WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED THE NEWS THAT the United States will stop sending weapons to Ukraine and contributing to our military. We know this represents a heavy weight on all of us. The U.S. is our strongest ally, and this decision raises deep concerns.
But I want to speak directly to you, our friends, our supporters, our brothers and sisters around the world who stand with Ukraine. You share our pain. You share our worries. And you need to hear this: this decision means less than it seems.
This decision does not define our fate.
Yes, it adds uncertainty to our fight. But when has our path ever been certain? When has our survival ever depended on guarantees from others? We must look beyond the fear and see the facts.
At least in the short run. And that is what matters, because here in Ukraine we do not have the luxury of thinking long-term.
The idea that Ukraine will collapse without U.S. support ignores battlefield realities. While losing this aid would make the fight harder, especially as air defense stocks shrink, it wouldnβt mean sudden defeat. The war will grind on, probably at a higher cost in lives. But claims of imminent collapse are reckless fearmongering.
Once again: the idea that Ukraine will collapse without U.S. aid is false
For centuries, Russia has tried to make us weak, fragmented, and dependent. But they failed. Why? Because despite everything, despite the humiliation, the losses, the betrayals, the attempts at genocide, the impossible odds, Ukraine refused to break.
We once placed trust in empty promises and gave away our nuclear weapons. But look at what weβve built since then:
A military feared by one of the worldβs βstrongestβ armies.
A resistance that has defied every prediction of collapse.
A people who refuse to submit.
And yet, here we are, watching as some shift focus away from the battlefield. As if political games could stop missiles.
Desperation sets in when people stop fighting for their cause. That is not Ukraine. We hold our lines. We destroy the occupiers. And we will win.
Because we have no other choice.
And because we have your support. Wherever you are.
Especially if you're in America and refuse to stay silent.
Thank you for being part of this fight.

Please know that so many of us here in the US are horrified at what the temporary dictator in the White House is saying. We stand with Ukraine β€οΈ
Is there a way you can make sure the Ukrainian people and its soldiers know that millions of shocked Americans continue to support Ukraine's right to be a free country are not at all in agreement with the current government's policy to abandon Ukraine and support Putin. Thank you.
