Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region – for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit. Targets were also struck in the Rostov region and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is a fully justified response to Russian attacks on our cities and communities, and another important result of our warriors’ work against facilities that sustain Russia’s war machine. I thank our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their coordinated efforts – the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, Defense Intelligence, and our missile brigade for their precision.

In recent days, all of our partners have noted the precision and effectiveness of our mid-range strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time the war ended, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.

The "US biolabs in Ukraine" story is one of the Kremlin's oldest and most successful disinformation campaigns.

The facilities in question were Ukrainian public health and veterinary laboratories supported by the US Cooperative Threat Reduction Program to improve biosafety and disease surveillance. None of the publicly available documents show evidence of biological weapons.

In Russian state media, these facilities are routinely described outright as "US bioweapons labs." Among pro-Kremlin influencers and politicians in the West, the messaging is often more subtle. They simply talk about "dangerous pathogens" and hint at unspecified sinister purposes, allowing audiences to draw their own conclusions.

Yet Tulsi Gabbard, a long-time Russia supporter who met Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad twice and questioned the Assad regime's responsibility for the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, is now presenting old public documents as newly "declassified evidence." In reality, ODNI simply re-stamped documents that had already been public for years.

Many of the slides are excerpts from a Pentagon DTRA fact sheet released publicly in March 2022. Gabbard's office repackaged these documents and presented them alongside Russian fabrications as evidence of a sinister biolabs program.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. When it comes to Ukraine, Gabbard has consistently echoed Kremlin talking points. She has argued that the US and NATO provoked Putin into invading Ukraine, framed the conflict as a US-Russia proxy war, claimed that sanctions hurt the West more than Russia, blamed an "elite cabal of warmongers" for the conflict, and suggested that peace negotiations should prioritize avoiding nuclear war.

She has repeatedly claimed that the war could have been avoided by ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine. But Putin himself made clear in his essays and speeches before the invasion that his goals went far beyond NATO and centered on denying Ukraine's right to exist as an independent nation.

She has also dismissed allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election as a "manufactured hoax" and appeared as a speaker at the "antiwar" Rage Against the War Machine rally in 2023.

Tulsi's only goal with all this is to hurt Ukraine and help Russia.

It’s been over 6 years. Taking the temporal aspect into consideration, COVID-19 is the most researched disease in the history of medicine.

The excuse that it’s a new disease and we don’t know much yet might’ve been acceptable in 2020.

It doesn’t hold anymore.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Last night, the House chose to stand with Ukraine, and I was proud to cast my vote.

We passed military and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, plus hard new sanctions on Russia.

We did it over the objections of Mike Johnson and Republican leadership, who spent over a year trying to keep this bill from ever hitting the floor.

Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle and did the right thing.

Why does this matter?

Because when a giant authoritarian state invades a smaller democracy, there is no gray area. There is no “both sides.”

Vladimir Putin is a thug. He started an unprovoked war. He flattened cities. He stole children from their families. Helping Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s the test of whether we still mean a single word we say about freedom.

I heard every excuse. The war’s winding down, they said, so let’s wait and see. Nonsense. You don’t strengthen a democracy by going wobbly the second things get hard. You don’t stop the next invasion by telling the world American resolve comes with an expiration date. Putin is watching. So is every dictator who dreams of taking what isn’t his by force.

This bill still has to clear the Senate and survive a presidential signature. The odds are long. But the House did its job. And we said it plainly: no country gets swallowed whole just because a tyrant wants it.

I’ll keep fighting to see this through. Ukraine’s fight is our fight, and we do not abandon our friends.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

If you do not personally come to the conclusion that it is time to end this war, Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence. We will have those who support us.
But you, too, will have to fight much harder for your own existence — not Russia’s, but your own. And this is not a threat from me or from Ukraine. It is a fact of Russian history that you know well: when Russia grows tired, change comes.
We can work toward that fatigue.
You can stop your war.
Eternal memory to all those whose lives were taken by this war.

Glory to Ukraine!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We brought the war onto your territory, and you would not have been able to cope with it without North Korea’s help. You are the first ruler of Russia to turn to Pyongyang for assistance.
And today you are fully dependent on China — also for the first time in Russia’s history.
You believed Ukrainians would not have the strength to defend themselves. Yet today, our people are helping our partners in the Middle East and the Gulf build their own defenses.
You hoped for internal unrest in Ukraine. Instead, it was your own military formations that staged a mutiny against you. June 23 will mark another anniversary of that event, and silence will not erase this fact from history.
And now it is you whom your own officials, businessmen, and propagandists look at with obvious fatigue. The world can see it.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

This is the article to amplify this week.

“Long COVID confirmed a difficult reality: modern healthcare systems are optimized for diseases that can be rapidly diagnosed, categorized, and treated — not illnesses that require uncertainty tolerance, longitudinal care, and deep listening.”

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast.

Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!

Presidentti @GitanasNauseda vahvisti tänään Liettuan aikeen hankkia yhteensä 936 Patrian panssaroitua ajoneuvoa.

Erinomainen valinta ja loistava esimerkki kaikkia hyödyttävästä puolustusteollisesta yhteistyöstä.

Patrian ajoneuvot ovat suomalaisen teknologian ja osaamisen tuloksia. Laatua, jolle on kysyntää ympäri maailmaa. Ajoneuvoja on käytössä jo Suomessa, Ruotsissa, Latviassa, Tanskassa, Saksassa ja Ukrainassa.

Liettuan ratkaisu kuvastaa myös monikansallisen CAVS-kehittämishankkeen vahvuutta ja potentiaalia. Suorituskykyä rakennetaan yhteistyöllä.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Still want to continue sham negotiations with this murderous Russian regime, Europe? Or will you finally realize the only negotiation Putin and his gang will ever understand is military defeat that threatens their power?

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

Last night Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, it targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure. 

This senseless war of aggression has to be stopped. We must continue putting pressure on Russia’s war machine and increase our support to Ukraine.

[Roman Giertych @GiertychRoman]

They betrayed those in Afghanistan who trusted them.

They betrayed Ukraine by withdrawing support, even though they had guaranteed the inviolability of its borders.

They betrayed Denmark, their longtime ally, by demanding Greenland from them.

They betrayed Taiwan by calling it “a small and distant island” while in China, increasing the risk of a Chinese attack.

Now they are withdrawing their troops from Romania and Poland, leaving Eastern Europe on its own.

We will manage on our own, because for centuries we have known one thing: if you want to rely on something, rely on yourself. But these betrayals will forever strip the United States of its role as a superpower. What kind of superpower does not keep its word? In our part of the world, a new superpower must rise to take America’s place: Europe.

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz has looked at modern America and reached a conclusion that would have been unthinkable five years ago: don’t go there.

He wouldn’t recommend his own children move to the US, study there, or build a career there. Not because of the cost of living, but because, as he put it, “a social climate has suddenly developed there.”

He also noted that even America’s best-educated are struggling to find work, and argued that Germany — yes, Germany, the country Americans spent decades gently patronising — now offers young people more opportunity.

The relationship between Washington and Berlin has been heading south for months. Merz called the US war against Iran an embarrassment. Trump responded by threatening troop reductions and more car tariffs.
So that’s where we are. The leader of America’s most important European ally is telling his kids: maybe don’t.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The US Secretary of the Army just admitted that Ukraine’s battlefield technology is more advanced than America’s.

Ukraine built a single network integrating every drone, every sensor, every weapon platform. The US Army does not have this.

Europe is about to spend €800 billion on defense.

The future is in Kyiv. Not Washington. Not Brussels.
