Detailed Plans for the Regions Have Already Been Prepared, Covering the Restoration of Energy Facilities and the Upgrading of Their Protection – Address by the President

27 February 2026 – 20:20

I wish you good health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today, an important meeting was held with our government officials, energy specialists, and military personnel – everyone responsible for protecting and upgrading our infrastructure, Ukraine’s energy sector. Detailed plans for the regions have already been prepared, covering the restoration of energy facilities and the upgrading of their protection, taking into account everything Russia has been doing over this winter and what it could attempt next. I instructed that certain points be refined and that these plans be prepared for the level of the National Security and Defense Council to be approved precisely at the national level, specifying exactly what needs to be done, what must be ensured, and who will be responsible. I count on the full engagement of regional and local authorities – those who can genuinely get things done. The successful practices already established in some regions and communities must be shared with other areas, those that have faced more problems and unresolved issues this winter. It is the local authorities who can make the greatest contribution to the resilience of communities, knowing which facilities require priority modernization and protection. The Government and all institutions of our state – everyone will help.

There are also many military aspects – tasks that must be implemented by the army and the Ministry of Defense. The formats tested recently have proven effective. When practically every strike and every impact was carefully analyzed, clear conclusions were drawn about what must change. I am grateful to everyone working exactly this way – adapting themselves and transforming defense approaches to truly respond to every threat of this kind and protect Ukraine effectively.

Today, I also discussed with Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko the substantial social steps prepared by the Government. Ukraine will carry out the annual pension indexation, benefiting more than ten million of our citizens. Pensioners will see increases of over twelve percent. The funds for this are allocated; the indexation must take place immediately, in March. Despite all the challenges of full-scale war, we conduct this indexation every year. Since the first year of the invasion, no matter how difficult it may be, Ukraine has ensured pension indexation, all necessary social payments, and the stable operation of the state’s social and financial systems. In the context of a full-scale war, this is a very significant result. I am grateful to everyone helping Ukraine make it possible.

Of course, I am also grateful to every Ukrainian entrepreneur, all our companies, and the entire Ukrainian business sector operating in Ukraine, paying taxes in Ukraine, maintaining and creating jobs, and allowing the Ukrainian budget to function. Despite everything – the war, Russian strikes, and all these outages – Ukrainians cover at least half of state and community spending. It is extremely important that we have internal foundations of resilience, as well as our work with partners, which has provided Ukraine with unprecedented external funding throughout these years of war.

I spoke with our diplomatic team. We continue to engage with people who have demonstrated strong experience in defending Ukraine’s interests. In particular, I met with Pavlo Klimkin. We are preparing to strengthen several areas of our diplomatic work in Europe and beyond. Ukraine’s interests must be represented both at the official level and in engagement with communities in those countries that are not yet free or remain under Russian influence.

There will be personnel changes within the diplomatic corps. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also preparing candidates for the position of Special Representative on Belarus and the Belarusian community in Europe. A more active policy is needed. And it is precisely the proactive efforts of our state and the proactive efforts of our people that deliver the best outcomes for Ukraine. When Ukraine does not waste a single day or miss a single opportunity, Ukraine’s interests are genuinely protected.

Glory to Ukraine!

Georgians are always protesting. Beyond the daily evening rallies in 8+ cities — now on day 457 — other demonstrations continue across the country, like this silent protest at a metro station.

“Freedom to prisoners of conscience,” the sign reads.

Much gratitude to @euromaidanpress.bsky.social for the opportunity for me to expose structural weaknesses of the Georgian Dream’s rushed dictatorship, which is now qualitatively different from previous projections of normalcy.

In my new @euromaidanpress.bsky.social article, I argue two main points:

1. The Georgian Dream has quit projecting normalcy, stopped caring about popularity, and entered a qualitatively different phase of the very rushed dictatorship: 1/3

to preemptively eliminate whatever self-organizing social fabric there is and to force the population into managed poverty or emigration;

2. The speed is quite a desperate sprint against time since the GD is structurally too weak to manage a successful dictatorship in the medium-to long-term. 2/3

From EuroMaidan Press:

Something has shifted in Tbilisi. The Georgian Dream is no longer bothering to keep up appearances.

