Shaped by decades of Moscow’s “divide and conquer” information warfare, Poland believes it gets to decide who Ukrainians choose as their heroes.

Second Republic chauvinism like this has no place in modern Europe.

Продовжуємо застосовувати українські далекобійні санкції проти російських воєнних об’єктів і нафтової галузі. Зокрема, цієї ночі українські FP-5 Flamingo влучили у воєнний завод у Чебоксарах, який забезпечує армію окупанта компонентами для дронів і ракет. Дякую ЗСУ за влучність! Уражено також за минулу ніч нафтопереробний завод «Куйбишевський» у Самарському регіоні. Відстань від лінії фронту – понад 900 кілометрів. Вдячний воїнам ССО, СБС та ГУР. Досягли також цілком справедливі відповіді СБУ і двох об’єктів нафтової інфраструктури у Володимирському регіоні на відстані 700 кілометрів. Дякую всім, хто б’ється та працює заради України!

Speaker Johnson gives a modern political version of the Christian paradox allegedly described by Tertullian 18 centuries ago - Credo quia absurdum, "I believe because it is absurd". Perfect illustration of the transformation of the party that not long ago claimed to be a staunch defender of the "law and order"!

ZELENSKYY: Russia attacks us with more than 650 drones and 35 to 100 missiles per day. We respond with 300 to 350 drones, it’s not a competitive number. But, when we will have 600-plus drones and missiles, Russians will feel this war the way we do, but they will feel it at home.

No, sweetie.

Donetsk was a city of a million roses when its own Ukrainian flag flew above it.

Back then, it was also the fastest-growing and most rapidly prospering city in Ukraine -- home to what was the finest regional airport in Eastern Europe, one of the world's best football stadiums, a state-of-the-art railway terminal, and one of the cleanest, best-maintained cities in the region.

Its elites were running Kyiv, and every time I visited Donetsk as a student, riding the famous trolleybus Route No. 2 through the city, I was amazed by how many new office buildings were appearing, how much money was flowing into the city, and how many international companies were opening their doors there.

Fifteen years ago, to us kids from Donbas, Donetsk felt like the center of the universe because it had everything one could possibly dream of. It was a young city of universities and libraries, where the overwhelming majority of boys and girls from across Donbas went to study, including those from my own small hometown an hour away by bus.

Names like Liverpool or Detroit Rock City may mean nothing to you, but our Ukrainian Donetsk was a city of great rock clubs and unforgettable concerts. We traveled there to see Western bands perform.

We bought rock merchandise at the legendary Right House store near Krytyi Market. Scorpions, Rihanna, and Beyoncé performed at the famous Donbass Arena. Schoolchildren from across Donbas were bused in to watch Shakhtar Donetsk matches. The city even had a famous monument to The Beatles.

It was a city where we sang songs on guitars in its beautifully maintained parks and along the Kalmius embankment before heading out to buy the famous "green Donetsk burgers." Our older friends moved there after graduation, formed rock bands, recorded full albums, and held wedding celebrations in the squares around Donbas Arena. We traveled there to visit the legendary Radio Market in search of films, music, and books.

And then you arrived.

And you turned the wealthiest, most prosperous Ukrainian city into a piece of shit.

You deceived many of its people with sweet promises of Russian oil-fueled prosperity broadcast from television screens, but what you brought instead was war.

You transformed a thriving city into a criminal wasteland ruled by ethnic gangs from Russia, into a kingdom of Stalinist terror straight out of the 1930s, complete with torture chambers in the infamous Izolyatsia prison camp. You turned the magnificent Donetsk Airport into lifeless gray rubble, while the vast stands of Donbas Arena have spent a second decade slowly being reclaimed by weeds instead of hosting Champions League finals and Metallica concerts.

You swept away an entire generation of the city's men through your forced mobilization and threw them against Ukrainian machine guns until there were barely enough people left to keep basic municipal services running. Because of you, prosperous Donetsk became a withered desert without reliable water, because your war destroyed the canal system that carried water from the Siverskyi Donets River into Donbas. For years now, people have lived with chronic water shortages and have been reduced shitting into plastic bags forever.

You dragged Donetsk back like seventy years in time. You turned it into a depressed backwater, devoid of hope and future. Even ten years ago, tens of thousands of people, the most active, the most talented, the most entrepreneurial, fled the city and found refuge in Kyiv and elsewhere in Ukraine. Many of them still remember our Donetsk with tears in their eyes, the Donetsk that existed before the arrival of the "Russian World."

