Strength in numbers. The US has allocated 177bn for Ukraine within past 3 years. Around of 60bn stayed in the US. So approximately 110bn is either delivered or planned to be delivered to Ukraine

Two hundred and fifty years ago, America's Founding Fathers launched a great experiment: a nation built on the belief that all people are endowed with the unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
Freedom did not come without sacrifice. Since then, the American people have defended their way of life with their blood, sweat, and talent, until the United States of America became the unquestioned beacon of Freedom for all humanity.
We, the people of Ukraine, stand firm every day in defense of our own Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness in the face of tyranny. In our darkest hour, the American people answered our call, extended a helping hand, and provided invaluable support – as a true embodiment of American leadership. The leadership needed for freedom to triumph over evil.
Ukraine extends its deepest gratitude to the American people and joins you in celebrating the great success of the American experiment.
God bless the United States of America, and glory to Ukraine!
Another night of terror in Kyiv. The Russian army, as usual, launched rocket attacks on residential buildings. Ten civilians were killed and dozens were wounded.
Such attacks make no military sense – they're simply terrorism. The Russians can't win on the front lines, so they take revenge on civilians, killing people while they sleep.
I am grateful to all the members of parliament who supported the bill on the Ukrainian National Pantheon. This is an important step. And it is important not only in the context of our history and Ukrainians’ honoring of their own heroes, but also in the context of creating the foundations for long-term social unity in the future. This is possible when our state’s decisions are based on recognizing reality – those whom people truly honor, those who have made a truly historic contribution to the defense, development, and strengthening of Ukraine, its agency, independence, and glory. I am awaiting the bill for immediate signing.
No one will ever again dictate to Ukrainians which heroes to honor, which holidays to celebrate, or which history to study. Our ancestors fought for centuries for this right to freedom of choice and national independence, and it is for this very right that our warriors are shedding their blood today. Their memory must live on forever.
We, our children, and all future generations must clearly know and honor those who dedicated their lives to the struggle for Ukraine. This is especially important today, as we are fighting a war for Ukraine’s freedom.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has submitted to the Verkhovna Rada the draft law “On the Ukrainian National Pantheon.” This is a decisive and much-needed step toward restoring historical justice, consolidating our society, and laying the foundation of memory for future generations. This document is a testament to our maturity as a state.
I am convinced that the Ukrainian Parliament understands the importance of this initiative and will consider and adopt this draft law as soon as possible.
Glory to Ukraine!
Більше ніхто й ніколи не буде диктувати українцям, яких героїв шанувати, які свята відзначати чи яку історію вивчати. За це право свободи власного вибору та національної незалежності наші предки боролися сотні років, і саме за це сьогодні проливають кров наші воїни. Пам’ять про них повинна жити вічно.
Ми, наші діти та всі майбутні покоління повинні чітко знати й шанувати тих, хто присвятив своє життя боротьбі за Україну. Це особливо важливо сьогодні, коли ми ведемо війну за свободу України.
Президент Володимир Зеленський вніс до Верховної Ради законопроєкт «Про Український національний пантеон». Це рішучий і дуже потрібний крок для ��ідновлення історичної справедливості, консолідації нашого суспільства та закладення фундаменту пам’яті для наступних поколінь. Цей документ є свідченням нашої державної зрілості.
Переконаний, що український парламент розуміє важливість такої ініціативи та якнайшвидше розгляне та ухвалить цей законопроєкт.
Слава Україні!
Pragnę podziękować każdemu Polakowi, który klarownie wyraził swoje stanowisko przeciwko eskalacji napięcia z Ukrainą. Jesteśmy zdecydowanymi zwolennikami takiego samego podejścia.
Widzimy Was i doceniamy Waszą postawę. Dla wielu Ukraińców daje to nadzieję na przyszłość naszych dobrosąsiedzkich relacji.
I wielu Ukraińców podziela te same uczucia wobec Narodu Polskiego, niezależnie od wszelkich napięć politycznych.
Jesteśmy mądrymi narodami, zawsze potrafimy znaleźć wyjście z trudnej sytuacji. Łączy nas trudna historia, wspólna przyszłość oraz zagrożenie ze strony naszego odwiecznego wroga – Moskwy.
Kyrylo Budanov returned a Polish state award.
His message was clear:
If Poland still hasn't stripped Hitler's ally Benito Mussolini of its highest honor, then don't lecture Ukraine about justice.
True partnership begins with mutual respect.
Jestem z Polski, Jestem z Ukrainą!🇺🇦
Przepraszam cię Ukraino, za to co zrobił rezydent Polski. Ja stoję solidarnie z wami! Pomagać wam będę niezmiennie.
Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.
Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that.
Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia.
Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state.
Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace.
Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security.
Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century.
And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century.
I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression.
We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland.
I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve.
Glory to Ukraine!
