Ukraine believes that every democratic nation in Europe deserves to be a full member of the EU. And we are working as actively as possible to achieve this.
Please, do not forget that Ukraine merits it because it has paid more than any other European country for its right to be free, independent, and European. This right is not only for Ukraine. It is also the right of other nations to be independent from Russia.
The future of Europe – free, united and in peace – is being decided in our defense. That shows how unique our situation is. I’m grateful to everyone who recognizes this and who takes the necessary steps to show that Europe truly values and supports it.
The most important such step could be a fast-track path for Ukraine to join the EU.

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA - El congresista republicano Randy Fine humilla a JD Vance:
“El Estado de Israel no fue creado por EE.UU., ni es financiado por él. Fue creado con sangre, sudor y lágrimas del pueblo judío que surgió del Holocausto. Vance haría bien en ir a estudiar la historia.”
Macron's stunning revelation: Trump once believed Ukraine would lose the war
According to French President Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump initially saw Ukraine's defeat as almost inevitable. That is why Washington pushed so hard for a rapid "peace deal" — effectively on terms favorable to the Kremlin.
In an interview with France TV, Macron recalled the infamous Oval Office clash and Trump's meeting with Putin in Anchorage, after which proposals reportedly emerged that would have handed the Donbas over to Russia.
But later, Macron says, Trump realized he had been misled. Ukraine did not collapse, and the Kremlin is seeking not peace, but Kyiv's capitulation.
"He saw courageous and inventive people whom he respects," Macron said of the Ukrainians.
‼️🇺🇦🇧🇾 Big news - Zelenskyy issues an ultimatum to Lukashenko and threatens to attack Belarus.
"I wasn't offended by Lukashenko's words, but along the Ukrainian border, equipment is deployed that adjusts fire on the population of Ukraine. I am giving him one week to withdraw it; otherwise, we will do it ourselves," Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated.

Tuto válku nechceme, nikdy jsme ji nechtěli a všichni to vědí. Rozhodně nechceme, aby Ukrajina hořela kvůli nepříteli. Pokud však Ukrajina hoří, bude hořet i vaše Moskva.