You transformed it into something that even my pro-Russian acquaintances are shocked to see when they return after years of occupation.

It was you who trampled the million roses of our Ukrainian Donetsk into shit beneath the tracks of your tanks and the boots of your death troops, turning them into a foul swamp of death and despair.

And that stain will forever remain on the conscience of fascist Russia, which brings nothing but destruction, decay, and death wherever it goes.

2012 рік. мені 12 років. виховна година:
- подивіться на фото, це наша молодь, знищена радянською владою
- Наталя Владиславівна, але за що їх вбивали?
- бо вони любили Україну.

I met with President of Finland @alexstubb and Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore. I informed them about contacts at the leaders’ level in the E3–Ukraine format as well as our contacts with the American side.

Right now, all our partners note that Ukraine’s positions on the frontline are significantly stronger, and therefore the approaches in diplomacy, which we are now working to reinvigorate, must be based precisely on this. Unfortunately, Russia is trying to compensate for its enormous losses on the battlefield with strikes on our cities and communities, on civilian infrastructure. That is why air defense missiles are our top priority. And we discussed how to secure additional supplies for Ukraine right now, as well as efforts to develop a European anti-ballistic missile system.

I am grateful to Alex and Jonas, and to the people of Finland and Norway, for their steadfast assistance and support. We appreciate that our agreements are being implemented.

[Valerii Zaluzhnyi @ZaluzhnyiUA]

It is an extraordinary pleasure to write the foreword to a wonderful book by a true friend of Ukraine @BorisJohnson. A man who gave our Armed Forces a chance to fight. Because when we remember Boris, we remember 🇬🇧 and its huge support for 🇺🇦 in the darkest times.

The British side's decision to transfer NLAW anti-tank systems allowed us not only to successfully destroy Russian armored formations in 2022, but also to enter parity with them and become more effective due to a higher level of management organization and tactics of application.

His memories in this book are a valuable evidence of the era and a personal look at how Putin prepared and launched a full-scale invasion. It is about true solidarity with Ukraine and about documenting history that inspires the world not to forget the struggle of Ukrainians.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ukraine will continue responding to any strikes by the Russian Federation and applying its fair long-range sanctions.

Russia wants to escalate tensions within the European Union: when we are responding to Russian strikes and a drone appears in the skies over Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia, we understand that the Russians may be altering the course of our drones. These were separate incidents caused by their electronic warfare systems.

We already have the experience of our cooperation with countries in the Middle East. We sent our expert teams, who provided training on how to act in the circumstances of various threats. And these are pretty fast and effective solutions.

We are now ready to do the same with our close partners in Europe. We can act through the Drone Deal format. We are ready to send our expert teams. We are already doing and will continue to do so with our close partners.

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Kiitos tapaamisesta @ZelenskyyUA ja @jonasgahrstore.

Hyvä keskustelu rauhanprosessista ja siitä, miten voimme tukea Ukrainaa niin sotilaallisesti kuin diplomaattisesti.

Tulevien viikkojen aikana on lukuisia kansainvälisiä kokouksia: G7, Eurooppa-neuvosto, Naton huippukokous. On tärkeää, että työskentelemme koordinoidusti.

Ukraina on nyt vahvemmassa asemassa poliittisesti, sotilaallisesti ja taloudellisesti kuin kertaakaan aiemmin tämän hyökkäyssodan aikana.

Jatkamme työtä yhdessä.

[Alar Karis @AlarKaris]

I had the honour of welcoming President @ZelenskyyUa to Estonia. We discussed Ukraine’s path to the European Union and NATO. For the people of Ukraine, membership is not a distant hope but a justified expectation.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We are grateful to all the people of Estonia, President @AlarKaris, and First Lady Sirje Karis for their constant and unwavering support for Ukraine and our people. Today in Tallinn, important meetings are planned with all the Nordic and Baltic countries. The main goal is to secure more strength to protect our people, as well as to prepare for the negotiations and decisions we all expect from the European Union, G7, and NATO summits.

The First Lady’s agenda includes taking part in the expansion of the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies, the opening of a Ukrainian-language audio guide in Estonia, and a meeting with representatives of the Estonian Center for International Development to implement joint projects in support of Ukrainian families.

We appreciate the solidarity of Estonia and all our partners who help Ukraine withstand and bring a just peace closer. We thank everyone who supports us.
