❗️US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker: My experience visiting Ukraine showed, first and foremost, the resilience of the Ukrainian people. They are clearly in the midst of a war, but they try to live their everyday lives. The innovations I saw — not only drones, but also missiles...

APPLEBAUM: The war in Ukraine is really fault line between democratic and autocratic worlds. Russians are trying to destroy Ukraine as a nation, they want it to disappear. As an empire, they want Ukraine to be their colony. And they understood perfectly well that by invading Ukraine, they were defying this liberal world order. They were defying the rules of post-war Europe, because in post-war Europe decision was made after 1945: we are not going to invade each other anymore, we are not going to have wars. Instead, we are going to decide everything by diplomacy, and borders will not be changed by force. And Russians understood they were breaking that norm when they invaded Ukraine. They also invaded Ukraine because Ukrainians were using that powerful democratic language we take for granted. Putin said, “If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So, I need to crush this Ukrainian democracy movement.”

Putin promised that Russia would not attack NATO: "Turns out, war with Russians is almost right around the corner. They repeat this nonsense, this mantra, all the time. I sometimes watch what they are saying, but they can't possibly believe in that. They cannot believe what they are saying, that Russia is going to attack NATO. But it's impossible to believe that, and yet, they convince their people of it. So, what kind of people are these? They are either very incompetent, if they really believe that, as it's impossible to believe this nonsense, or they are just dishonest because they don't believe it themselves but they try to convince their citizens of it. What other options are there? To be honest, I really want to say, calm down, don't lose sleep." Russia repeatedly said that it never planned to attack Ukraine, up to the very last moments before the full-scale invasion.

US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker (my two cents) below): I think the Russian threat sometimes is a little overstated. They have not had a lot of success. And to your point, Ukraine has actually taken back territory. To me, that points to a weakness in Russia, and as their economy continues to falter, I think their continuation of this war is going to be difficult. My input: Russia has not had a lot of success in Ukraine because Ukrainian Defenders make a tremendous effort, and the West supplies Ukraine with weapons. Yes, Ukraine has retaken our territories, but this is first and foremost a compliment to Ukrainian skill. Russia does not play by the rules, Putin knows that his power relies on Russia waging a war, and Russia does not care about its people. NATO has named Russia as its most significant threat, and Russia remains one.

They didn’t start the war, but they accepted the fight. They are among the finest, the best that Ukrainian soil has ever given birth to. Defenders of their land, their home. They didn’t come to fight for NATO; they will Kill for Ukraine. 92nd Separate Assault Brigade.

"The hand and ears of Western intelligence are clearly visible, particularly the British. Ukraine is merely the muscle, it can't carry out attacks like this on their own. Even from the reaction of Western media it's obvious that they were waiting for this," Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN told us. When they let Zelensky preen, prance and take credit, they are not trying to fool us, they are performing a psyop on their own population.

'We're helping Ukraine strike Russia,' says former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor. They can strike as far as the Ural Mountains, as far as the Arctic. So, the initiative is now with the Ukrainians. But how long can they continue this? Because we need to consider the munitions they use. Can the US, for example, continue to supply such weapons, given that so much has already been deployed in the Middle East? The US doesn't supply them. These missiles the Ukrainians are launching, they produce themselves... These are Ukrainian drones and Ukrainian missiles that are used to strike St. Petersburg and other military targets. These are Ukrainian developments. Therefore, they don't require permission to use them. However, they do need intelligence and targeting information. And we provided it. The United States, along with other countries, provided such information.

Muscovites are making fun of the whole world by saying that they don’t feel any sanctions. They can still enjoy their lives. That means: ▪️Ukraine needs to implement something more effective ▪️Russians are not sorry for the crimes their country commits ▪️They will never try to stop the war until it starts affecting their lives

The wall near St. Michael’s Monastery in Kyiv. Here are the faces of the Heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine. Here are ordinary people who did not want war - they wanted to live. But when Russians came to kill us, they stood up to defend their country. This is the price Ukraine is paying. Ukraine deserves peace. 📹: Oleg Kiy

We’re not at the front line. ————————————————— ZELENSKYY: One month ago marked the anniversary of one of the greatest tragedies — the Chernobyl disaster. And, we build a big museum, to honor the people who saved others’ lives — the Chernobyl Museum. And we showed it to the world — but today they destroyed it totally. The missile attacked that and several, buildings. So we are really thankful to our heroic savers and to our people. Yes, DSNS, huh? Yeah. And to policemen. So they help. Rescuers. To rescuers and et cetera, yes. And also they attacked hospitals and attacked kindergartens and schools. So what do we have to do to… JOURNALIST: Russia said it was a retaliation from the previous attacks. ZELENSKYY: They always say that. And it's not true. They understand that we always respond. They began this war, so it's not the question who is the first or who is the second. They began this war. And the most important thing, when we see that when we respond, we target their military goals. When they do attacks, they kill civilians. We’re not at the front line.

