Why three candles together?

A traditional Ukrainian three-candle holder (Svichnyk-Triytsia), symbolizing the Holy Trinity.
Used on major feast days, it was a sacral object, not decoration.

The three flames lit together were believed to bring protection, harmony, and blessing to the home.

Good meeting in Berlin tonight.

We are seeing real progress thanks to the alignment between Ukraine, Europe and the US.

There needs to be a shadow WH press corps who follow the official press corps and ask them why they refuse to hold Trump and Leavitt to account.

Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline.
We are cutting it.

Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels.

We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month.

Wow. Amid horrific news of a shooting at Bondi Beach, this looks like a truly astonishing act of courage.
Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.
