Will never understand the stupidity of leaving the EU. 'Thick' refers to Brexit and not necessarily to the voters, who were lied to. Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Every night when going to bed I think about the brave Ukrainian soldiers holding the line in the trenches for all of us. Heroes.

From First Lady to First Lady: shameful!
Like sending death camp survivors back to their captors.
Ukrainian refugees will be sent to Russia under Melania Trump’s ceasefire

I often get asked if I would consider leaving Ukraine for a while, just to be somewhere safe. And no, I don’t want to.
I don’t really know how to explain it. Imagine a tree. Its roots are here, in the place where it grew, where it has its family, friends, memories, and everything familiar. Now imagine pulling that tree out of the ground, taking it somewhere else, and planting it in a completely different place. That’s how it feels to me. And honestly, I don’t want to leave.
I don’t think you can fully imagine what life in Ukraine is like, so let me give you a few examples.
When we need to see a doctor, we ask each other for recommendations. Someone knows a good doctor, someone else has already been there, and we share that information. If your car breaks down, you ask around until someone connects you with a good mechanic. If you need a new roof, you ask your friends, who recommend someone they trust.
And we do this with almost everything. Sometimes it feels as if we’re one big family, all connected through people we know and people they know. I can’t even imagine living any other way.
I’ve grown so accustomed to how quickly we can solve so many problems in a single day. And I don’t know what people in other countries imagine when they think about Ukraine, but let me give you another example.
If my child gets sick and needs an X-ray or other examinations, I can often get everything done on the same day. I can go to a hospital and be seen right away. If that doesn’t work, I can go to a private clinic, where things can move very quickly. Even urgent and complex test results can sometimes be ready within a day or two.
We’re used to being able to act quickly, adapt, and get things done. We’re used to finding solutions, helping each other, and moving forward, even when life gets complicated.
I don’t know if I’m ready to leave all of that behind and start building a life in another country.
I’ve chosen Ukraine consciously, for as long as I can remember. I was born here, and this is where I’ve always wanted to live. The thought of moving permanently to another country has never really been part of my plans.
Of course, I want to travel. I want to see the world, discover different cultures, learn about other traditions, experience different dances and music. I find all of that fascinating.
But travelling and living somewhere are two different things.
I want to see the world, but I want my home to be in Ukraine💙💛

THE WORLD ORDER WE KNEW IS GONE.
The rules haven’t officially disappeared. The institutions are still there. The treaties still exist.
But the assumptions that held the system together are falling apart.
That international law would protect sovereignty. That alliances meant something. That economic interdependence would prevent major wars. That the world’s most powerful democracies would defend the very principles they spent decades promoting.
We are entering a world where military power matters more than promises, where security guarantees are increasingly questioned, and where smaller nations cannot afford to rely on someone else’s goodwill.
And perhaps the most uncomfortable lesson is this:
Peace is not the natural state of international relations. It has to be defended.
The question is no longer whether the old world order is changing. It’s what will replace it. And who will get to decide.

UK goes big as U.S recedes into the darkness of the Russian world.
Britain has announced its largest-ever financial support package for Ukraine – £10 billion ($13.3 billion) in additional economic and military assistance.
Announced today by Chancellor John Healey, the package includes:
- £7 billion in economic support over three years, including World Bank guarantees and grants.
- £3 billion in additional UK export finance capacity, prioritizing military support.
- £500 million in urgent military funding to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses this winter.
The announcement brings Britain's total commitments to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion to £35 billion ($46.5 billion).
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor Healey informed President Zelensky ahead of the announcement. Zelensky responded: "You've made my day."

Unbelievable losses by the Russians
Russian casualties from Ukrainian drones have passed 300,000 since January 1. That is roughly 1,000 a day, every day, for almost ten months.
Every hit is recorded on video in DELTA and verified by @BRAVE1ua. No month has dropped below 26,000, and March peaked at nearly 34,000.
Every Russian soldier stopped by a drone is one who never reaches a Ukrainian position. Verified hits earn units points for more drones, EW systems and UGVs through Brave1 Market.

Somewhere in Ukraine,
Someone is making coffee, falling in love, laughing at a joke.
And somewhere else,
Someone is saying goodbye forever.

Today, the UK government announced the allocation of an additional £10 billion in aid to Ukraine.
This British assistance does not simply help Ukraine continue its fight. It is an impulse of resilience at a time when the enemy is trying to force Ukraine to capitulate through terror against peaceful cities. This is support that truly saves Ukrainian lives.
I am grateful to Prime Minister @andyburnham , His Majesty's Government and all the people of the United Kingdom for their principled stance and concrete actions within the framework of our strategic partnership. Thank you for standing alongside Ukraine in the fight for freedom, security and a just peace🇬🇧🇺🇦

