Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from. If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems." The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't. There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content. There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place. It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room. That needs to change. And fast.

Q: "It's not just Trump, we also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?" Zelenskyy: "Because these people can't find a key to how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others..." The key to stopping Putin has always been the same: Russia’s ability to wage war must be destroyed, both economically and militarily. Right now, the US is doing the exact opposite. Zelenskyy: "It’s simpler to talk about prices and connect them to Ukraine, when everyone in the world understands that prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear the reality. Don’t play games with people." Because Ukraine is in a vulnerable position, it is an easy scapegoat for everything. We are under attack and depend on our partners for support. We are forced to perform true miracles of patience and diplomacy. But blaming Ukraine didn’t work for Orbán in Hungary, and it won’t work for Trump in the US.

This is Odesa after a Russian attack today‼️ Russia struck an 11-story building, and when firefighters arrived and started their work, Russia struck it again. 10 people were injured, including 2 firefighters. At the time of the first attack, people were in a shelter, which saved their lives. Again, this is a big city on Friday, in broad daylight. This is terrorism.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us. I believe that our team is simply being used as a cover up, and this is definitely not fair, it is definitely not partnership-like, and in my view, it is a weak decision, unfortunately. Weak decision by strong partners.

Zelenskyy: “This week was very difficult for us, not only geopolitically, but also because of massive Russian attacks on our civilian infrastructure. They attacked our energy sector 196 times, our gas and oil 20 times. So far, they've killed 153 civilians. We want peace. We're ready for a ceasefire. We're ready to begin with any kind of de-escalation steps. If they want an energy ceasefire, we're open to this. Don’t attack us, don’t kill our children, and we'll stop attacking your diesel. I think it’s a fair deal.” It's a simple point, but a critical one. De-escalation has to be mutual and fair. A "deal" that forbids Ukraine from hitting the economic engine driving Russia's war, while Russia continues killing civilians with zero consequences is not a deal at all. It's surrender. If Trump wants an energy ceasefire, Russia is the one that must be pressured into it.

While clearing debris following a Russian strike in Kharkiv, a concrete slab collapsed onto rescue workers. One of them is in critical condition. They are working under unbelievable pressure, with people screaming for help from under the rubble and russian drones continue to attack them at the same time. I hope he will be okay.

Q: "Trump has announced this deal to buy diesel fuel from Russia. You’ve called it a birthday gift to Putin. Explain why?" Zelenskyy: "Because it gives Putin money, and he spends money only on this war, to kill us, to kill our children. I was in a small city this week. They attacked a building there with no military goals, nothing even close to that building. They killed 22 people, about 60 were wounded, and five small children were killed." Every cent Russia gets from its diesel sales will go to murdering Ukrainians. Every single cent! No exceptions. Trump perfectly understands this, he just doesn’t care.

Trump: "Mr. Zelenskyy has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia, because he's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine." You morally bankrupt, victim-blaming narcissist, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE! We have been defending ourselves against a genocidal invasion for almost 5 years in a fight where everyone gave us a week, and you find nothing better to do than blame us for a crisis of your own making?! What’s worse, Russia’s war in Ukraine would have become unsustainable by now if your poorly planned endeavor in Iran hadn't fed russia massive amounts of oil revenue. You threw our lives to the wind! Because you can't plan your own operations, and instead of fixing the situation somewhat with air defense, you blame us for the very crisis you created at our expense!

Trump: "I spoke to Zelenskyy, I said, 'You got to take it easy on the refineries as much as you can.' Because we're causing a world problem." First of all, the right thing to do is demanding that Russia end its invasion, rather than asking Ukraine to stop defending itself. Second, Russian diesel has been under sanctions for almost five years and is not sold in the U.S. The recent price spike is driven by the war in Iran. Finally, Zelenskyy never agreed to stop strikes, nor can such an agreement happen without symmetrical de-escalation from Russia, whether through an energy ceasefire or a complete end to long-range strikes.

![MERZ: For four and a half years, Ukraine has been fighting for its survival, and no one — yes, no one — has threatened Russia...

And your [AfD] reactions only show that you clearly intend to continue this downright grotesque reversal of perpetrator and victim. No one has threatened Russia. Not NATO, not European Union, not Germany. And your [AfD] reactions show exactly how you think. Ladies and gentlemen, the only thing that truly threatens Russia and Putin is the radiance of democracy.

