💀The terrorist state must feel what war is. We are working to ensure that as many russian military facilities, logistics hubs, and critical components of their war economy as possible fall within the reach of our weapons.

Currently, our drones are making this possible, and I thank everyone in Ukraine who is involved in developing and producing drones, as well as those working on our missile program. I also extend my gratitude to our state’s foreign policy team, who are persuading our partners that long-range capabilities are key to ending this war.

With our drones and missiles, we can accomplish part of the missions. But true peace – a real end to this war – is a complex task. To force russia into peace, to move them from deceitful rhetoric about negotiations to taking steps to end the war, to clear our land of occupation and occupiers, we need effective tools.

Borrell: EU has found a way to circumvent Hungary's veto on support for Ukraine.

The European Union has developed a legal workaround to circumvent Hungary's veto on arms purchases for Ukraine using the proceeds of russia's frozen assets this year. This could also remove obstacles for the G7 to disburse $50 billion to Ukraine.

According to the EU's chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, since Hungary abstained from the previous agreement to set aside the proceeds of frozen russian assets, it "should not be involved in the decision on how to use this money."

Borrell added that the workaround is "complicated, like every legal solution, but it works." The loophole will be discussed by EU foreign ministers on June 24 in Luxembourg.

✅ The study, prepared by the visual communications agency Top Lead, has already helped to present Ukraine's needs at the UN Climate Change Conference and is used by the International Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of War.

Heads of state, ministers, and heads of relevant international organisations receive information about environmental damage and restoration needs from this study.

International law requires environmental protection during hostilities, classifying significant damage as a war crime. Yet, without effective enforcement mechanisms, holding perpetrators accountable is improbable without russia's consent, which is unlikely to be granted.

■ Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other

⚡️The Global Peace Summit should become a significant step towards ending the war and establishing a just peace for Ukraine. We believe that it will be a significant step towards ending the war and restoring a just peace. Because we do not need just any kind of peace, we need a just peace," the Head of the Presidential Office noted.
That is why, according to him, the Peace Formula proposed by the President of Ukraine is based on international law. Andriy Yermak emphasized that russia's war against Ukraine affects every person in the world.
🌾"Because it's about our grain, about the environment, about the Zaporizhzhia NPP occupied by Russians. And, for example, the issue of POWs is not only a Ukrainian issue, and it cannot be resolved through traditional diplomacy," explained the Head of the Presidential Office.

New embassies are also planned to open in three more countries, namely, Tanzania, Cameroon, and Sudan.
In addition, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has held over 20 meetings with African leaders, and Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba has conducted 35 negotiations. The MFA of Ukraine has developed the first-ever Communication Strategy "Ukraine - African States", which is already being implemented by our diplomats.
Further, Ukraine is actively working on exporting agricultural products to the countries in the region.
We have already delivered over 200,000 tonnes of grain to 8 countries under the " " humanitarian program.
We strive to strengthen diplomatic, cultural, economic, and other ties with African states and will continue to develop mutually beneficial partnerships.

Constant pressure on russia - sanctions and political. Our work to end terror must be comprehensive.
⚡️russia's full-scale war against Ukraine affects the whole world.
Its attacks on agriculture endanger global food security. Burned-out grain, destroyed equipment, killed animals, and mined fields — those are the consequences of russia's actions. We must unite and stop the terrorist state from blackmailing the world.
Food security is a crucial part of the Peace Formula.
⚡️ Despite all the cruelty of russian shelling, the world can prove that the unity of all those who value human values is enough to protect life. Ukraine constantly repeats that russian terror can be stopped, the lives of our cities and communities can be protected. We know what real opportunities our partners have.
⚡️ Remember, the reason why all missiles are not shot down during night attacks is the lack of air defence capabilities," the Air Force said.
"We have to manoeuvre our available forces and means to repel attacks, as the enemy often uses both drones and missiles from different points and launch sites," the AFU spokesman said.
⚡️Put to stop the evil and prevent its crimes from spreading across the continent.

The National Electronic Mass Media Council of Latvia (NEPLP) blocked access to 9️⃣ websites within the country that have been identified as spreading russian propaganda.

Authorities assert that these sites propagate distorted and false narratives regarding russia's actions in the war against Ukraine, including attempts to justify alleged war crimes.

Additionally, the spreading of hate speech and content aimed at discrediting Latvia and NATO has been observed.

The council underscores the potential psychological impact of consuming such information, highlighting the potential for anxiety and fear among segments of the population regarding the stability of the state, their own future, and that of their families.