Instead, the regime is striking preemptively—dismantling every unit of social mobilization and pushing the country toward managed poverty and emigration. What’s unfolding is a systematic dismantling of Georgia’s social and economic fabric. But the process is rushed and brittle.

From late January to mid-February 2026, the regime launched a crackdown targeting democratic leaders and university faculties, neighbourhood pharmacies, and imported cars—all at once, with a speed and scope that defy the usual autocratic playbook.

Regimes typically tighten the screws gradually, saving the harshest measures for after dissent is crushed. In Georgia, it is all happening while political parties, civil society, and independent media are still functioning—and while people have been protesting daily for more than a year and a half. So why the rush?

Because the Georgian Dream knows it is structurally fragile—and is gambling against time.

The centrepiece is a sweeping “Grants Law” being fast-tracked through parliament. In theory, it could target not just opposition politicians and civil society organizations but remittances from the Georgian diaspora and even basic person-to-person transactions.

The law also criminalizes “external lobbying”—essentially any activity abroad promoting democracy in Georgia or advocating for EU integration.

To understand the stakes, consider what foreign-funded civil society actually does in Georgia. Georgian NGOs receive over 90% of their funding from abroad—and they do work the government won’t: monitoring elections, investigating corruption, providing legal aid, running shelters, supporting investigative journalism.

As scholar Julie George wrote, “what many CSOs in Georgia do is governance that the government does not.”

The Georgian Dream has been working to destroy this infrastructure since 2024, when it passed a Russian-style foreign agents law requiring organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power”—with debilitating fines for noncompliance.

The vast majority of Georgia’s roughly 26,000 NGOs refused to register.

The Grants Law escalates from fines to prison. It blurs the lines between legal and illegal so thoroughly that the public is left wondering what lawful conduct even looks like anymore.

Numerous legal experts in Georgia have said as much, including Tamar Oniani, the Chairperson of Georgian Young Lawyers’ Association (GYLA). With criminal penalties of up to 6 years—and in some cases up to 12—the broad scope and vague wording do not inherently exclude remittances (11.9% of Georgian GDP in 2024). The exemption has been confirmed only verbally by some Georgian Dream MPs.

Meanwhile, while all Western funding is being criminalized, China continues to fund a program popularizing China on Georgia’s pro-Kremlin media outlet Obiektivi.

The law could also criminalize basic transactions within Georgia itself: Michael O’Flaherty, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, underlined in his 2 February statement that the new law “would encompass any cash or in-kind transfer from one person to another person that may be used to carry out activities with the belief or intention of exerting any influence on the government, state institutions or any part of society.”

In practice, the law will most likely be applied selectively. But its vast scope and deliberate vagueness mean it could criminalize almost anyone—and under a regime this reckless, that is the point. As constitutionalist Davit Zedelashvili notes, the regime has given critics a choice: prison or exile.

Even before the Grants Law, Human Rights Watch assessed the 2025 draconian laws to be “decimating the country’s vibrant civil society.”

The regime is also considering a ban—and jail time—for refusing to recognize the “legitimacy of constitutional bodies” (read: the legitimacy of the Georgian Dream). Three opposition party chairpersons, Zurab Girchi Japaridze, Giorgi Vashadze, and Nika Gvaramia, have just left jail, but their passports and ID cards have been confiscated to ban them from exiting the country, and they face further prosecution.

Others, chiefly Elene Khoshtaria, Nika Melia, and Mikheil Saakashvili, remain imprisoned, although Saakashvili’s case is older and stems from a somewhat different context.

