The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.
Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.
“Putin is a predator, an ogre at our gates,” French President Macron warned. Calling Russia a long-term destabilizing force, he stressed Putin rarely honors commitments and seeks to redraw borders. “This is a threat to Europeans—we must not be naive,” Macron said.
President Zelensky: “The Americans asked us not to strike Russia’s energy infrastructure—shortly after, Russia launched a combined attack on our energy facilities in Kremenchuk.”
During his visit to Kyiv, British Defence Secretary John Healey’s train had to make an emergency stop after it came under a rocket‑drone attack nearby, the Daily Mail reports. Local officials said at least four people were killed in the strike that same day.
🇺🇦 “This was truly a unique operation. And now I can say: the ‘office’ for this op inside Russia was located right next to an FSB headquarters.
117 drones were used, striking 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. Our teams were safely extracted in advance."
— Zelensky
The Times reports, citing British intelligence, that Ukrainian troops killed 27 times more Russians than they lost in battles for Kupyiansk. Around 200 Russian soldiers were surrounded before Christmas, with total Russian losses in the thousands. #UkraineWar

During a meeting with Putin, the mother of a deceased Russian soldier openly admitted to abducting a child from the occupied Kherson region and taking them to Russia. Another example of a heinous violation of human rights by Russia and its people.
Despite Russia’s announced Easter ceasefire, Zelensky reports 59 Russian shellings and 5 attacks along the front.
“On Easter morning, they pretend to pause the war — but keep trying to inflict harm,” he said.
The truce? Just for show.
Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.
Russia has destroyed the last functioning power unit in Chernihiv region, The Guardian reports. The facility was hit directly, its equipment completely obliterated. Concrete walls were in place, but the roof was unfinished, and a full underground shelter would have required months of work.
"Putin cannot be trusted, he is a war criminal. He should be in prison for life, or even executed," says U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker.
"The key to lasting peace is clear: Putin must get nothing that justifies his aggression. Any rewards shows him that war pays off. If Putin decides who joins NATO or where NATO's infrastructure can't or can be, his appetite for war will only grow," Zelensky.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

Ukrainian forces have liberated the village of Pishchane in Donetsk Oblast, about 5 km south of Pokrovsk. Russian troops have also reportedly been pushed back from several nearby settlements. This is reported by spokesman for the Khortytsia Regional Administrative District Viktor Tregubov.
A joke right? While Russia bombs Ukrainian cities, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio congratulates Russians on "Russia Day" and says the U.S. remains committed to a "bright future" for the Russian people — and seeks "mutually beneficial relations" with the Kremlin.
Putin aide Yuri Ushakov called the leaked chat with U.S. envoy Witkoff “very unusual,” blaming WhatsApp and hinting someone wanted it exposed. He claimed neither side wanted the leak, but compared it to the Flynn case, suggesting Witkoff might have enemies in D.C.
Yeah right.
