@CaptMarkoR@Rightanglenews If one knows they have a bias, wouldn’t pause and reconsider be the wise thing to do?
I’ve lived an hour from the US border for the last 20 years. We love our neighbours, and it goes both ways.
The biggest anti-America rhetoric is seeded in the last 100d by Trump.
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
Longest public conversation @ZelenskyyUa has given, really great to get up to speed especially on the cusp of @realDonaldTrump taking office. They discuss peace options, realities of war, paths forward. Thank you 🙏@lexfridman.
Here's my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa).
It was an intense and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to do my small part in pushing for peace.
We spoke in a mix of 3 languages: English, Ukrainian, and Russian. It's fully dubbed in each of those 3 languages. The original (mixed-language version) is available as well. So the options are:
- Audio: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Original (Mixed)
- Subtitles: English, Ukrainian, Russian
It's available here on X and everywhere else. On X, I'm uploading the Full English overdub version. The other versions will be available on YouTube (see comment thread).

@bandholz Get ready for this:
I’ve spent 2 months comparing Skio, Recharge & Awtomic for two separate clients. Awtomic’s product & support won out both times

@shanerostad Big fan of the free gifts auto-added to cart! I love the tipping study you mentioned, first principle thinking is key.
Now if only there was a way to do that with a Shopify non-Plus cart!
Also worth considering in context of Russian KGB's strategy to undermine the American political sphere w/ Neo-Marxism since the 1980s, highlighted by Yuri Bezmenov: https://t.co/ELDbdyBXfi
@ianfroese@ianfroese Love the format - I'm all for more nuanced "here's why" articles. Unfortunately rare to find an article that makes you FEEL like you have a better understanding of the situation on ground.
@_AlexIgnat Current tool for managing COVID: Lockdowns + payouts. That's all we got. Not sustainable, not desirable either. I want public discussions of the COVID data that the province is "basing its decisions" on.
I've worked under bad bosses before, that's what this feels like.
