Didn’t realize how much this was needed this week. President Barack Obama and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, leadership with heart and intention.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Today in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrenders the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox effectively ending the U.S. Civil War. Grant orders his jubilant men not to cheer. "[They] were now our countrymen," he recalls. "We did not want to exult over their downfall."

Пам’ять – це не порушення.

Зустрівся з українським скелетоністом, членом національної олімпійської збірної команди України Владиславом Гераскевичем і його батьком, тренером збірної України зі скелетону Михайлом Гераскевичем. Вручив Владиславу орден Свободи.

В України будуть і чемпіони, і олімпійці. Та головне, що є в України, – українці. Ті, для кого важлива правда та памʼять про спортсменів і спортсменок, яких убила Росія і які більше ніколи не зможуть взяти участь у спортивних змаганнях через російську агресію.

Дякую за вашу позицію, силу та сміливість. Слава Україні!

Thank you Rep. Huffman for laying it plain.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russia is trying to destroy our power plants and our entire energy system. It’s trying to kill our light. And Ukraine, together with our friends, is fighting against the darkness.

This is a battle where everything is clear. There are no gray zones here. And there are also deep Christian meanings in this – in how we defend ourselves, in how we get assisted, in how our people help each other in any circumstances. In how repair crews work day and night, under shellings, in minus 20 degrees, to make sure enemy strikes do not destroy life and that light returns.

We fight every day so that darkness loses. So it’s important for us to have enough air defense for safe sky. It is important for us to support our people and recover after strikes. It is important for us to achieve a dignified peace and reliable security guarantees.

And I thank you for every action and every prayer that helps make this possible.

I addressed the 20th American-Ukrainian Prayer Breakfast.
