'It is in America’s strategic interest that Ukraine defeats Russia. It will also solve European security problems for the next 50 years. And it won’t require a single NATO Soldier. It only requires our political Will and Industrial support.'

'Russians dropped a bomb on a hypermarket in Kharkiv.'

'Today, Russians dropped a bomb on a hypermarket in Kharkiv. It's a Saturday. There was a huge number of people there.

My friend, who lives in Kharkiv, posted this photo and wrote: "At such moments, I feel that our international partners have betrayed us."

I don't understand why, when Russian planes drop bombs on peaceful cities, our international partners forbid us to use the weapons they gave us to hit military airfields in Russia.

How else can we protect people? How many more civilians have to die for the international partners to change their minds?'
