If you like the dogs I share and they cheer you up daily, I’d love you to watch this one video.

I only do this once a year and never ask any other time.

You can support here and if you can’t sharing this video helps 🙏 https://t.co/Roftrb3ZWW

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Arrived in Brussels. Ahead today is a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and tomorrow with Prime Minister of Belgium Bart De Wever. An audience with King Philippe of the Belgians is also scheduled.

These are important days for strengthening our defense: there will be meetings with the defense ministers of the United Kingdom and Germany, a Ramstein meeting, and a meeting of the European Council.

I thank everyone who is helping and supporting us. Europe must be strong and united. This will largely determine how this war ends.

- Giorgia Meloni on Russia:

"The only way to guarantee peace is deterrence...
Deterrence comes from the Latin 'de' - via da - e 'terrere', to scare.

You must be strong enough to make the enemy desist from the possibility of attacking you.

It is strength that builds peace, not weakness..."

She is really great...😉

This mother was carrying a single chicken foot in her mouth.

Just one.

Not a meal.

Not enough for her.

And certainly not enough for all the babies waiting for her.

Local people told us she had been lingering around a meat stall for a long time.

Hungry.

Hopeful.

Waiting.

Then, by pure chance, a single chicken foot fell from the table.

And she grabbed it.

Not for herself.

For her babies.

As she hurried away, she kept looking left and right, then left again.

Afraid.

Nervous.

Terrified that someone might chase her away before she could reach her puppies.

That moment broke our hearts.

Because that tiny chicken foot told the entire story of her life.

A mother with nothing.

Trying to feed her children with almost nothing.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

MACRON: Americans tried to negotiate with Russia. What was the result of those efforts? Nothing.

We Europeans also tried to negotiate with Russia. What happened? Nothing.

Zelenskyy also said, "I’m ready to negotiate with Russia." What did Putin say? "No."

So, President Trump, just like all the G7 members, agreed that Russia has shown no serious willingness to engage in peace negotiations.

We all agreed to increase our support for Ukraine. We all stated that we would increase pressure on Russia, and we all agreed to remain steadfast on this path.

This represents real change compared to the last few months, not just from Europe, but from all G7 members and all those who support Ukraine.

Defence Minister Fedorov: Ukrainian ballistics will change everything in this war and Ukraine's status in the world.

There is no financial problem with developing Ukrainian ballistics. As our President said: it will exist, and it will hit Russia.

🇵🇱 Radosław Sikorski, Poland’s Foreign Minister:

> “I suspect that Trump believed that without another major aid package, Ukraine would find itself in serious difficulty much sooner, and the war could therefore be brought to an end by forcing Ukraine to make concessions.

I think they will eventually realize that, with European support, Ukraine is not collapsing, and that this war cannot be ended without Ukraine’s consent and without Europe’s consent either. Because, to use Trump’s own term, the United States’ cards are not as strong as they once were.”

Our guy! 🇵🇱🇺🇦

[D.Radka, #NAFO 🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦 @DakdaR22]

- Donald Tusk- PM of Poland:

"We know very well that Ukraine's independence keeps the risk of aggression or war away from Polish borders, and the fall of Ukraine as a result of this war would mean a direct threat to Poland.

So we are also looking at this, in a certain sense, egoistically..that is, thinking about the Polish interest."

Russland tötet eine 87-jährige Frau im Rollstuhl mit einer FPV-Drohne.
Der Pilot hat sie gesehen. Er hat trotzdem abgedrückt.
Das ist kein Kollateralschaden.
Das ist kein „Krieg".
Das ist ein Mensch, der eine bewusste Entscheidung trifft — in einem System, das genau das will, fördert und belohnt.

Es gibt Regime, die Verbrechen im Verborgenen begehen. Die lügen, vertuschen, leugnen.
Russland tut das Gegenteil. Russland filmt.
Russland veröffentlicht. Russland wiederholt.
Das ist kein Versagen der Kontrolle — das ist Methode.
Das ist Botschaft.
Das macht Russland einzigartig gefährlich.
Nicht weil es das Einzige ist, das tötet.
Sondern weil es das Einzige ist, das damit offen droht.

