‼️Radosław Sikorski w RB ONZ.
„Nie mogąc przełamać frontu, Rosja z premedytacją uderza w ukraińskich cywilów. W pasażerów kolei, ulicznych sprzedawców, rowerzystów. W elektrownie, fabryki, centra handlowe. W port w Odessie, przez który normalnie wysyła się 50 milionów ton zboża rocznie do krajów Afryki i Azji” – powiedział między innymi wicepremier, szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski @sikorskiradek w czasie swojego wystąpienia w Radzie Bezpieczeństwa ONZ.
„Rosja eskaluje, ponieważ jej przywódcy się boją. Po ponad czterech latach bezsensownej, kolonialnej wojny Władimir Putin niczego nie osiągnął. Kończą mu się zasoby, brakuje mu rekrutów. Potrzebuje pretekstu do kolejnej mobilizacji. Ta niepotrzebna wojna kosztowała życie lub zdrowie półtora miliona Rosjan. Rośnie zagrożenie dla milionów Ukraińców i innych Europejczyków. W każdej chwili Putin może spróbować sprowokować państwo członkowskie NATO i rozszerzyć obszar objęty wojną. Przedstawicielom Federacji Rosyjskiej chcę powiedzieć: od ponad dwunastu lat próbujecie podbić Donbas, a od ponad czterech lat - Kijów. Zostaliście powstrzymani przez bohaterską Ukrainę - kraj o gospodarce dziesięciokrotnie mniejszej od waszej. Ale gospodarka Polski jest już tylko o połowę mniejsza od waszej. Gospodarka Europy jest dziesięciokrotnie większa, a krajów NATO - dwudziestopięciokrotnie większa. Możecie zabić znacznie więcej ludzi. Ale nie jesteście w stanie wygrać. Możecie w każdej chwili zakończyć tę imperialną wojnę z wyboru. Nie wystawiajcie Europy i świata na jeszcze większe niebezpieczeństwo. Przestańcie niszczyć przyszłość Rosji” – podkreślił wicepremier, szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski, który zwrócił się do Siergieja Ławrowa szefa rosyjskiej dyplomacji, by powiedział swojemu szefowi, że już wystarczy.

This is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined.
Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels.
Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion.
Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times.
In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere:
“How many combines are available in Europe?”
“Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.”
“I’ll take them all.”
Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers.
He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him:
“Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.”
Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center.
“$14 million.”
“Okay. And what do you expect in return?”
“Nothing. Build it.”
Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients.
But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics.
It is food: 642 million meals.
And that is only part of it:
* 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks;
* 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories;
* Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding.
“I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says.
He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson.
Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world.
I simply want to thank him and wish him well.
Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine.
He simply chose to help.

Canadian PM Mark Carney:
Trump said, "I want to give you something very special, Mark. So special."
And I open this box and it’s this big gold key. I was like, "Wow, Mr. President, this is fantastic." He’s like, "Yeah, it’s a key. It’s a key to the White House. You just bring it. They’ll let you in."
And then he says, "Maybe they’ll shoot you."
I was like, "And that sort of sums up the relationship that we have."

Mark Carney: "We do not seek power to dominate others. On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so no one, no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law."
Dear @MarkJCarney we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.
And create a common prosperity and economic security space.
🟥 WOW…
Prime Minster Mark Carney’s video today “Forward Guidance”, to rally Canadians, is one of the best addresses by any world leader, ever, to their citizens. 🍁
It is an eloquent and inspiring ‘call to arms’ for our national participation in economic renewal, prosperity building, and sovereignty protection.
It is undeniable.
We have the right leader, at the right time. 👌🏻
🔳 “Our forebearers understood that building this improbable country in an inhospitable land wouldn't always be easy.
But they also knew they could rely on one of Canadian's strongest traits: Resilience.
Canada Strong isn't about just withstanding this crisis, it's about coming out of it stronger, more resilient, more independent than when we started.
It's about ensuring that no country can hold us hostage. And that we can live how we want to live.”
The first Drone Deal with a country in the Americas will be with Canada. In Alberta, together with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, we looked at the drones that will be among the first to be used under this agreement. Canada is ready to place large orders, and 30% of the production will be transferred to Ukraine.
Of course, right now we need to find and scale up solutions to protect Ukraine from jet-powered “shaheds.” We are working on this and will share our developments and solutions with our partners.
We help those who help us. Thank you to Canada for a true partnership.
"Our President will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and ineffective." -- Trump, Nov. 16, 2011 on President Obama. Unlike Trump, Obama did not start a war with Iran.
This aged like gas station sushi.
Zelensky to Putin:
Putin hopes that we are tired. We know that he is mortal.
He never understood us — and now he will not have time to. You wanted to take all of Ukraine, all of our land.
Instead, you lost your oil refineries, your fleet, your revenues, and an entire generation that you sent into the meat grinder.
You wanted us to disappear from the map. Now you are disappearing from the international agenda of the future civilization.
For 27 years, the ruler of Russia has been talking about greatness, while Russia stands in lines for gasoline.
