Zelensky to Americans: We are fighting for your rights and values, just as for our own.

We are fighting Russians - your enemy, not your friends. We want to have this understanding in the US: we are partners. 1/
Zelensky: Victory of Putin is impossible. Because it'll be a failure of the United States as the leader of the world. 2/
Zelensky: You shouldn't force Ukrainians to do anything. They choose for themselves.

Respect for rights is our main law. Why do we fight against the Russians?

Not because they are Russians - but because they came and tried to force us. 3/
Q: Putin says Ukraine is either a Nazi regime or a hotbed of social leftism. Your response?

Zelensky: It's funny to hear this from Putin.

He came very close to the Nazi regime that dominated Europe 100 years ago with the actions of his army. 4/
Zelensky to Shapiro: You had a meeting with the main rabbi [of Ukraine]. He’s a heroic man and a father. His son is a Jew and he went to fight for Ukraine.

Would his son fight for a Nazi regime? That's not adequate what Putin is saying. 5/
Zelensky: I have Jewish ancestors. Telling that Ukrainians are Nazis and I represent a Kyiv Nazi regime - it's primitive [of Putin].

He should come up with some differing evidences, at least something. 6/
Zelensky: We have evidence of Putin’s Nazi regime: the consequences of his war against us. The deportation of Ukrainian children.

His regime is recognized by the ICC. Even old friends of Russia in the Middle East are fighting for Putin to return back our children. 7/
Zelensky: If you're not exerting any pressure on Ukrainians, if you have a dialogue with them, then you can agree on everything.

But if you start to force them or press on their dignity, Ukraine will turn around very fast. 8/
Zelensky: Most of Ukrainians who died were in the east of Ukraine.

Their families were half-Russian, half-Ukrainian, they were speaking mostly Russian.

Now the people are hating Russians, because they have brought death. 9/
Zelensky: If Putin succeeds [in Ukraine], the several leaders around the world, who have been in power for many years, will look at him and think: why shouldn't we try again? 10/
Zelensky: The Russians will always want the destruction of the US and it’s economy.

We were born in the Soviet Union, where this was a policy. Now, it’s returned by Putin. 11X

Graham: If we sell out Ukraine, Taiwan is next. If we secure guarantees that prevent a third invasion, NATO becomes bigger and stronger, and Ukraine remains free and independent.

How this war ends will shape the world for decades. 1/
Graham: I want to give Ukraine Tomahawks to hit the infrastructure Russia uses to build drones and weapons.

Change the military equation. And pass our bipartisan bill to give Trump tools to pressure countries propping up this killing machine. 2X

Zelenskyy: Putin doesn't live like ordinary people. He cannot imagine life without power. He consults Tsar Peter and Empress Catherine. He is a slave to war.

He won't let Ukraine or other European nations go. If he lives another 10 years, war can return. 1/
Zelenskyy: Putin hopes to repeat Munich 1938. It is an illusion to believe this war can be ended by dividing Ukraine, just as sacrificing Czechoslovakia didn't save Europe.

The price of a deal must not be another moment when the civilized world shifts responsibility. 2/
Zelenskyy: Ukrainians are holding the European front. Behind us stand independent Poland and the free Baltic States. There can be a sovereign Moldova and a Romania without dictatorship.

Even one Victor is growing his belly, not his army, to stop Russian tanks in Budapest. 3/

Sweden plans $5 billion aid to Ukraine in 2026. Over $12 billion pledged since 2022.

FM Maria Malmer Stenergard: "Ukraine is not only fighting for its own freedom, but also for ours. We also see Russia as a threat. This is why it is our obligation to help." — United24. 1/ Image
Stenergard: "Me and my Finnish colleague Elina Valtonen proposed full maritime ban on Shadow Fleet. Stop imports of russian fertilizers and luxury products. It's a disgrace russians can still buy European wines and clothes. We need to hit the war economy." 2/
Sweden moved from supplying stockpiled weapons to production and now supports Ukrainian production.

Stenergard: "Ukraine became so good at production, invention, and development. It's something we could also learn from. This is also an investment in our military." 3/

Chinese FM Wang Yi on Ukraine: Europe should not be on the menu, but at the table.

The war is in Europe — Europeans have every right to be at the negotiating table.

Beijing supports Europe talking to Russia.

1/
Wang Yi: I do not believe that the situation in the Asia-Pacific is becoming increasingly tense.

In fact, Asia is probably the only region that maintains overall peace.

2/
Wang Yi: The Japanese PM said a Taiwan contingency could trigger collective self-defense. This is the first time in 80 years that a Japanese leader has made such remarks.

It violates China’s territorial sovereignty and Japan’s commitments to China.

China cannot accept this.

Rubio: We want Europe to be strong. Our destinies are intertwined. The great wars of the last century proved that Europe’s fate is never irrelevant to America’s own.

The fundamental question is: what exactly are we defending? 1/
Rubio: For us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere. But we will always be a child of Europe.

Together, we rebuilt a shattered continent in the wake of two devastating world wars. The free West linked arms to defeat Soviet communism. 2/
Rubio: The UN has tremendous potential, yet on the most pressing matters it had no answers and played virtually no role.

It could not solve Gaza. It could not solve Ukraine. It took American leadership to free captives and bring adversaries to the table. 3/

In Munich, the US says it abandons the global rule-based order, but will revitalize the Western way of life (by force, if necessary)!

Rubio: The euphoria of triumph in Cold War led us to a dangerous delusion. That the rules-based global order will replace national interests. 1/
Rubio: We can no longer place the so-called global order above the interests of our people and our nations.

We do not need to abandon the system of international cooperation we authored. But these must be reformed and rebuilt. 2/
Rubio: We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline.

We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history. 3/
