Це портрет херсонського фермера Олександра Гордієнка, який загинув від ворожого дрону у вересні минулого року.
Я зробив цю фотографію, коли їздив до Олександра у Бериславський район, щоб зробити репортаж про те, якою ціною наші люди вирощують хліб.
It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.

June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. It honours kids affected by war and violence. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, at least 707 Ukrainian children have been killed. Behind every number is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
I want to thank all the partners who are helping us receive Patriot interceptors through PURL. By doing so, you are saving lives in Ukraine.
But the current volume and pace of deliveries are not enough. We need more Patriot interceptors, and we need them delivered faster.
That's why the key thing we need to do together is ensure continued support for our air defense so that Ukraine can defend itself against both cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
There are enough missiles in the world to provide that protection. What is needed is a political will to make sure Ukraine receives them.
I recently sent a special letter to the President of the United States and to members of Congress on this issue, and I ask for your support in helping ensure a positive response.
From an address to the participants of the NATO–Ukraine Council meeting in Kyiv (4/5).
You can all see that Ukraine’s positions on the frontline are strong and that we are gradually taking back occupied territory. In May, Russia achieved almost no meaningful results on the battlefield. And that matters.
Please also pay attention to Russia's losses. They're losing 30,000 to 35,000 troops every month. And the nature of those losses changed in the past year: around 63% killed and another 37% seriously wounded. These are massive irreversible losses.
Even for Russia, this is becoming a serious problem, because the overall size of its occupation forces is shrinking.
From an address to the participants of the NATO–Ukraine Council meeting in Kyiv (2/5).
Today, representatives of all Allied countries were present here in Ukraine at the NATO–Ukraine Council – after Russia tried to squeeze our partners out of the country and intimidate embassies.
The result was a highly symbolic meeting in Kyiv. Its main message is clear: Ukraine should be supported more. Especially in areas such as anti-ballistic capabilities.
Our partners have decided on new contributions to the PURL initiative – they are coming in June. We are also doing everything possible to accelerate Europe’s work on its own anti-ballistic capabilities.
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.
We have intel indicating that Russia is preparing a new massive attack. Please pay attention to air raid alerts and stay safe.
Air defense and the continued need to help Ukraine protect its skies are our key priorities. I am grateful to every partner, every leader, and every country that is ready to help and that implements our arrangements in full.
The PURL initiative must work. This concerns both the United States and Europe. We are pooling funds from our European partners and other friends to purchase missiles, including for Patriot systems. Sufficient supplies depend on America, and we hope that Ukraine will be heard.
Russia is now threatening other nearby countries far more openly than before. Every neighbor of Russia heard what was said about Armenia, whose people are the only ones who have the right to decide and will choose the future of their country. What Russia says about Armenia is, in truth, not about Armenia alone.
No one can be left without support – Europe has no right to lose any of its peoples, to leave any country behind. Armenia must be supported. Moldova must be supported. The Baltic states. Azerbaijan must be supported. We must find ways to support the people of Georgia as well – and this is a shared European task. No one can be lost.
Не можу з цього в той час коли дядьки 55 +з тиском спиною воюють на нулі, мій чоловік з поганим зором воював,молоді уйобища, Шабунін, Стерненко хворі по зору, Залужний тудиж і не можуть виконувати жодних функцій в збройних силах
Яка може бути довіра в суспільство до цих блазнів
@holodovska Мені часом здається, що вони насправді йобу дають вже в Європі. Бо їдуть усі з очікуванням, що все будет як вдома, тіки краще. А насправді все краще саме тому, що не "як вдома". У африканців, до речі, такого нема, вони вже їдуть інтегруватись, тільки більшість - у кримінал.
Our long-range capabilities are significantly changing the situation – and, more broadly, the world’s perception of Russia’s war. Many partners are now signaling that they see what is happening and how everything has changed – both in attitudes toward this war and in the reachability of Russian targets on Russian territory.
The war is quite predictably returning to its “native harbor,” and this is a clear signal that one should not pick a fight with Ukraine or wage an unjust war of conquest against another people.