The one thing I told a Ukrainian lady in the summer of 2022 at our Hub, was that no matter what of the three traditional political parties were in power, all would support Ukraine.
We have had six Prime Ministers in that time, and all have thankfully proved me right.
I and many Brits would like to see us do more. But, in a World of truly previously unimaginable geopolitical developments, it means a lot to me personally, and I’m sure I speak for all our volunteers, that we are seen as a trusted friend of Ukraine.
🇺🇦🇬🇧
🇬🇧🇺🇦 UK is committing an additional £10 billion in aid to Ukraine: £7 billion will go toward economic support over the next three years, and £3 billion will back export support, focused mainly on supplying essential weaponry.
Thank you UK!
Also two things: First, in a troubled world where some Western democracies turn on their allies, and on democracy itself, while others cling to realpolitik refusing to face the reality, the UK is proving to be a true reliable ally.
Second, the pro Farage-Russia bots are outraged, pushing hard to convince people to be isolationsts. But the victor of this war will determine whether Europe faces peace or war, prosperity or ruin.
Supporting Ukraine is not only the right moral choice, it is an investment in Europe’s future, peace, security, and prosperity .

I have yet to see a female podcast that discusses anything besides sexual degeneracy.
Hailey Bieber says sex with a third person might sound exciting, but she believes a threesome with Justin, would destroy the trust they spent years building.
“It’s funny because I feel like those ideas can be really fun and, like, sound really exciting.”
“It doesn’t work for the two of us.”
“Some people are in, like, open relationships and, like, it works for a time, but I feel like in the end it always doesn’t end up working.”
“So I think the second you make the decision to do that, there is never going back from that.”
“We worked very hard to, like, be in the space that we’re in now and, like, trusting each other and there’s, like, such a beautiful trust and bond that I just don’t think that’s something I would be comfortable with.”
“I could ask him about any person, any past girl, anything and he’d be like, ‘Oh yeah, like this this this and this.’”
“And I think that made me trust him a lot because I’m like, ‘There’s nothing I don’t know.’”

Low-energy Trump claims that “there’s a lot of progress” with Russia and Ukraine, adding that a meeting between Putin and Zelensky will be set up “very soon.”
Same old BS from Trump for the past two years, while Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians every single day.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The UK will provide Ukraine with an additional £10 BILLION in support.
🔹 £7 billion in economic support over the next three years.
🔹 £3 billion in UK export support, including for essential weapons.
This comes ON TOP of Britain’s existing annual assistance to Ukraine.
Thank you, Britain, for standing with us. Your continued support means so much!

This is pure evil. Russia has no respect for ANY life, even the most innocent.
russian terrorists attacked with an FPV drone an animal shelter in Kramatorsk, causing a fire on the second floor of the building where many cats were located. After the firefighters arrived to put out the fire and help evacuate and collect the animals, a russian drone was waiting in the sky… after which it crashed into the fire truck as well.
Throughout the full-scale war, this shelter served as a refuge for stray animals and people with pets. The animals that were inside during the strike were carried outside, but some of them ran off into the surrounding area and got lost due to the explosion and shock.

Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to UK prosperity and security.
That's why this Budget is providing over £10bn in additional support to Ukraine.
ThickAsBrexit retweeted
I had a great conversation with the UK Prime Minister @AndyBurnham, and we are grateful to Britain for its unwavering, strong, and truly leading support. Today, Britain made a strong decision to provide an additional £10 billion in financial support – £7 billion in economic support over the next three years, and another £3 billion in British export support, primarily for the supply of much-needed weapons that will strengthen our protection of lives. This is on top of the annual support Britain already provides to Ukraine.
A truly strong and very timely step – coming right as Russia needs to see and feel that Ukraine will not be left alone to deal with the problems Russia is so eager to escalate. Every step to strengthen Ukraine brings Russia closer to realizing that it must end this war of its own making.
Of course, Andy and I also discussed sanctions policy, and Britain will remain principled on this – setting an example that matters globally.
I am grateful to Britain, to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his team, and to every person around the world who understands that standing with Ukraine is the right thing to do – that it means being on the right side of history.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 ZELENSKYY SAYS HEGSETH IS HOLDING UP AIR DEFENSE MISSILES EUROPE ALREADY PAID FOR
Ukraine is waiting for critical Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the obstacle is now inside the Pentagon.
According to Zelenskyy, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has gone nearly a month without approving deliveries of air-defense missiles already financed by European allies.
These are not requests for additional American funding. The weapons have been paid for, but Ukraine still needs Washington to authorize their transfer.
That distinction matters enormously.
Patriot systems are among Ukraine’s most important defenses against Russian ballistic missiles, while NASAMS helps protect cities and critical infrastructure from aircraft, cruise missiles and other aerial threats.
Delays in interceptor deliveries can force Ukrainian commanders to make increasingly difficult decisions about which incoming threats to engage and which locations receive priority protection.
The accusation also puts Hegseth’s public remarks in an uncomfortable light. A week earlier, he had wished Ukraine “success,” even as Zelenskyy now says essential deliveries were awaiting approval.
The Pentagon’s explanation for the alleged delay, including whether it reflects administrative procedures, competing military requirements or a policy decision, remains unclear.
For Ukraine, however, the immediate concern is not the language of diplomatic support. It is whether the missiles needed to intercept Russian attacks actually arrive.
Europe has committed the money. Zelenskyy says the American authorization is still missing.
