I was very critical to President Zelensky all these years. Maybe I will be very critical once again. Now I need to say: he is doing great job, I am totally impressed by his actions and hope he will be able to win this war. Thank you, Mr. President. Слава Україні!
We did it. Cyprus confirmed it will not block the decision to ban Russia from SWIFT. Ukrainian diplomacy keeps working 24/7 to achieve important decisions and protect Ukraine from Russian invaders.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine has given us a moment of moral clarity. We can no longer afford to indulge the illusions we spun for our own consumption during the Long Peace.

⚡️This night, Russia launched an all-our offensive all over Ukraine, with artillery rounds on our cities, with tanks, troops and rockets. Ukraine didn’t lose a single city this night, with now a total of over 3,000 Russians dead.
Ukrainian soldiers are heroes! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Zelensky posts a video showing him and his top allies in the Kyiv government district.
“We’re defending our independence and our country, and that’s how it’ll be.”
Call with my Indian counterpart @DrSJaishankar. Asked India to use all influence in its relations with Russia to force it to cease military aggression against Ukraine. Urged India as a non-permanent UNSC member to support today’s draft resolution on restoring peace in Ukraine.
To some European leaders who are still hesitant: each year at commemorative events you say ‘Never again’. The time to prove it is now. Russia is waging a horrific war of aggression in Europe. Here is your ‘never again’ test: BAN RUSSIA FROM SWIFT and kick it out of everywhere.
Please follow us at @KyivIndependent, most of us are on the ground in #Kyiv working to provide you with the latest news. It’s extremely stressful. No one knows where it is safe to be, or whether there will be more strikes and where, and Russian troops are moving from the north.
So something interesting that could be developing at the UN: Ukraine appears to be laying the groundwork to challenge whether the Russian Federation is the legitimate successor to the USSR’s seat and veto on the Security Council
See the moment Ukraine's U.N. ambassador learned that Russia had invaded his country — and immediately called into question whether Putin's nation should be allowed to remain in an entity meant for "peace-loving states." https://t.co/yn2tc4WLsT
Zelensky speaks to the nation. He says he's declared martial law and urges Ukrainians to stay home.
“We are working. The army is working," he says. "Don't panic. We are strong. We are ready for everything. We will defeat everyone. Because we are Ukraine.”
