Je veux être pour vous la liberté et le vent de la vie avant que la nuit ne devienne introuvable.
Mon amour à la robe de phare bleue.
Je baise la fièvre de ton visage où couche la lumière qui jouit en secret.
-René Char
😠 1.6 million Ukrainian children have lived under Russian occupation since 2014, with 742,000 forcibly relocated or deported to Russia between Feb and Dec 2022 alone, Ukraine's ombudsman says.
Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022.
I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.
There is progress in our negotiations with the European Union regarding Ukraine’s membership. We will have a very clear schedule of opportunities for moving forward in the negotiations, especially after the changes in Hungary. We met the deadlines. Now, already in June, we strongly expect to move to the opening of the clusters, which Ukraine has prepared. We've done our part. Now it’s up to the European Union.
Les russes profitent du soutien américain et continuent à lancer des missiles balistiques sur la capitale ukrainienne.
Énormément de destructions à Kyiv, de nombreux Ukrainiens tués par Moscou criminelle sont à déplorer.
La russie est un État terroriste.
Ceux qui la défendent sont responsables de la mort d’innocents.

Pourquoi s'en prendre uniquement à la famille Bongo ? Depuis trois ans, un démon règne sur le Gabon – pourquoi n'a-t-il pas transformé le Gabon en un paradis terrestre ?
Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defense does not allow us to intercept a significant share of missiles. Last night, there were hits. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including two children. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones.
We know from intelligence that another large-scale strike may come as soon as tonight. All our partners together, and everyone in Europe, should continue working to ensure missiles for our air defense, as well as the systems, critical intelligence, and other things that help to save lives.
It is crystal clear that Europe needs its own anti-ballistic system with sufficient volumes and strength to guarantee protection against any threat.
Meeting with Serhiy Prytula. It was a substantive dialogue, and I am grateful for the readiness to support our state in areas where state institutions' activity is currently insufficient. We discussed educational projects, increased state support for Plast and other similar patriotic organizations. We also discussed civil society proposals for building systemic capabilities, such as the export of Ukrainian weapons, as well as cooperation between the state and charitable foundations in military procurement. We will also increase support for the volunteer activities of Ukrainians. Glory to Ukraine!
Another massive Russian attack on Ukrainian civilians. (let’s be honest: civilians are who Russia has been fighting all along).
Again, reports of small children found lifeless in their beds. Again, a mother loses her limbs trying to save her toddlers. Again, an elderly couple dies not of old age but of Russia’s hatred for Ukrainians.
Again, rescuers dig through the rubble searching for signs of life. Again, they pull out a woman crushed beneath concrete, suspended between life and death, after hours of darkness and fear.
For Ukrainians, this is the fear they go to sleep with every night. Every Ukrainian goes to bed knowing that before morning comes they may wake beneath the ruins of their own home, covered not by a blanket, but by the building itself.
History rarely offers a war as morally clear as this one. A war fought not for resources, territory, prestige, or profit, but against an authoritarian regime openly trying to erase a nation and terrorize a population into submission.
The disturbing part is not even that this war exists.
The disturbing part is how few are willing to fight it.
Ukraine is fighting one of the world’s clearest battles against authoritarianism. Yet much of the democratic world still behaves as if stopping evil were somehow more dangerous than accommodating it.
