Last night, Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out a unique operation targeting the naval base in Novorossiysk – the last major stronghold of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, more than 300 kilometers from the front line. Our Palianytsia jet-powered drones, Neptune missiles, and [ 网页链接 ↗ ]

We have Russia's internal polling data showing that the number of people who want this war to end is already increasing. This must become even more apparent. So that Putin, his administration, his FSB henchmen, and everyone else understand equally well: peace is the only option. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]

Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero [ 网页链接 ↗ ]

Today, the Air Force is much more than just one branch of the military. It is a component of our defense that, in many ways, truly shapes the course of this war. Ukrainians did not surrender – and will not surrender – their skies to Russia. That is one of our nation's greatest [ 网页链接 ↗ ]

Of course, we see every leader and every country that responds to Russia’s strikes on Ukraine. But the only strong and just response – the one that truly achieves its goal and helps people – is additional support for our state. The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