As an Iranian, I’m telling Americans directly:
Iranians in Iran are still very much pro-America — and particularly pro the Republican Party, conservative ideals, and admire the Constitution of the United States. But JD Vance has betrayed all of this.
The recent posts from Iranians expressing anger over this Iran deal are not anti-American. The criticism is aimed at specific actions and specific figures, not at the United States itself.
Trump didn’t have to engage at all. But he chose to, made promises, and now this path is clearly benefiting the Islamic Republic and the IRGC far more than the Iranian people who have been bleeding for decades. This outcome is worse than if he had done nothing.
The 40,000+ Iranians who gave their lives did not die so the IRGC could sit at the negotiating table and walk away with concessions from the United States. And the nuclear program? Still unsolved. Still a loaded gun that can be used against the world later.
Iranians respected the firm, principled approaches of Marco Rubio and Scott Bessent. But figures like JD Vance have moved Trump into a very weak and deeply unpopular position.
There is still hope that President Trump can come back to strength. But JD Vance and everyone pushing this direction have betrayed the American people, betrayed the ideals we both believe in, and betrayed the historic chance to finally rid the world of the Islamic Republic.
We see who is standing with the Iranian people — and who is not. Really JD Vance? "Give them a chance". Islamic Republic has had 47 years of chance and numerous deals with the west, none have beem adhered to and the Islamic terror has been amplified and globalized.
King Reza Pahlavi's leadership through a transion out of Islamic Republic is still the only viable path.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV: DEEP STRIKES ARE STRENGTHENING UKRAINE’S POSITION
“Our deep strikes are taking place daily. We are hitting Russian infrastructure every day, and we cannot afford to stop while the war continues.
In absolute terms, Russia’s losses are colossal.
We will hear many new things from them at the next negotiations. In any case, this significantly strengthens our position.” - Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦
Every successful strike raises the cost of Russia’s invasion while giving Ukraine greater leverage at the negotiating table.
🇷🇺 According to Russian media and local publications, a “semi-covert” mobilization has already begun in Russia:
▪️ Men are being detained directly on the streets, pulled out of cars, and forced to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense.
📍 In several regions, the detention of men on the streets has begun.
📍 According to Russian news channels, people are being pulled out of cars and taken to military commissariats, where they are forced to sign contracts with the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Defense.
📍 According to reports, local authorities have received a plan to recruit several thousand new servicemen.
📍 It is reported that similar raids are taking place simultaneously and on a large scale in several cities across the country.
These reports indicate a significant escalation in coercive recruitment methods as Russia struggles to compensate for massive losses on the front and the increasing pressure from Ukrainian long-range strikes. The “semi-covert” nature allows the Kremlin to avoid an official full mobilization while still attempting to bolster its forces.
In the past 48 hours, Hezbollah terrorists:
- Killed 5 Israelis and injured 12.
- Fired 63 rockets.
- Fired 7 suicide drones.
And much more. Where is the world's outrage?
Israel is not a client state. It is a sovereign, independent, and powerful nation.
Its strength has never depended on any foreign leader, it comes from its own people.
While the partnership with the United States has been valuable, Israel has never been a burden. It has delivered massive contributions to American technology, medicine, cybersecurity, and defense, far beyond what most Americans realize.
At a moment when America is facing deep internal and external challenges, turning against one of its most capable and loyal allies is not just shortsighted, it is self-destructive.
Those who believe they are weakening Israel by attacking it are actually weakening America’s own interests.
Oh boy, things are escalating quickly.
Vance: “My message to people in Bibi's government who are attacking Trump: Do not attack the only leader in the world who supports you. Your country was built with our money.”
No, Mr. Vice President, our country wasn’t built with your money and as a Christian, you should know exactly who gave us this country.
We appreciate your friendship and support but we will not take orders from you or anyone else about how we defend ourselves from the enemies you are now funding with hundreds of billions that’ll go straight to weapons directed at Israel.
Let’s not be confused, Mr. Vance.
🤡 Russian General Kartapolov on Ukraine's Attack on Moscow: "The fact that a drone flies so deep is actually a good thing"
The Russian general tried to convince his domestic audience that burning infrastructure deep in the Russian rear is supposedly part of a useful military training process.
"I state with responsibility: we have the best air defense in the world, and the best in our country — no one else has one like it, it simply doesn't exist today. And the fact that sometimes some drone flies somewhere quite deep, this, on one hand, is actually good, because we are gaining experience in repelling mass raids," says Kartapolov.
If the air defense is the best in the world, why is Moscow on fire?
When a regime is unable to defend its own capital, it must inevitably transform its vulnerability into a "planned experiment." This mirrors the "sour grapes" fable by Aesop: because the fox cannot reach the grapes (protecting the sky), it declares them sour (unimportant/training). Kartapolov’s rhetoric evokes the character of Dr. Pangloss from Voltaire’s Candide, who insistently claimed that we live in "the best of all possible worlds" despite constant catastrophe. By claiming that these strikes provide "valuable experience," the general is essentially admitting that the Russian military was completely unprepared for the reality of modern asymmetric warfare. As military historian B.H. Liddell Hart noted, "The only thing more difficult than getting a new idea into the military mind is getting an old one out." Here, the "old idea" is the myth of Russian invulnerability, and it is being burned away by every incoming drone.
Russia is a hooligan who attacks people, beats them, threatening them not to beat her back, and when she gets hit - ....
Uno de los discursos más poderosos de Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Durante generaciones, nuestro pueblo fue masacrado mientras el mundo permanecía impasible. Pero ahora tenemos un Estado, un ejército valiente y la fuerza para defendernos. ¡Am Yisrael Chai! ¡Hoy! ¡Mañana! ¡Siempre!” 🇮🇱
To Trump: In the Middle East, loyalty is currency. If you abandon your closest friend halfway through a fight and cut deals behind their back while leaving them exposed, don't expect anyone to trust your guarantees again. You told the world, "The U.S. and Israel carried out an operation against Iran," then walked away and left your ally standing alone.
In the Middle East, we don't judge friends by speeches; we judge them by who stays when the missiles fly. A person who abandons an ally halfway and cuts deals behind their back is not someone you call in a crisis.
You will say it's about American interests. Fine. But others also have interests, and they have memories. You can call it "America's interests." We call it something else: leaving your friends in the storm.
Before asking, "Why don't they defend themselves?" remember that countries like Israel did and are still doing so alone.
And also remember that the UAE defended itself, struck back forcefully, and banned the Muslim Brotherhood. Many of your countries in the West did neither.
The lesson is simple. If you can leave your closest friend exposed today, why should anyone trust your promises tomorrow? Maybe it's time for the Middle East to start thinking about alternatives.
And yes, when Iran strikes again, don't assume the Middle East will dial Washington. People don't call someone who might leak information to Turkey or cut a deal with Tehran while their friends are still under fire.
Today the European Parliament voted 418-218 to pass the strictest migration law in EU history.
When the result was announced, MEPs started chanting.
"Send them back."
Inside the parliament chamber. On the floor. In 2026.
Here's what the law actually does:
— Deportation orders now apply across all EU member states. You can't evade removal by crossing a border.
— Detention before deportation extended from 6 months to 30 months. Unlimited for security threats.
— "Return hubs" in third countries. Migrants can be transferred outside the EU while awaiting deportation — including families with children.
— Automatic deportation stays while appeals are pending? Gone. Courts decide case by case.
— Entry bans double from 5 to 10 years. Lifetime bans for security risks.
Currently only about 20% of people ordered deported from the EU actually leave.
For years European leaders told voters that open borders and mass migration were non-negotiable — that wanting enforcement meant you were a fascist.
418 Members of the European Parliament just disagreed.
Trump proved his immigration policies were popular enough to win elections.
After a wave of right-wing electoral gains across the continent, Europe is following in his footsteps.
And the Overton Window is getting kicked off its hinges.
We all see that Putin is now relying on one last thing: constant missile attacks. He has ballistic missiles. So we need anti-ballistic capabilities.
We’ve done a lot to defend against drones, and our interception rate is above 90 percent. That is a serious achievement. We are also defending against cruise missiles. But Russian ballistic missiles remain a problem, and we need an answer to that problem.
Our anti-ballistic coalition – all the countries that are part of it – must demonstrate full capability and deliver real results – better this year.
By this winter, we should already see concrete outcomes from our joint work on anti-ballistic defense.

Zelensky: "If Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn too"
The latest attacks on Russia were a response to Russian strikes on Ukraine, in particular on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
“If Putin does not want to end this war, wants to continue, we will not sit quietly. We will respond.”
