No. This is the failed "meet evil halfway" negotiation standard. Any leverage that can expel Russian invaders from Kherson will also work for Mariupol, Luhansk, and yes, Crimea. Putin doesn’t need or deserve an inch of Ukrainian land. Invaders aren’t entitled to spoils.

Today in Italy, one of the topics of our discussions with President Sergio Mattarella was a critical issue – the return of Ukrainian children who were abducted by Russia. These are thousands of our children who have become victims of illegal deportation, forced displacement, and detention in temporarily occupied territories. They are enduring horrific trials that should never have been part of any childhood. We are fighting for each and every one of them. In 2024, under the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, Ukraine managed to bring 449 children back home. We are grateful to everyone around the world who supports and contributes to this work. We must save every abducted child – every invaluable life. #BringKidsBack

When Mariupol encountered the fascist Russian plague. Never forget, never forgive.

Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Two soldiers, though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine. This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine. I am grateful to the soldiers of Tactical Group No. 84 of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as our paratroopers, who captured these two individuals. As with all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers are receiving the necessary medical assistance. I have instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to grant journalists access to these prisoners. The world needs to know the truth about what is happening.

@ManiamAkash Nope. I’m waiting for the movie “Death of Putin” instead. Hoping for a 2025 release 😃

Why does anyone want this movie?

Garry Kasparov, chess grandmaster and a russian dissident, is one of the very few russians actually gets it. "The war in Ukraine has shown us that when we celebrated the fall of communism in 1991, we failed to grasp that communism was merely a facade for an underlying imperialist matrix. Whether it's the tsars, the Bolsheviks, or Putin, this imperialism always finds a way to emerge. I've been saying for the past three years that there's only one way to dismantle this imperial matrix: the Ukrainian flag has to fly over Sevastopol again. What they fail to recognise is that you cannot negotiate with this kind of evil for a simple reason: Putin views this as a war of destruction, not a war for territorial gains. Giving him a piece of Ukrainian territory won't change his calculations — it will only whet his appetite. His ultimate goal includes the destruction of Ukrainian statehood because Ukrainian statehood is one of the pillars of this world order he seeks to dismantle." Source: Kyiv Independent

@NYurtsaba Very sorry for your loss 😞

My dad died this afternoon. Here we are on his 86th birthday. This morning, I went to help with him and I wore his vyshyvanka from Lviv. His last words to me were, "You're a dandy." He was the best father ever. He'd deny that, but he truly was. He was my best friend

The strain on Ukraine’s society is immense. And yet. Social cohesion remains satisfyingly strong. There are challenges, but they are manageable. This war is a trigger of unity, and the task is to maintain it long-term. Somehow, no matter the hardships, people choose optimism 🧵

@virtaava Hyvää syntymäpäivää

So, 48 today—time flies!

@MissionArtist @allisonhare Very sorry to hear that Corby 😞

@allisonhare Thank you Ally, I appreciate it Sad news though My house did burn down today I lost everything

From everything I've heard my house in has burned. There's a very slight chance that it was randomly spared, I haven't been able to confirm it's gone. 😞

SBU report now on Volya Radio twitter.com/i/spaces/1DXxy…

How long will the world keep watching, tolerating, and trying to ‘understand’ Russia’s feelings while it keeps killing Ukrainians every day? Glide bombs hit Zaporizhzhia. Don’t look away—this is a modern European city, like any other.

@SaintLaurant @atrupar 💯- USA used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave to most of the civilised world. Today it looks more like the world’s most powerful (nuclear armed) circus

@atrupar We must look like a country of stupid people to the world. And that's correct, we are. The voters who voted that criminal back in office are just that.

Well, that was fucking crazy. Congrats America.

Biden never ever wanted Ukraine to be in Nato. None of the Washington elite establishment ever wanted Ukraine in Nato. Because of Russia's war on Ukraine, now Finland has run into Nato's arms, which means Russia brought Nato to the suburbs of St. Petersburg. And why the f*ck does Russia get to dictate what countries are in what alliances, especially European countries that have been escaping Moscow's vile grip for centuries?

Nothing demonstrates better that Zelensky has become a tremendous leader than his self-control in the face of such demeaning, morally vacuous lines of questioning. The rage and horror must be overwhelming. Superhuman.

So… what can you do with a nuclear bully?
1. Provide protection to the victims
2. Punish escalation with escalation 🧵1/7