TRUMP: Putin said, "I'd love to meet in Moscow." I don’t know if Zelenskyy would go to Moscow. Maybe he would. Would you go to Moscow? ZELENSKYY: It’s difficult. There are lot of Ukrainian drones there. (Audience laughs) It’s dangerous. TRUMP: Yeah, it’s hard to go to Moscow.

HOST: Will Russia use nuclear weapons? STUBB: No. HOST: Why are you so sure about that? STUBB: For instance, I had Foreign Minister of China visiting me this summer. I raised this issue, and he said, “We will never allow it to happen.” I think, that’s a pretty good deterrent.

Rubio: “We’ve invited Putin to the G20.” You’re an indicted war criminal, a mafia dictator, a bloody invader, and biggest monster of 21st century? Your army's committed thousands of war crimes? You’re helping Iran kill Americans? No problem, US will roll out red carpet for you!

Trump: "Zelensky could have settled this war many, many times, but he chooses not to." Sick liar! This rant is full-on Russian propaganda straight from the mouth of the US president. There is no deal on the table that Ukraine could have accepted. All Russia has ever suggested is for Ukraine to surrender so they can kill us quietly behind the cover of occupation, like they did in Bucha and Izium, and like they are doing now in Oleshky and across the occupied territories. Trump: "We said, 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem.' And he wants to make problems for the world. He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel." Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure are crippling Russia's ability to wage war, not the American ranchers or farmers, who suffer because of failed war in Iran. Buying diesel from Russia directly fuels their war.

Mike Pence: Right now, President Lee of South Korea could transfer interceptors they manufacture directly to Ukraine. And I'm really calling on President Lee to do just that. I think, this is real moment where South Korea can step up, given North Korea’s cooperation with Russia.

Sen. Kennedy: Is Russia our friend? Gen. Smith: Sir, they're not. Sen. Kennedy: Between Ukraine and Russia, who do we want to win that war? Gen. Smith: Obviously, we want Ukraine to stand independently and not be consumed by Russia. Sen. Kennedy: When Putin went into Ukraine, he thought he was going to roll in and take it over in two days like thunder on a summer night, didn't he? Gen. Smith: I believe he did. Sen. Kennedy: But Ukrainian people have fought back, haven't they? Gen. Smith: Yes, sir, they've fought back. Sen. Kennedy: And they now have some of the most sophisticated drone technology in the history of the world, don't they? Gen. Smith: Sir, they do. They're doing very well with drones. Sen. Kennedy: And with limited resources they have, they're giving Russia curb-stomping, aren't they? Gen. Smith: I would say they are. Sen. Kennedy: In fact, with their limited resources, they've knocked out 40% of Russia's oil export capacity. Since January, using their drones and limited cruise missiles, they've hit oil and gas facilities within Russia over 100 times. Not on the border, within Russia. Right? Gen. Smith: Yes, sir. Sen. Kennedy: And Putin was so scared, he almost had to cancel Russia's military parade, didn't he? Gen. Smith: I will take your word for that, sir. Sen. Kennedy: Okay.

WILSON: In 1987, Trump made his first trip to Moscow, and while he was there, something happened. No one knows what. He came back and immediately placed a paid ad in New York Times saying we need to get out of NATO, that we’re paying too much. It was Russian talking points 101. At that moment, something happened in Trump’s brain. Whether it was kompromat, Trump’s unsophisticated nature, or Russians simply persuading him that he could do business in Russia and build a Trump Tower in Moscow, whether it was venality or kompromat, Trump changed, and he's never abandoned that view since 1987.

MACRON: Americans tried to negotiate with Russia. What was the result of those efforts? Nothing. We Europeans also tried to negotiate with Russia. What happened? Nothing. Zelenskyy also said, "I’m ready to negotiate with Russia." What did Putin say? "No." So, President Trump, just like all the G7 members, agreed that Russia has shown no serious willingness to engage in peace negotiations. We all agreed to increase our support for Ukraine. We all stated that we would increase pressure on Russia, and we all agreed to remain steadfast on this path. This represents real change compared to the last few months, not just from Europe, but from all G7 members and all those who support Ukraine.

Kimmel: I like your football jersey. Supporting Ukrainian team? Chef José Andrés: My beloved Spanish team, of course. But Ukraine is my team today. They didn’t make it to World Cup, but today they're fighting the biggest match — for freedom and democracy. Kimmel: Yes, they are. Chef José Andrés: And can I tell you one more thing? Kimmel: Yes, please. Chef José Andrés: No civilian should ever be bombed. Not in Ukraine, not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Israel. No war! That’s why they are my team today.
