🟩 DIPLOMACY — Security Guarantees Cannot Replace Sovereignty

In a recent interview, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the United States is prepared to finalize high-level security guarantees — but only if Ukraine agrees to withdraw from parts of the Donbas.

This is being framed as a trade.

For Ukraine, it is not.

Territory is not a bargaining chip. It is sovereign land, recognized under international law, and home to millions of Ukrainian citizens. Any proposal that conditions security on surrendering that land is not a compromise — it is a concession to aggression.

Ukraine is not negotiating from weakness. It has held the line against a larger force, expanded its strike capabilities deep into enemy territory, and adapted faster than most expected across every domain of warfare. That reality matters.

At the same time, pressure is building. President Donald Trump is pushing for a rapid end to the war, especially as global attention shifts toward Iran. Support continues — Patriot missiles are still being delivered — but even Kyiv acknowledges the supply is not enough.

This creates a familiar tension: urgency from partners, but conditions that cut against Ukraine’s core interests.

Ukraine’s position, however, has not changed.

It will not recognize occupation.
It will not surrender its territory.
It will not accept terms that reward the use of force.

Security guarantees are important. But they cannot replace sovereignty.

Peace built on territorial concessions is not stability — it is a pause before the next war.

Ukraine is not fighting for temporary arrangements.

It is fighting for its land, its people, and its future.

No surrender of the Donbas.

The US already granted security guarantees of sovereignty and territorial integrity to Ukraine in 1994 for surrendering its nuclear arsenal.

Lee Maginnity

Mark Crispin : trump reneged on that. Minerals Minerals money money.

Ed Gleason

Shall we surrender Alaska for guarantees of peace from Putin?

Mark Palid

Ed Gleason : How about surrendering Mara Lago, Trump Tower and All of Trump’s International Golf Courses for empty promises of Peace from Dictator Putin and Russia?

I wonder what the USA would do if Mexico along with the Native American took back what used to be their land. If you look at very old maps California and a lot of our southwest belong to Mexico. Most likely a lot belong to Native Americans. Should/would we give all that back! Why should anyone expect Ukraine to do that? Especially since Russia attacked (as in started this war) Ukraine.

Trump sees everything as a business negotiation, little else matters.
Zelenskyy is preserving Ukrainian Culture and sovereign territory.

Ann Tucker Bowerman

Ukraine doesn’t have to give up any of its country.

Diane M Ward

From the get-go, Trump and Putin totally underestimated #Zelenskyy! They thought he’d just roll over and agree to their measly deal! Neither Trump nor Putin are worthy of licking Zelenskyy’s boot!

The world applauds your accomplishments, innovations and successes over the past 4 years. We cry when you cry for your losses. We pray for your strength and endurance.
Stay strong and keep your sovereignty and all your land as both have been paid for by so many.
Both you, President Zelenski and Olena, are heroes of Ukraine!
Glory to the heroes! Slava Ukraini!!

Marty Cairns

Maybe Ukraine has had previous experience with broken promises – “Following Ukraine’s 1994 agreement to dispose of its nuclear arsenal, the Budapest Memorandum provided security assurances from Russia, the USA, and the UK, promising to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and existing borders, and to refrain from the threat or use of force. These assurances, while meant as a “guarantee” of safety, lacked binding security pacts”.

Ivone Cone

Zelensky do not believe a word coming from Trump or his administration! And I am American!
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

A note for our readers:

Over the past four years, something real has been built here.

What started as a place to follow the war has grown into one of the largest communities actively supporting Ukraine — a space where people don’t just scroll, but engage, question, and think.

That doesn’t happen without you.

Every comment, every share, every reaction — it all adds up. Together, this community now reaches over 60 million people on Facebook. That’s not just a number — that’s influence. That’s impact.

Because in a war like this, information matters. Truth matters. And every time you push back against disinformation, every time you help amplify reality over noise — you are doing real work.

This page has never just been about updates. It’s about clarity, accountability, and making sure what’s happening is seen for what it is.

And we’ve done that together.

The voice here is strong — and it’s only getting stronger.

Thank you for being part of it. 🇺🇦
Slava Ukraine, Glory to the heroes.

🟥 ALERT — Leningrad Region Glows After Strike

The night sky over Russia’s Leningrad Region is still lit — not by city lights, but by the aftermath of earlier strikes.

A deep red glow hangs over the horizon, visible miles away.

A reminder.

Earlier, we reported on strikes hitting critical infrastructure in the region, including the Ust-Luga terminal. Hours later, the fires continue to burn, lighting up the sky long after the impact.

This is what sustained damage looks like.

Not just the strike —
but what comes after.

There’s a message in moments like this.

For years, Russia kept the pressure on Ukrainian cities, turning night into fire and sirens.

Now, increasingly, the same reality is reaching back.

Not everywhere.
Not the same scale.

But enough to be seen.
Enough to be felt.

🟥 WARNING — Russia Preparing to Target Water Infrastructure

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a serious warning:

Ukraine has intelligence indicating that Russia is preparing operations targeting water supply systems in the coming months.

⚠️ What This Means

This is not random.

It points to a deliberate expansion of strikes against civilian infrastructure, specifically:

  • water treatment facilities
  • pumping stations
  • distribution networks

Zelenskyy stressed that every community must take this threat seriously and ensure:

  • protection of key facilities
  • readiness for disruptions
  • rapid response planning

💧 Why Water?

Targeting water systems is a strategic move.

Unlike power outages, which can often be restored relatively quickly, damage to water infrastructure can:

  • leave entire cities without clean water
  • create sanitation and health crises
  • force evacuations
  • increase pressure on already strained regions

It is pressure on civilian life at its most basic level.

Comment from :

Bill Ortis

Is it possible to target the russian water infrastructure? A water system for a water system.

Morrigan LaFae

Bill Ortis : The only problem with Ukraine taking out Russian water infrastructure is a little thing called crimes against humanity. If Ukraine starts attacking Russia like Russia has been doing to Ukraine they will lose help from the countries that are providing aid and technology. So Ukraine has to play by the rules while Russia burns everything to the ground. However, in nine plus months, Ukraine has done a lot of destruction in Russia. In one attack sent drones 4,000 km into Russian territory that caused havoc and has blown up a few Russian military Jets and they also have taken out a good chunk of Russian radar installations leaving Russia blind.

  1. “Ukraine has intelligence indicating that Russia is preparing operations targeting water supply systems in the coming months.”

    Filthy pigs.
    Do it to them first.

  2. I do not fully agree, concerning the high cost of valuable Ukrainian lives. If i only knew what these ‘security guarantees’ actually are in detail, i could get a more clear opinion on this. If they are like Budapest i would not make any concessions at all, but if they were like Nato i may agree on concessions, as any further agression by ruSSia after a deal would be catastrophic for Putin.

    • I’d disagree, respectfully. We have seen security guarantees at work. They’re too dependent on current political crap. Look at NATO and you have Trump saying the US will leave and not a word of outrage from the political class. NATO was a treaty approved by the Senate. No sir. A ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead aimed at Putin’s ass would have stopped all of this, with an added benefit of not needing to listen to that scum bag in the White House, which at times is worst then water boarding.

  3. Zelenskyy to the world: Fool us once with Budapest—shame on you. Fool us twice? Not happening 🛢️🚢🔥

  4. There is no such thing as a security guarantee that guarantees security, especially for Ukraine. This war has shown how fickle, cowardly, greedy, lethargic, and dumb this world really is. Who can be entrusted to guarantee anything?
