Thanks to @United24media for this opportunity to unveil the inner workings of @MFA_Ukraine’s team led by @andrii_sybiha, show how our wartime diplomacy differs from one of peacetime, and give reporters a little tour around our building at Mykhailivska Square, 1, in Kyiv.

When it comes to negotiations, Ukraine has made its position very clear. We're not hiding from negotiations; we are trying to achieve them. But Moscow refuses to come to the negotiation table. And the latest letter by President Zelenskyy to Putin illustrates this better than anything else. So we are not the target audience for calls for peace negotiations. The target audience is in Moscow, and we would suggest directing those messages there.

Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha is working very actively now to restore some of the Russian individuals that have been taken off EU sanctions lists by the Orban government. And this needs to be, actually, an issue of closer scrutiny. Like why this happened? What they got in exchange? If Orban is not there, then let's put those Russians back on the lists. Everyone already heard about Mr. Gundyayev, also known as Patriarch Kirill. But it's not only about him, but also about some other “big fish”.

Thank you, Amb Jan Braathu @OSCE_RFoM for your continued solidarity with Ukrainian journalists. As Russia continues to wage its war of aggression against Ukraine, Ukrainian journalists continue to document its consequences, expose war crimes, and counter disinformation. Many have paid a high price for this work, including those who remain in Russian captivity. We appreciate your continued advocacy on their behalf.

Following the incident involving a sea drone found near the Greek island of Lefkada, the Ukrainian side expresses its gratitude to Greece and the Greek people for their steadfast support of our country since the very first days of Russia's full-scale invasion. Ukraine highly values its friendly relations with Greece. As current challenges to international and regional security, particularly maritime security and the activities of Russia’s "shadow fleet” constitute shared concern of both Greece and Ukraine, Ukraine emphasises its commitment to the norms of international law and the principles of civilian maritime safety, noting its interest in preventing similar occurrences in the future. In this respect, the Ukrainian side expresses its apologies for the incident stressing that it was the result of circumstances brought about by the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The Ukrainian side is convinced that this incident, much like similar occurrences in other regions, demonstrates that Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine poses a threat not only to our country but also to neighboring friendly states, Europe, and the world at large. Ukraine remains committed, along with Greece, to further deepening friendly relations between our two countries and developing a constructive dialogue in all areas of mutual interest.

On the incident in the port of Constanța, Romania: Ukraine’s Navy @UA_NAVY informed the Romanian side in a timely manner of a naval drone that had lost control because of Russian jamming. Both states’ relevant authorities have been in close touch since then, took control of the situation, and made sure the area was safe. Such effective coordination allowed to take necessary measures to prevent harm to civilians. This incident shows once again that Russia’s ongoing full-scale aggression poses a threat not only to Ukraine, but to the entire region. Effective coordination is key to mitigate its consequences to neighbouring countries.

Upon Minister @andrii_sybiha’s instructions , the open letter by the President of Ukraine to the President of Russia will be circulated officially to the Secretary General and all Member States in the @UN in New York, as well as the @coe in Strasbourg and the @OSCE in Vienna.

It is concerning how hard the Russians are attempting, for the second consecutive day, to stage a fake “Ukrainian strike” on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. We denied the accusations yesterday and we deny the new ones today. Usually, Moscow uses such accusations as a smokescreen and an informational alibi before committing own crimes. We urge the international community to remain vigilant and keep an eye out for potential provocations by Russia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine expresses its sincere gratitude to all foreign diplomatic missions and all foreign diplomats who continue to work in our country during this time of war, rejecting Russian blackmail and threats. For over four years and three months now, Russia has been deploying its entire spectrum of lethal missiles and drones against the capital of Ukraine. The strikes have not ceased for virtually a single week. According to the Ukrainian side's assessment, the overall level of security threats posed by Russia to Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities remains the same as in previous years and months. Against this backdrop, the new Russian threats are nothing short of shameless blackmail. Moscow is effectively admitting that its shelling is aimed, among other things, at intimidating the foreign diplomatic corps. This admission will serve as valuable evidence in international legal proceedings against the aggressor state. To counter Russian intimidation, the MFA of Ukraine stands ready to assist in further strengthening the security of foreign diplomatic missions upon their request. We take this opportunity to remind all our partners and allies that the best response to the Kremlin's threats remains increasing pressure on the aggressor and boosting support for Ukraine, particularly by strengthening air defense capabilities.  Moscow must receive the correct and consolidated signals from the international community: unity, strength, and principles.

For 4 years and 3 months, Russia has been attacking Kyiv on a weekly basis with ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as swarms of drones, killing civilians and causing destruction. Today, it plays an entirely “new card” by threatening… to attack Kyiv. What does this signify?

Thank you, @OSCE_RFoM Jan Braathu, for speaking out and supporting journalists and media professionals working in Ukraine under constant threat of Russian attacks. Russia’s war continues to threaten journalists’ safety and media freedom. We value your continued attention and support for OSCE commitments.

