Ahead of his meeting with President Trump this weekend, President Zelenskyy named Ukraine’s "red lines" regarding compromises in peace agreements.
They concern the issue territories and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Ukraine will now legally recognize the occupation of our territories.

On December 23, Russia launched 35 missiles at Ukraine, 34 of which were destroyed by Ukraine. This represents a 97 percent success rate - an exceptionally high result for a massive missile attack.

I have zero sympathy for Western firms still operating in Russia, now worried that Putin might seize their assets. They should have left 4 years ago.

“Most Ukrainians want peace”? Yes. “Most support Trump’s deal”? No.
Donald Trump keeps telling Western audiences that “most Ukrainians” support his idea of a peace deal with Russia. But fresh polling data from Ukraine shows the exact opposite.👇
