Army Media 🇺🇦@armyinformcomua·
🇫🇮🇺🇦On May 28, the Finnish Ministry of Defence announced its 33rd military aid package for Ukraine — equipment worth approximately €128 million. The package includes both transfers from the stockpiles of Finland's Defence Forces and weapons purchased from Finnish industry. With this latest decision, Finland's total defence equipment deliveries to Ukraine have reached €3.4 billion. Thirty-three packages. €3.4 billion. From a country of 5.6 million people sharing the longest land border with Russia of any EU member state. Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen's words deserve to be repeated in full: "Ukraine continues to need the support of its Western allies in its struggle. Russia is waging its criminal war of aggression for the fifth year in a row. Finland is committed to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes. This also strengthens Finland's defence industrial base." This is the part Ukraine never forgets. Finland knows what neighbouring Russia means. Finland knows what it costs to defend a free, sovereign country against the same imperial impulse Ukraine is now resisting. And Finland has chosen — package after package, year after year — to stand with Ukraine. Finland fought the Winter War in 1939–1940 against Soviet aggression. Outnumbered, outgunned, and outnumbered again — Finland refused to surrender its independence. The world remembers Finnish resilience for a reason. The world remembers because it deserves to be remembered. That same Finland is today one of Ukraine's most consistent and most committed defenders. From a country that knows exactly what is at stake to a country fighting for exactly the same thing. A small country with 1,340 km of border with Russia is teaching the world what real solidarity looks like. Ukraine will not forget. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini. 🇫🇮 Eläköön Suomi. — Source: Finnish Ministry of Defence, May 28, 2026 #Ukraine #Finland #Suomi #Kiitos #UkraineWillWin #UAF #FinlandHelpsUkraine

The Gripen is a collaboration between the UK, Sweden and the US, with over 30% of each aircraft built in the UK. A new deal will see Ukraine purchase 20 new jets, with at least 50 companies across the UK supplying critical components, expected to support over 5000 UK jobs.

@BelTel She’s an Uncle Tom and a Lundy. The Irish Language is a weapon used by pro-IRA, anti Protestant mobs. It is being used to ethically cleanse unionist areas of Belfast in unwanted Street naming. Linda Ervine is a republic puppet, controlled from Connolly House.

@cbclark777 @JohnSimpsonNews @rogertansey You do know Ukraine cannot be accepted into NATO until there is a permanent resolution of the conflict; that's the rules. Kissinger described Russia's relationship with Ukraine as ' neuralgic ' and warned the US don't go there. Ukraine needs security guarantees and neutrality

While the world’s attention has been on Iran and the Gulf, Ukraine has been quietly cutting away at Russia’s control over eastern Ukraine. In the last three weeks Ukraine has won back an area of more than 300 square miles.

I was proud to be the only Northern Ireland MP called to ask the Chancellor yesterday about the importance of helping people in Northern Ireland with Home Heating Oil this evening. Rather than the Chancellor meeting with me, I said I would prefer if she met with our Northern Ireland Executive and the NI Economy Minister to see how to best help Northern Ireland. I have no doubt that the Treasury will now do this- our people need help with energy now.

Queen Victoria had a granddaughter who lived into the 80s (Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone 1883-1981).... Queen Victoria, who ruled the British Empire from 1837-1901, had an enormous family, nine children and eventually 42 grandchildren spread across Europe’s royal houses. Because of that massive lineage, her influence stretched far beyond her own lifetime. One of her granddaughters, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, lived an astonishingly long life, born in 1883 and passing away in 1981 at age 97. That means someone directly connected to Queen Victoria lived well into the modern television era, overlapping with events like the moon landing, both World Wars, and the early rise of personal computers. It’s incredible to think about that historical bridge. Princess Alice herself led a fascinating life. She was one of the longest-living British royals and spent many years supporting charitable work, particularly during her time in Canada when her husband served as Governor General from 1940-1946. During World War II, she helped promote nursing services and support organizations for women serving in the war effort. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone (1883–1981) is still recognized as the longest-lived British princess by birth (a “princess of the blood royal”). Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, who married into the royal family, holds the overall longevity record for any British royal. © British History Unveiled #archaeohistories

@BBCNews The timing of frog story is strange. If she wants us to go to war with Russia then she should do an atomic pre-emptive strike rather than meat-grinding our youth. Oh! Just remembered....none of our weapons work, not even our 'super-duper' noisy vibrating tanks(steel coffins).

@JacobAck1975 @mhmck Ukraine made the fatal mistake of declaring an intention to apply for NATO membership. That was a red line for the Russians. Kissinger warned about this but the US neocons encouraged Ukraine down this path of confrontation for their own selfish ambitions.

Its so wrong! I feel bad for Ukraine they just want to live in their free sovereign country with democracy. Putin wants to take this from them. Putin is slowly trying to take each piece of land. Ukraine should be skeptical of any security guarantee since they have had deals before like mentioned giving up their nukes for security guarantees that constantly have been broken. Putin needs punished!! We should be putting max pressure on Russia and its allies. Putin definitely should not be rewarded Ukraines land!! This is appalling for Trump even considering this.

Ukraine gave up all its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the United States which turned out to be worthless. Now, Ukraine is supposed to give up its fortifications in Donbas in exchange for a security guarantee given by Putin puppet Trump. No. Just no.

@MagnaCartaPost @Currentreport1 It's not EU but sovereign Danish territory!, the Danish have an agreement as far back as 1951 allowing as many US & NATO forces to be deployed as deemed necessary to protect that northern flank. The US reduced the numbers since the end of the cold war. It's the resources.

@Man663R1399 @OlivierRimmel @ZelenskyyUa Your analysis is rooted in the past, if you share a border with a nuclear superpower tread carefully. Pick a careful path . Ukraine was free to pursue a relationship with the EU, To flirt with NATO was fatal. Real politics.

@OlivierRimmel @ZelenskyyUa No, there is another way. Gorbachev implemented glasnost in Soviet Russia, because the answer to Reagan's Star Wars bankrupt his country. Same will happen to Putin's Russia if he continues the war path with all the US/west behind Ukraine. Ukraine did it with a second rated weapon

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
There will be no simple solutions to ending this war. We understand what is happening. We understand who we are dealing with. The issue is not the difficulty of making decisions. I am capable of making them. What matters is that everything is fair and transparent. That there are no games played behind Ukraine's back. That nothing is decided without Ukraine – about us, about our future. The most sensitive things and the most difficult questions are about territories, about frozen assets. I can’t speak on behalf of European leaders about frozen money in Europe. I can only share my view, and they can support me. And about security guarantees. We count on strong security guarantees from the United States and Europe, and some other leaders. This is one of the Coalition of the Willing topics. We work on it. I think these three topics are the most sensitive and important. Our teams will continue to work on them.
