@yeahcurious @ZelenskyyUa @AlsisiOfficial This is great to hear😂What's alarming? Zelensky didn't even respect the Olympics How the hell Vadislav avoid the draft😂 Women dying on the front lines, defending him a young, strong, but conscienceless man. War for him is a way to make good money Shame on him and Zelensky

@ultranancy @ZelenskyyUa @AlsisiOfficial That statement is so ridiculous I’m not even going to comment further except to say, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

I spoke with President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi @AlsisiOfficial. The President informed me that Egypt will no longer accept grain exported by Russia from our temporarily occupied territories and is, at the same time, interested in increasing imports of grain from Ukraine. I am grateful for this decision. Egypt is also ready to contribute to achieving a dignified peace. We agreed that our foreign ministers will remain in contact. We discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf, as well as its impact on the global oil market. I updated the President on our meetings and agreements with countries in the region. Ukraine has significant potential for military-technical cooperation, and we are ready to work in this direction with Egypt as well. We also went over other areas for developing bilateral cooperation between our countries. We will continue working on this.

We finished one more project and delivered equipment to Ostap and his comrades in the Da Vinci Wolves @VovkyDaVinchi 🐾 This fundraiser was supported by the Ukrainian community. UCU Alumni organized the Vyazanka event, and together with everyone who joined and donated, we raised $4,566. Ostap from the Da Vinci Wolves studied at the Ukrainian Catholic University himself, so this one felt personal on both ends.

@dzygaspaw @VovkyDaVinchi More incredible achievements from Dzyga’s Paw. What a wonderful organisation benefitting the armed forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦. Congratulations to you all at Dzyga’s Paw

@Microinteracti1 @shaunking I totally agree with the French 🇫🇷 on this.

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing. His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.” This is the same man who called joining Trump’s war “buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.” The French are not holding back.

@front_ukrainian @CerebralWisdom He’s a bloody idiot. NATO has survived and excelled for more your than Kellogg has been alive. I can’t see Australia 🇦🇺, Japan 🇯🇵, South Korea 🇰🇷 etc joining anything trump wants to set up.

❗️Keith Kellogg proposed creating a new military alliance instead of NATO with Ukraine's participation The former US Special Representative for Ukraine has criticized NATO, stressing that the organization needs to be replaced. He claimed that NATO has shown itself to be "cowardly" during the conflict with Iran. “But they proved this week, when the time really came and it was critical, that maybe we need a new NATO, a new defense structure. There are ways to do this. It’s in the treaty. I would use Article 13: ‘We give you one year, and then we leave this. We will reformat the defense alliances we have.’” Instead of NATO, Kellogg proposes an alternative: “Perhaps create an alliance with Japan, Australia, and those European countries that are ready to join the fight, like the new Germany or Poland, and even Ukraine, which has also proven to be a good ally.”

It’s fantastic that President Zelenskyy has stayed in touch with Pope Leo who is the head of the Catholic Christian Church. Dialogue between leaders of all different faiths and non is especially welcome and needed in this troubled World at the moment. Happy Easter to all that celebrate this wonderful time of the year.

I spoke with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex today. At the very moment of our conversation, the Russians attacked Ukraine yet again – hundreds of “shaheds” and dozens of missiles against our cities and communities. In fact, the attack has been ongoing in waves since last night, and at least five regions have already been targeted. Not a single hour of peace for our people, and this is Russia’s response to our proposal for an Easter ceasefire. Essentially, the Russians have only intensified their strikes, turning what should have been silence in the skies into an Easter escalation. This certainly cannot be ignored, and I am grateful to everyone in the world who does not remain quiet about it. I spoke about the negotiation process and our work with the American team. I also expressed gratitude for the assistance in returning our abducted children and for all the humanitarian aid the Vatican has provided to our people, particularly during this difficult winter. We also discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. I wished His Holiness and all those celebrating Easter this Sunday a blessed holiday and peace. Of course, we would be glad to welcome His Holiness to Ukraine on an apostolic visit. And I am especially grateful that the Pope remembers Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, and prays for peace for our nation.

😮 Libya has provided bases for Ukrainians to attack Russian ships According to RFI, Ukraine has set up bases in Libya to launch attacks on Russian vessels. The Ukrainian contingent, including more than 200 officers, is stationed at three sites, including an airbase in Misrata and the Mellita area. Ukraine has already attacked Russian ships twice in the Mediterranean: the gas carrier Arctic Metagaz and the tanker Qendil. An agreement on the presence of Ukrainian military personnel in Libya was signed in October 2025. Russia has accused the Dbeiba government of supporting Ukrainian forces with the involvement of British intelligence services.

