Sumy. A terrorist strike by russia against a peaceful Ukrainian city.
This morning, russia launched a ballistic missile attack on the center of Sumy. Civilians were killed and injured. Sincere condolences to the families of those who became victims of this strike.
It happened on Palm Sunday, as people were on their way to church. The strike on civilians was deliberate and insidious. This was no accident — it was terror.
The world must respond. Ukrainian lives depend on the determination of our allies.
We urgently need additional air defense. At the same time, work must continue on real and effective security guarantees for Ukraine and our citizens.
Strong, united actions can stop the russian aggressor.
🌊🌍 It’s our responsibility to protect the ocean for future generations to come.
The ocean is more than just a beautiful part of our planet—it’s the lifeblood of Earth. It provides us with oxygen, regulates climate, and sustains countless species. We all play a part in safeguarding the blue planet for those who come after us.

Leó Major, known as the real-life Rambo, served in the Canadian Army during World War II. He demonstrated tremendous bravery throughout the war, capturing a German Armored Vehicle with secret codes and single-handedly apprehending 93 German soldiers in the Netherlands. Despite losing an eye to a phosphorus grenade and being injured by a landmine, Major recovered and returned to duty.
One incident in the Dutch town of Zwolle showcased Major's extraordinary heroism. While on a scouting mission with his friend Willy Arsenault, their position was compromised, leading to Arsenault's death. In response, Major fought back, killing two enemy troops and seizing Arsenault's weapons. Fueled by anger, Major embarked on a one-person rampage, entering Zwolle alone to free the town from German troops.
Major drove a hijacked German vehicle into town and engaged the enemy, creating the impression of a much larger attacking force. He captured around 100 enemy troops, set fire to the Gestapo HQ, and forced the Germans to retreat. The Dutch resistance took control of the town hall, and the next day, the allies entered Zwolle without encountering resistance. Major's actions saved civilian lives.
After the war, Major served in the Korean War before retiring to Canada. He lived a quiet life until his death in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of remarkable bravery and selflessness.
When we go, we go together.
