Evening sets over Kyiv . Our first dinner gives testimony to the resolute determination of this nation to stand firm and not to give in, although there is also a growing realization of the magnitude of the challenge ahead in a long and brutal conflict.

What’s the logic behind bombing shopping centers? Probably to destroy the living conditions for the population and force them to leave.

The air and missile strikes in aren’t random. The pattern of them is clear: destroy the industry and the infrastructure. 264 enterprises, 270 bridges and 22 oil depots have been destroyed in addition to 45 million m2 of residential space. And strikes are continuing daily.

This guy - I’m talking about the PM of - is beyond repair. Accusing in a speech to parliament my wife of stealing millions from shows that he’s gone off the rails. He’s a tragedy for what is a very fine country.

Enormous lines of trucks and cars at the border today. We counted 32 km of trucks on the side. And waiting time is now five (5!) days. This is distinctly damaging to both economies.

Certainly reason to celebrate tonight 🇪🇺 , but we should remember hard fights in the 🇪🇺 councils some years back with those even refusing to put on paper that is a European country. We prevailed, the Eastern Partnership was set up and here we are. @sikorskiradek 

Happy Midsummer!

This old lady from the Kherson region has a story to tell about the occupation forces.

Last night saw massive missile and air strikes against targets also in western and largely from bases in Belarus. Tu22M bombers fired heavy missiles.