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

@Gerashchenko_en If Russia were to attack a NATO member, the U.S., under Trump, would likely not lift a finger. NATO allies should stop pretending otherwise and start planning for a U.S. that either walks away or simply stands still. The warning signal is already here.

@Gerashchenko_en He'll find a way to do it if he wants 🤷 and the Congress will do diddly-squat to stop him!

@Gerashchenko_en The “Manchurian Candidate” doesn’t have to formally withdraw the US from NATO. All he has to do is to create uncertainty about the commitment of US within the NATO alliance and his job is done. 🪆🌮

Recently, President Trump publicly said that the United States doesn't "have to be there for NATO." US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to directly confirm the US commitment to Article 5, saying that it is up to President Trump to decide. Europe will likely have to realize that the moment when it finds itself facing its problems alone is much closer than it seems. I've tried to look at possible scenarios and critical vulnerabilities for Europe in case the US withdraws from NATO. From a legal point of view, the US withdrawal from NATO is a slow and complex process: under Article 13, it takes at least one year after notification. Additionally, starting from 2023, the US president cannot do this alone - a two-thirds majority in the Senate or an act of Congress is required. But the problem is that even without a formal withdrawal, Washington can already significantly weaken NATO politically, militarily, and psychologically. And that's exactly what is happening. At the same time, Europe is no longer where it was ten years ago: defense spending is rising rapidly. But this still does not replace the United States. Key dependencies remain - nuclear deterrence, command and control, intelligence, logistics, long-distance transport, missile defense, and ammunition stocks. There is no strategic autonomy yet. ◼️Scenario 1. Shock without withdrawal. Most likely, Trump will not formally withdraw the US from NATO. Instead, he undermines the Alliance through threats, humiliating allies, and doubting Article 5. NATO does not collapse, but begins to crumble from within due to mistrust. In this scenario, Europe frantically rearms itself but still counts on the American security umbrella. And for Russia, this is an almost perfect window of opportunity: not for a major war with NATO, but for sabotage, cyberattacks, provocations in the Baltics and the Arctic, and strikes against critical infrastructure. Moscow's goal is to prove that NATO is incapable of acting. ◼️Scenario 2. A de facto withdrawal without a de jure withdrawal. This is the most dangerous scenario: The US formally remains in NATO but effectively undermines the Alliance from within - reducing its presence, stalling decisions, and making security guarantees conditional. This is something Trump could do, as it does not require a complex legal procedure. For Europe, this is the worst kind of uncertainty: NATO seems to exist, but whether it is capable of acting is unknown. For the Kremlin, this is also very convenient, especially if Russians are confident that the US will not respond. ◼️Scenario 3. The formal withdrawal process is initiated, but resistance emerges in the US. Trump attempts to turn threats into legal action. And this is where the resistance begins: the Senate, Congress, the courts, some Republicans, Democrats, the Pentagon, and the foreign policy apparatus. Formally, NATO will remain in place for at least another year. But the strategic blow comes sooner: the very initiation of the procedure undermines the basic assumption that the US remains the reliable core of the Alliance. ◼️Scenario 4. Europe becomes independent. This is a forced adaptation. Europe accelerates its rearmament, integration, and joint production. NATO does not disappear, but becomes less American: the US weakens as a political center, while Europeans become more influential. The problem is that this transition is slow and dangerous. The money is already there, but command, production, and nuclear gaps cannot be closed quickly. ◼️Scenario 5, the worst one: A crisis within NATO coincides with a Russian strike. Moscow is not waiting for the Alliance to collapse. It needs only a moment when trust in Article 5 has vanished, and Europe hasn't yet had time to get stronger. Then, rather than a major war, there will be a limited strike aimed at causing a split: sabotage, a cyberattack, or an attack on infrastructure. The goal is not necessarily to seize territory. The goal is to demonstrate that NATO is incapable of responding quickly, unanimously, and decisively. ◼️For Ukraine, the consequences are direct. Any erosion of the US role in NATO simultaneously reduces the predictability of support for Kyiv, increases the burden on Europe, and strengthens the Kremlin's temptation to expand the war as a tool to pressure the entire European order. The question of NATO's reliability directly affects Ukraine. It is a question of whether Europe can adapt quickly and maintain political stability and unity in the face of a real threat. Finally, it is worth mentioning President Trump's claims to Greenland, which, in light of his intentions regarding NATO, add further grounds for concern.

The Russian air force has another "accident". As the Russian Ministry of Defense reported a Russian Su-30 jet crashed today in Russian-occupied Crimea, Ukraine. This comes only two days after a Russian An-26 transport plane crashed not far away, killing 29 on board including the commander of the Northern Fleet's mixed aviation corps. Earlier, Russian channels reported that a Su-34 crashed in Russia, killing the crew.

@Tendar All good news! 😂
