Swedish Ambassador Martin Åberg visited the sites destroyed in the russian attack:
“My name is Martin Åberg, and I am the Ambassador of Sweden to Ukraine. Today is May 25, the day after a massive russian missile attack. A devastating strike on Kyiv.
What you see behind me is one of the sites visited by all invited ambassadors so they could witness the consequences with their own eyes. Six russian missiles struck a shopping center, a market, and the entrance to a metro station. It is simply staggering.”

Friends,
Was the massive Russian attack on Kyiv on May 24 covered by the media in your country?
Thank you for your responses - they are always very important and helpful.

Marta Kostyuk gave a very emotional speech about Ukraine after beating Selekhmeteva in Roland Garros
Marta: “I’m incredibly proud of myself today. I think it was one of the most difficult matches of my career. This morning, 100 meters from my parent’s house, the missile destroyed the building. It was a very difficult morning. I didn’t know how this match is gonna turn out for me. I didn’t know how I would handle it. I’ve been crying part of the morning. I don’t wanna talk about myself today. I’m very pleased to be in the 2nd round, but all of my thoughts and all my heart goes to the people of Ukraine today. Thank you so much for coming out. Slava Ukraine.” ❤️
“With this kind of events you told us.. Why is it so important to be here on the court today?”
Marta: “Because I think it’s important to keep going. My biggest example is Ukrainian people. I woke up in the morning today and I looked at all these people who woke up and kept living their live, kept helping people who are in need. I knew a lot of Ukrainian flags would be here today and a lot of Ukrainian people would come out and support. My friends from Ukraine came as well. Very happy to have them here. Not much I can say.” ❤️
The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.
I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.
All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.
Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.
There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.
Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.
One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.

Well played, Latvia! Congratulations on a hard-fought win. When Team USA is on the ice, every victory has to be earned, and Latvia earned it today. Thanks to both teams for a great game! 🇱🇻🇺🇸��
Tātad mums arī jāgatavojas, ka droni var šļūkt iekšā atkal un atkal. Manuprāt, tā gaisa trauksmes izsludināšana šodien pa 10 novadiem tomēr ir par traku - gribētu dzirdēt kādu saprātīgu profesionālu ieteikumu, kā samērot brīdināšanu ar valsts neapturēšanu viena drona dēļ.
❗️Russia lies again❗️This time it is SVR or the External Intelligence Service running a disinformation campaign against Latvia.
✅FACT: Latvia does NOT provide airspace for attacks on Russia. That has been explained several times to Russian representatives.
Tieši tā - ja ukraiņi var atļauties atsūtīt uz mūsu robežu dažus ekspertus, lai palīdzētu saprast, kā mums labāk tikt galā ar mūsu resursiem mūsu miera apstākļos, un kas tieši ir jāuzlabo, tad šāds atbalsts noteikti jāizmanto!
🕯️ #OTD , we remember victims of the illegal Soviet occupation and its atrocities. Just in one night more than 42,000 innocent Latvians were put on cattle trains and sent to Siberia to die, perish, suffer. We will never forget.
#NeverForget
Ja es jums teiktu, cik reižu sev esam jautājuši - vai kādam šo vajag un cik reizes nespēkā, asarās esam kāruši galvas un teikuši - viss.
Un tad ieraugam ciparus un (atkal raudot), sitam sev uz pleca un saprotam - vajag.
Paldies, jums, tuvu un tālu, kuri bijāt kopā ❤️
🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world!
They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦
Russian air assaults are wrecking Kyiv’s damaged energy grid just as temperatures plunge to -20°C. Ukraine’s capital seems only a few steps away from a disaster https://t.co/EnKpAFTayN