Und dieser Staat sitzt im UN-Sicherheitsrat.
Sitzt in internationalen Gremien.
Verhandelt über „Frieden". Jeden Versuch, ihn auszuschließen, kann er per Veto selbst blockieren.
Der erste Schritt wäre der einfachste — und der wichtigste: Russland als Verbrecherstaat benennen. Offiziell. Laut. Wiederholt. Und dann die Konsequenz ziehen: Ausschluss aus allen internationalen Gremien, in denen Rechtstaatlichkeit Voraussetzung sein sollte.

Kein G7-Kommuniqué.
Kein Staatschef.
Kein Außenminister hat das bisher getan.
Immer wieder nicht.
Kein einziges Mal.

Solange wir das nicht aussprechen — normalisieren wir es.
Und Normalisierung ist Mitschuld.

Another broken promise from Trump.

Apparently there is no money for your health care but there is about $300 million of YOUR tax dollars for his gold-plated ballroom.

russian barbarians just hit a horse riding school in Sumy region.

The horses had no chance.

No military value. No logic. Just destruction for its own sake. This is russia.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! MS NOW confirms Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel used over $1M in taxpayer funds to illegally reward a secret "Payback Squad" of loyalist agents.

Rep. Raskin reveals they were paid to carry out unlawful orders and cover up Patel's misbehavior!

🇺🇦 OLENA ZELENSKA: UKRAINE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE HOPE

“We are all tense. We are all waiting for victory. We are trying to hold on to hope and not lose it.

We cannot become tired, because if we do, we will die.” - Olena Zelenska 🇺🇦

For Ukrainians, resilience is not an abstract virtue. It is what keeps a nation alive while it fights for its freedom, its families and its future.

[WORLD NEWS @_MAGA_NEWS_]

WATCH: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

#ThoughtForTheDay from Lek Chailert.

“When I am tired, discouraged, or carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, the loving greetings I receive from the elephants become a powerful source of strength. 🐘

A gentle touch of a trunk, a familiar call, or the simple joy they show when they see me can instantly lift my spirit.

Their love is pure, honest, and unconditional. It reminds me why I continue this work, no matter how difficult the journey may be.

Every day, the elephants give me the energy and determination to keep fighting for them—to protect them, to speak for them, and to help create a world where they can live with dignity, freedom, and wellbeing.

As long as I have a voice, I will continue to stand beside them.” ~ Lek Chailert.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Every single paycheck of your working life, you pay into Social Security and Medicare. You were promised that when you needed it, it would be there.

Speaker Mike Johnson just told the country, on camera, that these programs are “entitlements” that need to be “adjusted and fixed,” and that Republicans have a plan to do it next year.

Just when the cost of everything is going up, Washington Republicans want to come after the one thing you’ve spent your whole life paying into and counting on.

This isn’t a handout. It’s money you've earned, and I’m doing everything in my power to protect it.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SEN. KELLY: Ukraine is not asking us to fight with them with U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. They’re asking for help with equipment.

We want Russia to lose. I want Russia to lose badly. I want Ukraine to win. Best way to achieve that is to give them assistance they need.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.

That’s not public safety. That’s state-sponsored trauma.

The ammunition to fight ICE is here: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

After Russia bombed a UNESCO World Heritage site and killed Ukrainian civilians, Italy's PM Meloni said it plainly: "We can't look away."

Speaking alongside Japan's Prime Minister ahead of the G7 summit, Meloni said support for Ukraine and the pursuit of peace will be central elements of the summit. She specifically named Russia's attacks on millennia-old symbols of Christianity and UNESCO heritage sites as the reason solidarity is not optional.

Italy and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to defending international law and achieving a just and lasting peace. The G7 will also push to reactivate the negotiating process to end the war.

The G7 is meeting. The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is still damaged. The timing is not lost on anyone.