Russia continues to redirect Ukrainian drones into the Baltics with the use of its electronic warfare. And Moscow does this on purpose, together with intensified propaganda. We apologise to Estonia and all of our Baltic friends for such unintended incidents. We have been and remain in close cooperation between our specialised institutions to get to the heart of the matter in each case and seek ways to prevent them, including with the direct engagement of our expert groups. We reiterate that — contrary to Russian propaganda claims — neither Estonia, nor Latvia, Lithuania, of Finland have ever allowed to use their airspace for strikes against Russia. Furthermore, Ukraine has never requested such a use. Ukraine exercises its right to self-defense under Art. 51 of the UN Charter; our legitimate military targets are located in Russia; and we use the Russian airspace to get to them. The Russians have no right to blame Ukraine, the Baltic states, or Finland for the consequences of its actions and, more broadly, its war of aggression. We are grateful to our partners in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania for their support and solidarity.

There is no truth in Moscow’s latest set of falsehoods accusing Ukraine of preparing attacks against Russia from the territory of Latvia. We officially refute them. Ukraine does not use the territory or airspace of Latvia in its operations against Russia and does not intend to do so. Russian lies are merely an extension of its broader propaganda campaign aimed at destabilising public opinion in Latvia and the wider Baltics. We thank our Latvian friends for seeing right through them.

To those who know Russian, this is quite a Freudian slip by Putin’s aide: he demands Ukraine to withdraw from the Donetsk region for the combat action to “pause” (приостановятся) instead of “stop” (остановятся). Clear confession: Moscow wants a respite, not peace. Liars exposed.

With all due respect, Your Excellency, we expect action, namely for the State of Israel to stop accepting grain stolen from Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories. When such action is taken, we will be most happy to receive relevant messages via X (former Twitter), WhatsApp, Signal, email, paper post, or any other channel of Your Excellency’s convenience.

We think that after the Middle East, actually, the United States is very interested in putting an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine. And we think there are possibilities to do that. The situation on the battlefield has changed over the past months. Russians are not only not achieving any progress—actually, they’re losing ground in some directions. The Russian economy, despite the high oil prices, is in tatters, and it will only get worse for them. And our analysis is that, long term, even the spike in oil prices will not help Putin to save his economy from the recession that it’s entering. So, we think it’s high time, actually. These months ahead are a high time to try to push forward and push Moscow to negotiate and cease fire.

We see a lot of efforts coming from Russian propaganda to undermine the success that Ukraine had in the Gulf. They’ve tried to spread fakes about Ukrainian specialists and facilities being hit in the Gulf—which was a complete lie, and we debunked it very quickly. They then try to bribe some Telegram channels in the Arab countries to place some fake messages there, saying that Ukraine is not fulfilling its obligations under those agreements. All of that is simply fake, and we can see that Moscow is furious because Ukraine has completely changed the landscape of its perception that is there in the Gulf, but also in the wider world, of Ukraine as a security partner.  And, of course, it hurts for Moscow, it hurts badly. So we understand where this comes from, but it’s important to warn everyone that Russians are trying to undermine this success. We think that this massive disinformation campaign is them admitting their failure. So we’re fine with that. We take it as, you know, as appreciation of what we have achieved there.

During his historic visit to the Gulf, President @ZelenskyyUa concluded security agreements. These are framework documents that allow cooperation between defense ministries and, consequently, producers. What is important—we are talking about the system that Ukraine has. It’s not enough to only have an interceptor drone itself, a piece of equipment; it will not work on its own. You need to have the whole system, which includes radars, sensors, command posts, software, including the one trained on big data from the Ukrainian battlefield, AI technologies, and so on. And, of course, the main thing is the experience of our people, of our specialists—the warriors who are employing those systems. Ukraine’s unique added value is that Ukraine is the only country in the world that possesses such a comprehensive system, and this is what we propose to our partners. That’s why they are so interested in having this cooperation with Ukraine.

We categorically reject attempts to falsely link Ukraine to the incident with explosives found near the Turkstream pipeline in Serbia. Ukraine has nothing to do with this. Most probably, a Russian false-flag operation as part of Moscow’s heavy interference in Hungarian elections.

La décision de mettre fin à la mise en œuvre d'obligations dépassées sur le Traité d'Ottawa, prise à l'été 2025, a été difficile, mais nous faisons face à une invasion à grande échelle, accompagnée d'atrocités massives contre notre État et notre population. L'Ukraine ne peut être limitée dans son droit à la légitime défense, garanti par l’article 51 de la Charte des Nations unies, pour protéger sa population contre le risque de tomber aux mains des occupants russes, compte tenu de la nature génocidaire de cette guerre. Le monde entier a vu ce qui s’est passé à Boutcha, à Izioum, à Marioupol et dans d’autres lieux qui ont été ou restent sous occupation russe. La Russie ne respecte absolument aucune règle. Il ne s’agit pas de réciprocité, mais de protéger notre population ici et maintenant. Les conditions de sécurité dans notre région ont changé de manière spectaculaire et fondamentale. C'est pourquoi non seulement l’Ukraine, mais aussi les États baltes, la Pologne et la Finlande ont pris des mesures similaires. Nous ne sommes pas seuls.

Every day, Hungarian officials are making absurd statements about Ukraine. We are tired of reacting to each one and decided to post our position online in a form of a radio, accessible 24/7. We call it “Hungarian Radio Ukraine”. Listen here in 🇺🇦 🇭🇺 🇬🇧: stream.zeno.fm/6cdovsomtoruv
