Today, Ukraine’s new Government, headed by Sergii Koretskyi, began its work. His strength lies specifically in his work at state-owned energy companies. He came to Ukrnafta and changed the company’s processes after oligarchic control. Thanks to Sergii, Ukrnafta began truly working for our state. Naftogaz made it through a difficult winter, and despite all the Russian strikes, Ukraine remained supplied with gas.
It is essential to be fully prepared for the next winter. Of course, we are investing as much as possible in Ukraine’s long-range capabilities and in our mid-range strikes to make it as difficult as possible for Russia to expand its offensive against Ukraine and drag out this war.
But whatever the scenario, Ukraine must be fully prepared to protect lives and its people and ensure that we make it through the winter. This is the main shared Ukrainian task for the new Government. There will also be changes in our work with partners – agreements should be implemented faster.
Today, we express our special gratitude to Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with whom we've done a lot of serious work during the full-scale war. The United Kingdom has always stood with Ukraine and continues to do so. And we value that immensely. Thank you, @Keir_Starmer. Thank you to your team and to all the people of the United Kingdom. I awarded Keir the Order of Freedom in recognition of his personal leadership and support for our people.
Prime Minister Starmer and I have had dozens of meetings, conversations, and decisions together. Today marks Keir's fourth visit to Ukraine as Prime Minister. Altogether, we've had 46 official meetings and calls alone – at least two every month. I am grateful for all the support provided to Ukraine during this time.
Today, Keir and I discussed the key issues regarding the front line, our long-range operations, and our mid-range strikes. Ukraine has achieved significant success in these areas, and we will continue applying every form of such pressure on Russia to bring this war to an end and achieve a dignified peace. We will, of course, continue coordinating closely with our British friends.
For the first time, Ukraine is developing its own ballistic missiles and deep-strike capabilities. These are not merely systems under development, but real capabilities that are already operational and reaching distances that were previously unattainable.
2,884 kilometers. That is the distance from here to the Omsk oil refinery. A historic range. Historic precision. And unlike Russia, which wages war against residential buildings, schools, and churches, Ukraine strikes the “sponsors” of Putin’s war and the tools that help him kill.
Some say that, with modern technology, we are sending Russia back to the Middle Ages. Others recall Napoleon and the days when Moscow was ablaze. But for Ukraine, it is not grand rhetoric that matters – it is the result. Our ultimate goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia. Ukraine without war. Ukraine with Europe. And Ukraine and Europe without the threat from Moscow.
From an address on Ukrainian Statehood Day – the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus–Ukraine. (4/5)
Imagine if Iran bombed a children's cancer hospital in the United States, what would you call it? TERRORISTS
The United States just bombed a children's cancer hospital, why do you call it “PEACE”?
Bombing a hospital is a war crime under international humanitarian law.
Nein, liebe AfD-Fans, Hagel, Schnee und Überflutung hat nichts mit Klimawandel zu tun, sondern ist total normales Wetter mitte Juli in Deutschland. Leugnet ruhig weiter die Realität!
Die Studie enthält auch neue Daten zu GPCR Autoantikörpern.
Es fanden sich LC-Untergruppen mit erhöhten Antikörpern gegen den Glutamatrezeptor NMDAR2C sowie gegen β1/β2-adrenerge, AT1- und ETA-Rezeptoren.
Das passt zu Befunden bei ME/CFS und spricht auch für autoimmune Untergruppen bei LC.
Die Vorträge der ME/CFS Konferenz 2026 demnächst zum Nachhören bei der @MECFSResearch Foundation @JoergHeydecke.
Bereits verfügbar eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Therapiestudien.
Ähnlich wie in unseren ME/CFS Studien zeigt diese Münchner Studie bei Long COVID, dass eine verminderte Handkraft über mindestens sechs Monate bestehen bleibt und mit der Symptomschwere korreliert.
Die Handkraft erweist sich auch hier als einfacher objektiver Biomarker für Krankheitslast und funktionelle Einschränkung.
Der PHQ9 sollte jedoch aufgrund der Symptomüberschneidung nicht als Maß für Depressivität interpretiert werden.

Diese spanische Studie bestätigt unsere Daten bei ME/CFS (Fehrer A. 2025): Spike Protein konnte bei bis zu 20% im ersten Jahr nach Infektion nachgewiesen werden, bei Genesenen genauso wie bei Long COVID und korrelierte nicht mit Schwere oder Art der Symptome.
Ein positiver Spike-Test im Plasma ist somit kein klinisch relevanter Befund und daraus kann keine Therapienotwendigkeit abgeleitet werden kann.

Today, the Russians once again "vanquished" purely civilian sites – ordinary passenger buses in Odesa, ordinary apartment buildings in Zaporizhzhia, and an ordinary hospital in the Kharkiv region. Every single day of this war that Russia is waging against life only proves that supporting Ukraine is the right thing to do from every perspective – defense, political, and simply human.
And everyone around the world sees it. They see that Ukraine needs more air defense, more protection for people's lives, and that the Russian authorities have gone insane over this war and are completely irrational in refusing to end it.
But pressure on Russia must work. New sanctions against the aggressor, new support packages for Ukraine, new projects – like our European anti-ballistic initiative, FREYJA – all of this must work. Thank you to everyone who is helping. In the near future, there will be meetings and negotiations that must strengthen our defenses.
Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.
He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.
A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.
America and the world have lost a determined leader.
Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
@TheAnnaGat Looking forward to watching the Americans deal with a heatwave and grid blackout at the same time when they all refused to install solar and batteries because it is too woke, despite being the most libertarian option. All kneel before your fossil fuel masters!
In Wien stehen überall diese tollen Wasserdampf-Säulen herum. Die Stadt installierte sie vor einigen Jahren während einer Hitzewelle, um die Menschen und das Mikroklima vor Ort abkühlen zu können. Eine sehr gute Idee, die wir in 🇩🇪 Städten unbedingt adaptieren sollten😊
It is with great sadness that I learned about the aftermath of the earthquakes in Venezuela and the loss of life they have caused. Our condolences go out to all affected families. I wish a speedy recovery to everyone injured and strength to all those searching through the rubble and working to save lives.
Ukraine hopes that the world will find ways to help the Venezuelan people in this tragic situation, and we stand ready to assist – our first responders could join the search-and-rescue operations. We are now in communication with the Venezuelan side and the Europeans, awaiting the response to our proposal.
Es gibt eine #Katastrophenformel! Und sie funktioniert!
"Hitze und Überschwemmungen, Dürre und Waldbrände verursachen weltweit großes Leid. Die Zunahme der Extreme wurde seit Jahrzehnten richtig vorhergesagt."