Yet the regime is pressing ahead with prosecuting almost all democratic leaders over “state sabotage” and related “crimes.” The harshest charge—”assistance to a foreign country, foreign organisation or an organization controlled by a foreign state in hostile activities,” which the Georgian Dream interprets as advocating for targeted sanctions over Russia sanctions evasion and human rights violations—carries 7 to 15 years in prison.

Three leaders are being prosecuted specifically for sanctions advocacy: Elene Khoshtaria of Droa, Zurab Girchi Japaridze of Girchi–More Freedom, and Giorgi Vashadze of Strategy Aghmashenebeli. Japaridze and Vashadze have been banned from leaving Georgia, their passports and IDs confiscated.

The absurdity deserves spelling out. Russia still occupies 20% of Georgian territory since the 2008 invasion. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Georgian Dream refused to join Western sanctions against Moscow and began echoing Russian propaganda narratives—earning the regime the nickname “Russian Dream.”

Ordinary Georgians see it differently: Ukrainian flags fly alongside Georgian and EU flags at the daily protests against falsified elections, and Georgians openly view Ukraine’s fight as their own. The regime’s response is to jail the people calling for sanctions against Georgia’s occupier.

Several peaceful protesters are currently detained for protesting on a sidewalk outside the Parliament of Georgia—the daily location of protests for almost 450 days. Protesting on that sidewalk more than once is now a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison.

The US:

Foreign Policy brings us a deep dive into what Putin, the Kremlin, Russia really think of Trump:

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly told Americans that he alone can end the war in Ukraine because he has a “very good relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a 28-point peace plan to make Moscow comply. Ahead of the pair’s April 2025 summit in Alaska, which occurred after Trump warned of unspecified “consequences” if Russia didn’t halt its attacks on Ukraine, Russia’s most popular talk-show host devoted an entire segment of his show to reminding viewers what Russia thinks of Trump’s threats. “We can destroy all of them with nuclear weapons,” Vladimir Solovyov said on air. “Let them think about this during our commercial break.” This isn’t fringe rhetoric; it’s primetime messaging on Russia-1, the flagship state TV channel. These and other segments have been preserved and documented by U.S. journalist Julia Davis for anyone who cares to look.

Trump is objectively the most popular foreign public figure in Russia, second only to Putin in raw media mentions. But it is not for the reasons the White House would prefer. Russian TV routinely features jokes about how Trump can be manipulated into doing things that clearly damage U.S. interests. On-air banter mocks his “psychological deadlines” for Russia to accept a cease-fire as meaningless. Television hosts and studio guests don’t conceal their satisfaction with the current U.S. administration, not just because it includes people like U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—whom Russian television has called “our girlfriend” for her frequently Kremlin-aligned views—but also because they see the United States’ geopolitical self-immolation as a boon that Moscow could never have engineered on its own. To Russians, Trump is the face—and often the punchline—of that process.

Trump’s malleability is a constant theme in these discussions. He is not portrayed as a serious politician to contend with but as someone between a useful fool and an irritating obstacle. Russian state TV flatters Trump when convenient, mocks him otherwise, and threatens him when

he steps out of line. During one panel discussion, a military pundit calmly explained that Russia should force Donald Trump to make decisions that weaken the United States while reminding viewers that Washington remains “an adversary.” Nevertheless, Trump insists that he has a “great” relationship with Putin, who supposedly “respects” him. But it is Putin’s government that micromanages the media outlets that openly ridicule Trump.

The disconnect between how Trump thinks he’s perceived in Russia and how Kremlin propagandists actually talk about him is, on one level, comedic. But it also reveals Russia’s contempt for Trump personally and for everything he represents as president of the United States. Moscow portrays today’s United States as a declining state whose leader is hilariously unaware and can be goaded, bribed, or bullied into doing whatever serves Russian interests. As a bonus, this leader is dismantling the world order that the Soviet Union and Russia spent decades trying to unsuccessfully undermine. Trump’s foreign-policy antics are genuinely entertaining to Russian propagandists and function as nightly reminders to viewers of who, in the Kremlin’s telling, is winning.

