Russia is much further from reaching its strategic goals in Ukraine today than it was in March 2022, when it controlled far more Ukrainian territory.

Russia still doesn’t control any regional capital or special-status city.

What an abysmal strategic failure!

Had any of us been told in March 2022, when Russia occupied almost 30% of Ukraine and was close to Kyiv, that Russia would occupy only 20% four years later, we would have seen it as a massive Ukrainian success and a Russian failure

Peace is not cheap. It is priceless.

Since the start of Russia’s aggression, the people of Ukraine have been paying the ultimate price for their freedom. Europe remains resolute in supporting them for as long as it takes.

Dear President Zelenskyy, welcome back to the #EUCO.

Russia attacked Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Kherson regions, injuring people.
Even on days when Russia doesn't launch massive attacks on Ukraine, it still continues attacking on a smaller scale, injuring and killing people, destroying homes and infrastructure, inflicting daily terror.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Kateryna Borsynska, a teacher from #Odesa, was killed by Russia last night together with her husband Valentyn.

Their bodies were found under the debris of a residential building Russia attacked.
Deepest condolences.

Russia will report that "all military targets were destroyed."

"Neither Berlin, Paris, Brussels, and especially London want any peace in Ukraine at all," Lavrov said.

Are they the ones who attacked Ukraine? Are they the ones who are killing Ukrainians? Are they the ones who are disrupting peace talks?

The last thing Putin wants right now is pictures of him and Zelensky shaking hands. That was not what his suggestion about negotiations in Turkey on Thursday was about. What Russia wants is low-level negotiations that can go on for months and delay Western decision making.

Spoke with Mark Carney to congratulate him on his election.

It was the perfect opportunity to reaffirm the strength of the 🇪🇺🇨🇦 bond and the many opportunities that lie ahead.

We discussed how to build on the success of CETA and agreed to explore deeper cooperation on defence and economic security.

The Department of Central Planning and Child Rearing has figured out the optimal number of dolls and pencils each child should have to make beautiful Republic.
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

One thing that terminally boring Presidents don't do is announce an absurd policy, cause chaos, then back down to something less absurd. They think at least a couple of steps ahead, and just implement the not-absurd policy.