Today, many world leaders, diplomats, and ordinary people with big hearts expressed their condolences to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. They condemned the Russian strike. I thank everyone who remembers that wars end when the crimes of war are not forgotten — and when the aggressor is met with enough pressure. And that’s exactly what’s missing right now. This Friday marked one month since Russia spurned the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. They are not afraid. That’s why they keep launching ballistic missiles. That’s why there are nearly a hundred attack drones every night — most of them Shaheds — targeting ordinary Ukrainian cities. Russian assaults on the front line continue as well. They do not stop attacking. They do not stop spreading hatred through their state propaganda. Only pressure — only decisive action — can change this. Every Russian ballistic missile, every cruise missile, every Shahed drone and every guided bomb strikes not only our people and our communities, but also diplomacy — and the political efforts of everyone trying to end this war. We will continue doing everything we can to protect our people and save lives.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico spoke about Europe's attempt to "bring Russia to its knees" "Ukraine was ready to sign a peace agreement. Then, individuals like Mr. Johnson, who was a member of the British parliament at the time but not yet Prime Minister, began to show up. These people actively persuaded not only Western leaders but also the Ukrainian government to avoid signing a peace agreement at all costs, in order to continue the war. The strategy was to use this war to bring Russia to its knees. But anyone who knows the Russians understands that when they are on their knees, it's because they are tying their shoelaces. So, this strategy did not work."

Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tamil Eelam national leader and leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), being asked about his views on the Sinhalese people and the ethnic conflict itself. (2002) “As far as we are concerned in this war, we have seen so much destruction. I tell this to my cadres also. Even now, the Sinhalese people and the Sinhalese politicians, the only reason why they came to the peace process in the first place is that we are tired of being beaten up and they are tired of continuously beating us up. Usually, the ones who are beaten up come for peace, but here they come for peace because they are tired of beating us up. This is what I’m trying to say to them. Instead of pointlessly trying to fight for something they have no connection to, they don’t even have one small plot of land that belongs to them there. So they are going and fighting for something that doesn’t even belong to them in the first place. By trying to do so, they are getting killed, and because of that they are destroying themselves economically for trying to wage this war. Their people are also suffering because of that tremendously. Instead of killing each other, both can separate peacefully and both can prosper. But until they understand this, I have to keep them in check. Other than that, I have no anger towards the Sinhalese people. They are simply suffering due to their own mistakes.”

SKY NEWS: Are you worried about Iran potentially attacking Ukraine? They've threatened because of what happened with their vessel. Or is that not a concern? ZELENSKYY: What do you think if Iran, from the first year of the war, gave new technology to Russia? It was Shahed drones. They gave thousands of these drones in the first year of the war, and then they gave licenses. What did they do? Did they attack us? I think yeah. So, they already did it. We have to be cautious. We have to do everything not to open a new front in any way, but we have to be honest. Iranians and North Korea have already attacked us. I hope they will not increase these attacks. But we have to be ready for everything. Just to be ready, and to know that we can't trust these people. Because at the very beginning, without any messages or any kind of escalation from our side, Iranians gave weapons to Russia. North Koreans also gave Russia weapons, drones, missiles, 155-caliber artillery rounds, and 10,000 North Koreans.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "RUSSIA IS USING HUMAN LIVES AND ITS WAR MACHINE" Russia keeps trying to turn every hard moment on the battlefield into a big dramatic storyline, and Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S., Olga Stefanishyna, says it is all aimed at one audience. She believes the Kremlin is using these narratives to influence the American government and to exploit the idea that Trump wants to end the war quickly. According to Stefanishyna, Russia is framing places like Pokrovsk as huge turning points even though Ukraine faces dozens of intense combat zones every week. She says it is a performance meant to look like strength while hiding what she describes as military exhaustion and desperation. At the same time, Stefanishyna argues that a ceasefire will eventually come, but the real question is who decides the price of that deal: Ukraine or outside powers like the U.S. "Russia builds a narrative around Pokrovsk as the battle of battles to pretend they are succeeding. They are trying to speculate with the intention of Trump to end the war. They are using human lives and their war machine. Every war ends with a deal, but the price of that deal will be decided not only in Ukraine but also here in the U.S."
