✅ Desiring peace is a matter of common sense, not a sign of weakness. No one in Ukraine will ever accept the loss of Ukrainian territory. Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, made this statement during the 18th annual Kyiv Security Forum, which was held under the theme “Darkness or Dawn: Is There Light Ahead?”

Kyiv Security Forum (KSF) is an annual international event launched in 2007 on the initiative of Arseniy Yatsenyuk Open Ukraine Foundation.

UkraineWorld is a multilingual media about Ukraine. We try to make Ukraine better understood around the world

Our goal is to explain Ukraine, its politics, culture, history, and struggle, to the international audiences. We are doing this work in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. We give you regular analysis of the major developments in Ukraine, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We also tell the stories of people, of their suffering and of their courage.


We travel a lot across Ukraine, including in the frontline areas, to get firsthand knowledge about Ukrainian resistance and Russian crimes. We also combine information work with volunteering as we engage into regular trips to help Ukrainian civilians and defenders.

We produce texts, podcasts, videos, books, and infographics. We also maintain a network of journalists and experts interested in Ukrainian issues, known as UkraineWorld Group.

UkraineWorld is brought to you by Internews Ukraine, one of the most reputable Ukrainian media NGOs.

We try to become sustainable through crowdfunding:

    “If we are weak, no one will talk to us.”

    I know exactly what he means.
    Krasnov behaved like a tinpot third world ruffian when he stabbed Zel in the back in the Oval Office. Ukraine-hating nazi VanZkov twisted the knife.
    But at least it finally revealed openly the type of putrid scum that Krasnov is and that Ukraine will have to win in spite of, not because of the bloated old piss stain.
    Should Zel step down, Budanov will be a better candidate than Zaluzhnyi. He is much less divisive than Zal and more inspiring.
