Ukraine's Defence minister Fedorov: Our strategy is working. Russia lost 35,000 troops in December: killed or severely wounded, verified on video.

Our goal is 50,000 confirmed losses per month. Unable to win on the battlefield, Russia attacks civilians and infrastructure.

1/
Fedorov: We came not only with needs, but with solutions and data. Ukraine can offer NATO real battlefield experience and defense tools.

We’re ready to contribute to shared security — and urge tougher sanctions, including stopping Russia’s shadow fleet and tankers worldwide.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin: Russia’s war against Ukraine is criminal aggression, and Russians can love their country while supporting Ukraine’s defense. 1/ Image
Buterin: Two arguments are used to justify the invasion — Russia’s right to block NATO expansion, and claims that Russian speakers in Crimea and Donbas needed protection. Neither explains launching a full-scale invasion in 2022. 2/
Buterin: NATO expanded because countries feared Russia after Moldova (1992), the two Chechen wars (1994–2000), and Georgia (2008). In 1991, 51% of Crimea and over 80% in Donbas voted for Ukrainian independence. 3/

Zelenskyy for The Atlantic: Ending the war is also a path to success for Republicans. The most advantageous moment for Trump is before the midterms.

Yes, Trump wants fewer deaths. But if we’re honest, it’s also a political victory for him.

1/ Image
Zelenskyy: There is no greater victory for Trump than stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine. For his legacy, it’s No. 1.

2/
Zelenskyy: I’d rather take no deal than force Ukrainians to accept a bad one.

Even after four years of war, we’re ready to fight on for a dignified, lasting peace. Ukraine is not losing.
