Any terrorist counts on only a few forms of results for himself: the suffering of people, the intimidation of people, and the ruins that terror leaves behind. This is exactly how Russia acts in this case. We will do everything to guarantee people a basis for life even after this disaster.

Russia has been controlling the dam and the entire Kakhovka HPP for more than a year. It is physically impossible to blow it up somehow from the outside, by shelling. It was mined by the Russian occupiers. And they blew it up. Russia has detonated a bomb of mass environmental destruction. This is the largest man-made environmental disaster in Europe in decades. It is the most dangerous terrorist in the world. And that is why Russia's defeat – a defeat that we’ll ensure anyway – will be the most significant contribution to the security of our region, our Europe and the entire world. However, don't we know what constantly fuels Russian revanchism? This is the belief of Russia's rulers that Europe will allegedly show weakness. Weakness is the main hope and bet of terrorists. No more weakness in Europe against the evil of aggression! No more uncertainty about security prospects in Europe! Every step, decision and summit of ours must strengthen us all in our defense against Russian terror. No doubt, the Vilnius #NATOSummit must ensure this. I said this addressing the Bucharest Nine Summit.

Two Ukrainian officials confirmed that Prigozhin has spoken several times to the Ukrainian intelligence directorate, known as HUR. One official said that Prigozhin extended the offer regarding Bakhmut more than once, but that Kyiv rejected it because officials don’t trust Prigozhin and thought his proposals could have been disingenuous.

Security is the main target for 🇷🇺. In our country & in all the free world. Destroying it, bringing death & chaos is all the terrorist state does. All who help 🇺🇦 restore security, who put pressure on the terrorist state – all are defenders of peace. I thank everyone who with 🇺🇦!

I was very concerned about what social media was doing to democracy. Then I talked with @ericschmidt and learned more about AI. Together, we wrote an essay about how AI is going to make social media MUCH more toxic to democracy, and to children: theatlantic.com/technology/a…

I’ve never read something that made more sense than this.
