Ukrainians spend 16 hrs without electricity every day and have their friends & family killed. But they don’t want to live under r**sian occupation as that would invite more violence. Europe needs to understand that.

Ukrainians don’t want to hear yet another stream of encouraging words. We want more weapons, sanctions on russia, and for russia to go home.

My interview on @bbc5live.bsky.social with @connorphillips.bsky.social last night.

#Ukraine #russia #trump

Yesterday on @bbc5live.bsky.social with @connorphillips.bsky.social on the #Trump merry-go-round #Ukraine is tired of finding itself on.

Every time badly designed, unworkable ‘solutions’ designed to bully us into capitulation. A ‘peace plan’ so bad it might as well have been written in #moscow.

Ceding land to #Russia is just waiting for the next war.

2014 proved it: giving up #Crimea only paved the way for the 2022 invasion.

My answer on #BBCBreakfast👇🏻

#Russia must go home — and pay for what it’s done.

And when the #BBCBreakfast presenter asked me if I’ll go back to #Ukraine one day, my answer was a resounding yes — before she even finished the question.

Me on BBC Breakfast this morning:

Talks in #Washington may sound optimistic – but #Russia tortured & killed my journalist friends Maks Levin and Victoria Roshchyna. No paper signed in DC will erase that reality, or #Moscow’s imperialism.

#Ukraine #BBCBreakfast

And here’s us in the studio after — talking about why it’s more important than ever to show how #Ukraine lives, not just suffers.

It’s not enough to just “see the stories.”

We must understand them.

Thank you @itvnews.bsky.social and Katie Walderman 💙

This morning, #Kyiv was hit again. At least 9 people killed, dozens injured.

Last month, I went back to #Ukraine with a group of Brits — to show what life looks like during war, far from the headlines.

Here’s the report @itvnews.bsky.social’s Tim Scott and I created for Granada Reports:
