BREAKING: 7 million people took part in NO KINGS protests across 2,700+ U.S. cities TODAY.

The tides are turning.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Yesterday, important talks took place in Washington with the President of the United States and European leaders. This was truly a significant step toward ending the war and ensuring the security of Ukraine and our people. We are already working on the concrete content of the security guarantees. Today, we continue coordination at the level of leaders. There will be discussions, and we are preparing the relevant formats. We will also continue working tomorrow. National security advisors are also in constant contact now. There will be security guarantees.

I thank all our partners for their determination and support. Ukraine feels this strength. And we will do everything to make the path to peace a reality – through partnership, through security guarantees, and through the courage of the Ukrainian people.

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

DNC Chair @KenMartin73's statement on Trump's unilateral act of war with Iran.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Pope Leo XIV. It was our first conversation, but already a very warm and truly substantive one.

I thanked His Holiness for his support of Ukraine and all our people. We deeply value his words about the need to achieve a just and lasting peace for our country and the release of prisoners.

We also discussed the thousands of Ukrainian children deported by Russia. Ukraine counts on the Vatican’s assistance in bringing them home to their families.

I informed the Pope about the agreement between Ukraine and our partners that, starting today, a full and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days must begin. I also reaffirmed Ukraine’s readiness for further negotiations in any format, including direct talks — a position we have repeatedly emphasised. Ukraine wants to end this war and is doing everything to achieve that. We now await similar steps from Russia.

I invited His Holiness to make an apostolic visit to Ukraine. Such a visit would bring real hope to all believers and to all our people.

We agreed to stay in contact and plan in-person meeting in the near future.

BREAKING: Sen. SCHIFF, Rep. RASKIN announce spotlight hearing on the Trump Administration’s attacks on the rule of law and the lawyers who seek to uphold it.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is another day when Ukraine brings its people back. 175 of our defenders have been released from Russian captivity. Another 22 defenders are returning home through measures beyond exchanges. Among them are severely wounded warriors and those whom Russia persecuted for fabricated crimes. All of them will immediately receive the necessary medical and psychological assistance.

This is one of the largest POW exchanges. Returning home are our soldiers, sergeants, and officers – warriors who fought for our freedom in the ranks of the Armed Forces, Navy, National Guard, Territorial Defense Forces, and Border Guard Service. They defended Ukraine across various fronts – in Mariupol, at Azovstal, in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, as well as Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kursk regions.

I thank our team for their important work in finding Ukrainian prisoners of war and facilitating exchanges, as well as for the results that bring hope. We are also grateful to all our partners, especially the United Arab Emirates, for making today’s exchange possible.

Ukraine remembers every one of our heroes, and we will bring all our people home.

Equality shouldn’t be a fight we have to keep having. Yet, across the globe, where governments have failed us, we're rising up, demanding equality, and refusing to be held back any longer. This #InternationalWomensDay and every other day, women’s rights are human rights. Everywhere.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.

We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The basic scenario is to maintain positions and create conditions for proper diplomacy to achieve the swiftest possible end to this war with a just peace. We need peace, true and honest peace – not endless war. And security guarantees are essential.

The absence of security guarantees for Ukraine 11 years ago allowed Russia to start with the occupation of Crimea and the war in Donbas. Later, the absence of security guarantees allows Russia to launch a full-scale invasion, and now, due to the lack of clear security guarantees, Russia continues to fuel this war. The world sees this, and the world acknowledges it.

Today, we continued our work with European partners on a special diplomatic and security architecture that can bring us closer to peace.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Trump and Vance threw Zelenskyy under the bus because people are angry about Musk’s crazy cutting spree, and Trump kissing Putin’s ass. Tossed the base some red meat (I’m looking at you, Lindsey Graham). Old pro wrestling trick. Fire up the crowd.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

President Zelensky is more of a man than Trump and Vance will ever be.

That’s why they hate him so much.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The summit in London was dedicated to Ukraine and our shared European future.

We feel strong support for Ukraine, for our people – both soldiers and civilians, and our independence. Together, we are working in Europe to establish a solid foundation for cooperation with the United States in pursuit of true peace and guaranteed security.

Europe’s unity is at an exceptionally high level, one that has not been seen in a long time.

We are discussing with our partners security guarantees and the conditions for a just peace for Ukraine. A series of important meetings and decisions are being prepared for the near future.

I am grateful to all our friends and partners for their efforts in bringing about a stable and guaranteed peace in Ukraine. Joint strength can protect our future.

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.

Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.

Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.

Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.

Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.
