i really don't want another generation to spend half of their lives in war like i have (and I've had it very easy btw)

please don't stop supporting Ukraine

Those who said Trump was needed to protect Ukraine were lying.

We need more questioning like this.

Hegseth might as well be speaking in Russian.

Had a conversation with a non-Ukrainian friend today that really stuck with me. They were talking about visiting and casually mentioned maybe finding a cheap flight. And I just... Freezed for a moment before saying, "The airspace is closed."

They genuinely asked, "Why?"

It caught me off guard. I forget sometimes how easy it is for people outside of Ukraine to not know what's going on here. But the reality is, we're still in constant danger. Air raid sirens, missile attacks, sleepless nights—it hasn’t stopped.

I don’t want to be aggressive about it, but I do want to remind people: Ukraine is still fighting, still struggling, still suffering. Please don’t forget about us.

The russians have hit the very centre of the city of Sumy, in broad daylight on Palm Sunday, just as it was filled with crowds of people.

The city mayor reports there are a lot of dead and wounded.

One of the missiles reportedly hit a trolleybus full of people

These are just a few of Russia's war crimes. Every day, Russian forces bombard civilian cities, torture prisoners, and loot Ukrainian lands. Meanwhile, Russian politicians openly disregard international agreements and speak about destroying Ukraine as a nation. And yet, Ukraine is now being asked to forget all of this.

I felt sick from this description...

we fight for at least one generation of Ukrainians of the last several centuries to be free from russia

It's so wild to me to see under that Xiran Jay Zhao's post about the bombed ukrainian printing house comments like "I hope everyone is safe." And I get it, people are saying this out of kindness and pure consern, there's nothing wrong with it. It just shows how little coverage our war has abroad.

No, no one in Ukraine is safe. No one in that printing house was safe, in fact, 7 people died. No one in a huge hypermarket in Kharkiv on Saturday was safe, in fact, there were 18 killed and 48 injured. And all this happened in the span of only a few days.

No one is safe in territories occupied by russians because the whole family can get killed by refusing to give up their home to russian soldiers. And every time ukrainian army liberates some region, they find mass graves and torture chambers there.

No one is safe even far away from the front line and the border with russia, because missiles and drones fly all over Ukraine, and you never know when the next one will land on your house.

Hell, ukrainians aren't safe even abroad, because there's always a chance there will be some crazy russian or russian supporter who will decide to beat or kill us. And I'm not making this up.

I'm aware that I'm more safe than the people close to the front line and the border with russia or in occupied territories. I don't hear explosions every day, unlike my friend from Kharkiv. But that doesn't mean I'm completely safe. Missiles and drones fly by at least several times a week, especially at night, when I don't hear the sound of an air raid siren simply because I'm asleep. 

I am not safe.

My family is not safe.

My friends all over Ukraine are not safe.

We're not safe until russia is gone from our territories. That's why we need all that ammunition and aid. War won't magically stop if our allies stop sending us weapons; that's not how it works. We'll just be more unsafe, because russia won't stop unless it is forced to.

1) King Charles receives Zelensky in Sandringham.

It's a private residence.

There is no record of a foreign leader being received there for a private audience EVER.

2) President of the European Council, and former prime minister of Portugal António Costa, ALWAYS wears suit and tie in public.

Today, for the European leaders meeting in London, he wore a turtleneck.

I can't believe we're at a place where MIKE PENCE is the voice of reason standing up to President Trump.
