I wish Zelensky stated that such a selective ceasefire is not acceptable to Ukraine. If russia can be picky about trump's proposal, so can Ukraine.

Bucha is just 15 km from my home in Kyiv. When this and other towns at Kyiv's western outskirts were liberated, I started going there on bike trips to see for myself what the russian occupiers had done. I will never forget that these towns shielded the capital from the horde.

You know democracy is in jeopardy when a government foundation terminates an earlier awarded grant because it is "repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President’s agenda". What does it matter that it was approved based on its merits?

I wonder if this horrific russian attack finally urges Trump and other US officials to clearly condemn putin's refusal to stop killing Ukrainians and start pressuring rather than appeasing him. If not, it will demonstrate that the US wants not peace but Ukraine's capitulation.

Many people in Europe and Ukraine have waited for Trump to realize that putin is not willing to stop the war and start pressuring him and providing more aid to Ukraine. Now it is clear Trump will rather increase his pressure on Ukraine. The question is, how will Europe respond?

I went to bed very late last night because of loud bangs from russian missiles and our anti-aircraft defense. When I woke up, the first news I saw were about 8 dead and 63 wounded in Kyiv & Trump's statement that the main obstacle to a peace deal is Zelensky. F"cking peacemaker.

A house in my Kyiv neighborhood that was destroyed last night by a russian missile. Less than 2 km from my home. This could have been us. God I hate russians and all those who help them kill us as they stand by or even pressure us to surrender.

Ukrainians heavily contributed to defeating nazism and now play a leading role in fighting its russian reincarnation. We will defeat that one too!

Really, nothing new. putin doesn't want to end the war, trump doesn't want to pressure putin, Ukraine doest not want to capitulate, Europe doesn't want to make it too costly for putin to go on with his invasion. Hence the murder of Ukrainians will continue. Bloody hell.

Crimea is Ukraine, and it is home of the Crimean Tatars. Only in Ukraine will they be able to enjoy their political and cultural rights. Russia, instead, discriminates and oppresses them, thus perpetuating the legacy of the Soviet deportation.

Congratulations, Romania! And thank you for your contribution to the fight for democracy in Europe and the world. Ukraine and Moldova can feel a relief. Hope Poland will follow suit. Let us defeat putin and orban together!

If you want to view, rather than read, my reflections on language and identity in Ukraine, Dmytro Khutkyy recorded this video specially for you.

Zelernsky is rightly praised for his effort to get more Western support for Ukraine. But his domestic policies partly undermine this effort. His government's decision to overrule results of a completion for the post of head of the Economic Security Bureau is shameful & harmful.

russia has declared Yale University an "undesirable organization". Recently it did so to the Association of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies. At this tempo, soon it will be possible to visit all universities and attend conferences without seeing or hearing any russians.
