- Volodymyr Zelensky
President of Ukraine 🇺🇦:
“Right now, things are really very difficult for all of us. But there is a force holding us firmly by the hand – and it’s actually not invisible at all. It is the strength of our mutual circle: support for one another, freedom from doubt about the person beside us, faith in all Ukrainians.
And as long as the enemy does not break this circle of ours, Ukraine will not fall, will achieve its peace, and will succeed.
In all his plans for Ukraine, Putin got the most important thing wrong. The enemy counted our resources, our stockpiles, our equipment, but failed to take into account what was key. People.
The greatest achievement of Ukraine’s independence.”
“Ukraine existed, Ukraine exists, Ukraine will exist.”

This is so open-hearted nation, I admire their strenght every day🇺🇦❤️🫡
Ukraine will prevail!
❗️Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said in Washington that he would be glad to help the United States build a “drone army” in exchange for Patriot interceptor missiles so Ukraine can survive the winter. He is seeking investors for a defense tech fund that would both finance Ukrainian startups and create companies of its own, with priorities including robots to reduce the need for infantry on the front line, cheap high-speed interceptors for jet-powered drones, and inexpensive AI-guided missiles. According to Fedorov, interceptors of Russian jet-powered drones have already been tested in Ukraine, and extra support would allow mass production. Separately, the FT reports that Zelensky asked Elon Musk for permission to use Starlink-connected drones to strike ballistic missile launchers as far as 200 km inside Russia; Musk had previously not ruled out such use but said the political decision would have to come from the White House.
I was abroad for only 1 week and returned to Kyiv to a completely different reality. More than 10 air raid alarms per day, jet-powered Shaheds, explosions, and air defenses operating in broad daylight. But the city will probably adapt to this soon, too #Ukraine
The cargo ship "OMSKIY-107," which was attacked by a drone in the Black Sea, has run aground off the Turkish coast.
🔺It appears that the ship's captain lost control of the vessel and was forced to run it aground on the sand in order to bring it to a stop.

We paid tribute to fallen Ukrainian warriors. Every day of free life on Ukrainian soil has been won by our defenders – the people who stood up to protect their nation, their right to be free, and gave their lives for it.
We preserve the memory of every name, every story, every hero who is now part of the great history of our state. We honor the sacrifice of every one of them.
Eternal memory to the fallen warriors.
Eternal gratitude.
🇳🇴 Norwegians deliver evacuation vehicles to Ukraine
Two Norwegian volunteers raised funds and personally drove evacuation vehicles from the UK to Ukraine with @drivingukraine.
When Germans found a stash of weapons in a forest near Berlin and revealed it belonged to russia who was keeping them there for planned assasinations, I said russia does it in your 🫵 country too.
Now it's Poland.
Have no illusions about this not happening everywhere.
Ukrainian forces carried out a widespread HIMARS strike on Russia's Belgorod this afternoon, striking multiple sites, including an Ozon sorting center, the city's power plant, and an additional Ozon warehouse complex.
Seen here, the Belgorod Power Plant burns.
After weeks of weeks of horrific fuel lines, Moscow has begun pulling gasoline from all regions of the ciuntry to maintain stability in the capital.
In a week's time, Moscow has gone from only 21% of service stations having any gasoline availability, to 45-65% (Moscow-Moscow region), while Russia-wide is currently only 34%.

🇺🇦 At 20, Viktoria Honcharuk had what many people dream of.
A life in America.
Harvard acceptance.
A career as an investment analyst on Wall Street.
Then Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine🇺🇦
Tori left that life behind and returned to Ukraine.
She trained as a combat medic with the Hospitallers and went where she was needed most... Zaporizhzhia, Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Lyman and Kharkiv.
She lost close friends💔
Yet when asked about her dreams, she said:
“I dream of living to the moment when I can dream again.”
She was accepted to Harvard, but chose not to go.
“Today, Tori leads AB3. Tech, turning battlefield experience into defense technology and helping connect Ukraine’s soldiers with engineers, companies and investors.
From Wall Street to the battlefield.
From saving lives to building the technology that can save them❤️🩹
This is awesome Viktoria “Tori” Honcharuk.
Just, wow🫡
I admire power of this nation🇺🇦!
Stay safe and stay strong as you are❤️
We are preparing for new communication with envoys of the U.S. President. More details will follow tomorrow. We are doing everything to ensure that war doesn’t remain the only option for what comes next.
Importantly, America shares many of our views on the situation both on the front and with the strikes. We should be active, and that is exactly how we are working – actively, with no days off.
