One of the greatest comforts of heaven: we won't be able to sin.

We will confirmed in obedience, like the good angels.

No second fall is possible. We need never fear that we shall grieve God again. Simply glorious.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Last night in Kyiv, tragically, three people were killed by Russian drones, including a father and his five-year-old daughter. Just a day earlier in Zaporizhzhia, a Russian strike took the lives of an entire family—a mother, a father, and their daughter. My condolences to all the families and loved ones.

There must be more pressure on Russia to stop this terror. And that depends on all our partners—the U.S., Europe, and others around the world. After the last meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, it has become absolutely clear to the entire world: Russia is the only one dragging this war out, the only one that brought it here—and the only one who needs it to continue.

Since March 11, a proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table—and these attacks could have already stopped. But it is Russia that continues all this. Every night, every single day, it carries out the most cynical strikes. Without pressure on Russia, those in Moscow will continue to show contempt for real diplomacy and keep destroying lives.

Today is the second meeting between the Ukrainian and U.S. teams in Saudi Arabia. This time at a more technical level—with our military, diplomats, and representatives from the Ministry of Energy.

I’ve spoken with @rustem_umerov, who briefed me on the meeting and the course of negotiations. Our team is working in a fully constructive manner, and the discussion is quite useful. The work of the delegations continues.

But no matter what we’re discussing with our partners right now, Putin must be pushed to issue a real order to stop the strikes—because the one who brought this war must be the one to take it back.

[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.

An edifying practice: convert anxiety about the state of the world to prayer for the advance of the gospel, the thwarting of evil, and the speedy return of Christ.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Theology 101: If your version of Christianity is radically different from the faith of the actual disciples of the apostles trained and ordained by the apostles themselves, then it’s not the Christian Faith but your own misinterpretation of the apostles’ writings.

Theology 101: Chances are, not everything about the church you grew up in was right, and not everything about the church you grew up in was wrong; graciously correcting the bad and gratefully embracing the good—these are marks of spiritual maturity.