In early 2026, Russian propagandists swooned over Trump’s fixation on Greenland. Solovyov told his audience that he had been “right about Trump all along,” calling him the president who “totally destroyed the entire system of international relations.” Around the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov praised the “excellent” personal relationship between Putin and Trump, crediting their “mutual respect” for progress at talks in Alaska. However, Lavrov also warned that Russia would answer any militarization of Greenland with unspecified “military-technical measures.” The message is clear: Trump is preferred as the man dismantling the old order—right up until he tries to constrain Moscow. Then, the nuclear saber comes out for another rattle.

When Trump’s rhetoric crosses a line that Moscow has drawn, the tone shifts from flattery to open menace. Ahead of the Alaska summit, after Trump issued his warning of “consequences,” Solovyov reminded viewers that “no one has the authority to impose their will on the Russian president” and boasted that while the United States could retaliate, Russia “can do it faster and more effectively.” Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has played a similar role with his frequent comments on Telegram. There, he has invoked Russia’s “Dead Hand” automated nuclear retaliation system and told Trump to watch The Walking Dead, a zombie apocalypse series, to understand “how dangerous” it is. Nuclear escalation threats are not an exceptional topic in this discourse. Rather, it is a recurring theme and pressure tool that immediately reverberates in Western policymaking circles.

Although Trump is relentlessly mocked and derided for failing to quickly strong-arm Ukraine into surrendering after his inauguration, he is also encouraged and praised when behaving as Moscow expects. “What a generous man! The U.S. position has changed to normalcy with Trump’s arrival,” declared Olga Skabeyeva, co-host of the daily talk show 60 Minutes, after Trump’s first peace proposal, which would force Ukraine to accept Russian occupation and block it from joining NATO. Her co-host and husband, Evgeny Popov, chimed in: “Absolutely wonderful! All of Trump’s cabinet personally hates Zelensky. It’s a radical dream team!” In these moments, Trump is not lauded as a strong U.S. leader but as the unwitting architect of the world that Moscow wants.

You won’t understand this coverage if you imagine Russian state media as the equivalent of Fox or MSNBC, just under a different flag. It is closer to a nightly strategic briefing, carefully orchestrated inside the Kremlin’s media management rooms and disguised as infotainment. Panelists openly discuss “forcing” Trump into making choices that benefit Russia, using his desire for a “deal” as leverage in negotiations, and Russia’s ability to resist any pressure from Trump because, as one pundit put it, “America needs this peace more than we do.” When tactically necessary, the hosts and panelists pivot from praising Trump’s Russia-friendly position on Ukraine to reminding viewers that the United States remains Russia’s main adversary and that no matter what Trump does, Russia’s course is unchanged.

The uncomfortable implication for a U.S. audience is that Trump is not a singularly feared or respected figure. He is just the latest in a series of world leaders whose personal ego and domestic chaos the Kremlin can exploit. The more Trump insists that Putin “respects” him and will make a deal only with him, the more Russian television portrays Trump as someone who has already accepted Russia’s terms but doesn’t realize it yet. That gap in perception is the real story. Trump has built his Ukraine policy and much of his foreign-policy image on the idea that he alone can manage Putin because the Kremlin sees him as strong. But in Russia’s nightly public messaging, he appears as something else entirely: a convenient accelerant of U.S. decline, a negotiator who can be manipulated, and, when fitting, a punchline sandwiched between nuclear threats. If this is what “respect” looks like on Russian state TV, then any peace treaty that Trump may or may not sign will be written in Moscow—and Americans will be the last to know.

Back to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s defence minister Fedorov says drone procurement is now data-driven to avoid corruption and scrap ineffective systems. He adds Ukraine worked with SpaceX to shut Russian Starlinks, cutting enemy streams elevenfold, and separately broke a northern Shahed mesh network.
