Against the background of problems with the continuation of aid to Ukraine from certain international partners, the head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained how the events on the front will develop if our people are left without the support of the West at all.

According to the head of state, without the help of international partners, our country will have to repel the Russian invaders on its own, as on the first day of a full-scale war.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that it would be complicated, but there was no other way but victory.

The Ukrainian leader made such a statement during a joint briefing with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Har Stere, answering questions from media representatives.

As you know, during the first days of the full-scale war, on February 24th, we were really on our own. It was difficult and very difficult. A tragic period for us and our people and you saw how it was for us. We were almost occupied. But we did not run away, did not leave and accepted this battle, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reminded international partners.

On the conviction of the head of state, Ukraine will be able to continue the fight against the Russian aggressor, even if it remains without help at all.

However, then we will lose a lot of our people.

It is possible to do as it was. I mean it's difficult, you lose a lot of people. And if you don't want to lose the lives of your people, children... You definitely need a real powerful defense shield. Starting with planes and ending with artillery. If the world, Europe unites around Ukraine, it is important for us. Of course, you can't win without help, but you can't lose either, because that's the only thing you have — your state."

Zelenskyy does not consider the option of ceding Ukrainian lands for the sake of peace

During a press conference in the USA, the president of Ukraine categorically rejected the idea of concessions in the territories of Ukraine for the sake of peace because he considered this proposal to be absolute madness.

This is absolute madness. We often mention God, and that is definitely not Christian. Our people, families and children live there. And all this is a part of Ukrainian society. We are talking about living people, they are mocked, raped, killed. And we know it very well. The question is not only in the land, the question is in living people, their destinies. The problem lies with these families, their children, Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained.

Yale professors Snyder, Shore, and Stanley resign over Trump policies

Three prominent critics of US President Donald Trump are leaving Yale University: history professors Timothy Snyder and Marcy Shore, and philosophy professor Jason Stanley. The decisions come amid the new administration's attacks on higher education in the United States.

Points of attention

  • Jason Stanley's forced resignation sheds light on the challenges faced by academics in an environment of political hostility, exemplified by attacks on institutions like Columbia University.
  • The move of Snyder, Stanley, and Shore to the University of Toronto and Munk School reflects the changing landscape for academics seeking a more conducive environment for their work and values.

Snyder, Stanley, and Shore leave Yale

As the Yale Daily News notes, the professors are not only leaving the university — they have decided to leave the States altogether while Donald Trump and his team remain in power here.

According to the latest reports, Snyder, Stanley and Shore will move to positions at the University of Toronto and will teach at the Munk School.

Jason Stanley said he was forced to resign because of the political climate in the United States. He was also struck by how Columbia University was suffering from attacks from the White House.

What is important to understand is that Donald Trump's team threatened to deport two students who participated in protests at Columbia University and withdrew $400 million allocated to fund research at the university.

Against the backdrop of such powerful pressure, the university was forced to agree to a number of demands from the Trump administration, including a review of its policy.

Marcy Shore officially confirmed that Munk's school had long been trying to recruit her and Snyder and that the couple had been seriously considering offers "for the past two years."

Recall that Timothy Snyder is a UNITED24 ambassador — he has publicly supported the Ukrainian people many times against the backdrop of the war waged by Russia.
