"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get.
This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively.

I will repeat the facts once more:
Russia is a terrorist state.
Putin is a war criminal

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP

Andrius Kubilius, the European Commissioner for Defence Industry and Space:

“There are 450 million Europeans. We should not be crying out for 340 million Americans to defend us against 140 million Russians, who are not even able to defeat 38 million Ukrainians.

"Russia is the aggressor, Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin!" - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Friends,

May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines.

Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin:

"No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

▶

President Zelenskyy:

"Ukrainians defend what's theirs. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The #Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is.

▶

President Zelenskyy:

"It is absolutely obvious that Russia is actually trying to fool the world - fool America& others -prolong the war further. That's why pressure is necessary…Yesterday's meetings in Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what's going on."

▶

Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News:

◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone.
◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

President Stubb:

Some of the international media might wonder, "Why is the President of Finland here?" I think the reason is probably that we might come from a small country, but we have a long border with Russia, over 800 miles⤵️

▶

President Zelenskyy:

When Russia raises the issue of security guarantees,I honestly don't know who is threatening them yet.They attacked us, they’re on our land.I don't quite understand what guarantees the aggressor needs.Guarantees of what?

▶

Macron:

“But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”

What we lived through in Kyiv in the early hours of the morning today.

Sound on.

▶

Lavrov:

The Russian army never strikes at civil society and the civilian population.

Liar. Warmonger. Criminal.

▶

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:

"There will be no normalization of relations with Russia when the war is over. That will not happen. That will take decades because there is a total lack of confidence…even if the war comes to a conclusion, the Russian threat is still there."

Putin suggested holding direct negotiations in Turkey on May 15.

President Zelenskyy with his team arrived in Turkey.

Putin is absent. Instead, he sent a non-representative delegation with no decision-making mandate.

Does Putin want to achieve peace and stop the war? The answer is obvious - no
