🇺🇦Important information – please share within your networks
For those who once believed that russia might take steps toward compromise, accept a ceasefire, or genuinely participate in peace negotiations – I want to share what my city is experiencing right now.
In recent days, Chernihiv region has faced massive, targeted attacks by russian drones and missiles on critical civilian infrastructure. For several days, the city has been left without electricity and hot water.
These are not accidental strikes – they are deliberate and calculated actions. russia waited for the beginning of the heating season and colder weather to cause the maximum damage and suffering to civilians.
This is not just destruction; it is systematic terror. It is a deliberate attempt to make life unbearable for Ukrainians – a targeted attack on civilian survival.
I urge all international partners, organizations, and colleagues to share this information and to help strengthen sanctions and increase pressure on russia.
Silence and fatigue cannot become an excuse – every voice matters now.🙏

Russia continues to work to destroy the necessary conditions for life in Ukraine. This isn’t just terror, but terror as a means of depopulating Ukraine of Ukrainians. This is genocide. We have a moral and legal duty to stop genocide.
Global leaders must take a decision to oust Russia in all international forums and organisations including UN Security Council and dislodge the dictator from power which is the only pathways to bring back peace, democracy, progress of human civilisation! This is a deep conspiracy among dictators who are supporting Russia through purchasing oil, collaborate and engaging in military exercise, support all kinds of genocide and bloodshed in Ukraine all they are doing are against International Law, Human Rights!!
Nobody with a brain honestly thought Russia would negotiate Russia needs to be defeated.

I’m sorry that we haven’t been able to send enough to end this yet Yuliia.
It is encouraging though to see Ukraine systematically removing *ussian refineries and military assets, while continuing to respect international law and accept any “I Want To Live” calls / surrenders.

Beth Ballard : Thank you for your words and support. Every step that brings us closer to ending this war matters, and it means a lot to know the world is watching and standing with Ukraine.

Ukrainian Parliament ratifies 100-year partnership agreement with UK🇬🇧🇺🇦
Ukraine’s parliament has ratified the agreement on a century-long partnership between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, the Verkhovna Rada press service announced.
The document establishes a long-term framework for bilateral cooperation in security, defense, the economy, science, technology and cultural ties.
The agreement includes significant military support enhancements: London commits to providing Ukraine with at least 3.6 billion pounds sterling ($4.9 billion) in military aid annually through the 2030/31 fiscal year and beyond as needed.
This encompasses training for Ukrainian troops, pilot support, military aircraft supplies, expanded collaboration in defense production and involvement in joint expeditionary formats such as the Joint Expeditionary Force.
Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said the document strengthens London’s position in Eastern Europe, opens new markets and affirms the country’s role as a guardian of international law and democracy.
“And for the world, it’s a precedent on how to support a country that has become a victim of aggression. Not just with weapons. This document is both a challenge and opportunities. The potential benefits from such a partnership are enormous. The ‘Century-Long Agreement’ has already become a historical phenomenon that demonstrates the power of international law and friendship even in the most turbulent times. And it also provides grounds for optimism about the future of Ukraine and Britain in the family of free and successful nations,” he said.
The agreement, signed in January 2025 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, builds on prior pacts like the 2020 Agreement on Political Cooperation, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership and the 2024 Agreement on Security Cooperation between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, aiming to ensure long-term ties amid Russia’s war on Ukraine.
