I agree with you! Yes indeed and this one was Old school Zelensky. One of his better speeches.

Yes I saw a different version this am and assumed there were English subtitles. I wasn’t paying attention to the subtitles!

This was not a speech for aimed mostly at outside audiences it was very much and Ukrainian citizens.

Some say they want to maintain unity but make missteps (or even purposefully ?!) divide through their actions.

👆a master class of what citizens need their leaders to do and say on such difficult days.

A reminder now is the is the time to commemorate & rally … together united.

If you watch only one thing today.
This is it.

As some who studied @ZelenskyyUa speeches. This one is back to basics. We, the people, together united are what makes Ukraine strong.

Shoring up that state centered civic duty.

Russia’s sabotage campaign is becoming bolder Hacks against Polish energy plants suggest the FSB is involved

I wrote on Russia's cyber-attack against Poland's energy system in December, why it suggests a more aggressive Russian approach to disrupting critical infrastructure in Europe, and why the involvement of the FSB, Russia's security service, is bad news. www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

Why Ukraine is winning the war Russia has failed to achieve its core aim — the destruction of the Ukrainian nation

I always say Russia lost the war it set out to win and moreover the war it is currently continuing is an unwinable war for Russia - at least in Ukraine.
