We have intel that Russia is preparing a new massive attack on our country – primarily targeting energy and logistics. The assumption is basically that tomorrow the world will be watching the American midterms, and what is happening here in Ukraine, along with our difficulties with air defense and Patriot missiles, will be overlooked. We need signals from the world to Russia that will make them feel that terror is no good, that it will bring no gains, and that as long as this war continues, their oil will burn, and they will not be able to make money doing business with the world. We must not play games with Russia’s oil or gas revenues. We must put pressure on Russia in such a way that it has no alternative but to end this war. America can do this.

An utterly horrific Russian attack on the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. Since this morning, the settlement has been hit several times by aerial bombs. The strikes targeted a school used for humanitarian purposes – people were receiving humanitarian aid there. After the first aerial bomb strike, there was a double-tap strike with nine more bombs, specifically targeting the shelter where people were taking cover. Tragically, 18 people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Five people have been injured. A rescue operation is underway at the site, and the search for people continues. It is extremely difficult. Military forces, first responders, and special services are involved. The Russians could not have been unaware that every week, local residents who had remained in Komyshuvakha received humanitarian aid at that very location. And this is further proof that Russia wants no de-escalation and no real justice. After the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, there was a moment when the next steps could have shown that progress toward peace was possible. With these killings, Russia is sending an entirely opposite signal: Russia is counting on more killings. There must be a response to this – a response from the world. A strong and tough response. A response to Russia. And support for Ukraine. We must protect lives. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

Надзвичайно страшний російський удар по селищу Комишуваха в Запорізькій області. Від ранку було вже кілька ударів авіабомб по селищу – по школі, яка використовувалась для гуманітарних потреб: там роздавали людям гуманітарну допомогу. Після першого удару авіабомб був повторний удар ще дев’яти бомб, і саме по укриттю, де перебували люди. Станом на зараз відомо, на жаль, про вісімнадцятьох загиблих. Мої співчуття рідним і близьким. П’ять людей поранено. На місці триває рятувальна операція, продовжується пошук людей. Дуже непросто. Військові сили, рятувальники, сили спеціальних служб залучені. Росіяни не могли не знати, що щотижня місцеві, які залишились в Комишувасі, отримували гуманітарну допомогу саме там. І це черговий доказ, що Росія не хоче жодної деескалації, жодної реальної справедливості. Після гуманітарної операції в Олешках був момент, коли наступні кроки могли б показати, що наближення миру можливе. Такими вбивствами Росія дає абсолютно протилежний сигнал – Росія розраховує на подальші вбивства. Потрібна відповідь на це, відповідь від світу. Сильна та жорстка. Відповідь Росії. І підтримка для України. Треба захищати життя. Дякую всім, хто допомагає!

Around 120 representatives of the clergy have been killed by the Russians. On purpose, not accidentally, in deliberate attacks on these people, on our churches, and on other religious institutions. Around 800 religious sites were destroyed or damaged. Some of them were one thousand years old, subjected to massive drone and missile attacks – both cruise and ballistic. It’s awful and crazy. And this is not about money. This is about our heritage, history, art, and architecture. You can’t just renovate them. It is very painful for all of us, and of course for our clergy in the first place. From the interview with This Week on Capitol Hill.

An important and substantive meeting with President of Türkiye @RTErdogan. It’s symbolic that our meeting is taking place on International Black Sea Day, and a significant part of our discussion focused on issues concerning the Black Sea. President Erdoğan and I discussed some new ideas and proposals that can help. This includes food security, and today President Erdoğan and I agreed to work on a Black Sea grain corridor – to ensure that the corridor exists and operates effectively. We are preparing new joint industrial and other economic projects. The Free Trade Agreement between our countries has entered into force, opening up new opportunities for Ukrainian and Turkish businesses. We have significant potential in energy and infrastructure, which we also discussed. We met with representatives of Turkish energy companies, and we expect supplies of generators and other energy equipment to increase as early as next week. I’m grateful to President Erdoğan for our clear and substantive cooperation and for Türkiye’s readiness to support all promising ideas that can bring us closer to real peace and security.

We are now preparing for a trilateral format – Ukraine, the United States, and Russia – in the first half of November. President Erdoğan and I discussed the prospects for this format and other possibilities, including ways to involve Türkiye and all of Europe, as well as the possibility of holding meetings here in Türkiye. Strong decisions are needed to bring peace. At every level, Russia must be sent signals that there is no alternative to peace and that support for Ukraine will not diminish. This is all the more important given that a humanitarian operation took place in Oleshky, in the Kherson region, over the past few days. And it clearly demonstrates that de-escalation steps are possible when Russia is the one put in a position where it has to take steps toward de-escalation. I said this during joint statements to the media with President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Landed in Istanbul with our team. Important talks with Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lie ahead. We’re working to strengthen the protection of our people, our bilateral partnership with Türkiye, and real diplomatic prospects. There are important issues concerning shipping in the Black Sea. A meeting with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is also planned. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.

