Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war.
We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

In the background is a large modern building - Meta headquarters in the UK. In the foreground is a flatbed electric truck with a sign that reads: We fact check the Zuck out of our news.

Taken from a diagonal angle a line of 6 ceramic bowls with a slight pedestal feet. The closest one is decorated with zigzag-swiggly lines made by incising through the white slip so that the darker reddish body of the ceramic shows through. Splashes of green and brown paint on top give additional colour. All the bowls have variations on this colour scheme with different floral, or geometric decorative patterns.
Here are a few @romtoronto.bsky.social Byzantine period bowls from Cyprus pulled for potential loan. It must have been fun to make these post-slip incised lead-glazed wares, all the zigzags, leaf, and floral patterns, with splashes of colour!
