❗️🇺🇦 Democracy in Ukraine remains alive even despite the war, — Zelensky

"Criticism exists, and the fact that you know about it testifies to a living democracy in Ukraine."

At the same time, the president acknowledged that in times of war, the rights and freedoms of citizens are limited, but unlike Russia, where one person decides everything and everyone suffers, in Ukraine there is an opportunity to criticize the authorities.

Ukraine’s 429th Achilles Brigade recently struck five Russian Pantsir-S1 self-propelled air defense missile and gun systems on the Belgorod axis.

Ukraine’s 422nd Separate Regiment strikes two Russian locomotives in Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region. The strike targeted railway assets used by Russian forces in the occupied part of the region.

Zelensky responded to Trump’s refusal to help Ukraine counter Iranian drones, saying “Rhetoric is rhetoric. The main thing is that we know what we are doing.” He also thanks the United States for enabling Ukraine to purchase weapons including HIMARS and Patriot missiles.

❌ Eight EU countries are calling for a ban on entry to the Schengen area for all Russian participants in the war against Ukraine.

The leaders of Germany, Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden have urged the EU to take measures to prevent Russian citizens who took part in the war against Ukraine from entering the Schengen zone.

This was reported by DW, citing a letter addressed to the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission.

The signatories note that Russian combatants pose a threat to EU security, “in particular due to serious crimes, the activities of organized criminal networks, extremist movements, and hostile state activity as part of Russia’s hybrid actions.”

They also state that Russia has sent more than 180,000 convicted criminals recruited from prisons to fight against Ukraine. As troop rotations and potential demobilization continue, the number of people with recent combat experience seeking to travel abroad could increase significantly, the letter warns.

Zelensky says the United States and several Gulf countries have asked Ukraine for support, including capabilities to counter drones. He also says Russia is an ally of the Iranian regime and warns lifting sanctions on Russia would be harmful.

🇺🇦 Ukraine has received requests from the US and Gulf countries for help in protecting against Iranian drones, — Zelensky

Kyiv has been asking the international community for weapons, missiles and air defense for four years, and now other countries are turning to Ukraine for help in protecting against Iranian "shaheds".

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked during an interview with Radio France if he does not feel a sense of revenge due to such a striking turn of history?

The President of Ukraine replied that Ukrainians were shocked by the development of events in the Middle East and must help in this situation:

💬We have received requests from the US and some Gulf countries for support, in particular, regarding the possibilities of combating drones. My first reaction is simple. For us, this is a matter of protecting the civilian population.

We remember the first days of the war, how long we had to wait for first aid. But we no longer react to events. We came to help. 💬

Zelensky also expressed condolences to the family of a French soldier who died in an Iranian attack on a NATO base in Iraq and offered France's help in combating drones.

The President of Ukraine replied that he would like Ukrainians to remember him positively, since he is a "man of the people" and has a "heavy responsibility" on his shoulders:

💬I am doing everything possible so that we do not lose this war. I hope that we will defeat Russia. And the fact that we are holding the front line is already a victory...

We will see how future generations will remember me. But I believe that my children and grandchildren, who will remain to live in Ukraine, will remember me. This is important.💬
