Oh now even NYT is joining in.
Zelensky and Macron are not just allies, but close friends, - NYT
The presidents of Ukraine and France no longer even use official diplomatic channels, but simply call each other on the phone - on secure lines, WhatsApp and Signal.
In one interview, Zelensky called Macron "an expert on war."
Macron regularly receives detailed information from his General Staff and intelligence services about the progress of the war, and in conversations with Zelensky, he discusses the situation on the battlefield in detail, right down to the names of frontline towns and villages.
Ok but why do they look like a bunch of teachers on a school trip
Find someone who looks at you like etc...
Oh, tomorrow is going to be hilarious.

Big day in Kyiv tomorrow, I think
Ok, that is objectively adorable. Eiffel tower in Ukrainian colours tonight.
When you have to look at pro-russian assholes all day.
If you can, support Ukraine.
What is the best way to financially help Ukraine? Is it better to go through organizations or gofundmes or something else I'm not aware of?
Thanks for asking, nonnie. That's very kind of you. If you or anyone else has some spare change and wants to give, here are a few ideas:
United24 is the official fundraising platform established by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian governmental members and directs money to all areas of the country.
The Olena Zelenska Foundation is primarily focused on medical, humanitarian, and educational aid across the country and was founded by the First Lady.
Stand for Ukraine gives you a range of charity options, depending on whether you want to donate directly to the military, or you would prefer to fund non-lethal or humanitarian aid, etc.
Come Back Alive is the main fundraising platform for the Ukrainian military. You can choose to donate to air defense, heavy weapons, demining, medical aid, overall combat equipment, etc.
Donate to Ukraine's Defenders also offers various (carefully vetted) links and options to donate to rebuilding projects, private medical assistance programs, initiatives for democracy, and others.
Ok but why does this look like a kitten that got dunked in the bathtub?
In todays episode of presidents holding random things ...
Well that was fun news to wake up to...
Fuck russia.
A russian drone with a high-explosive warhead attacked the 'sarcophagus' of the destroyed Chornobyl NPP Unit 4
A fire broke out there after the impact, it has been extinguished. The radiation background has not increased so far. Preliminary reports indicate that the damage to the sarcophagus is significant.
Look at how badly Russia wants peace! According to the new US government, of course. Look at the actions of a completely normal, non-terrorist country that only wants peace and safety.
Lol. Look at my other favourite european president being totally in his element.
(Do I have a thing for enthusiastic, scrappy short guys? Maybe.)
When you have to sit in bullshit meetings instead of spending the day with your wife on her birthday
Another day, another glasses pic
Did they take a whole bunch of pics in a row or does he have a dozen copies of that shirt?
Ugh.
It might sound a bit tinfoil hat at the moment, but with the way the US are going and how they're pushing pretty hard for "adult content" bans for minors...that's going to affect Ao3 at some point.
So you know, if you have any favourite fics of the nsfw variety, now might be a good time to download them. Just to be on the safe side.
The special diplomacy continues.
Diplomacy
...Ukrainian-style.
Lol.
Ok, so Meloni was obviously happy to see Ze...
...and share some juicy gossip ...
...but I really don't know what to make of this look
Giorgia. I know he's cute, but you run a G7 country. Please control yourself.
Faces (a collection)
And my favourite:
Macron was supposed to skip the EU meeting in Brussels to go to Mayotte which just got hit by a devastating storm. But he still went to Brussels first just for a quick hug and meet with Ze. The RPF really does write itself at this point. (pics annexed from getty images)

"We have a very good relationship. I appreciate him very much. Our first meeting was before I was even elected. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Emmanuel was one of the few leaders with whom I spoke almost every day on the phone, without intermediaries or protocols. We talked directly about the challenges, about what had to be done. Emmanuel was always part of this small circle of five, seven leaders who were close to Ukraine. I am very grateful to him for that."
The handholding. I cannot with those two.
At this point, it's a French-Ukrainian romance
Y'know what, getting drunk sounds really good right now.
omg his *face*
Olaf is suddenly in Ukraine.
Ze, you have everyone's permission to slap him as hard and as much as you want. You don't even have to meet him. Spend some time with your family instead.
Did he take the day off for his birthday and get some gaming time in?
What a nerd.
I stand by my theory that Ze *loves* bearhugs and that providing them is one of Andriys key roles in the office.
It's chérie time ❤️
But a Rama hug!
It's chérie time ❤️
