🇮🇹🇺🇦 WOW! WHAT A SPEECH! WHAT POWERFUL WORDS FROM ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI!

Here is the full five-minute excerpt of her speech devoted to Ukraine and Donald Trump.

“Russia has launched a new autumn campaign against Ukraine.

Unable to advance on the battlefield, Moscow has increasingly turned its attacks against civilians: power plants, residential buildings, hospitals, and even buses carrying people to work, as in the horrific massacre in Kramatorsk.

This is a strategy through which Russia seeks to subjugate Ukraine with terror, cold, and darkness, simply because it has failed to conquer it on the battlefield.

The facts contradict Kremlin propaganda and those who spread it here.

Since the beginning of the year, Russia has captured very little territory, and in September it lost much of what it had previously seized.

This halt did not happen by chance. It was achieved through Ukraine’s courage and Western support, including that of Italy.

This resistance is the only effective instrument for bringing Russia to the negotiating table.

I respect and understand the passionate debate on this issue, including within this chamber, because nobody here wants war.

We all want peace.

The difference lies in how we intend to achieve it.

As I see it, supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace. It is what makes peace possible.

Because if an aggressor expects its opponent to surrender, why would it negotiate?

Surrender is not peace. It is conquest.

If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, as many suggest, we would not have peace.

We would be discussing the occupation of a European nation and the return of Soviet imperialism.

Personally, I do not miss those times. I do not miss Russian tanks crushing uprisings in Prague and Budapest.

I do not miss the Berlin Wall.

And nobody will ever convince me that the surrender of those defending their freedom can be called ‘peace.’

The peace we want, and the peace we are working toward, even at the cost of concessions, is a just peace, because only a just peace can endure.

Only a just peace can protect Europe and our interests.

That is why our government's position remains unchanged: support for Ukraine, with particular attention to civilians, pressure on Moscow, and Euro-Atlantic unity remain the pillars of our actions.

In this context, we must address Donald Trump's diesel agreement with Russia.

This is a decision I consider extremely risky.

Of course, we all recognize the need to contain fuel prices, which place a heavy burden on families, including Italian families.

But we must understand that rising prices are primarily linked to the war in Iran, not Ukraine.

Legitimizing Moscow, whose bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, providing new revenues to finance the war, and weakening sanctions are all factors we cannot ignore.

And they contradict everything Western nations, including the United States, have done to force Putin to the negotiating table.

An energy ceasefire is a different matter, one that Italy supports, and we are grateful to President Zelenskyy for Ukraine's immediate willingness to agree to it.

Now we expect Russia to stop attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Finally, at such a difficult moment, when so many variables are beyond our control, there is at least one thing that depends on us:

We must ensure that Europe does not simply stand by and watch, because the terms of peace will affect our continent and our security.”

— Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

Looks like elon musk sabotaged a Ukrainian military operation to help vladimir putin.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

The $$$ the Trump administration is sending to Russia for gas will be used by Putin to kill women and children in Ukraine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Already in the UK together with my team. Today, I will have an audience with His Majesty King Charles III. There will also be an important meeting with Prime Minister Andy Burnham. We will discuss a wide range of security issues. We are preparing decisions that will strengthen us. I thank the King, the Prime Minister, and all of Britain for their support!

BREAKING: Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells @piersmorgan he has been betrayed by Trump, that Elon Musk and the US deliberately cut off Starlink and people are being killed as a result

“This is not the right side of history,” he says. “It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner”

On Musk and Starlink he says: “This decision will bring a lot of human losses. Of course, people will die”

“I am sure they knew what they
did, absolutely. Because it was 1am at night, Starlink was blocked by SpaceX and the United States”

“It’s not just about attack. It’s also about defending life. So people were killed because, not enough destroying, not enough
interceptors, including interceptors with Starlink, which didn't work. Of
course.”

Asked if he’s angry with Musk, Zelenskyy says: “Yes, I think he is not right. It's a big mistake.”

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

Russia and the United States carried out a devastating attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv last night.

The American side facilitated the attack by denying interceptor missiles to the defenders, denying early warning, and denying Starlink capabilities.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

I’m leading 12 of my colleagues demanding that Trump rescind the disastrous Russian diesel deal. It betrays American security interests & brave Ukrainians fighting Putin's bloody slaughter.

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

Piers Morgan: “…Russia’s absolute bombardment including your energy infrastructure. Do you feel betrayed?”

President Zelenskyy: “Yes, but it is a little bit more complicated than just my emotions or feelings. It depends (effects) not only on me. My country has to survive.”

@AbubakerAbedW @HerbertParkH So you don't even attempt to hide behind a mask now... you have literally just admitted your prejudice against Jews. Your Visa should be revoked. @OCallaghanJim @JaneMahony

Whoever created this is a genius. Putin's Little Bitch

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Without any exaggeration, these may well be some of the most utterly shameful chapters in modern world history.

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

President Zelenskyy: “It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner. This is my opinion.”

Piers Morgan: “You think you are losing America?”

President Zelenskyy: “Yes, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise we can’t survive. We are not selling our country.”

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

Ukrainians aren't fighting for Zelensky.
Ukrainians are fighting to protect their families. Ukrainians are fighting for the right to self determination. Ukrainians are fighting for the right to vote. Ukrainians are fighting to keep the boot of Vladimir Putin off their necks.

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are helping Vladimir Putin kill Ukrainians. Remember that when you vote in November.

[South East Military Veterans @EastVeterans]

There's a huge reason why...

Keep Islamacists out of Irish Universities.

Qatar helps bankroll Hamas, they should educate the fruits of their endeavours.

Just wondering who wants to take guesses on how long Katie Zacharia will be the Press Secretary because it seems that nobody can find a record of her taking the bar exam in the United States while still practicing as an attorney?
