London today. Ukraine doesn't belong to putin or Trump. Three years on, we continue to stand with the Ukrainian resistance in their brave struggle for freedom, democracy and self-determination. No to occupation. No to partition. russian troops out now. ukraine_solidarity_campaign / Instagram

Zelenskyy's Nightly Address We're ensuring Ukraine and Europe are part of crucial talks. Grateful for the Netherlands' F-16 support, Albania's vision, UK's leadership, and Greece's solidarity. Our military's bravery and partners' commitment bring us closer to peace Full address 🖇️

European leaders unite to support Ukraine's sovereignty and involvement in peace talks. As concerns grow over Ukraine's exclusion from negotiations, the prime ministers of Greece, Spain, and the UK have voiced strong backing for Kyiv, emphasizing that any path to peace must include Ukraine.

Tolerance for evil, whether supporting dictators or enabling misinformation, is dangerous. Trump's alignment with putin undermines democracy and the global order. World leaders must confront him, failing to stand up to him only enables tyranny. The world deserves better, and history will judge

US and russian officials are set to meet in the next two weeks in a third country, according to Deputy FM ryabkov With discussions possibly covering strategic stability, arms control, and the Middle East. This follows recent talks in Saudi Arabia and could pave the way for a Trump and putin summit

During WWII, the Soviet Red Army committed widespread violence, including gender-based abuse. Russia continues this tactic in Ukraine while denying atrocities and silencing critics. (1/11)

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

Every normal person knows one simple thing 👇 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 All you need is the withdrawal of russian soldiers from Ukraine. And the World will return to life as normal. #UkrainianView #US #EU #UK #Canada

Election Slogans for the US Republican Party for the Trump-putin New World Order ➡️ Make Oligarchs Great Again ➡️ A New Cold War Warmth ➡️ putin’s Pals for Progress ➡️ Together We Conquer All Maybe no more elections, or just follow putin’s playbook and make sure the outcome is already decided.

Ironically, many scenes of "The Death of Stalin" were filmed in Kyiv, a city now resisting putin—the new Stalin. Once a symbol of Soviet power, Kyiv stands as a beacon of defiance. The streets where Soviet tyranny was portrayed now witness Ukraine's fight for sovereignty.

The U.S. has reportedly threatened to cut off Starlink access to Ukraine unless it agrees to a critical minerals deal, giving the U.S. major access to Ukraine's resources This move is seen as a critical leverage point in ongoing support, especially for Ukraine’s communication needs during the war

It's time to stop moscow in Ukraine. Ukraine's victory is Europe's security. The time to act is NOW👇

Is it time for Europe to prepare refugee reception centers for fleeing Americans? Due to the abuse of power by Trump and his allies—undermining democracy, weaponizing the legal system, and enabling human rights abuses—the EU may soon see Americans seeking asylum from this authoritarian regime.

So tell us, Mr. Trump, what first attracted you to cowardly, despotic putin over the courageous and resolute Zelenskyy? Was it the iron-fisted rule, the blatant war crimes, or the mutual contempt for democratic values that first caught your attention? 🎩 Hat tip to Caroline Aherne's Mrs. Merton

Trump criticizes France's Emmanuel Macron and UK PM Keir Starmer, claiming they’ve "done nothing" to help end the war in Ukraine ahead of their White House visits next week. He also dismisses Ukraine’s Zelensky, saying he has "no cards" in peace talks and isn’t "very important" in meetings.
