Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after me...

[D.Radka, #NAFO 🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦 @DakdaR22]

-Radoslaw Sikorski
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland:

"I suspect Trump thought that if there were no further supplemental package, Ukraine would find itself in difficulty much faster, and the war might therefore be brought to an end because Ukraine would be forced into concessions.

I think they will eventually find that, with European support, Ukraine is not falling, and that the war cannot be ended without Ukrainian agreement and without European agreement as well, because, to use a Trumpian term, US cards are not as strong as they were."

Behind every case is a person locked behind doors, starved of safety, broken by fear, and still trying to return to life. 10X

Sofia barely spoke when a Ukrainian investigator first met her. One word, then silence. Then they stepped outside for a smoking break and both burst into tears. 9/

Ukrainian police have recorded 226 wartime victims of sexual violence since 2022. The real number is likely far higher. Millions of Ukrainians remain under occupation or in captivity. 8/

She escaped only in September 2023, after Russian authorities detained him for desertion. Alone in the flat, Sofia found his phone and called the only number she remembered by heart: her older sister in Poland. 7/

In January 2023, Sofia tried to take her own life. Doctors pumped her stomach. When she told people what was happening, he said: “She’s from Ukraine. She’s disturbed. Why are you listening to her?” 6/

In June 2022, Sofia was abducted and taken across the border to Belgorod, Russia. She did not know her village had already been liberated. He told her he would return and kill her family if she tried to escape. 5/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

When Sofia’s mother appealed to the Russian commander, he dismissed it.
“The young will be young.”
That sentence is the sound of occupation: a woman begging for help, and a commander protecting the rapist. 4/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

One day he came armed, with two other soldiers.
“Do you want your family to be dead?”
Then he took her to a nearby building and raped her, according to investigators. It happened again and again. 3/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

She was 21. She lived with her disabled mother and two younger brothers in a village in Kharkiv region. When Russian troops occupied it, one soldier began harassing her. She refused. 2/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

A Russian soldier kept Sofia, Ukrainian, for over a year as a sex prisoner — holding her in a flat with bars on the balcony, boarded-up windows, locked doors, and padlocks.

He took her phone, left food, and returned there only to rape her — The Times. 1/

@ZelenskyyUa @bundeskanzler Lots of respect to France and Ukraine.
Let's stop this war.
Russia go home.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Хороша зустріч із Федеральним канцлером Німеччини Фрідріхом Мерцом в Евіані. Говорили про оборонну підтримку України, передусім про подальше посилення нашої ППО, ситуацію на фронті та результати українських далекобійних санкцій. Окремо обговорили шляхи реалізації домовленостей сьогоднішньої зустрічі у форматі G7 – Україна. Важливо, щоб результативність України на полі бою та в далекобійності доповнювалась ефективним глобальним тиском на Росію.

Дякую за підтримку України та німецьке лідерство у захисті життів наших людей від масованих російських атак. Вдячний за підтримку нашого шляху до Євросоюзу. Це важливо для українського народу.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A good meeting with Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler in Évian. We discussed defense support for Ukraine, above all the further strengthening of our air defense, the situation on the frontline, and the results of Ukraine’s long-range sanctions. We also separately discussed ways to implement the agreements reached at today’s G7–Ukraine meeting. It is important that Ukraine’s effectiveness on the battlefield and in its long-range capabilities be complemented by effective global pressure on Russia.

Thank you for supporting Ukraine and for Germany’s leadership in protecting the lives of our people from massive Russian attacks. I am grateful for your support for our path toward the European Union. This is important for the Ukrainian people.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

First multilateral meeting today – the G7–Ukraine format at the G7 Summit. I thank @EmmanuelMacron, @MarkJCarney, @bundeskanzler, @GiorgiaMeloni, @takaichi_sanae, @Keir_Starmer, @POTUS, @eucopresident, @vonderleyen, for participating and for the strong ideas on how to force Russia into peace.

Priorities are clear: more air defense missiles along with licenses to produce them, winter support package, and cranking up pressure on Russia. Importantly, the U.S. is ready to provide backstop across these lines of effort.

It is key that everything discussed be implemented. Russia must come to learn that its war will never be normalized. I thank everyone who’s helping.

@anders_aslund Trump is not being courted.
Zalensky is playing Trump like a violin.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

I can't understand why President Zelensky bothers to meet with Trump.
Trump has all along made clear that he supports Russia & opposes Ukraine. He should be boycotted, not courted.
