85h of defence.Intimidation of 🇺🇦 is imprudent. Its impossible to break our defenders,moreover its impossible to make the Kyiv lay down arms.The times are difficult,but it will pass.🇺🇦 will win.We’re already winning.Therefore, we advise the occupiers to go home. It's not too late

72 hours of resistance! The world didn’t believe. The world doubted. But we did not just stand, we confidently continue to fight with russian occupant!We showed the world - don’t be afraid 🇷🇺, be strong & repel it! Support of 🇺🇦 must be more stronger! Your safety depends on us!
🇷🇺is preparing to launch an info&psycho operation.Its goal is to break the resistance of🇺🇦ppl&army. At 1st,they can arrange a breakdown of connection.After-the spread of massive FAKE messages that 🇺🇦country leadership has agreed to give up.We’re in Kyiv!No surrender!Only victory!
Good evening,we’re from Ukraine🇺🇦
The President,country's leadership,members of the government-all work,in their places.We know how sad its for 🇷🇺.I recommend every russian soldier to follow a russian ship before its too late. BTW 🇺🇦 will accept 🇷🇺 capitulation with understanding
HIMARS have arrived to Ukraine.
Thank you to my 🇺🇲 colleague and friend Lloyd J. Austin III for these powerful tools!
Summer will be hot for russian occupiers. And the last one for some of them.
This is more than partnership of state officials - this is true brotherhood.
🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲
A new era of air defence has begun in 🇺🇦. IRIS-Ts from 🇩🇪 are already here. 🇺🇸 NASAMS are coming. This is only the beginning. And we need more. No doubt that russia is a terrorist state.
There is a moral imperative to protect the sky over 🇺🇦 in order to save our people.
Month since the beginning of largest war of 21th c.🇺🇦 wasn‘t conquered in 3 days.🇺🇦 will never be conquered.Heroic 🇺🇦army will demilitarize 🇷🇺invaders.War criminals will be held to account. International support will continue.Peace will be restored. World will be safe.Glory to 🇺🇦
Decided to learn a new profession and become a member of the Gepard crew. I love cats 😁… and hate cockroaches.
66224. That's how many men returned from abroad at this moment to defend their Country from the horde. These are 12 more combat and motivated brigades 🇺🇦! Ukrainians, we are invincible! #FightLikeUkrainian
#UAarmy’s autumn offensive, day by day. While the "russian parliament" is intoxicated from the futile attempts at annexation, our soldiers continue moving forward.
This is the best answer to any and all "referenda", "decrees", "treaties" and pathetic speeches.
All Ukrainian, you are great heroes! Today you are protecting the whole world! I’m Ukrainian and i’m proud of that! I’m proud of all our people 🇺🇦 #FightLikeUkrainian #StandWithUkraine
Panzerhaubitze 2000 are finally part of 155 mm howitzer arsenal of the Ukrainian artillery.
I appreciate all efforts of my colleague 🇩🇪 #DefMin Christine Lambrecht in support of 🇺🇦.
Our artillerymen will bring the heat to the battlefield 🔥🔥🔥!

A "flagship" russian warship is a worthy diving site. We have one more diving spot in the Black Sea now. Will definitely visit the wreck after our victory in the war.
BTW, I already have 300 scuba dives
It's time to face the truth and legally recognize russia as a terrorist state. As Ukraine and Latvia have already done, and Estonia is preparing to do. Be brave like Ukrainians!

My personal salute to #NAFOfellas. I’d like to thank each person behind Shiba Inu cartoon. Your donations to support our defenders, your fight VS misinformation is valuable.
I’m changing my profile picture for a few days. Cheers

More M270 MLRS arrived in Ukraine. Thanks to and all the 🇬🇧 people! Your support is amazing and so important for Ukraine. Our #UAarmy will skillfully use this "replenishment" at the battlefield.
P.S. More “gifts” will arrive soon.
Look who’s here!
NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine!
These weapons will significantly strengthen #UAarmy and will make our skies safer.
We will continue to shoot down the enemy targets attacking us.
Thank you to our partners: Norway, Spain and the US.
Ten months ago, in WDC, I asked for Stingers 4 #UAarmy & heard "It's impossible."
Many times.
Today, rus Su-30 jet was shot down by 🇺🇦 Stinger in the Kharkiv region.
So...the impossible is indeed possible.
Thanks to our partners.
We will win! 🇺🇦

