Thank you, Japan. It’s important that our partners are here, in Ukraine, to support our people amid Russia’s savage escalation of drone and missile terror. Together, we can protect lives, and air defense is key to that.

🇺🇦🚀 Only 12 countries can produce ballistic missiles, and Ukraine is now among them, — WSJ

Ukrainian FP-7 missile makes it possible to destroy Russian bunkers, bridges, and other hardened targets that long-range drones are practically incapable of.

La Primera Ministra de Japón 🇯🇵 dijo en la ONU algo que debería incomodar a muchos:

🇷🇺 Rusia, miembro permanente del Consejo de Seguridad, agrede a otro Estado y puede vetar resoluciones sobre sus propios actos.

Y fue más lejos: el Consejo sigue reflejando el mundo de 1945 y la Carta aún conserva las obsoletas cláusulas de “Estados enemigos”.

Sanae Takaichi pidió reformar urgentemente el Consejo de Seguridad y eliminar esas cláusulas.

No declaró inútil a la ONU. Señaló algo más serio: si quiere seguir siendo relevante, tiene que reformarse. 🇺🇳

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Axios: Zelensky said U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner returned from their September meeting with Putin optimistic that Moscow was ready for progress.

He recalled that the two told him:
“We think that Putin is ready.”

Zelensky responded:
“Look, I’m not sure.”

The U.S. envoys replied:
“No, we are close.”

Interesting how France and Ukraine allegedly fed Trump false intelligence to test whether he would leak it to Putin—and it was.

❗️Russian airspace will effectively be closed. We warn every airline that uses Russian airspace: Russian skies are becoming completely unsafe, – Zelenskyy.

“It is important that the relevant airlines hear this — those currently flying to airports, first and foremost Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other key Russian destinations. There is no place for civil aviation among drones.”

🇺🇦✈️🇷🇺 Zelenski anuncia que Ucrania cerrará el espacio aéreo de Rusia y pide a las compañías de aviación civil que eviten sobrevolar territorio ruso para evitar posibles víctimas

[Tte.Dan 🪖 @kozako01]

‼️‼️ #Ucrania inicia una campaña para bloquear el espacio aéreo de Rusia, Zelenski

👉 Hoy queremos advertir a todas las compañías aéreas que utilizan el espacio aéreo ruso, a las aseguradoras y a quienes siguen utilizando los principales aeropuertos de la Federación Rusa: el cielo ruso se está volviendo totalmente inseguro , Zelenski

“Ucrania no supone una amenaza para la aviación civil ni para los aviones civiles; sin embargo, cada vez habrá más drones en el cielo de Rusia. De hecho, el cielo ruso se irá cerrando: la guerra desatada por Rusia lo está cerrando por sí misma.

No queremos que mueran personas inocentes, por lo que advertimos a nuestros socios: los momentos de seguridad en el cielo ruso han llegado a su fin. Es importante que esta información llegue a los embajadores, los gobiernos y las compañías aéreas que siguen volando a Moscú, San Petersburgo y otras ciudades clave de la Federación Rusa.
La aviación civil no tiene cabida entre los drones”

‼️La jugadora ucraniana de baloncesto 🏀 Kateryna Koval ha abandonado el equipo estadounidense de baloncesto LSU Tigers inmediatamente después de que contrataran a una rusa en el equipo. El padre de Kateryna sirve en las Fuerzas Armadas de #Ucrania 🇺🇦 Pocos escriben sobre esto, por lo que realmente queremos apoyarla, un ejemplo para todos los Zavarnys y Sidorchuks 🙏🏻

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зе��енський @ZelenskyyUa]

Japan is geographically distant from Ukraine, but we are very close in terms of our values, shared principles, and our common understanding of how important freedom and independence are. Thank you, Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae, for your congratulations on the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.

We are constantly working to strengthen the defense of both our peoples and our regions. Russia’s cooperation with North Korea is truly dangerous for everyone in Asia as well. In light of all this, we highly value your messages about the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia and increasing support for our country and our people. Thank you for speaking so warmly about the Ukrainian people and for always recognizing the courage of Ukrainians. Thank you, Japan!

🇺🇸🇺🇦 REMEMBER HIS NAME: GRADY KURPASI.

Grady Kurpasi was not Ukrainian. He didn't have to go to Ukraine. He had already given 20 years of his life to military service. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, he chose to go anyway.

Grady was born in Korea, adopted, and grew up in New York City. After the September 11 attacks, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 29. He became an infantry assaultman and later a Marine Scout Sniper, deploying to Iraq three times.

During two decades in the Marines, he earned numerous decorations, including the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and three Good Conduct Medals. He was selected for an enlisted-to-officer commissioning program, studied at UCLA, became an infantry officer and eventually reached the rank of Captain. He was also a Tillman Scholar.

After approximately 20 years of service, Captain Grady Kurpasi retired from the Marines in 2021. He had already done more than enough. He had a wife, a daughter, a home, and had survived three deployments to Iraq.

Then Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In early 2022, Grady went to Ukraine. His original intention was to help evacuate civilians and train Ukrainian soldiers. But Ukraine desperately needed experienced combat leaders, and Grady eventually joined the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine.

On April 26, 2022, while operating on the southern front, Grady went out with British volunteer Andrew Hill to investigate the source of enemy fire. They reported over the radio that they were under attack. Hill was captured by Russian forces.

Grady disappeared.

For his wife, daughter, friends and fellow Marines, there was no grave and no definitive answer. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. Months became a year. There remained hope that he might have been wounded or captured.

In April 2023, the United States officially confirmed his death. Then another mission began: bring Grady home.

Searchers entered the former frontline after Ukrainian forces liberated the territory. Human remains were eventually discovered near Oleksandrivka, between Mykolaiv and Kherson. Nearby were military items associated with Grady, including his helmet, body armor, boots and backpack.

DNA testing provided the final answer.

It was Grady.

On May 19, 2023, more than a year after he disappeared, his remains arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York before being returned to his family.

Grady Kurpasi was 50 years old. He left behind his wife and daughter.

Think about his story: Korean-born American. Adopted child who grew up in New York. Marine after 9/11. Three combat deployments to Iraq. Scout Sniper. Purple Heart recipient. UCLA graduate. Marine officer. Captain. Husband. Father.

After twenty years in uniform, he could have simply lived his life.

Instead, when another free nation was attacked, he crossed an ocean to help people he had never met. He went to help civilians and train Ukrainians. When Ukraine needed experienced fighters and leaders, he stood beside them.

Ultimately, he gave Ukraine everything a human being can give.

His life.

Grady Kurpasi wasn't Ukrainian by birth. But Ukraine will forever remember the American Marine who chose to stand with us when our country needed friends the most.

🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Honor, glory and eternal gratitude to Captain Grady Kurpasi.

Semper Fidelis, Marine. Rest in peace, brother.

Ukraine remembers you. America should remember you too.

🕯️ April 26, 2022 🇺🇸🇺🇦
