The IAEA announced that there have been numerous (presumably Ukrainian) drone and other strikes on the vicinity of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in the Russian-controlled city of Enerhodar in recent weeks, causing several casualties and "potentially threatening nuclear safety".

Drone strikes targeted the plant's off-site training centre, diesel fuel transports for it's emergency generators, as well as locations in Enerhodar where plant staff live.

Zelensky and his wife, alongside a Ukrainian diplomatic team, have arrived in New York for discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump, European leaders, American senators, heads of international organisations, leading American companies, and American think tanks.

Zelensky stated that a new drone deal with the U.S. is being prepared for signing, and that security and de-escalation proposals will be made. He also reiterated the ongoing work to strengthen Ukraine's air defences ahead of winter, as well as ensuring Ukraine has sufficient financial resources.

Russian Geran-4 jet-drones attacked electrical substation(s) in Chernihiv Oblast, resulting in power outages affecting around 100,000 residents across the region.

Isn't it interesting how 99% of the people who advocate for the continuation of the war until Ukraine recaptures all of it's lost territory live in their comfy homes in safe, peaceful countries?

Isn't it curious how almost everyone who shouts "no negotiations with Russia!" don't have their sons or husbands being kidnapped off the streets, sent to the frontlines, and dying or being injured by the tens of thousands per month?

It sure is interesting how the vast majority of people advocate for fighting "until the last Ukrainian" don't have their country being destroyed every single day - both demographically and physically.

Ask yourself this: Do you support Ukraine and Ukrainians? Or do you just hate Russia and Russians.

Do you hate Russia more than you support Ukraine?

I received this message from a Ukrainian in response to my post above. He gave me permission to quote him here:

"The people who truly face war and live through it every day are the ones who most desire peace, tranquility, and an end to this horror; conversely, those unaffected by it—or those profiting from it—see no reason for it to stop."

"Statistically, Ukrainians suffering daily—especially in the east and south—desperately want the fighting to end, whereas those in the west who profit from the war (such as through high rents) do not; they are rarely targeted by missiles or drones, let alone aerial bombs or FPVs. Meanwhile, Ukrainians who fled to Europe advocate for the war to continue, as it gives them a reason to stay there without having to do anything to earn it."

"I am from the Donbas myself and faced discrimination because of my birthplace; back when we were calling for peace as early as 2014, we were branded separatists, terrorists, and worse, and were denied housing in Kyiv and the west. While we sought peace, propaganda conditioned people to believe we deserved to be killed, humiliated, and insulted; this drove a deep wedge between us and the rest of the population, leading us to interact primarily with our fellow countrymen."

"I have always wanted peace and still do, but alas, I am trapped in Ukraine, unable to work or walk the streets safely due to mobilization. I refuse to give even a drop of blood for a state system that instilled hatred toward me in others simply because I was born in a specific region of the country. I harbor no hatred toward Russians; in fact, it is quite telling that my friends from Russia are more concerned about my well-being—asking how I am and whether I have food—than anyone else."

These are the people who should decide what to do with the war - not Europeans, and not Americans. Ukrainians.
