The House passage of the Ukraine Support Act is an important step forward and reflects continued bipartisan support for Ukraine.
I am grateful to the members of the House of Representatives for keeping Ukraine high on the agenda and advancing legislation that reinforces security assistance, strengthens sanctions on Russia, supports Ukraine’s recovery, and reaffirms accountability for the deportation of Ukrainian children by Russia.

Japan deploys personnel to NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine
👥 Four members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces began a deployment to NSATU with their arrival at NSATU Headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany on Friday, May 29, 2026. (1/4)👇
Putin tried to intimidate foreign diplomats and drive them out of Kyiv. But he failed. Instead, the entire NATO North Atlantic Council visited Kyiv today — 32 senior diplomats representing every NATO Ally, led by our true friend, @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte.
It was a busy but truly fruitful day. President @ZelenskyyUa and Secretary General Rutte co-chaired a NATO-Ukraine Council meeting and held in-depth bilateral talks.
I had an honor of hosting a separate meeting with our NATO allies at Saint Sophia of Kyiv. This cathedral is more than 1,000 years old. It symbolizes the continuity of our statehood and our history that Russia tries to steal but will not succeed.
Naturally, every meeting today focused first and foremost on finding solutions to protect life from Russian ballistic terror. Tactically, this means securing additional Patriot systems and PAC-3 interceptor missiles. At present, this is the only system in the world capable of reliably countering this threat.
Strategically, we are working on a European anti-ballistic protection. Ukraine is ready to contribute, but we need a joint effort to speed up results. For Europe, this is a matter of strategic security.
Russian ballistic terror can and must be stopped. It is our shared responsibility.
Together with our allies, we also discussed further PURL contributions — European funding to purchase American weapons for Ukraine, enabling us to continue holding the line.
Ukraine-NATO relations are gaining new momentum as we move toward the NATO Summit in Ankara this July. Ukraine will be there. Today, I also presented our NATO allies with several concrete proposals that could become practical outcomes of the Ankara Summit.
The entire North Atlantic Council is in Kyiv for the first time since Russia launched its brutal and unprovoked war against #Ukraine 🇺🇦
Today and every day, Slava Ukraini!

It is totally unacceptable that a clearly marked UN vehicle was hit by Russian drones in #Kherson yesterday.
Civilians and humanitarian workers are #NotATarget, and must be protected, not attacked.
Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine must stop.
NORAD Commander Gen Guillot visited our delegation last week. 🇨🇦
Great to see NATO and NORAD working in lockstep to deter and defend the entirety of NATO territory, from the pacific and Arctic coasts of North America to the Alliance’s eastern flank. #WeAreNATO#WeAreAlsoNORAD
"From the practical side, NATO works very well, its like a Swiss watch, its expensive but it works."
In Estonia, its not customary to be optimistic about anything, but with NATO we are, said @KristenMichalPM. 🇪🇪

IAEA has been informed of a major increase in drone activity near Ukrainian NPP sites this week, with more than 160 UAVs recorded flying in the vicinity of the South Ukraine, Chornobyl, and Rivne NPP sites on 13-14 May.
While the IAEA’s teams report no direct impact on nuclear safety at these sites, IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi expresses deep concern about such military activities near NPPs and reiterates need to fully respect the 7 indispensable pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during the conflict. DG Grossi also calls again for maximum restraint to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident.
That has become another brutal tradition for Russia — to use every pause in aerial bombardment simply to accumulate more assets and launch even larger attacks. Almost all of Ukraine was under attack again, including all regions along the entire border with NATO countries. Ukraine is doing its best to exert pressure on Russia, but we need more decisive joint efforts to raise the cost of the war and deprive Moscow of the means to continue it. @UKRinNATO
Thank you @RugeBoris for the opportunity to convene this discussion at @NATO HQ and raise awareness of the current state of affairs at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, as well as Ukraine’s current priorities in this regard. @UKRinNATO
