Do we keep catching arrows, or take out the archers? That’s the question on everyone’s mind in Ukraine today, after another wave of Russian missiles struck from bases that the U.S. won’t let Ukraine target. #LetUkraineStrikeRussianAirfields

The Russo-Ukrainian war is a bizarre mix of high tech and primitive means. Russia, for all its alleged might, has taken to sending armed illegal immigrants aka soldiers into Ukraine on donkeys and, on fancy days, on horseback. Here a Ukrainian drone takes out a horsebound soldier.

As we at UFN reported months ago, it is now common news that foreign veteran fighter pilots including Americans are serving in Ukraine as volunteers to defend the skies. Many in the West once said it would be impossible even for U.S. fighter pilot veterans to assist in this way but yet another barrier has fallen. In fact President Biden once said Ukraine didn't need F-16s. Well, now Ukraine has F-16s and some of America's best young veterans are helping defend the skies over a free land.

How J.K. Rowling Kept a Ukrainian Alive Through Years of Russian Captivity Sasha Ivanov, a Ukrainian soldier, spent five years in Russian captivity—starting before Russia’s full-scale war. When men from his cell started returning home, it turned out they had all listened to Harry Potter through Sasha’s retelling—and now they know every book too. From memory, he kept retelling the whole saga—over and over. Meanwhile, Sasha’s friends showed up at every prisoner exchange with wands, toy owls, and other Harry Potter gear, hoping he would be among the released. Time after time, he did not appear. He was still in a Russian prison, reciting Harry Potter. At last, their dream is true: He is back in Ukraine—and free. And JK Rowling’s stories written in an Edinburgh café kept him going in darkest Russian dungeons through the bleakest time. ‘Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.’ Art by #NEIVANMADE with Cultural Forces International

JD Vance refused to clap for “nature,” during the King’s speech to Congress. Even Speaker Mike Johnson was puzzled. In fact, he looked a bit afraid as he rose to clap while JD, emissary of the White House and president of the Senate, sat silently. But the Speaker found the courage to clap anyhow. King Charles showed Ciceronian rhetorical skills and within 2 minutes he indeed had Vice President Vance clapping for nature, once the king couched the natural order as also necessary for national security for free peoples.

1 Corinthians 3:17 "If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple" Overnight, a Russia directly struck the altar section of the Dormition Cathedral, the central church of the 11th-century monastic complex.

This was simply a nice hot-mic moment between King Charles III and President Zelensky at Windsor Castle. "You don't want to wash your hands, just in case?" the King asked, as they entered into a private audience. That's a polite British euphemism meaning, "Do you need to use the restroom?" — but it shows a high level of courtesy and attention from the King. "No, no, I'm ok," Zelensky said, in a friendly way. Such wholesome meetings, I suspect, are sources of encouragement for Zelensky, quite different from the reality TV lions' den of the White House. [And I'm not judging that difference right now; The White House is indeed a test that has to be passed.] What do you think?

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni sticks to her guns no matter her audience: Speaking to the annual CPAC event in Washington, DC, she used her conservative credentials to urge the pro-Trump crowd to stand with Ukraine: ⦿ "Happiness depends on freedom. And freedom depends on courage." ⦿ "I know that with Donald J. Trump leading the United States, we will never again see the disaster we saw in Afghanistan four years ago." ⦿ "Will we let our civilization fail or will we stand up and defend it?" ⦿ She said the free nations must stand with "Ukraine where a proud people fight for freedom against the brutal aggression."

King Charles III welcomes many foreign leaders to the UK. None receive a welcome like he affords Zelensky: In the royal family's private quarters, bedecked with whimsical heirlooms, in Windsor Castle. King Charles's very existence is about optics. And he knows what he is doing.

Does Donald Trump think Ukraine’s resistance is only about Zelensky? Does he realize that the Ukrainian people hate what Russia has been doing to them? Here an 11-year-old Ukrainian boy describes saying goodbye to his dead mother as he was rescued from the rubble after three Russian rockets hit Vinnytsia city. He was speaking in the EU Parliament, and his translator, so moved to tears, could barely speak herself.

After Elon Musk handed Giorgia Meloni an Atlantic Council award in NYC this past week, the Italian prime minister used the moment to state clearly that Ukraine must win—and that the West, if it still believes in democracy and dignity—must help. Voice's like Meloni's can help snap so many people out of the propaganda coma that prevents them from standing with Ukraine. Maybe Elon, who has castigated Ukraine and who has ignored Ukraine's great successes, will wake up.

The Russians began to attack, so the choir & audience carried on in the Odesa Opera House cellar. Odesa is a largely Russian-speaking city but most Odesans hate Russia & love freedom. As I have observed, after each attack more people choose to speak Ukrainian in defiance.

Margaret Thatcher saw exactly who Putin was—25 years ago! Exactly! And still current European and American leaders today are naive—or afraid. What do you think of Baroness Thatcher's warning about Ukraine? "[Russians] still do not value human life in the same way that we do."

Instead, they call Russia “Venäjä.” Finland, with just 5.6 million people, is one of the strongest nations in Europe—aware of its identity, prepared to fight, and, understanding the Russian threat, generously helping Ukraine. Its president Alexander Stubb has elevated Finland as a key geopolitical player. music: the great Finnish composer Sibelius UFN /

She sat down with Zelenskyy and said it to his face — the mockery, the RT bylines, the "country full of Nazis" line she repeated for years. Then she said she'd been bamboozled.

Boris Johnson: "I was in every signifcant Nato meeting ... There was never a snowball's chance in Hades of Ukraine joining Nato." Moscow's claims that it is simply trying to keep Ukraine out of Nato are an embarrasingly bad lie. Look back at the headlines pre-2022. There was ZERO desire from Washington and other major Nato captials for Ukraine to join. ZERO. Sure, leaders such as Biden and even Bush would mention the idea, because they didn't want to sound heartless but for decades they always put down Ukraine, tried to dis-arm it, never actually wanted Ukrainians in Nato. Ukrainians were too free, too uncontrollable. There was zero chance of Ukraine joining Nato, as Boris Johnson made clear last week at the annual Holberg Debate hosted by the Kingdom of Norway in seaside Bergen.
