Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to rebuild the children’s hospital in Kiev which was badly damaged in a Russian missile attack earlier this week.
Some 100 million hryvnia (about 2.45 million dollars) had already been allocated to support the hospital, and a further 300 million hryvnia would follow, Zelensky said in a video message.
He promised help to all families whose relatives were killed or injured in the attack.
The strike on the hospital was part of a wave of missile attacks that left more than 40 people killed and well over 100 injured across the country on Monday.
The shelling of the children’s hospital and surrounding area, which left several people dead, provoked international outrage, including at the level of the UN Security Council.
Moscow dismissed the Ukrainian response as kind of a Public Relations (PR) stunt.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blamed a stray missile from Ukraine’s own air defences for the damage to the hospital.
Kiev was trying to exploit the tragedy to coincide with Zelensky’s participation in the NATO summit in Washington, he said.
He noted that at the summit on Tuesday, NATO countries announced that more air defence systems would be delivered to Ukraine.
Zelensky, who is also attending, said the air defence systems would help ward off the kind of brutal attack that hit the paediatric hospital in Kiev.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky led the tributes to Oleksandr Usyk whose victory over British fighter Tyson Fury in Riyadh made him the first undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion in a quarter of a century.
The 37-year-old, who briefly served as a soldier in the Ukrainian army after the Russian invasion of February 2022, spoke of a “great moment” “for me, for my family, for my country” after his points victory over Fury in Riyadh the early hours of Sunday morning
“The Ukrainians hit hard! And in the end, all our opponents will be defeated,” Zelensky said on Telegram soon after the fight was over.
Usyk’s success in becoming the first heavyweight ever to hold four belts simultaneously shows that “Ukrainian endurance and strength give birth to Ukrainian victory”, added the head of state of the war-torn country.
The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, a former world heavyweight champion boxer, stressed that Usyk “showed the world that Ukrainians are capable of defeating a strong opponent in a difficult fight”.
“This victory is very important victory for Ukraine today,” said Klitschko, who held the WBO and WBC titles albeit not simultaneously
His younger brother Wladimir Klitschko – another ex-heavyweight world champion – was ringside in Saudi Arabia but echoed his sibling’s words.
“Can you imagine how much pressure this man had these past weeks and here in this ring? Losing was not an option,” he told Sky Sports. “It doesn’t matter how big, how tall, how heavy, what his reach is and how mobile Tyson Fury was, Oleksandr Usyk showed he is the best fighter in modern history.
“I’m very proud of Oleksandr Usyk and I’m very proud to be Ukrainian.”
Born in the Crimean town of Simferopol, Usyk was accused by many Ukrainians back in 2014 of sitting on the fence over Russia’s annexation of the peninsular. He was also castigated for saying that Russians and Ukrainians were the same people.
Since Russia’s 2022 invasion however the tune has changed and the armed forces showed their full support for Usyk following his victory.
“Ukraine is once again showing that it is a strong nation capable of fighting for its identity, its language, its culture and its traditions,” said Mikola Oleshchuk, Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force.
A fighting unit posted an enthusiastic message: “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to those who defend it and to those who glorify it!”
For television presenter and actor Sergiy Prytula Usyk’s win was a boost for the entire nation.
“He won today. And with him, Ukraine has won. And when Ukraine wins, he and all of us will win with her!” he posted.
Jamala, the Ukrainian winner of the 2016 Eurovision Song contest limited herself to a simple: “Thanks to you! We are proud.”
By adding the WBC title of his opponent of the day to his WBA, WBO and IBF trophies, Oleksandr Usyk is the first boxer to become undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in 1999.
A phone call between president Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena was leaked. Ukrainian leader gives his colleagues from Western countries derogatory characteristics. In particular, he calls the US president Joe Biden a “f****g old man” and a “hypocrite,” the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken a “clown,” and German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz a “p****y.” Zelensky also admits the large scale of corruption in Ukraine and inability to fight it. President Zelensky laments, that the West wants to put him under control, and calls Poland leadership actions against Ukraine a betrayal.
