After weeks of rioting in Paris no one was killed.

Which technically means your child is safer attending a riot in Paris than a school in America.

We got the bearskins out for Zelensky! Utterly adorable. Honestly, it made my cry. Props to Burnham for pulling out all the stops. 🥺 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

The war in Ukraine is the greatest fight for sovereignty and freedom in the 21st century so far.

The tragedy of Trump changing sides and backing autocratic Russia instead of democratic Ukraine will go down in history as one of America's biggest foreign policy mistakes ever.

Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO przekazał mi właśnie swoją ocenę sytuacji w regionie i na froncie ukraińsko-rosyjskim. Tak jak ostrzegałem, eskalacja ze strony Rosji postępuje. Ukraina potrzebuje większego wsparcia w powietrzu, co ma także znaczenie dla naszego bezpieczeństwa. To zadanie dla całej Europy. Najbliższe pół roku będzie rozstrzygające i musimy być przygotowani jako Polska i NATO na różne scenariusze. Nie możemy wykluczyć prowokacji ze strony Rosji wobec któregoś z członków NATO.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Warm and sincere Independence Day wishes from His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen are deeply moving and exceptionally meaningful.

I am grateful for the emphasis on Ukraine’s history, rich culture, and unyielding national spirit, as well as the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who continue to defend their homeland and uphold the values that define our state.

The steadfast friendship between Ukraine and the United Kingdom remains an invaluable wellspring of strength for our nation.

We are sincerely grateful for the constant solidarity shown by the British people. Our special bond is built upon our shared commitment to freedom, democracy, and justice.

I wish His Majesty good health and continued success, as well as peace and prosperity for the United Kingdom and its people.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, we express our special gratitude to Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with whom we've done a lot of serious work during the full-scale war. The United Kingdom has always stood with Ukraine and continues to do so. And we value that immensely. Thank you, @Keir_Starmer. Thank you to your team and to all the people of the United Kingdom. I awarded Keir the Order of Freedom in recognition of his personal leadership and support for our people.

Prime Minister Starmer and I have had dozens of meetings, conversations, and decisions together. Today marks Keir's fourth visit to Ukraine as Prime Minister. Altogether, we've had 46 official meetings and calls alone – at least two every month. I am grateful for all the support provided to Ukraine during this time.

Today, Keir and I discussed the key issues regarding the front line, our long-range operations, and our mid-range strikes. Ukraine has achieved significant success in these areas, and we will continue applying every form of such pressure on Russia to bring this war to an end and achieve a dignified peace. We will, of course, continue coordinating closely with our British friends.

Trump: "One of the things I talked to [Putin] about was, 'Where would you want to meet?' And he said, 'Ideally in Moscow.' I said, 'You're not going to meet in Moscow.'…Would you go to Moscow?"

Zelensky: "It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there."
