Efforts to deal with the aftermath of Russia’s attack on our regions have been underway since last night. It was a combined strike – drones and ballistic missiles. The Russians struck critical infrastructure in the Poltava, Sumy, and Kherson regions. In the Kharkiv region, they struck residential buildings. In Kramatorsk, a guided aerial bomb hit a high-rise building. Four people were rescued by the State Emergency Service units. Three people were injured in Zaporizhzhia, and two in Kryvyi Rih. An apartment building was struck in Odesa. In Chubynske, Kyiv region, all the necessary emergency services are involved in putting out fires at enterprises following the drone strikes.

Russia continues to invest in missiles and in expanding its war, and that means more countermeasures are needed. This week, our European allies made important decisions to strengthen Ukrainian air defense. It is important that these are also supplemented by additional ballistic missile defense packages, first and foremost through PURL. Everything that strengthens the protection of our skies effectively saves the lives of Ukrainians every day. To bring down Russia’s desire to keep fighting, we need to effectively bring down the missiles Moscow clings to so much to keep the war going. I am grateful to everyone who understands this and helps.

Five years ago, an Islamic terrorist carried out a suicide bombing at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Thirteen brave Americans paid the ultimate price for our country.

We will forever honor their memory and keep their families in our prayers.

French support for Ukraine has been historic on many occasions and in many ways: air defense, combat aircraft, joint production, co-chairing the Coalition of the Willing, and much more. @EmmanuelMacron, I appreciate our personal friendship, and the people of Ukraine appreciate everything the French have done to help us withstand Russia’s asinine war. It is important that everything we have agreed in recent days and weeks now becomes reality.

This is what russia call a ‘Military Target’
This is what we are tolerating & complicit in
Shame on us 🖤

They were children. russia killed them.

On August 21, a russian attack on Tokarivka, Mykolaiv region, killed three boys.

Brothers Amir and Radmir Matak were 13 and 11.
Their friend Oleksandr Miroshnichenko was 11.

They should have had decades ahead of them — school, friends, dreams, first love, their own families.

Instead, three children were killed by russia.

Three lives stolen.
Three families shattered.

russia is a murderous state — nothing else.

A child on a bicycle. A Russian drone. Death.

How many more dead civilians will it take for Europe to move from mere concern to concrete action? Russia killed a boy on a bicycle near Kramatorsk with a drone—just for the sake of it.

The world is tired of hearing: "We condemn this," "We stand with Ukraine"....

Our response must not be lethargy and fear. Europe must act: strengthen Ukraine, exert maximum pressure on Russia, and consistently prosecute war crimes.
Looking away is not a strategy.
