And remember the Minsk agreements made Russia promise to respect borders
OTD in 2009 Russia reaffirmed commitment to the Budapest Memorandum signed 15 years previously.
Which is why you can trust us on the "peace deal" now proposed.

Remember: Trump or Russian propagandists might say otherwise, but Putin is not winning, and the Ukrainians are not losing.
I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

In a landmark vote, the UN adopted a resolution condemning these abductions and demanding that the children be returned to Ukraine.
We will continue our efforts until every child is safely home.

This war started in 2014 when the U.S. helped overthrow Ukraine's democratically elected Govt and that's when they lost their sovereignty.
Russia was intentionally provoked over many years and the plan of the U.S. and the West was always to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

Russia isn’t just rewriting history — it’s teaching millions of children to hate the West.
They’re lessons from Russia’s official school textbook — the same one forced onto 1.6M Ukrainian children under occupation.

Your regular reminder that anyone calling Ukraine a proxy is ignorant or disingenuous. Ukraine has held back Ru military aggression for 11+ yrs completely alone; secured moderate Western aid since 2022 through tireless advocacy; and has now defied US diplomatic pressure to surrender for over 10mo.

The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”
