Just saw my dear friend, @ZelenskyyUa
As Russia continues its terrible attacks on Ukraine and tries to rattle Allies to get them to slow their support, our response is clear.
We’ll keep calm, carry on growing more capable, and continue to support Ukraine
As we start the semester, YAF is beginning our fall lectures with former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and over a thousand students at Florida State University!
Russia attacking innocent civilians is a function of Putin’s desperation. He wants to increase terror levels and intimidate the Ukrainian people.
The West must renew our commitment to Ukraine. This is not the moment for Ukraine to back down. We must put the pressure on Putin.

"This is not the moment to try to put more pressure on Ukraine by depriving them of the ability to strike Russian oil and gas refineries," former UK PM @BorisJohnson tells @JohnEdHerbst.
"We should be putting the pressure on Putin to get this war over."
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 is now the law of the land. I am grateful to @POTUS for swiftly signing this important legislation. He and his team worked diligently with Congress to get this across the finish line. It will give President Trump additional tools to aid his noble effort to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to a close and allows him to keep up the strong economic pressure on the Iranian regime.
I wish Lindsey were here to celebrate this historic day. I know he would be so proud. Lindsey believed this bill, which he worked on for well over a year, would help end the war through squeezing Putin economically and forcing his customers to reevaluate their relationship with Russia. I am confident that the sanctions and other measures contained in this legislation will do that and further increase the President’s negotiating leverage to secure a lasting peace.

When Lindsey Graham was here in Ukraine, he would always talk about how important it was not to ease pressure on Russia, to strengthen sanctions and seek a path to peace. In particular, in those capitals that choose to buy Russian oil, provide financial services to Russia, and allow Russian companies linked to Putin and the war to engage in normal business relations in other countries.
Senator Graham never doubted for a second that America has enough strength to stand up to dictators and achieve results if it acts THE RIGHT WAY.
I thank President Trump @POTUS for signing this critically important legislation. I thank all the senators and members of the House of Representatives who supported it. The best way to honor Lindsey’s memory will be to implement the provisions of this law fully and swiftly. And the best reward for everyone helping us put pressure on Russia to end its war will be peace. Peace – and an end to all the problems and challenges this war has brought.
Peace comes through strength. Calm comes through security. And the best guarantee of security is resolve.
I thank everyone who resolutely defends life! I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! America, thank you!
Fire Point enables Ukraine to strike back deep into Russia. This incredible defence-technology company is crucial to Ukraine’s ability to defend its sovereignty and its future.
This war will end much faster if the West does the same; give Ukraine the air defences they need and make it clear their future is as an independent country in the West.
Quis nisi nos ~ if not us, then who?
Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson, Former Prime Minister of the UK: “The great advantage Putin has, and always has had, is clarity of purpose. He knows what he wants out of this thing. He wants to stop Ukraine ending up in the Western camp, one way or the other, and we’re failing to be clear ourselves. Only clarity will fix this thing.” YES 2026
I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning. What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways. So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.
When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Why won’t we unfreeze Putin’s cash and give it to Ukraine? There is more than €140 billion in a Belgian bank account - and about £10 billion in London. Britain could show a lead.
The Ukrainians are going to win - that much was clear from the last three days in their wonderful country. But we will get this dreadful war over much faster if we all get serious and give them what they need and deserve.
The hapless and incoherent Burnham has moved Britain to the outer fringes of the debate – and for what? To feed the Corbynista crocodile.

Congratulations to the people of Ukraine on their Independence Day. They will never be beaten - and the sooner Putin recognises that truth the better for the world.
Peace, freedom, independence and GLORY for Ukraine. 🇺🇦
The global order is being recast as power shifts across major economies and old geopolitical assumptions come under pressure.
Boris Johnson, Former Prime Minister, United Kingdom, examined the changing equations between major powers and what they mean for the global order in a fireside chat on “The World after the West: Geopolitics, China, India, and the US - and the New Power Balance” at #ETWLF.
