One of the best segments ever on public radio, co-produced and pitched by the ever-talented @GalileeDTX. Proud to have worked on @RadioWorldview for 3.5 years. wbez.org/shows/worldvie…

Наш козак! На цих чудових стрічках ми зростали — велика кількість неймовірних фільмів, які формували нас, дарували посмішки та підтримували у важкі моменти. На змагальному тижні Олімпійських ігор я також дивився фільм із паном Стіллером в одній з головних ролей. У ті дні, коли відбувався увесь хаос, пов’язаний зі скандалом, мені неймовірно приємно було побачити підтримку від цього легендарного актора, і я йому дуже вдячний за це. Але ще більш вдячний за солідарність з нашою країною, за підтримку людей, які постраждали від війни. Сьогодні мав честь вручити від себе частинку нашої української культури панові Стіллеру 🤝🏻 @BenStiller — Our Cossack! We grew up on these wonderful films — a great number of incredible movies that shaped us, brought smiles to our faces, and supported us in difficult moments. During the competition week of the Olympic Games, I also watched a film featuring Mr. Stiller in one of the lead roles. In those days, when all the chaos surrounding the scandal was unfolding, it meant the world to me to see support from this legendary actor, and I am deeply grateful to him for that. But I am even more grateful for his solidarity with our country, for his support of the people affected by the war. Today, I had the honor of personally presenting Mr. Stiller with a piece of our Ukrainian culture 🤝🏻 @BenStiller

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 HRL identifies Russian state-owned companies Gazprom and Rosneft involved in transport and indoctrination of 2,158 children from Ukraine since beginning of full-scale invasion. This is the first definitive public proof of the companies' involvement in Russia's systematic campaign of child deportation and indoctrination. 👉 Read our latest report here: files-profile.medicine.yale.edu/documents/6859…

⛽️Russia’s war is fueled by one thing above all else: oil money. That’s why multiple U.S. administrations from both parties have doubled down on sanctioning Russia’s oil sector. But those sanctions are not guaranteed to remain. Right now, the Trump administration is considering lifting these sanctions to save Americans a quick buck. If that happens, billions of dollars could begin flowing back into the Kremlin’s war machine almost overnight. That money would fund more missiles. More drones. More deaths. The United States is already the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. We built that capacity so Americans would never have to depend on foreign dictatorships for our energy needs. Weakening sanctions on Russia’s oil industry would do the opposite — sending billions of dollars back to the Kremlin and helping finance its war. That is why public pressure matters. When Americans speak up — when they call their representatives, write letters, and raise their voices — policymakers pay attention. Sanctions save lives. Your voice can help keep them in place.

@senduckworth The U.S. is the world’s largest energy producer. We built that strength so we wouldn’t depend on dictators for our energy. Lifting sanctions on Russia’s oil sector would send billions back to Putin’s war machine. Keep the sanctions.

"He wants to be helpful," President Trump says regarding his conversation with President Putin and Iran, despite reports that Russia was providing intel to Iran on US military targets.

As Tehran was being pounded by U.S. and Israeli bombs on Saturday morning, its top diplomat dialed Moscow’s number.  On the other end of the line, according to an official Russian statement, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov offered his Iranian counterpart sympathy and promised his — verbal — support. Iran, thus, became the latest country after Syria and Venezuela to feel firsthand what partnership with Russia does, and doesn’t, mean.

It’s been the honor of my life to serve as Washington Post bureau chief in Ukraine. ❤️‍🩹

🚨 Putin is again playing games with President Trump. Just four days in, he broke his promise not to strike Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Last night, Russia carried out the largest air attack on Ukraine’s power grid so far in 2026, leaving civilians in Kyiv and other cities without heating, electricity, and water amid freezing temperatures. This clearly shows Russia’s true intentions. Putin is not interested in peace and is deliberately creating a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The United States must stop listening to his empty promises and respond with strength and resolve.

In a recent op-ed, Oleh Kotsyuba of Harvard University’s Ukrainian Research Institute compares the current protests in Minneapolis to Ukraine's 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity, noting similarities in both the staging and spirit of both events. kyivindependent.com/heres-why-minn…

@robertamsterdam This you? Using a photo of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada for your propaganda? You’d think a peddler of manipulated media could spot his own handiwork.

Outrageous if accurate. Using churches as staging areas is unacceptable and must not be tolerated by the international community!

Don’t know what to answer to people who say that Zelenskyi is “persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”? I did some research, spoke with people from the pro-Ukrainian part of the UOC and from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, and made this thread for you. 🧵Let’s roll:

‼️We are troubled that the Trump administration is pressuring Ukraine to accept a punishing deal under duress. If the Trump administration follows through on its threat to withhold weapons purchased by Europe and end intelligence support, the White House will embolden Putin, endanger the rest of the free world, and prolong the war, not end it. We call on friends of peace in Congress and leaders across the United States to urge publicly and privately that any deal to end the war must include ironclad guarantees for Ukraine — and to insist that the White House take into account the will of Ukraine’s democratic society. Read our full statement:

As a Nobel Peace Recipient, I welcome President Trump’s plan to increase military aid to Ukraine. Sending Tomahawks would demonstrate to Putin that he would never occupy Ukraine and it is time for him to Stop this War. When facing an aggressor, peace is built through strength. A timely and decisive step ahead of the Nobel Peace Prize announcement.

In today's @nypost printed edition: Ukraine has done a lot to fight back. President Trump, stand with the Winners 🇺🇸🇺🇦

I’m from Donbas. I remember Ukrainian songs in school. I remember books, not bunkers. Don’t tell me we were “always russian.” I was there. We lived. Then russians invaded.

@MustReadAlaska Let’s think about this critically for just a second. Why would I hand my business card clearly identifying me, claiming to be someone I’m not?

That massive flag? It was brought up by Outside groups to Alaska. This was not just a grassroots protest in Anchorage -- they had lots of USAID NGO help. mustreadalaska.com/nyc-based-razo…

Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC.

Let’s think about this critically for just a second. Why would I hand my business card clearly identifying me, claiming to be someone I’m not? Ukriane has overwhelming bipartisan support. I was attending the Trump rally and reached out to GOP leaders to talk in good faith.

“Abp: Alexei: I go to Russia. I try to go yearly, and it's a great benefit to my priests and my seminarians, because when they come to go to Russia, they say, I've been home.” Putin: Always feel at home.” This speaks volumes about the OCA’s relationship with Russia. #orthodoxy

Putin is going to have to walk down a row of F-22 Raptors ahead of his meeting with Trump. What a show of strength!
