Delay in arms from the West gives Russia “permission to take the lives of Ukrainians”: Zelenskiy

We are in constant contact with partners. We are grateful to those who really help with what they can.

That fact must be taken into account. “ 1 hour before 06.25 Following the censorship of independent news media by Russia and the banning of social networking platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the Telegram messaging app has become the largest remaining medium for unlimited information, according to the New York Times.
