Zelensky's command of English has improved dramatically, but he's still the same guy he was in 2019. The same guy, who was denied a chance to sit in this room, because he had refused a quid pro quo. History works in mysterious ways, but good always prevails in the end .🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲

This is Vuhledar. 🇷🇺 is once again using a scorched earth approach to move forward. This isn't some "liberation". Their war is a war of destruction and conquest. This is Vuhledar, not Warsaw or Riga only because we, 🇺🇦, choose to stand firmly in their way.

Bakhmut still stands and for those of you, who ask why keep defending it the answer is simple:. If we fall back - the invaders don't jus magically disappear. They regroup and another town becomes Bakhmut. Or Mariupol. The only way to lower the cost for 🇺🇦 is weapons, not retreat