A humanitarian operation to rescue people in Oleshky, in the Kherson region, has taken place. A ceasefire was established in the Kherson sector, during which roads to Oleshky were cleared of mines and humanitarian aid was delivered. We hope humanitarian access to Oleshky will remain open. Also, people who needed evacuation have been taken out of the city and the surrounding community. As of now, Ukrainian citizens from Oleshky have crossed the Ukrainian border in the Chernihiv region. All of them will receive the assistance they need. It is important that government agencies and all the regional and local authorities involved work effectively and help our people adapt. I thank the American side and U.S. First Lady Melania Trump for their mediation. I am proud of our Defense Forces of Ukraine, who defend our country and honorably ensured the security conditions for this humanitarian operation. I thank Ukraine’s Human Rights Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, and his team for carrying out this mission. And I thank everyone around the world – every journalist, every political and civic leader, and every concerned person – who helped draw global attention to the situation in Oleshky and the true humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian territory temporarily occupied by Russia. When the world pays attention, people are rescued. Further steps toward de-escalation and real progress toward peace are also needed. Glory to Ukraine!

Thank you, Ursula, for your condolences and your persistent efforts to strengthen support for Ukraine. Russia’s disdain for diplomacy and de-escalation is growing more and more evident with each of its horrific strikes against life. Ukraine must stand strong so that Russia knows it cannot achieve its military goals and finally turns to real dialogue. Ukraine Support Loan is crucial to ensuring our strength and resilience. And the sooner we start receiving the corresponding tranches for our drone production, air defense procurement, budget support, and other vital expenditures, the better our position in 2027 will be. We can build greater protection together.

Thank you for your support, Maia. Every day, Russia makes the same choice – to kill. And only through joint pressure, joint action, and unity with our neighbors, all of Europe, and the entire world can we stop Russia and prevent this evil from spreading further. Ukraine is always ready to support its neighbors on security matters, and we expect our strong bilateral relations with Moldova to be exactly that – standing shoulder to shoulder for the sake of security and bringing guaranteed peace closer.

I received a report – we carried out two missile strikes, destroying two Russian Su-34s and hitting an Iskander launcher. Thank you, guys, for this result! Another aspect of our anti-ballistic work is the packages of interceptors, primarily for Patriots, that our partners can provide us. They must protect lives. We now have intel about the Russians preparing new ballistic missile attacks. We need the capabilities to shoot down this Russian evil and are awaiting the decisions. Thank you to everyone who really helps us!

Thank you for your condolences following today’s brutal Russian strikes. It is indeed very important that support for those who protect lives continues as long as Russia keeps attacking our cities and communities. We are also grateful for the EU sanctions, which continue to work and grow stronger. And it is important that the new EU sanctions package target not only companies and individuals involved in weapons production, but also the schemes that provide the financial foundation for Russia’s war. All the more reason why no easing of sanctions can be allowed, as this only strengthens Russia’s belief that it can somehow achieve its aggressive objectives.

Thank you, Chancellor, for your solidarity with Ukraine and your clear condemnation of Russia’s attack on Dnipro. For years, Russia has terrorised our people, deliberately putting civilian lives at risk and bringing death, destruction and suffering to Ukrainian families. The aggressor must be held accountable for all its crimes against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. This requires stronger international pressure, tougher sanctions and sustained efforts to ensure that those responsible face justice.

Thank you for your condolences, António. Today, Russia carried out cynical strikes that claimed the lives of 19 people. Another 71 people were injured, including 11 children. Dozens of those wounded are now in hospitals. Our medical professionals are providing care and doing everything they can to save lives. Once again, Russia is showing its true attitude towards de-escalation and the efforts by Ukraine, the United States, Europe, and our other partners around the world to end this war and stop the killings. Of course, support from the EU and every EU Member State is extremely important to us right now. We deeply appreciate all the assistance you are providing. We must further mobilize our joint efforts ahead of this winter to ensure that Ukraine has the necessary capabilities to defend itself against Russian missiles and drones.

Thank you for your support, Petr. It is important that the world sees and responds to these terrorist strikes. If Russia chooses to further escalate its killings, there must be a matching escalation of sanctions pressure from Europe and other global actors. And it is in our shared interests that these steps are taken swiftly.

Thank you, Emmanuel, for your condolences. Unfortunately, the death toll from the Russian strike on a commuter train in Dnipro has already risen to 14. And just a few hours ago, the Russians struck a residential neighborhood in Chernihiv with a drone and killed two girls. They were only 15 years old. In Kremenchuk, a Russian “shahed” struck an apartment building. Tragically, three people were killed. My condolences to all those who lost their loved ones. In these three attacks alone, 56 people have been reported injured, including 10 children. These are deliberate strikes against civilians, brazen in their cruelty, and the Russians are carrying them out right as the humanitarian operation in Oleshky is unfolding. Russia’s signals are clear – they want the war to continue, and everyone around the world must still work very hard to achieve major de-escalation through strong steps and appropriate pressure on the aggressor. Peace is needed – and for that to happen, Russia must end its war and terror.

A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.