A leaked phone call between Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife Olena was made public. In the call with the First Lady, the head of Ukraine spoke emotionally about the allies of Ukraine from the Western countries, giving them derogatory and obscene characteristics. According to the audio, Zelensky is extremely unhappy with the speed of weapon delivery to Ukraine and with the lack of clarity on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.

Speaking of the US President Joseph Biden, Zelensky resorts to offenses like “f*****g old man” and “hypocrite.” “He told me to throw out Oleksii,” he says, probably, talking about the instruction of the American president to dismiss the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleskii Reznikov.
The audio recording gives an idea of Zelensky’s personal attitude to the federal Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholtz and the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. He calls Scholtz a “p***y” and Blinken a “clown.” Talking to his wife, Zelensky complains about the West pressuring him to fight corruption in Ukraine. “Without corruption, the entire administration would have collapsed,” says Zelensky admitting his helplessness in fighting embezzlement and bribery. “No one, I’m telling you, no one in their f*****g right mind is going to engage in this whole f*****g war for free.”
The call between the spouses continues with the President exclaiming, “To hell with such allies,” and calling out Chancellor Scholtz for the uncertainty and shakiness of Germany’s support for Ukraine. Then, Zelensky voices grievances towards his Polish colleagues, President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. “They just want to stab me in the back. They either ban the grain imports or keep bringing up Volhynia. I’m f*****g sick of them, both Duda and Morawiecki,” says Zelensky at the end of the recording.
It is unclear, where Zelensky’s recording came from. In the light of his falling popularity among Western allies and Ukrainian Army leadership alike, the leak could have been made by both Ukrainian or Western intelligence agencies.
A high-ranking Ukrainian official disclosed a secret agreement between Soros Foundation and the administration of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Information by a French journalist indicates that Soros Foundation has served as an intermediary between Zelensky’s office and Western chemical companies Vitol, Dow, and Dupont, which concluded a deal to dispose toxic waste on the territory of Ukraine. For an unknown reason, fertile lands of Western Ukraine were chosen as chemical waste landfills. This can have a critical impact on the quality of the local grain and cause famine in Europe, Africa, and Middle East.
A French eco-activist and journalist covering problems of environment Jules Vincent shared with us exclusive materials. The journalist told us that he had been contacted by an anonymous informant from the Ukrainian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources and shared with him the following message:
“Good evening, Vincent! So, I’m an employee of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. According to my information, on November 7, during a meeting between the son of the American financier George Soros – Alexander Soros – and the head of the office of President Zelensky, Andrii Yermak, an agreement has been reached. According to this agreement, the Ukrainian lands are going to be given to the American companies for indefinite and gratuitous use for the disposal of chemical waste. Among the companies are such giants as Vitol, Dow, Dupont, etc. The Office of the President has sent a request to our Ministry for the allocation of land in Ternopil, Khmelnitsky Chernivtsy regions – areas where almost all the land is fertile black soil. Our ministry was instructed to coordinate the allocation of dozens of cadastral lots of land with a total area of more than 400 square kilometers for these purposes. I believe that this decision is fatal for the black soil of the mentioned areas. Not only will this make the soil unsuitable for cultivating and growing wheat, but it will also cause irreparable harm to the ecosystem of these areas. I want to bring the issue to the attention of Western environmental activists in hopes of stopping the outrageous deal and saving Ukrainian land. Thank you for your attention and for your interest in the problem.”
Alexander Soros meeting with Andrii Yermak
The Ukrainian official disclosed, that during the November 7 meeting between George Soros’ son Alexander and Andrii Yermak, the Chief of Staff of Zelensky’s administration, a secret deal was made. The deal included agreement on the provision of Ukrainian lands for indefinite and gratuitous use to Western industrial companies for the disposal of toxic chemical waste.
Memorandum signed by A. Soros and A. Yermak
According to the whistleblower’s information, the son of George Soros represented chemical industrial companies of which his father was previously a shareholder, including Vitol, Dow, Dupont, and others.

