How would I define Ukraine's victory? Ukraine safe and secure within its internationally recognised borders, part of EU and NATO. More from my interview with The Kyiv Independent.

@KyivIndependent I imagine the Ukraine 🇺🇦 war looks like what would have happened if the Czechs had fought Hitler in September, 1938.

@KyivIndependent EU not going to happen .. Ukraine is a bankrupt country NATO not going to happen because "Nyet means nyet" Crimea and Donbas will never be Ukraine again These are non-negotiable and Ukraine will either accept it or cease to exist.. That is reality.

@KyivIndependent Ukraine was also very active in bombing Donbass and Luhansk with cluster munitions.

@KyivIndependent How would I define Ukraine's victory? Ukraine safe and secure as part of the powerful Commonwealth of the Three Nations, and therefore a significant player in the EU and NATO. Victory for the entire region.

@KyivIndependent Ukraine's victory will be to keep Kiev.🤣

@KyivIndependent Ukraine will cease to exist because of warmongering politicians like you.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський I am absolutely convinced that a brighter future awaits you all. A future within the EU. A future with peace, with prosperity. There can be no independent and safe Europe without an independent and safe Ukraine. There can be no free Europe without a free Ukraine.

Iran is struggling with U.S. bases near its borders. People criticize me for the war in Ukraine, but Russia could have faced the same problem that Iran is facing now if we hadn’t acted in Ukraine and stopped NATO from expanding. I protected Russia’s borders from NATO — Putin

Ukrainian drone pilot who worked with NATO drone pilots says its very hard to work with them because they have so many regulations they basically can never fly 😂 “Can’t fly here, can’t fly there, wind is too strong, its raining, we need 8hours of sleep” Just imagine being on position in Ukraine and say to your commander “ Sorry Sir, I cannot fly, I did not have my 8hrs of sleep” 😂 Full interview from The Kyiv Independent:

NEW: 60 Minutes edited out one of Kamala Harris's rambles on the Russia/Ukraine war, clipped in a strong statement instead about Putin "sitting in Kyiv right now." Edited version: Question: "Would you support the effort to expand NATO to include Ukraine?" Answer: "Those are all issues that we will deal with if and when it arrives at that point. Right now, we are supporting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russia's unprovoked aggression... [frame change] ... Donald Trump, if he were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now." Unedited version: Question: "Would you support the effort to expand NATO to include Ukraine?" Answer (ramble): "Those are all issues that we will deal with if and when arrives at that point. Right now, we are supporting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russia's unprovoked aggression and doing what we can to continue to build and strengthen the alliance around the support for Ukraine's right to be an independent nation, free from having its borders forcefully taken by Russia. And we are gonna continue to work closely with our NATO allies to continue to reinforce America's alliance in the context of NATO. Again, in this election, there's a real difference between me and the former president. I believe in reinforcing the strength of NATO. Understanding again, it is the greatest military alliance the world has ever known. Donald Trump would pull us out of NATO. Donald Trump, if he were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now."

Europe possesses the strength to prevent chaos. Each of Ukraine's security agreements with its partners demonstrates this. I appreciate Denmark's solidarity with Ukraine. The security agreement between our countries opens up new security opportunities. Increasing pressure on Russia, defense cooperation with Denmark, and support for Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO are all things that strengthen us. 🇺🇦🇩🇰

❗️ Zelenskyy hinted that he would not step down as president until Ukraine is taken into the EU and NATO “I am ready to do anything for peace in Ukraine. Of course, Russia wants to get rid of me. Perhaps not physically, as they tried to do at the beginning of the war, but politically. I am a very uncomfortable person for Putin. We know each other. If tomorrow Ukraine is admitted to the EU and NATO, I will no longer be needed. But until that happens, I will defend my country", - Zelenskyy said in an interview with ARD. He also said that “Ukraine's victory without U.S. support will definitely not happen. But Putin will not be able to occupy us".

Noam Chomsky explains how US involvement in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO to Russia's border created the War in Ukraine: "The idea that Ukraine would join a western military alliance would be quite unacceptable to any Russian leader. Gorbachev agreed to allow Germany to join NATO with a quid pro quo that NATO would not expand one inch to the east. NATO instantly moved to east Germany. Then Clinton came along and expanded NATO right to the borders of Russia." REPORTER: You can understand why Ukraine's president would see joining NATO as protecting his country? "No, it's not. Crimea was taken away after the overthrow of the government, right? He's not protecting Ukraine; he's threatening Ukraine with a major war. This is a strategic threat to Russia which any Russian leader would have to react to."

Germany’s AfD Alice Weidel is calling to cease support for Ukraine, block EU and NATO membership, and calls Ukraine a terrorist country. She is also a famous russian asset. "Germany must take part in the peace process in order to promote its own interests. This includes turning away EU and NATO membership of Ukraine and further transfer payments from Germany. We have to demand much more compensation for the state‑terrorist attack on the vital infrastructure of Germany, the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which Kyiv is obviously responsible for." Please, dear Germans, do not vote for her party!
