@TradNorm @ISU_Figure Canada built schools, that girls could attend, got basic vaccines out to kids, put resources and security into maternal health. You obviously never got out of your mother’s basement.

@SianSecvqh @Kryshya @ISU_Figure I don’t believe Russian elections are fair. But Russians aren’t protesting so they must like it.

A 17-year-old Ukrainian hockey player, a candidate for the youth national team, sustained severe injuries during one of today's Russian attacks.

Russia is destroying the lives of Ukrainian athletes, while their own athletes who support this slaughter are celebrated globally.

@rsdalberta @GlobalEdmonton I recognize that your shoe size exceeds your IQ but try to attain a basic understanding of international events. You must have someone who can help you with the big words.

I am deeply concerned by reports that Ukraine’s access to Starshield has once again been restricted. These capabilities play a critical role in Ukraine’s defense against Putin’s relentless missile and drone attacks, which target civilian homes, parks, hospitals, and energy infrastructure.

With peace negotiations on the horizon, maintaining Ukraine’s momentum and leverage is more important than ever. I urge a full investigation into why these disruptions have now occurred twice and call for measures be put in place to ensure it does not happen again.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I met with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte. Thank you for your continued support in protecting Ukrainian skies. The situation is very difficult right now because of the large number of Russian missiles and drones. In just the first week of this month, Russia launched 115 missiles of various types, thousands of guided aerial bombs, and jet-powered “shaheds.”

In addition to the constant shortage of anti-ballistic interceptors, which Russia exploits to destroy our energy infrastructure, disruptions to Starshield service along the front line and in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories are creating serious challenges. This significantly limits our ability to intercept jet-powered “shaheds.” Of course, the Russians are the only ones benefiting from this.

Now that trilateral negotiations have intensified, it is important that Ukraine not be left with empty air defense launchers and that we have the means to defend ourselves. Artificial restrictions do not serve peace – they serve the aggressor. Thank you, Mark, for your willingness to help with PAC-2 and PAC-3.

@EricLDaugh Zelensky should Give Russia Alaska back in exchange for Russia withdrawing from Ukraine.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The sequencing of Ukraine-Russia talks is important.

The priority should be securing a ceasefire, followed by a peace agreement, and only then can there be discussions on Europe's wider security architecture.

Shifting the focus to Europe’s security architecture is diverting the attention away from where it actually should be, which is stopping the killing in Ukraine.

So far, we don’t see any goodwill from Russia.

My remarks at the European Political Community in Dublin ↓

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When the Americans and Russians talk about security, it’s not just about security guarantees for Ukraine. In fact, it’s more about some kind of new security framework between Europe and Russia.

We find this approach a bit strange. Because for 30 years after the Soviet Union collapsed, Europe treated Russia well. And Europe tried to have as much trade as possible, as much cooperation as possible, and as good relations as possible with Russia.

Putin’s wars are really about only his attitude toward others – not some kind of permanent confrontation with Europe that was impossible to avoid. But still, we hear what we hear today.

Macron: “Without Europeans, Canadians, Japanese and Australians, there would be no support for Ukraine. There is no more US support.”

Finally, a European leader is saying out loud what needs to be said.

The US has abandoned Ukraine and the free world.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE LAUREATE EXPOSES THE HUMAN COST BEHIND PUTIN’S SO-CALLED PEACE!

Ukrainian human rights lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk has delivered a devastating account of what Russia’s war means for the people living through it.

And she has a pointed message for Washington.

“Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. Now he has decided to finance it. These are already the longest 24 hours in human history.”

Matviichuk argues that the current diplomatic efforts amount to an imitation of a peace process, one that risks overlooking the people who have suffered under Russian occupation.

She also challenged Steve Witkoff’s description of Vladimir Putin as a humanitarian.

Having interviewed hundreds of Ukrainians released from Russian captivity, Matviichuk described testimonies of beatings, sexual violence, mutilation, prolonged isolation and torture.

These are not abstract accusations to her. They are accounts collected from people whose lives have been permanently changed.

One of her most painful memories involves a five-year-old girl in Kyiv.

According to Matviichuk, Russian forces abducted the child’s mother because of her pro-Ukrainian views, subjected her to torture and sexual violence, transferred her to Russia and brought fabricated criminal charges against her.

The little girl embraced Matviichuk and begged her to bring her mother home.

Matviichuk, despite being an experienced human rights lawyer, had no legal mechanism capable of compelling Russia to release her.

She could only promise that the fight would continue.

Then there is the story of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna.

Roshchyna travelled into Russian-occupied territory to document what was happening to civilians. She was detained, held incommunicado and transferred to Russia.

Matviichuk described how her friend was denied medical care and reportedly weighed just 30 kilograms before her death.

When her body was eventually returned to her family, months later, several organs and other anatomical structures were missing.

The circumstances of her death remain unresolved.

Roshchyna believed that documenting the truth could save lives because people who understood what was happening might act to stop it.

Another person Matviichuk remembered was her teacher, Professor Ihor Kozlovskyi.

He survived approximately 700 days in Russian captivity, including months of isolation in a dark basement cell.

To preserve his sense of humanity, he delivered philosophy lectures aloud to the rats emerging from the sewer.

After his release, the consequences of torture were so severe that he had to learn to walk again.

Yet he refused to define himself solely through his suffering.

“The foundation of our existence is dignity. And dignity is action.”

That sentence captures something essential about Matviichuk’s testimony.

A peace agreement can stop the shooting. But it cannot, by itself, return abducted parents, establish the fate of missing prisoners, deliver justice to torture survivors or restore the lives already destroyed.

This is why the human rights dimension of any settlement matters.

Ceasefires, territorial arrangements and security guarantees may dominate diplomatic negotiations, but the treatment of prisoners, the return of deported civilians and accountability for documented crimes cannot simply disappear from the agenda.

Matviichuk’s testimony challenges the idea that peace can be measured only by whether political leaders reach an agreement.

For the families still waiting for their loved ones, the question is also whether that agreement brings them home.

And for the little girl who begged for her mother, peace will mean something far more personal than a signature on a document.
