During and after World War II, the struggle for the revival of the Ukrainian state continued. The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists – the ideologist of the liberation movement – split into two parts in 1940, one of which was led by Stepan Bandera, and the other by Andriy Melnyk.
It was Bandera's OUN that initiated the fateful decisions regarding the proclamation of the Ukrainian Stateʼs Act of Restoration, the formation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, and the creation of an underground parliament – the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council. But perhaps the most important step was the beginning of the struggle against both the Hitlerite and Stalinist enslavement of Ukraine.
The last armed clashes between the Ukrainian insurgents and the Soviet repressive system date back to the 1960s. Due to the imbalance of forces, the liberation struggle did not lead to the establishment of an independent Ukraine, but it was of great importance for the restoration of the Ukrainian state in 1991.

"Ballistic missiles hit the centre of a peaceful Ukrainian city. Dozens of people were killed and wounded. Among the victims are those who were just on the street, in cars, in public transport. This is not just a war crime. This is terrorism. It is deliberate and cynical,"
Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, said.
He urged the international community to provide Ukraine with defence measures, strengthen sanctions against the aggressor and accelerate the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression.
"The criminal has a name. There is evidence. Unfortunately, we will not bring back the dead Ukrainians. But it is our duty to achieve accountability and justice for their sake,"
First Vice Speaker Oleksandr Korniienko said.

Sumy. As of now, it is known that 34 people have been killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.
Those were two Russian ballistic missiles. The first hit a building – one of the university buildings. The second exploded right over the street. 117 people were wounded, including children – among them, a baby girl born in 2025. Doctors and all medical workers are doing everything they can to help and save as many lives as possible. I am grateful to all the emergency services who were on the scene within minutes and began rescue operations.
The strike hit right in the heart of the city. On Palm Sunday. Only completely deranged scum can do something like this.

🇺🇦On May 1, 1966, two students raised the blue-and-yellow flag over one of Kyiv’s institutes, making a symbolic act of national expression and political dissent.
On the night of 1st May 1966, when the whole sovietic country was preparing for demonstrations, two young men - Heorhii Moskalenko from Odesa and Victor Kuksa from Kyiv region - raised the blue-and-yellow flag over one of Kyiv’s institutes of National Economy.
They made it from women's scarfs, cut the Tryzub from UNR-era banknotes, and inscribed the words: «Ukraine has not yet perished, she has not yet been killed.»
This act was not only a bold challenge to the totalitarian regime, but also a desperate attempt to awaken the Ukrainian nation. The Soviet authorities deployed the KGB to search for the authors of the flag, flooded the institute with agents, conducted mass inspections, and eventually detained the young patriots.
Today, we remember their actions as a manifestation of true heroism.

The body of Ukrainian journalist Victoriia Roshchyna, tortured in russian captivity, was returned to Ukraine in late February, but it could only be officially confirmed after several DNA tests were completed.
According to the Head of the Committee on Freedom of Speech Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, it was necessary to keep silence for a long time because of the high risk of manipulation by the russian side, which repeatedly replaced the bodies of the dead.
Victoriia's family insisted on several independent DNA examinations, some of which took place outside of Ukraine, to finally confirm her identity. Only after this complex and painful procedure did the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine officially confirmed that Victoria's body was repatriated.
📌 27 years old journalist was tortured and killed by russians who had illegally held her captive for a long time.

Today, our government team reported on the economic partnership with the United States. We have an agreement. It has been signed and will be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for ratification. And we are interested in having no delays with it.
Our representatives – first and foremost, First Deputy Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, the team from the Ministry of Economy, as well as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice – all did a very good job. The agreement has changed significantly during the preparation process. It is now truly an equal partnership – one that creates opportunities for substantial investment in Ukraine, as well as significant modernization of Ukraine’s industries and, equally importantly, its legal practices.
The agreement foresees no debt. It stipulates the establishment of a Reconstruction Fund that will invest in Ukraine and generate returns here. This means joint work with America, based on fair terms, allowing both Ukraine and the United States, which supports us in our defense, to make money in partnership.
We spoke with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, about our readiness to conclude the agreement – we discussed it during our meeting in the Vatican. In fact, this is the first tangible outcome of that Vatican meeting, making it truly historic. We look forward to other outcomes from that conversation.

