Today, the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability.
First, the world should not be afraid. We know what protects us. Our unity.
Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any Russian forces, and it doesn't matter who commands them. We will protect. The security of Europe's eastern flank depends only on our defense.
Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian guns, Ukrainian tanks, Ukrainian missiles are all that protect Europe from such marches as we see today on Russian territory. And when we ask to give us the F-16 fighters or the ATACMS, we're enhancing our common defense. Real defense.
Second, everything must be real. It's time for everyone in the world to frankly say that all of Russia's criminal actions against Ukraine were and are unprovoked. And we all have to focus exclusively on our common security priorities. NATO is not just a word or a set of formal promises. These are reliable guarantees for everyone that peace won't be destroyed. Without Ukraine, such guarantees are worthless. Already in July at the summit in Vilnius, it is a historic chance for real decisions without looking back at Russia. Any nation that borders Russia supports this.
What will we, Ukrainians, do?
We will defend our country. We will defend our freedom. We will not be silent and we will not be inactive. We know how to win – and it will happen. Our victory in this war.
And what will you, Russians, do?
The longer your troops stay on Ukrainian land, the more devastation they will bring to Russia. The longer this person is in the Kremlin, the more disasters there will be.
#HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, friends across #China: as criminal #CCP regime continues its 20th Party Congress, here's my message which I wrote earlier today, in my own hand, following the brutal attack in Manchester and ahead of the launch of my new book, #TheChinaNexus:
Beijing is actively trying to hire many more serving and former military pilots and other specialists from across the RAF, the @RoyalNavy and the @BritishArmy as well as personnel from other western nations, the western official said.

The police confirmed that the Hong Kong protestor was dragged inside the consulate area and assaulted; Instead, spokesman from Beijing claimed that he 'illegally entered' the consulate.
This is lying, victim blaming, and disgusting—true nature of CCP. We cannot tolerate it.
London taxi drivers have lined up outside Buckingham Palace to pay their respects to The Queen, one said 'she's the only constant we've all had in our lives' https://t.co/tWZJsfugBt
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
Today, Democrats took a monumental step toward fully honoring the sacrifice of our heroes in uniform. Thanks to @RepMarkTakano, @SenatorTester, veterans and veterans’ champions, the Honoring our PACT Act has overcome Republican obstruction and will soon be the law of the land.
It is my great and humble privilege to accept on behalf of the Congress the Order of Propitious Clouds with Special Grand Cordon: a symbol of America’s strong and enduring friendship with Taiwan.
Join me & President @iingwen for this special presentation. https://t.co/1etOJHuIT5
THREAD - this is astonishing by @drewpavlou and part of a growing trend where #China stifles debate in countries around the world. The @metpoliceuk need to be better educated to stop activists in the UK being falsely targeted for speaking out on #Uyghur#Xinjiang#HongKong
Those who still claim that the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t seek to interfere in liberal democracies should follow this latest @DrewPavlou saga closely. 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 🇦🇺
Pleased to be helping @DrewPavlou with this. If the dodgy email is found to have come from @ChineseEmbinUK as I suspect, amounting to the offence of perverting the course of justice, then the Chinese Ambassdor to the United Kingdom should be expelled
This is totally, utterly, completely ridiculous & outrageous
My friend @DrewPavlou is completely non-violent, & utterly committed democracy, human rights & the rule of law
He was peacefully protesting against the #CCP's #UyghurGenocide
There's no reason to involve @metpoliceuk
I currently face 7 years in prison because the Chinese Embassy forwarded UK Police a fake email from ''[email protected]'' saying ''This is Drew Pavlou you have until 12 PM to stop the Uyghur Genocide or I blow up the embassy with a bomb regards Drew.'' THIS IS INSANE
The Chinese Embassy in London reported me as a terrorist for peacefully protesting outside, UK police arrested me and held me incommunicado so no one knew where I was, I was inside for 23 hours, I want to go home I miss my family but they’ve threatened to arrest me at the border
