If you ever wondered what the acronym #DOGE means in Europe:

A Doge was the leader of Venice between the 8th and 16th century.
They had been elected by the People.

Until the 12th century.
Then it changed to a handful of dominating families.

TelegramZelenskiy / Official34 days ago, Ukraine responded positively to the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. And for 34 days now, Russia has been openly refusing to cease fire. Putin remains focused on continuing the war. Russian state propagandists are preparing their audience for the idea that diplomacy will not bring any results. There is only one reason for this – in Moscow, they are not afraid. If there is no strong enough pressure on Russia, they will keep doing what they are used to – they will keep waging war. We all want this to end. Peace is needed – and it must be lasting. That is why Ukraine always works constructively with its partners, in all formats that can bring security and restore peace. We are not just ready for peace quickly – Ukraine has never wanted this war, not for a single second. And when the war ends, the world will clearly know: it happened because Russia, the aggressor, was forced into peace. The same aggressor that came to Ukrainian land in 2014 – 11 years ago. And it’s important for everyone that this doesn’t take more years.
