🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The annual Superhumans community gathering – Superhumans Reunion 2026. We're grateful for the opportunity to be here, and above all, to say thank you. To thank everyone who truly cares about what is happening to Ukrainians and to Ukraine.

🇺🇸 Russia is losing this war, they are losing the war on the front, they are losing the war economically, – Republican Don Bacon “All the Russians can do is bomb cities. They are trying to force Ukraine to surrender by bombing and intimidating civilians, and that is their only tactic at this point.”

ZELENSKYY: We've seized initiative from Russia and taking this war back to where it came from — to Russian land, into Russian skies, and to Russia's shores — to war's true home harbor. Russians must feel what they are doing and understand that war of aggression has consequences.

ZELENSKYY: Truth is, despite having fewer means and fewer resources, Ukrainians have achieved more tangible and impressive results. And, above all, we have every right to be proud of ourselves, because we are defending what is ours. The whole world respects Ukrainians for that.
