Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

As North Carolinians are getting crushed by rising costs, the last thing they need is another Duke Energy rate hike. It’s just plain wrong.

Michael Whatley spent his career lobbying for big utility companies, including Duke Energy, as your rates climbed higher.

Signal acquired! 📡

Engineers at @NASAJPL have confirmed that the Orion spacecraft is communicating with the Deep Space Network. For the first time in over 50 years, we’re receiving a signal from a spacecraft carrying humans toward the Moon.

Our intelligence reports that Russia is preparing new massive attacks. We are speaking frankly to our partners—both about air-defense missiles and the systems we need so much. Supplies are insufficient. We are trying to speed things up, and it's crucial that our partners hear us.

I spoke with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte. Another very good conversation. Mark informed about today’s meeting in Washington with President Trump and about the details of cooperation between Europe and the U.S. to continue and strengthen support for Ukraine.

We appreciate the readiness to provide additional Patriots, and the U.S., Germany, and Norway are already working together on this. There will also be deliveries of other weapons to protect lives of our people and repel Russian assaults.

It’s important to increase pressure on Russia for the sake of peace and to save lives. Thank you, Mark!

@Andercot It was, in essence, a very expensive hot air balloon experience.

Before we used to test with chimps, now we use less intelligent test subjects.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, we had in-depth discussions with our diplomats about the weeks ahead — possible meetings here, in Europe, our work with the U.S., and our relations with other countries — with all countries which are strong enough to truly influence diplomacy.

In every part of the world, it must be equally clear that the cause of this war lies solely with Russia. The root of it sits there — in Moscow, in the Kremlin. That is why there is still no ceasefire — let alone anything more.

It is now 36 days since the United States proposed a full and unconditional halt to strikes — in the air, at sea, and on land. Ukraine accepted the proposal immediately — over a month ago. Russia continues to ignore it — and still feels no consequences. That is the key problem.

Do you support Zelensky?

Yes or No?

Currently, 38 people are receiving treatment in medical facilities in Sumy following yesterday’s Russian ballistic strike — among them, 9 children. 11 people, including 3 children, are in critical condition. Every effort is being made to provide them with maximum assistance. Yesterday’s strike alone claimed 34 lives and left 119 people injured. Tragically, 2 children were killed, and another 15 were wounded.

Another 7 people were injured overnight in Odesa during a “Shahed” drone attack. Last night, the Russians also struck Slovyansk, Uman, Kharkiv, Beryslav, and other cities and villages. All the damaged sites are civilian: apartment buildings, stores, a car service station.

I thank all the services and everyone involved in rescuing people and defending lives. Russian terror continues every day and night. Since the beginning of April alone, the Russian army has used nearly 2,800 aerial bombs, over 1,400 attack drones — most of them “Shaheds” — and nearly 60 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones.

Only real pressure on Russia can stop this. Tangible sanctions are needed against the sectors that finance Russia’s killing machine. The one who brought the war must be stopped and held accountable for what they have done; that is only fair.

I thank everyone around the world who understands this and supports our defense.
