A family is saying goodbye to their father, who was killed by russians.
When I watch this video, I feel an overwhelming sense of pain and injustice. And a deep call for justice. Russia must pay.
The pain russians have inflicted on Ukrainians will be felt for generations. The evil they have unleashed will never be forgotten.
The lives they have taken cannot be returned. The families they have destroyed cannot simply be made whole again.
But the crimes they have committed must not go unpunished.
There must be justice.
Russia is afraid of Ukrainian books. It has good reason to be.
Every one of them carries what Moscow has spent centuries trying to erase: our language, memory, history, and the simple fact that Ukraine is Ukraine.
Once, the Russian empire banned Ukrainian books. Today, Russian drones burn warehouses filled with them. Different weapons, same obsession.
And the same failure.
Ukrainian books will be printed and read. Ukrainian culture will travel further. Ukraine will remain Ukraine.
Our task with partners is also clear: protect what Russia seeks to destroy and reduce its ability to destroy it. Ukraine needs more air defence, while Russia’s war machine needs fewer resources and fewer opportunities to produce weapons.
The 15th air raid has started in #Kyiv. This marks the end of 24 hours of which 54% (over 13 hours) were under #russia attack. Fires, explosions in all areas of the city. Two sleepless nights in a row.
Friends, these are especially difficult times for Ukrainian businesses.
Today, for example, several Ukrainian publishers and bookstore chains announced that their warehouses had been destroyed by missile strikes from fascist Russia. Unfortunately, among them was my favorite bookstore-cafe in Kyiv, ReadEat.
The guys there asked readers on social media today to support them and help their business survive this. So I made a point of coming to their store on Antonovycha Street today, and despite everything, they are still here: a place where you can buy a wonderful Ukrainian book or a vinyl record, and enjoy coffee and desserts in a cozy atmosphere to the sound of a piano.
So if you’re in Ukraine, I encourage you to support any Ukrainian bookstore or publisher you can, and help this wonderful culture of bookstore cafes survive, we are so proud of in Kyiv and across our country.
This is what Kindrashivka in Kharkiv region looks like right now. Russians leveled the settlement erasing all life. Look carefully and you will see what "russian world" truly is.
I count at least 14 air raid sirens in Kyiv over the past 24 hours. russia's new tactic is to exhaust the capital, sending 1–2 drones our way, one wave after another.
We will adapt. We always do. And we will keep moving forward.
Kyiv has gone through 12 air raid alerts today amid nonstop attacks. The most intense day I can remember. Trains and public transport severely disrupted. Combined with strikes on food warehouses, it looks like a new Russian strategy to suffocate Kyiv
Richard Gere: We're living in the darkest moment that I've experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this?
Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president of the United States and dismantle all the good things?
America has never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal that it's moving towards and always has, and it's been self-corrective.
First day, this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and the US people.
How is this even possible? Because we went to sleep. We didn't care. We didn't vote. We didn't really listen.
You know, of course, I didn't vote for this guy, but I didn't do enough work to skillfully convince people around me.
People close to me, not close to me, that this was insane to elect this person as president of the United States.
We all have to take responsibility for this. But how quickly, this was in weeks, he had dismantled America.
And you see how quickly our world can be taken from us if we fall asleep. And so we have to see the cues.
We have to see the cues, this dictatorship of the monsters. How quickly it happens. We have to be vigilant.
We can't sit back and go, "Ah, life is good, I'm fine. You know, I've got food, I've got money, blah blah, I've got my house, I've got another car, I'm thinking about this, blah blah, I'm okay. I know he's a bad guy, but it's okay."
It's not okay! It's never okay.
Jag kom till Kiev i morse.
Ukraina firar i morgon landets 35:e självständighetsdag.
Kriget i Ukraina har pågått i över fyra och ett halvt år. Spåren av kriget syns i människornas vardag.
Finland står vid Ukrainas sida i dag, i morgon och i framtiden.
I’m traveling so maybe I missed it. Has anyone from the Trump administration condemned the “double tap” terrorist attack by Putin in Zelenskyy’s home town?
This is what the shopping center in Kryvyi Rih looks like after the Russian attack.
16 dead and over 100 injured.
51 injured people are still being treated in the hospital. 14 of them are children.
A world without Russia would be a much better world.
This is horrifying. Fourteen people were murdered and 121 injured, including 22 children as russia attacked the largest mall in Kryvyi Rih on Friday afternoon. 29 people are in severe condition.
Russia’s attack against a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih shows the absolute and utter depravity of Moscow’s war.
This is terror by design. Russia wants to make Ukrainian cities unliveable.
I am putting forward the most far-reaching Russia sanctions listings since the start of the war. The pressure must be intensified until Moscow ends the war.
EU Foreign and Defence Ministers will discuss how to expand our support for Ukraine, including air and missile defence, when they meet in less than two weeks in Dublin.
ZELENSKYY: Today, Russians struck shopping center in Kryvyi Rih with drones. A purposeful, mean attack.
As of now, 14 people confirmed killed. Absolute barbarity by Russians. Absolute animals. We will definitely answer.
More than 100 people were injured, including 11 children. My condolences to the families and loved ones.
It's important that the world does not remain silent about all this. There must be an end to this Russian war.
The world must help us with this, help us protect life. Thank you to all those who are with Ukraine.
The Natalie Harp story actually isn’t about Natalie. It’s about priorities. Natalie. The Ballroom. The reflecting pool. Qatari Jets. It isn’t about mocking whatever is going on between Natalie and Trump. Although it’s obviously odd indeed. It’s that the American people are suffering while Trump has Natalie always by his side throwing golf tournaments for himself where he is always the winner, hiding in catering containers from the country he got us into a war with, and pretending he is personally installing black marble into the White House floors, or whatever odd thing he is doing each day. The American people know Trump doesn’t care about them. Natalie, and all his side quests, are about exalting the ego-stroking of a deeply disturbed malignant narcissist while fully ignoring role of the Presidency and the meaning of public service.
