Hey, so fun fact: Russia (and the brand making this lip balm is, in fact, Russian) appropriated borsch, a Ukrainian dish, while simultaneously killing Ukrainians, systematically trying to erase our culture and using famine as a weapon.
24+ hours of Russia hitting Kyiv and other regions, non-stop. The attacks started right after world leaders left the capital, having just come to stand with Ukraine for Independence Day. Coincidence? Sure.
Yesterday alone, Kyiv had 13 +air raid alerts the most since this war started
over 14 hours combined under sirens. Schools disrupted. Metro and trains disrupted. Plans cancelled, sleep stolen, millions of people just living in fear because that’s the point. Russia isn’t confused about what these attacks do to civilians
that’s the goal. This isn’t a country that wants peace. It’s a country that wants terror for as long as the world lets it get away with it. Ukraine needs more air defense, more pressure, more sanctions, right now.
A protected sky isn’t optional it’s the whole ballgame.
World after 2022 allowed me to better understand the world of 1930s as a historian, giving inside and personal experience how societies act in face of evil.
🇷🇺🇰🇵Nous n'aurions jamais dû laisser la Corée du Nord envoyer des troupes en Ukraine.
Cela aurait dû être une ligne rouge : si Pyongyang envoie des troupes, alors nous aussi.
Cette posture de faiblesse de la part de l'OTAN est insupportable. Nous avons laissé la Corée du Nord entraîner ses troupes chez nous, en Europe, à tuer des Ukrainiens. Il faut se rendre compte quand même de l'énormité de la chose, il y a 5 ans personne n'aurait pu l'imaginer.
Déjà que laisser la Corée du Nord tester ses missiles balistiques sur les villes ukrainiennes est une aberration mais le déploiement de troupes constitue une escalade certaine et intolérable. Les rumeurs selon lesquelles ils risquent d'en envoyer à nouveau devraient nous alerter sur la réponse à apporter.
L'Europe ne doit pas accepter que la pire dictature de la Terre entraîne ses troupes en Ukraine. Et si nous ne voulons pas envoyer nous-même nos soldats pour aider à défendre l'Ukraine, alors donnons-leur au moins les moyens de se défendre efficacement et levons les restrictions inutiles.
C'est un échec moral profond pour l'Europe que de laisser faire la Russie et la Corée du Nord.
Russia is a “peaceful” country — if you ignore the several dozen nations it has invaded, occupied, or bombed over the past few centuries.
Peace, russian-style, just tends to involve someone else’s territory.
This photo must be seen by the entire world so people understand what Russia truly is.
A mother is holding her child as tightly as she can, trying to shield them with her own body while Russia drops guided аerial bоmbs on Sumy.
No child should grow up in a reality like this. No mother should have to become a human shield to protect her child.
Being Ukrainian is one day randomly finding out that one of the world’s most well-known feminists has been passionately spreading genocidal narratives against your nation for more than a decade.
A 14 year old girl in Nikopol almost committed suicide because she "could no longer handle the fears of constant shelling and life in a frontline town".
Russians kill in more ways than bullets and drones
