Honored to welcome Boris Pistorius to Kyiv. Germany is now #1 globally in security aid to Ukraine, providing 1/3 of our total support. From Patriot missiles to $1B+ for Ukrainian drones, this aid is already delivering results: 90% drone interceptions & 5k mid-strikes per month.

Excited to launch "Brave Germany" with @BRAVE1ua — a joint platform for grants & R&D in AI, UAVs, and missiles. We are building a new European security architecture rooted in Ukrainian tech & combat experience.

Strong support from the EU 🇪🇺 The @Europarl_EN approved €90B in loans for Ukraine in 2026–2027.€60B will go directly to defense — strengthening our resilience and security. Thank you to the EU and Member States for unwavering solidarity 🇺🇦

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

For us today, the decision by EU leaders to provide an interest-free loan of €90 billion to Ukraine is an important victory.

Without these funds, it would be very difficult for us. In any case, this is tied to Russian reparations. And these are important steps. The fact that European leaders have found such a format, and that our team has worked together with Europe to reach a positive decision.

For us, this is a reinforcement. It is a signal to the Russians that there is no point for them to continue the war because we have financial support, and therefore, we will not collapse on the front line. We will support our army and our people. Our budget is supported by €45 billion in 2026, precisely from these funds. There are no positive outcomes in war, but today, this is an important positive signal for our society and a harsh signal regarding the enemy.

Ein ukrainischer Soldat sagt uns: „Heute kann diese Drohne einfach Aufklärungsinformationen von einer Basis sammeln. Und morgen kann diese Drohne ohne Hoheitszeichen Sprengstoff auf eines der Munitionslager abwerfen.“ Unsere Reportage aus Kamjanez-Podilskyj für die @tagesthemen.

The problem with North Stream 2 is not that it was blown up. The problem is that it was built.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He went to the UN to tell them about his poll numbers. Literally no other world leader speaks like this at the General Assembly. Not even the literal dictators.

Russia shoots down a commercial airliner full of European civilians over Ukraine, but Europe won’t shoot down Russian suicide drones over Europe.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s call for a no-fly zone has been on the table for more than three years.

If European air forces and air defenses stepped in to help shoot down Russian missiles and drones, at least over western Ukraine, it would:

- push the threat away from NATO’s eastern flank,
- ease the pressure on Ukraine’s air defense so it can focus more on central and eastern regions,
- and send Putin a clear signal: the West’s knees are not trembling. Cross the line, and you get a punch in the face.

Three years of waiting for the second coming have achieved nothing, so it's time to finally draw conclusions -- weakness and hesitation are nothing but an invitation for Putin to escalate further.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Putin ist ein Kriegsverbrecher. Er ist vielleicht der schwerste Kriegsverbrecher unserer Zeit, den wir im großen Maßstab sehen. Wir müssen uns darüber im Klaren sein, wie man mit Kriegsverbrechern umgeht: Da ist Nachgiebigkeit fehl am Platz.

[Tatarigami_UA @Tatarigami_UA]

So far, Ukraine’s stabilization measures around Pokrovsk look broadly promising. While many speculated that Kyiv might strike elsewhere, Ukrainian forces have instead pushed back Russian troops in an area where Moscow’s leadership had placed its biggest bet. 🧵Thread:

За сім місяців свого правління, трамп не зробив для України нікуя, взагалі нікуя.Допомогу він призупинив уже давно. Війну він не закінчив ні за 24 години, ні за три місяці, ні за півроку.Озброєння він не дав і санкції не запровадив.Трамп звичайне трепло, боягуз та імпотент.

[Der Gepardkommandant @gepardtatze]

Was benötigt man gegen Massen von Geran-2? Massen an Jagd-Drohnen, die genau für die Abwehr dieser Gefahr entwickelt wurden und auch noch günstig sind. Beispiel das junge 🇩🇪 Unternehmen TYTAN mit der Interceptordrone B. Diese Jagd-Drohne steuert sich mit 300 km/h selbst ins Ziel.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

Anduril had people/hardware in Ukraine two weeks into the invasion. Our autonomous weapons have destroyed hundreds of millions worth of Russia's war machine.

The United States should give them the tools they need to win. It is the fastest path to peace, one way or another.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Хочу виразити свою близькість до стражденної України, до дітей, молоді, літніх людей і, особливо, до сімей, які оплакують своїх близьких. Я поділяю ваш біль за полонених і жертв цієї безглуздої війни.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Ukraine is preparing to sign the agreement with the Council of Europe establishing the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.

This Tribunal is essential to restoring the international legal order and ensuring accountability for the crime of aggression.

The Special Tribunal will hold Russia’s political and military leadership accountable—including Putin and others at the highest levels of power.

The planning and execution of this war of choice against Ukraine cannot go unpunished. Justice for everyone involved, regardless of their position or title, is inevitable.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Wir werden alles tun, was in unseren Kräften steht, um die Ukraine weiter zu unterstützen. Das bedeutet auch keinerlei Reichweitenbeschränkungen mehr für Waffen, die wir liefern. Die Ukraine kann sich jetzt auch verteidigen, indem sie militärische Stellungen in Russland angreift.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I sincerely congratulate @_FriedrichMerz on his election as Germany’s new Federal Chancellor.

Ukraine is deeply grateful for the support of Germany and its people. Your helping hand has saved thousands and thousands of Ukrainian lives.

We sincerely hope that Germany will grow even stronger and that we’ll see more German leadership in European and transatlantic affairs. This is especially important with the future of Europe at stake — and it will depend on our unity.

Wishing you every success, Mr Chancellor, on the road ahead.
