Germany and the US have agreed to send five Patriot systems to Ukraine as soon as possible. Final negotiations are underway. Speed is vital – every minute is a matter of survival.

If many Western countries have long agreed to confiscate russian assets, then why should their citizens be the ones paying for putin’s crimes? It’s both smart and strategically sound to make russia finance the defense of its victim.

UK Defence Secretary John Healey will call to step up in turn with a ‘50-day drive’ to arm Ukraine. putin must be forced, not invited, to the negotiating table.

It’s frustrating that world leaders need so much time – and so many lives lost – just to realize the obvious: russia has never sought peace. Again and again, it proves this with more cruelty and mockery.

For the victims of tonight’s attack, 50 days were far too long to wait. It has become a deadly window that putin uses to kill, burn, and destroy.

Only after living through a night of dreadful attacks like tonight can you truly feel how long 50 days can be – like an eternity.

The first Australian tanks have been handed over to the Ukrainian army. We can’t stop thanking you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us – not just in words, but in real action!

2,000 drones are heading for Ukraine – this is what russia is preparing now. The question isn’t if, but who will act fast enough to stop it. The US must not let them grow stronger in the next 50 days.

Ukraine’s strength lies in resilience, bravery, and invincibility – and Oleksandr Usyk proved it once again in the ring. Strength wins. We couldn’t be prouder of our people! 🇺🇦

There’s hope that the weapons and air defense President Trump publicly promised to Ukraine are already here. We can’t survive those 50 days unless we’re fully armed.

russians went unusually quiet during Keith Kellogg’s visit which makes us wonder how many drones and missiles they stockpiled, and what’s coming next.

The resolution of war in Ukraine will define the success of President Trump’s geopolitical approach and future of the democratic world.

For us, the threat of being killed was real yesterday, remains real today, and will persist tomorrow. That’s why President Trump’s commitment to arm Ukraine needs to become a reality – without the delay.

It’s baffling that $300 billion in frozen russian assets are still gathering dust in Europe. Those blocking their use aren’t protecting peace – they’re literally standing in its way.

Slovakia has lifted its veto on the EU’s 18th sanctions package against russia. This should send a clear message: putin and his gang of criminals will face the pressure – no matter the obstacles.

Massive military aid to Ukraine can be funded with frozen russian assets. We don’t need to search for money – it’s already on the table.

As the opposition, we are not voting for the new government. But as Ukrainians, we wish them nothing but success in running the country during wartime and providing our army with everything it needs.

The main difference between us and russians in international negotiations is this: we stand by international law and demand justice. russia breaks the law and tries to rewrite the rules to cover up its crimes.

We’re not asking the US for anything extraordinary – just to lead as a rule-maker, not a rule-taker. Let’s not forget: it’s the driving force in NATO, the veto holder in the UN Security Council, and a signatory of the Budapest memorandum.

Ever since Keith Kellogg arrived in Kyiv, we’ve actually had a chance to sleep peacefully – not a single attack! There’s even a local proposal to ask him to stay for another 50 days 😊
