Marta Kostyuk gave a very emotional speech about Ukraine after beating Selekhmeteva in Roland Garros Marta: “I’m incredibly proud of myself today. I think it was one of the most difficult matches of my career. This morning, 100 meters from my parent’s house, the missile destroyed the building. It was a very difficult morning. I didn’t know how this match is gonna turn out for me. I didn’t know how I would handle it. I’ve been crying part of the morning. I don’t wanna talk about myself today. I’m very pleased to be in the 2nd round, but all of my thoughts and all my heart goes to the people of Ukraine today. Thank you so much for coming out. Slava Ukraine.” ❤️ “With this kind of events you told us.. Why is it so important to be here on the court today?” Marta: “Because I think it’s important to keep going. My biggest example is Ukrainian people. I woke up in the morning today and I looked at all these people who woke up and kept living their live, kept helping people who are in need. I knew a lot of Ukrainian flags would be here today and a lot of Ukrainian people would come out and support. My friends from Ukraine came as well. Very happy to have them here. Not much I can say.” ❤️

Russia is waging its war not only against our people. It is waging it against Ukrainian culture, history, memory, industry, and the normal way of life. Kyiv, the epicenter of Russia’s attack tonight, will recover. Russia’s reputation as a terrorist state will not. We must collectively ensure that enough pressure is put on Russia for the sake of peace.

Canada strongly condemns Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine that killed many civilians, including children, and extended into the western part of the country, damaging civilian infrastructure and striking a UN humanitarian aid vehicle.

En lançant une nouvelle frappe massive de drones et de missiles contre les villes et les civils ukrainiens - la plus importante de ces quatre dernières années -, la Russie aggrave un peu plus le forfait de son agression. Elle donne à voir toute l'hypocrisie avec laquelle elle a négocié la fragile trêve des derniers jours. En bombardant les civils, la Russie apporte moins la démonstration de sa force que de sa faiblesse : elle est à court de solutions sur le terrain militaire et ne sait pas comment terminer sa guerre d'agression. La France se tient aux côtés de l'Ukraine et du peuple ukrainien et continuera de se mobiliser pour obtenir une cessation des hostilités et faire advenir une paix juste et durable pour l'Ukraine, qui garantisse sa sécurité et celle de l'Europe.

This is what Victory Day looked like for Ukrainians in 1945. Instead of the fascists and Hitler, our grandparents got the Soviets and Stalin. And today, Ukrainians are facing their direct descendants: the rashists and Putin.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns another act of barbarism and a cultural crime committed by Russia against Ukraine – a deliberate drone attack on the central part of Lviv, which resulted in damage to UNESCO World Heritage sites within the Historic Centre of Lviv. As a result of drone strikes on civilian buildings in the city centre, people were injured. This attack is not only a war crime against civilians, but also a direct assault on the cultural heritage of humanity, which is under international protection. It was in Lviv that, with the support of international partners and UNESCO, the first UNESCO Cultural Hub in Ukraine was established. This centre was created specifically to protect, restore, and support Ukrainian culture in times of war. By striking at the heart of Lviv, Russia has demonstrated its barbaric disregard for the efforts of the international community and UNESCO itself. We emphasize that Russia continues to systematically violate the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. We call on UNESCO and all international partners not to limit their response to yet another expression of concern. An aggressor that deliberately destroys world heritage in a city hosting an official UNESCO Cultural Hub must be deprived of any influence within international institutions and face severe consequences. Ukrainian diplomats are officially addressing the UNESCO Secretariat and the Member States of the World Heritage Committee, calling for the consequences of this attack to be documented and for additional cultural sanctions against Russia to be initiated. We express our sincere condolences to the injured residents of Lviv and assure that every instance of destruction and damage to sites of global historical significance will be documented to ensure accountability of the aggressor state and those responsible in both national and international jurisdictions.

Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is. You have stood with Ukraine since the first day of the full-scale war. This is still true today. And we know that you will continue to stand with our country and our people.

David Borenstein, director of MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN: “It’s about how you lose your country ... you lose it through small little acts of complicity. When a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and how we produce it and consume it" #Oscars