Today, we discussed the preparation of a new decision by the National Security and Defense Council. It’s important to keep applying pressure on Russia’s influence networks, as well as on all of their manufacturing and trade operations. We are striving to synchronize Ukrainian sanctions as fully as possible with all those in Europe, so that this becomes a joint position, and we already have good results. In particular, in the form of closed Russian production facilities that had been working for their defense industry.
We are also preparing for talks with the United States on new sanctions steps – we are identifying precisely those pressure points of Russia that will most effectively push Moscow toward diplomacy. They must take clear steps to end the war, and we insist that an unconditional and full ceasefire must become the first step. Russia has to make that move. Right now, they’re worried about whether they can hold their military parade – and rightly so. But what they really should be worried about is that this war is still ongoing. They must end the war.

🕯This year, humankind commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the victory over Nazism.
Ukrainians played a crucial role in defeating the Hitler regime, paying an incredibly high price for their efforts. Today, our people once again face the harsh realities of war on their soil, defending their nation, their identity, and their history.
On the eve of the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, together with the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, launched an information campaign titled "Our Victory: Ukraine in World War II."
The goal is to emphasize the significant contributions of the Ukrainian people to the Allies' victory in World War II and to honor our compatriots, who carried the immense burden of the fight against Nazism across the European continent.

We are preparing our sanctions packages – particularly targeting entities and schemes in third countries that, unfortunately, help Russia evade some of the sanctions. At the same time, we continue to strengthen our defense: we expect significant defense packages for Ukraine soon, along with decisions on further cooperation – cooperation with key countries during the war and in the post-war period. We are laying a solid foundation for reconstruction.
And at the same time, we are ready to move toward a ceasefire as soon as possible – even starting today – if Russia is ready to take reciprocal steps – to establish complete silence, a lasting ceasefire of at least 30 days. This is a fair timeframe to prepare the next steps. Russia must stop the war and halt its assaults and shelling.

Our proposal for a halt to the strikes, for a ceasefire of at least 30 days, still stands – we are not withdrawing this proposal, as it offers a real chance for diplomacy. But it is Russia that the world sees giving no answer – no response except for new strikes. This clearly and obviously shows who is the source of this war. Russia must end its aggression – and it will have to. The only question is time. War is a loss for everyone, including the aggressor. Sanctions against Russia for this war will increase – and these are significant sanctions. Global justice will also work – in many respects, unfortunately, slowly, but what’s important, inevitably. And we are preparing updates on this, and we are expediting justice.
Today, there was also a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi regarding our active operations in the Kursk and Belgorod regions. We are defending the Ukrainian land from enemy activities along the border. I want to thank every unit, all our soldiers, all our sergeants, and commanders today – thank you all for your resilience and real strength, the strength that Ukraine needs so much.

I held a meeting of the Staff. Reports were made on supplies for our brigades and the staffing of our units. And also, in great detail, on Ukraine's missile program, our missile developments, and our production capabilities. The task is to accelerate the creation of our Ukrainian ballistic systems as much as possible. Our long-range capabilities are a clear and effective guarantee of Ukraine’s security.
The Commander-in-Chief reported several times today, with particular focus on the situation in the Donetsk region, especially the Pokrovsk direction and several other areas. We continue to operate in the territory of the Kursk and Belgorod regions as well. Russia continues to reject a full and lasting ceasefire—all our partners are already tired of these Russian manipulations. We are defending our positions and will act accordingly, both on the frontlines and in our actions on Russian territory. The war must be felt where it came from.
