Fitting to be in Geneva at the ICRC today, the 81st anniversary of the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism and the 198th birth anniversary of the man who ensured better care for wounded soldiers and established legal protections for medical personnel on the battlefield.
MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦@MFA_Ukraine
On this Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II, we honour millions of people whose lives were taken by this war, as well as those who defended the world from Nazism. World War II became one of the most terrible tragedies in human history. Millions of Ukrainians served in various armies of the anti-Hitler coalition and took part in underground resistance, as our land became the site of major battles and immense human suffering. World War II took the lives of more than 8 million Ukrainians. The year 1945 did not bring lasting peace to Ukraine – in another totalitarian regime, the Soviet Union, repression continued. Today, Ukraine is once again forced to defend its freedom and the security of all Europe against Russian aggression. The memory of World War II should serve as a call for responsibility and determination to defend a just and lasting peace.

Thank you @NateMook for briefing on @AllHandsHearts' partnerships with @Ukrzaliznytsia, @WCKitchen in Ukraine. In particular, I was moved by the Invincibility Trains which offer heat, internet, and food to thousands without power due to Russian missile strikes.

Russia has aided Iran through intelligence sharing, drone technology, and tactical guidance. Innovations Russia refined in Ukraine are now reshaping Iranian strike patterns. This partnership has become a defining feature of the emerging axis arrayed against the United States.

People in Chernihiv warmly welcomed me recently, literally into their homes, to tell their stories of shelling and torture but also defiance and survival. Putin could end his war of aggression and the killing of 16 year old boys today.
Oleksiy Goncharenko@GoncharenkoUa
The Russians attacked the city of Chernihiv killing a 16-year-old boy and wounding 4 people. Reportedly, 7 houses were damaged with 3 more destroyed as a result of the strikes. During the attack an administrative building and an educational institution were hit.

Today at @PACE_News I exposed how sanctioned Russian state actors like VTB and Sberbank are using proxies and debt to seize control of critical raw materials producers like ERG and Kazzinc, which supply cobalt, zinc & other minerals vital for defense, batteries & modern industry

Serving on the Helsinki Commission was one of the defining chapters of my 45 years in the House.
As I gathered with past and present Members & staff of the commission, we were reminded that democracy’s survival is never inevitable; it requires vigilance, cooperation, courage, and above all, action.

President Stubb:
“I would prefer in the long run to see Ukraine in NATO. You know, I know for political reasons some people have problems with that. But let's think about it really serious. The Russian threat is not going away. So what then gives us comfort? In my mind, it's Ukraine.”

I'm sure it will surprise most of you that Russia actively covers up the cracks in its so-called "economy."

Sweden has intelligence that Russia is systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy withstood the strain of its lavish war spending and western sanctions, head of Swedish military intelligence Nilsson said. ft.com/content/04a9d0…

Thank you to Rabbi Yonhatan Markovich, Director Rosa Tapanova, and @USEmbassy Kyiv for the powerful visit to #BabinYar, one of the largest single-location massacres of Jews during the Holocaust. Each generation must commit to sharing their memory and the promise of "never again."

Thank you @USEmbassyKyiv for facilitating my attendance at last month’s @opora event on organizing democratic elections in Ukraine. I was particularly interested in the robust discussion on safeguarding the right of active-duty service members to vote and to run for office.

No genocide--not in Ukraine, not in the middle East. Not by them, not by US.

Ukraine will receive €1.4 billion from windfall profits generated by Russian Central Bank assets frozen under EU sanctions.
The assets stay blocked, but the interest they earn can be used to help Ukraine.
For a strong Ukraine in a secure Europe.

Ukraine's next elections will likely be as existential as any it has ever organized. Thank you to Oleksandr Korniyenko and the colleagues who walked us through the steps Ukraine is taking to ensure they are free and fair.