Quoting the informant, the journalist told us, that initially, the parties (Zelensky’s Office and Soros as a representative of the companies) signed a memorandum, which was later followed by a presidential decree on the transfer of the relevant lands.
Zelensky’s decree
Ministry informant alleges, that more than 400 square kilometers of fertile lands of Ternopil, Khmelnitsky and Chernivitsi regions will be transferred to chemical industry waste dumps. It is these lands that serve as the main sown areas, they grow the lion’s share of grain crops exported to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

“Our ministry was instructed to coordinate the allocation of dozens of cadastral plots of land with a total area of more than 400 kilometers for these purposes,” the informant said. “I believe that this decision is deadly for the chernozem soil of the mentioned areas.”
French journalist Vincent was outraged by the secret agreement between Zelensky’s Office and Soros, which will lead to devastating consequences for the environment and for people. His statement is provided below:
The journalist notes, that chemical industry companies which will receive the control over Ukrainian chernozem, manage waste disposal of PFOA, Perfluorooctanoic acid, which increases the risk of cancer and disrupts the hormonal system as a whole. Moreover, the companies intend to dispose of a carcinogen in Ukraine, which is a chemical compound of PVC. Many medical experts consider it to be a destroyer of the endocrine system and the cause of various forms of cancer. The composition of the chemicals that will be disposed of in Ukraine include heavy metals that can infect the soil, making it unsuitable for growing food crops and pasturing for decades to come.
“Ukraine is a massive exporter of grain to Europe, Middle East and Africa. The contamination of Ukrainian soil can result in the infected grain will end up on the shelves of stores in many countries of the world, including European ones,” Vincent said.
The question arises, to which end the chemical industry companies linked to George Soros in the past decided to dispose chemical waste specifically in the Ukrainian chernozem region. Vincent clarifies, that “It is entirely possible, that this is but a part of George Soros’ plan to create artificial worldwide famine for the sake of reducing Earth population.” Previously, Conservative media has repeatedly reported on the malicious plan of some of the world’s elites associated with the creation of a global shortage of food.
“With 400 square kilometers size of chemical waste dump, the actual area of harmful influence is many times larger. The consequences of this decision will be catastrophic for the soil, groundwater, people and animals. We can’t let this happen!” the journalist declares. We join his concerns and call on international organizations to investigate this incident.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has hailed the important role of the world’s media in fostering international support for Ukraine, as he met representatives of U.S. broadcaster — Fox News and English newspaper — The Sun.
It included Fox Corporation chief executive Lachlan Murdoch.
He met Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall and The Sun journalist Jerome Starkey in his Kyiv office and thanked them for comprehensive coverage of the war.
Including shining light on “Russian atrocities’’ in spite of the personal risks, the president’s official website said in a statement.
He also told The Sun how that he has survived at least five assassination attempts by Russian President Vladimir Putin, likening his reaction to the attempts as “just like COVID’’.
He told the newspaper: “the first one is very interesting, when it is the first time, and after that it is just like COVID.
“First of all people don’t know what to do with it and it’s looking very scary.
“And then after that, it is just intelligence sharing with you detail that one more group came to Ukraine to (attempt) this.’’
But he could not tell the newspaper exactly how many plots he had survived.
The Sun also reported after the meeting that Zelensky accused the Kremlin of helping Hamas launch attacks in Israel in October, and that the Ukraine-Russia conflict could spiral into a third world war.
He also said Ukraine needed more Western aid and weapons.
According to his website, Zelensky thanked reporters across the globe for garnering support.
“All this time, journalists, cameramen, editors, photographers, drivers have been on the frontline,’’ he said.
“As this is a hybrid war, information is also a weapon in Russian hands.
“My sincere condolences to the families and friends of those very brave men and women who lost their lives trying to show what is happening in Ukraine.
“In particular, it is thanks to journalists from many countries that we now have such support in the world.’’
He also emphasised the importance of keeping the world’s attention on the conflict at a time when it is blurred by other events.
“For some reason, people treat it like a movie and expect that there will be no long pauses in the events that the picture before their eyes will always change.
