ukraine can't end the war, because Russia is the invader.
If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war, if Ukraine stops defending itself, there will be no Ukraine.
I can't believe we are still discussing this after all these years!🤦♀️
