There is no one for whom the ongoing war in Europe does not pose a threat. This war defines more than just the place of Ukraine or entire Europe in the world. This is Russia’s war against any rules at all.
But how long will the world let Russia be like this? This is the main question today.
Please, everyone in the world, do not ask Ukraine when the war will end. Ask yourself – why is Putin still able to continue it.
Let’s not fear Putin’s defeat and the destruction of his regime.
Let’s instead – work together to destroy what he stands for. It is his fate to lose, not the fate of the rules-based world order to vanish.
And may our world, based on rules, never become the world of yesterday.

Today, I send my deepest condolences to Aleksey Navalny's staff and supporters who will continue his work, despite Putin’s attempts to stamp out opposition.
And above all, to his family who shared Aleksey's dream of a better future for Russia.
May God bless Aleksey Navalny.
In Moscow, people bring flowers in memory of Navalny to the Wall of Grief - a monument to the victims of political repressions.
Police are supervising. Similar situations in other Russian cities. Russian Telegram channels reported that in some cities, people were detained or told to go away.
Russia: Putin's gestapo is especially targeting journalists. RusNews journalist Yulia Petrova arrested as she was reporting in Moscow on the repressions against people mourning Alexei Navalny after he was murdered in prison by Putin.
Dear Yulia, I feel your pain, as a wife & mother.
The death of your husband Alexei Navalny is not only a tragedy for your family but a loss for all of us who believe in freedom & justice.
In this moment of profound sadness, know that you are not alone. Our hearts are with you.
Navalny’s blood, like the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and so many others, is on Putin’s hands.
Congress needs to vote for the aid that will stop this monster.
Another courageous critic of Putin and the Kremlin dies.
This is what dictatorship looks like.
This is what Ukraine is resisting.
This is what America must resist.
This is why democracy is so important.
Let’s make no mistake, Putin assassinated Navalny. He did so because Navalny was brave enough to stand up to Putin. He did so because Navalny offered the Russian people and alternative to kleptocracy and repression. This is a tragic day for Navalny’s family but also for Russia
Dans la Russie d’aujourd’hui, on met les esprits libres au goulag et on les y condamne à la mort. Colère et indignation.
Je salue la mémoire d’Alexeï Navalny, son engagement, son courage. Pensées pour sa famille, ses proches et pour le peuple russe.
⚡️ Germany is preparing a new aid package for Ukraine worth €1.1 billion - #Scholz
It will include 36 howitzers, 120,000 shells, missiles for IRIS-T, and 2 Skynex air defense systems.
In Paris, President @EmmanuelMacron and I signed an agreement on security cooperation between Ukraine and France.
This document confirms France's unwavering support. France will provide €3 billion in military assistance to Ukraine in 2024, and will continue to support our country for the next ten years.
The agreement enshrines France's key security commitments to Ukraine and prioritizes security cooperation in the military, political, financial, and humanitarian spheres.
I thank the French government and people for their significant support for Ukraine and for standing up for freedom.

My heart breaks for Navalny’s family, and for what Russia has become.
Our final interview, just before the invasion of Ukraine: time.com/6140102/alexei-nava…
BREAKING: The Biden campaign just released this ad demolishing Donald Trump for his un-American comments regarding NATO and Russia. Retweet to ensure every American sees.
Alexei Navalny's message to the Russian people in case he is murdered. Recorded in 2022 before his return to Russia:
Never give up. The only reason Russians live in a dictatorship is because individuals do not realize the sheer collective strength of the people.
