Zelensky: We're fighting in transition to World War III.

Russians admit their memorandum was an ultimatum. Orban is making a serious, historic mistake by not supporting Ukraine.

Ukrainian delegation doesn’t have a mandate to discuss Ukraine’s territory. 1/ Image
Zelensky: The world’s leaders can wonder how much more Ukraine can endure, but we expect the world to stop Putin. No one should just sit and wait.

We are fighting in a situation that very much appears to be a transition to World War III. 2/
Zelensky: Russians in Istanbul told the Ukrainian delegation: We know that our memorandum is an ultimatum, and you will not accept it. 3/
Zelensky: Our delegation doesn’t have a mandate to discuss Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is our own constitutional matter. 4/
Zelensky: Viktor’s [Orban] policy is anti-Ukrainian and anti-European.

He wants to turn the war in Ukraine to his own advantage for the elections. Viktor is making a serious, historic mistake. 5/
Zelensky: Putin wants to occupy Ukraine, to eliminate our independence. It’s not about buildings, it’s about the pain for Ukrainians.

He doesn’t want to destroy our cities, he wants to destroy the Ukrainian nation and statehood. 6/
Zelensky on sanctions: Western partners list the reasons why they have not made a decision, and one of them is that Ukraine has not mobilized from the age of 18. 7/
Zelensky about mobilization: We can mobilize 27,000 people per month, while the Russians can mobilize 40–50,000, because their losses are greater. 8/
Zelensky: In eastern Ukraine, and especially in Crimea, there was illegal distribution of Russian passports, “passportization,” even before the war, and they spread their own narrative via TV, radio, and newspapers. 9X

Kellogg: We haven’t had an American president since Abraham Lincoln who’s done what Zelensky’s doing.

He’s fighting a war of national survival, on his own soil, for sovereignty. You have to appreciate what they’re facing. 1/
Kellogg: We built a team. Been to Jeddah, Riyadh, Paris, London, Istanbul — twice.

Took Ukraine’s term sheet, Russia’s memo, merged them. Goal: comprehensive ceasefire. Air, land, sea, infrastructure. 2/
Kellogg: Their defense minister [Umerov] told me: ‘You’ve asked me the same question many times.

No shooting means no shooting.’ That’s what a ceasefire is. That’s the objective. Сeasefire in place. 3/

Russia is militarizing for war with Europe. Putin told his generals: The new state armament program must focus on developing the most advanced weapon systems.

Putin: Modern weapons now make up 95% of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces — the highest share among all nuclear powers. 3/

The Economist: Taiwan no longer counts on America to defend it.

For decades, Taiwan’s plan was simple: survive 1 month of Chinese attacks until U.S. forces arrive.

Now, after Trump’s stance on Ukraine, Taiwan is planning for a lonelier, longer war.

1/ Image
Taiwanese officials fear Trump’s message: small countries shouldn’t expect help. It hits close to home.

He’s mocked Taiwan’s ability to fight China before — and said little about risking U.S. lives to defend it.

2/
China has studied Russia’s failure in Ukraine. They now believe Taiwan must be crushed fast — before the world can intervene.

But Taiwan is flipping the script: delay China, outlast the blitz, buy time.

Zelensky: Trump criticizes me? If it brings us closer to ending the war, I’ll take it all in stride. He’s chosen his strategy. I’m not here to judge. 1/ Image
Zelensky: Russia hopes sanctions won’t be imposed during negotiations. Trump must impose them now. That’s the only way Putin will say: “Let’s talk about ending the war.” 2/
Zelensky: The biggest mistake was introducing sanctions on Russia too slowly. That gave Putin time to adapt, especially in the defense sector. 3/
