Last night, Russia continued striking our communities and our energy sector. Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions came under attack. The main target was energy facilities and critical infrastructure that ensures normal life for our people: heat and electricity. In the morning, our air defense forces were operating in Kyiv, and an air raid alert sounded in the capital and the region, as well as in the Chernihiv region.
A total of 113 attack drones were launched, about 70 of them were “shaheds,” and there were also missiles – three ballistic ones. I thank our defenders who repel Russia’s aerial attacks day and night – the Air Force, the anti-aircraft missile troops, the electronic warfare and unmanned systems units, and the mobile fire groups of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. I thank everyone working to deal with the aftermath of these attacks. I am grateful for such support for our country.
Right now, our first priority is to strengthen our air defense – primarily with missiles for the existing systems. Partner contributions to the PURL initiative are needed, as well as support from European stockpiles and faster implementation of agreements with the United States. It is very important to reinforce our warriors now. If we can counter these Russian attacks with 100% effectiveness, Putin’s terror will become meaningless. At the moment, this is their advantage, and this is exactly Russia’s bet. We must deprive them of this. It can work and will force Russia to stop the killings and move toward peace. I am grateful to everyone in the world who is ready to help us.

The ruling Georgian Dream party officials, including Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and disputed Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, slammed Moldovan President Maia Sandu over her remarks that she would vote in favor of Moldova’s reunification with Romania if a referendum were held.
“Such a statement is astonishing,” Kobakhidze told Georgian reporters in Abu Dhabi, where he is on his first official foreign visit of the year. “The country’s political leader is saying she is ready to vote for the loss of the country’s independence. This is a very unfortunate development for Moldova,” he added.
Shalva Papuashvili posted his criticism on Facebook, saying that when a president is willing to vote “against her own country’s independence,” that “makes everything clear,” adding, “In this respect, yes, we indeed lag behind Moldova.” He continued: “We cannot give up our 3,000 years, which prove that if you believe in your national identity, even a small country can carry its statehood through the firestorms of history.”
Papuashvili also argued that Sandu’s comments suggested “she herself is skeptical” about Moldova’s prospects of joining the European Union “independently” and that “she is eyeing a GDR scenario,” referring to East Germany’s automatic inclusion in the European Communities following German reunification in 1990.
“There is nothing more to say. This is a path toward Europe through the loss of sovereignty,” he added. “For us, the issue is simple: Georgia’s European path is the path of an independent state, not its abolition.”
Sandu said she would vote in favor of Moldova’s reunification with Romania, an EU and NATO member, if a referendum were to take place, while also acknowledging that the majority of Moldovans do not support her position.
“Look at what is happening in the world. It is getting more and more difficult for a small country like Moldova to survive as a democracy, as a sovereign country, and of course to resist Russia,” she said. Sandu, who is pro-European, has often expressed concerns about Russia’s hybrid warfare against Moldova, including election interference.
Moldova was part of Romania from 1918 until 1940, when it was annexed by the USSR. It declared independence in 1991 after the fall of the Iron Curtain. According to Reuters, around 1.5 million Moldovans hold Romanian citizenship.

This is what bipartisan national security looks like! You don’t “take over” Greenland like it’s a real estate deal. A message to protect alliances, follow international law, and don’t hand rivals a propaganda win. #Greenland #USPolitics #NationalSecurity share.google/cLvR9q8gb9QTm15…
