Yatsenyuk says 2008 NATO membership could have prevented conflicts
Yatsenyuk: If NATO had accepted Ukraine in 2008, there would have been no Georgia, no Crimea, no great war. Rubio's arrival here is perceived far better than JD Vance's visit last year. But there are cracks in NATO — and they need to be mended. 7X pic.twitter.com/GsBmIpuSpF

Yatsenyuk: Russian delegation lacks authority for real negotiations
Yatsenyuk: These are no negotiations — even Russian FM calls them consults. Medinsky is a nobody with no authority. Ukraine sent the head of President's Office, diplomats, military. Russia sent no one allowed to make decisions. There isn't even a hint of a real negotiations. 6/ pic.twitter.com/19ycRWLiZ2

Yatsenyuk accuses China of being co-conspirator in Russia’s war
Yatsenyuk: China's FM statement is a textbook example of cynicism — they completely repeated Lavrov's narrative. China finances Russian economy, supplies dual-use goods, cooperates on intelligence, sponsors North Korea. They are co-conspirators in Russia's war. 5/ pic.twitter.com/yIqFb1Je2i

Yatsenyuk: Putin stalls talks, bombs Ukraine, relies on Kyiv hardships
Yatsenyuk: Putin is not really negotiating. He wants to drag out negotiations, delay sanctions, sow discord within the EU, and keep bombing Ukraine.

Come to Kyiv if you're tired. There isn't always water and almost never electricity. That's what Putin is counting on. 4/ pic.twitter.com/BFUPYIiAObYatsenyuk: Putin is not really negotiating.
