On Holodomor Remembrance Day, I will say only one thing. Ukrainians with weapons in 2025 are not the same Ukrainians without weapons who died of artificial famine in 1932-33. We have learned our history lessons well.

I had the opportunity to talk to journalists from various media outlets in Manila. They were interested in everything - peace talks, the Russians' use of drones to hunt civilians, what we are doing to return children abducted by Russia, and how Ukrainians organized to resist to RU aggression.

One of Hollywood's bravest hearts💙💛 If the brilliant report of the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine failed to draw attention to the cynical drone safaris on civilians that the Russians love to do, then maybe Angelina Jolie's visit to Kherson will help.

Those minutes until you find your child after the kindergarten is shelled. If you need to explain what hell is, this is it.
The world's biggest child kidnapper, Putin, hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv. There are injured children. There is a fire in the kindergarten.

I always come to Prague with joy. This time it was literally half a day. At the Forum, which Václav Havel founded, I talked about our PeopleFirst campaign. We are returning the human dimension to political processes.

Russia once again assured the UN that it wants peace, but bombed peaceful cities in Ukraine for 12 hours straight. Four people died in Kyiv, including a nurse and a patient at the cardiology institute. A whole street was destroyed in Petropavlivskyi Borshchagovka.

We have a very strange life. And a very fragile one. No one knows when it will end. That's why we value life so much - our families, our friends, our time together. Because as long as we hold back Russian aggression, we have a chance to survive. If Russia occupies us, it will kill us all.

My cat Sourcream hasn't come out of hiding since this morning. She always does this after intense shelling. Today was a record. Russia launched more than a thousand drones against us. I heard missiles flying over my house. Quite a night, to be honest.

In Kyiv, people bring flowers to a makeshift memorial in memory of the children whose lives were taken by Russia today.
Russian missiles killed 18 people, including 4 children.

We've been hearing explosions in Kyiv for several hours now. It hasn't scared me for a long time. It's just that the fatigue from constant lack of sleep is accumulating. And every time you find out who died after another Russian shelling of peaceful cities. War is a lottery.

If world leaders do not have the personal power to stop Putin, they should at least not flatter and encourage him.
His son is under the rubble. The rescue operation is ongoing. We pray.

Putin's footprint in history. When a person is unable to create something, he destroys. This is my native Kyiv in the massive Russian shelling.

President Trump continues to compliment Putin. Putin continues to destroy and kill people. The only language Putin understands is strength. It's time to change policies that aren't working.
This is my native Kyiv after the massive shelling of residential areas.

This is what Putin thinks about a peace agreement. Civilian facilities are burning. It's time to tighten sanctions because there will be no peace without force against Putin.

Our morning after another Russian attack on civilian objects and civilians. My colleagues wrote in the chat, "We have survived, so see you in the office." People are going to work. Russia, you will never break us.

Tonight, Russia damaged a world architectural monument - St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. This temple was built in the 11th century during Kyivan Rus and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Let me remind you that the Moscow state arose much later.

Kyiv is under air attack again…
Putin can’t win on the battlefield, so he tries to kill civilians and hit civilian objects. The barbarian tactic of the army that pretends to be strong, but it is weak and can fight only with families and children.