President is in the war zone. This is what courage and dedication looks like.
No «deep concern» from the West will stop the Ukrainians on their way to Victory. No bunker, however deep it is, will protect the russian war criminals from punishment.
Our courage will never be destroyed by terrorist's missiles, even when they hit the heart of our capital. Nor will they shake the determination of our allies. The only thing they demolish irriversibly is the future of 🇷🇺 - a future of a globally despised rogue terrorist state.
They wanted to freeze us and throw us into darkness. We survived!
Today is the first day of spring.
Life, light, love defeat death.
Ukraine will win.

They can only do harm"

Poland. This is not a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is the reality we've been warning about. We were asking to close the sky, because sky has no borders. Not for 🇷🇺 uncontrolled missiles. Not for the threat they carry for our EU&NATO neighbours. Gloves are off. Time to win.
Kyiv. One of the most beautiful cities in EU today looks like a frame of apocalypse movie.Sumy,Kharkiv,Mariupol-its terrible.This’s what the 🇷🇺world carries with it:deaths of ppl,destruction not only cities but democracy,rights,freedoms.They arent Slavs.They’re orcs.But we’ll win

Today we celebrate the Day of the National Flag 🇺🇦.
Blue - for the sea and the sky.
Yellow - for fields and the sun.
Blue & Yellow - for love, peace, hope and freedom.
Demilitarization of russia.
By using hundreds of high-precision missiles against civilian objects of Ukraine, the aggressor state reduces its ability to strike the military targets. Two conclusions:
- russia's military defeat is inevitable;
- russia is a terrorist state.
A momentous meeting at . True friends of 🇺🇦 who stand with us have come together to support us in the battle for freedom and democracy.
Grateful to for his leadership.

For so long we’ve called on the world to call a spade a spade.
Slowly but but surely, the world is finally realising the truth.

Its only indicative estimates.But it illustrates well the situation of the occupier.The enemy is demoralized,he’s in agony.The occupiers are firing on civilians because Ukrainians with weapons are too strong for 🇷🇺.🇺🇦will win.The whole world with us cuz their safaty depends on us

For years, russians have been writing «to Berlin» on their cars & tanks. On this grim anniversary, a destroyed russian tank is displayed in front of their Embassy in Berlin - a symbol of their failure.
Thanks to the 🇩🇪 people & to my colleague Boris Pistorius for supporting 🇺🇦!
In Ukraine Taras Shevchenko is celebrated as a national poet and prophet. He is one of Ukraine’s best-known symbols of the struggle for independence and freedom.
For good reason:
It was a pleasure to take the first Ukrainian Challenger 2 MBT for a spin.
Such tanks, supplied by the United Kingdom, have recently arrived in our country.
These fantastic machines will soon begin their combat missions.

I congratulate the warriors of the Territorial Defense Forces! It’s your day today! It was an honor for me to sign an order on the mass issuance of weapons to Ukrainian patriots on Feb 24. This saved Kyiv and Ukraine. You saved our land. And that's why we will win. I salute you!
Eastern Ukraine is holding on & fighting.
The heroic defense of Bakhmut continues for several months. This is a new legendary page in the history of our struggle & defense of Ukraine VS the rus killers and invaders.

Lithuania and the whole Lithuanian people stand with Ukraine. Not just in words. is the first foreign defence minister unafraid to come to Ukraine in person since February 24. Who's next? 🇺🇦🤝🏻🇱🇹

russia’s shelling of the prison in #Olenivka is Ukraine’s Katyn. The torture and killing of 🇺🇦 prisoners of war is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. russia is an intransigent terrorist state that must be defeated on the battlefield.
While the UN Secretary General is visiting Kyiv, a permanent member of the UN Security Council - russia - is launching missile strikes on the city. This is an attack on the security of the Secretary General and on world security!
