Western leaders talk about the successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in liberating territory.

That raises a question: where exactly, and which territories?

I'm not aware of any such cases.

There are new proposals. For example, to stop strikes deep inside each other's territory.

It's obvious why that proposal is being made: our retaliatory strikes deep inside Ukraine are far more powerful, more painful, and, frankly, more destructive, causing serious consequences for the "Kyiv regime."

Overall, I want to say that these attacks on our civilian infrastructure are not carried out solely to inflict damage on us, although I believe that is also important to the enemy.

They are also intended to fuel an information campaign—or, more accurately, an information operation as part of the broader confrontation with Russia.

Their objective is to create uncertainty among us, undermine confidence in our own strength, and, ideally, divide Russian society.

They also seek to force Russia to suspend the offensive of our troops, even if only temporarily, in order to create conditions for starting negotiations on terms favorable to our opponent.

We will not give them that chance.

All of us here, but also everyone in Poland, everyone in Ukraine and in Europe, believe that Ukraine will withstand Russian aggression and that our plans for rebuilding Ukraine are not a mirage.

When we say 'together we will rebuild the destroyed Ukrainian cities after the war,' we say it because we believe it will be after the war — that it will happen, and soon, and that it is possible thanks to our solidarity.

Ukraine — and rightly so — wants to be part of a united Europe.

In Gaza, they deliberately killed our child Hind Rajab — who was waiting for an ambulance trapped in a car among the bodies of her relatives, reading the Qur'an and praying with the medic.

They deliberately killed the baby being nursed by its mother — taking aim. They deliberately killed innocent children in parks, schools, hospitals, and on shores.

Before they could even know the world, before they could understand what was happening, they martyred thousands of babies, thousands of infants whose mouths still smelled of milk.

A genocide took place there in Gaza.

The attacks are still continuing. There is no doubt that the account of this genocide will be demanded. It will be demanded. It will be demanded. We cannot neglect this.

With Allah's permission, it is this cadre that will demand the account of this genocide.

Rest assured — you are Gaza's sole hope. You are the hope of Damascus, which is rising to its feet. You are the hope of Aleppo, reborn from its ashes.

Mogadishu, Khartoum, Beirut, Tripoli of Sham, Tripoli of the West — you are their hope.

Do not forget: Nicosia is watching you. Baku is watching you. Sarajevo, Skopje, Prizren, Baghdad, Basra are watching you.

It is fully justified, legitimate, and lawful for China to take these measures, which aim at containing Japan's reckless moves of neo-militarism.

We hope Japan will turn back from the wrong path, correct its erroneous words and deeds, do serious soul-searching, and go back to the right track of peaceful development.

When the prime minister of Israel sitting in the situation room went through what would be gained and what would happen, there were members of the president's own cabinet who thought that was BS and said so.

But the president said, 'Sounds good to me.'

And that 'sound good to me' is what set us on this path to war.

America has always had two contrasting stories. One begins with the ideal that we're all created equal.

The other is based on caste, privilege, excluding people, and dominating people.

Right now we've got a president in the White House who seems to have embraced and embodied this other story.

We destroyed a plutonium reactor that they were about two weeks from bringing online.

We filled the calandria of that weapon with cement. Could never be used again.

We had cradle-to-grave restrictions on uranium… 130 additional inspectors put on the ground in Iran looking every single day, inspecting at will.

When you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don't think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.

And I think it also makes you more resilient because then, during periods like we're in right now, where for a lot of folks it's crazy and you feel despair and anger, that perspective allows you to then say, "Okay, we've gone through crazy periods like this before. We've gone through mean periods before."

It fortifies you to say that: "Yes, this has been part of the journey that we're on. There's no reason to suggest that we can't get through this one either."

$300 billion is what he is talking about using to rebuild Iran. Evidently we're going to have a Marshall Plan for Iran instead of for a lot of other countries that need it.

The money that was in our agreement was about 1.78 billion. What he's talking about giving Iranians is 300 billion.

And the money that we gave them was their money, not ours.

It came from a deal for weapons back in the 1970s when the Shah was still there.

Ayatollah actually went out on the limb supporting the negotiations…

The people who opposed getting an agreement told the Ayatollah, 'If you negotiate with the Great Satan, you will regret it.'

He took political flak for that internally.

I married a man who isn't threatened by having a smart, challenging partner.

He is not unique. There are men like that all over the place.

I happen to marry one of them, and I am grateful for it.

Every bit of this back and forth could have been avoided completely.

All the president had to do was commit that he was prepared to negotiate—for the changes that he really wanted as a result of Iran's behavior.

Obama was importuned by Netanyahu to join in bombing Iran.

And he asked for clearance by Obama to go ahead and do that.

Obama said no and refused to partake in that, thought it was an enormous mistake.
