During World War II, approximately 7.5 mln Ukrainians served in the Red Army. One in five service members in the Red Army was Ukrainian.
Mobilization in Ukrainian territories peaked between 1943 and 1944 during the retreat of the Wehrmacht from Ukraine.
Newly conscripted, poorly armed, and unequipped soldiers— known as "Black Infantry"-were widely deployed in combat. They were expected to "atone for the guilt of living under occupation with their blood."
The involvement of millions of Ukrainians in the fight against Nazism was a crucial factor in its defeat in Europe. The price of victory was staggering: one in every two Ukrainians who fought in the Red Army was killed, and among those who returned home, one in every two had a disability.

In the coming days, very significant meetings may take place — meetings that should bring us closer to silence for Ukraine. An unconditional ceasefire is needed. Real pressure on Russia is needed so that they accept either the American proposal to cease fire and move towards peace, or our proposal — whichever one can truly work and ensure a reliable, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire, and then — a dignified peace and security guarantees. Diplomacy must succeed. And we are doing everything to make diplomacy truly meaningful and finally effective.

While claiming to seek peace, russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv.
This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it.
The real obstacle is not Ukraine but russia, whose war aims have not changed,

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.

🇺🇦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.

🕯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.

Today, there was quite a lot of technical work with our partners – mainly diplomatic work. We are preparing meetings and negotiations that will take place in the near future. Security is the top priority.
Today, I spoke with the Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Luxembourg, primarily about our cooperation in Europe and the support we receive. I want to express my gratitude for the support of Ukraine.
Of course, we also discussed diplomacy and the need for a full ceasefire – unconditional and lasting for a sufficient period, at least 30 days. The strikes must stop, the killings must stop – and only then can a solution be sought through negotiations. We are ready for any format of dialogue. Russia must stop its attacks and end this war.

In the Cherkasy region, work is currently underway to restore gas supply. Following a Shahed drone strike, there has been damage to infrastructure – critical infrastructure – and it is ordinary civilian infrastructure.
Once again, Russia has struck a target that is not about war, but about people. Moreover, this attack came against the backdrop of global demands for Russia to end this war and establish a ceasefire. That is, each new day brings another clear proof that pressure must be exerted on Russia – and it must be strong enough – to force them in Moscow to end this war, a war that only Russia needs.
We in Ukraine never wanted a single second of this war – and we have always said that we are ready to work as swiftly as possible with all partners who can help establish peace and guarantee security. Russia has consistently rejected everything and continues to manipulate the world, trying to deceive the United States.
Now, yet again, another attempt at manipulation: for some reason, everyone is supposed to wait until May 8 before ceasing fire – just to provide Putin with silence for his parade. We value human lives, not parades. That’s why we believe – and the world believes – that there is no reason to wait until May 8. The ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward. It must be immediate, full, and unconditional – for at least 30 days to ensure it is secure and guaranteed. This is the foundation that could lead to real diplomacy.

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.

🔹 provides for the creation of an digital traceability system;
🔹 harmonizes Ukrainian legislation with EU regulations.
The law is expected to contribute to the conservation of fish stocks, increase market transparency, reduce shadow circulation, and create a level playing field for businesses.

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.

We are keeping our positions strong so that we have every opportunity for proper diplomacy. The Russians talk a lot about their alleged readiness to accept American proposals, but so far, there have been no signs of the Russian army preparing for real silence. On the contrary, since Easter, the occupier has resumed its usual assault activity – of course, at the cost of significant losses, the Russians are trying to advance. And every day of such battles at the front proves that Russia is really trying to deceive the world – to deceive America and others – and to further prolong this war. And that is why we need pressure. Pressure is indispensable to make the Russians take all the steps – whatever is necessary to stop the war. Yesterday’s meetings in the Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what is happening.

"While russia is busy choosing what it wants for ceasefire, it keeps on attacking Ukraine's cities.
Kryvyi Rih, Kharkiv, Sumy, and now Kyiv are burning. One does not stop such hate crimes by sweet talks – only by force.
Lithuania will support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine until final victory!"
said Gitanas Nausėda, President of Lithuania.

Now, after Easter, the whole world can clearly see the real issue – the real reason why the hostilities continue. Russia is the source of this war. It is from Moscow that a real order must come for the Russian army to cease fire. And if there is no such firm Russian order for ceasefire – then there is no ceasefire.
Indeed, there were no air raid alerts on Easter, and some sectors of the frontline remained quiet. This proves it is possible – it’s possible when Russia chooses to reduce the killing. Nevertheless, Ukraine stands by its offer — at the very least, not to strike civilian infrastructure. And we expect a clear answer from Moscow. We are ready for any conversation on how to ensure this.
There is an obvious, simplest, and most reliable way: stop missile and long-range drone attacks. That alone would automatically ensure the safety of all civilian infrastructure. A ceasefire – real and lasting – must be the first step toward a secure and enduring peace.
Ukrainian representatives – both at the meetings held in Paris and at the meetings scheduled this week in London – will have a primary task regarding an unconditional ceasefire. That must be the starting point. Peace begins in silence.
