By striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity, Putin has forever put his name on the list of history’s worst barbarians.
He should be damned for centuries. And he will lose this war.
From the Horde in the 13th century to the Nazis and Bolsheviks in the 20th century, Kyiv’s sacred monasteries have suffered numerous barbarically attacks.
Now we are dealing with Russian terrorists who have already outmatched ISIS in their crimes against cultural heritage. Only Russian scum who have nothing sacred can deliberately damage the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a unique UNESCO heritage site under special protection.
We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism.
We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism.
Night summary:
- Ukraine struck a Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl and an explosives factory in Chapayevsk. There are no reports of casualties or fatalities.
- Russia struck Odesa (1 civilian killed, 11 injured), including the city maternity hospital, and Kryvyi Rih (2 civilians killed, 2 injured).
This is what this war looks like.
En strategisk fråga kring identitet och vilken typ av klubb BoIS ska vara. Årsmötet hade kunnat vara ett utmärkt forum för den här typen av dialoger. Nu hoppas jag @landskronabois bemötande av detta inte fastnar i operativa detaljer.
I såna här situationer som vi ska vara tacksamma att @Ldlandskrona finns och kan föra vår supportertalan. Väl rutet. Tillsammans är vi starka. Tillsammans är vi jävligt starka.
@toggebois@filipsoderkvist Stark vi-känsla med spelartruppen bör vara en grundbult i klubbens rekryteringsstrategi. Inte bara för att det är kul utan också som en framgångsfaktor. Omvittnat att det varit viktig del i t ex Mjällbys och Bodös resor.
@toggebois@filipsoderkvist Håller till viss del med om känslan kring kommunikation/transparens utan att kunna sätta fingret på något jag tycker man borde göra väsentligt annorlunda. Men superviktigt med ”vi-känslan” med spelartruppen.
@toggebois@filipsoderkvist Såklart bättre förutsättningar för vi-känslan med truppen ju fler från LA med omnejd i den men finns många exempel på spelare med annan bakgrund där starka band knutits. Svante och Heden genom personligheter och hur de valde att engagera sig, Max N mer genom sitt sätt på plan.
@filipsoderkvist@toggebois Har svårt att se den bilden som förklaring till det låga deltagandet på årsmötena. Tydlig negativ trend i flera år under tiden det var ur-landskronitiskt på tränarbänken och betydligt fler med randig bakgrund i spelartruppen.
@toggebois Pratade om detta med några efter mötet igår. Vissa klubbar ”kommenderar” a-truppen att vara på plats vilket i sig kanske ger lite dragningskraft till årsmötena. Men det bör finnas mer att fundera på.
@toggebois Varit en stadig nedgång i antal årsmötesdeltagare sedan 2018. Från 100-150 st åren efter till att gå under 100 och stadigt vidare neråt. 67 röstberättigade igår och nästan uteslutande äldre herrar. Tråkigt och lite oroväckande.
As usual, a dictator's people celebrate his demise, his long-suffering victims dance in the streets, and Western pols and pundits who have never known repression or hardship, let alone torture, criticize for partisan reasons of their own.
Mr @NYCMayor,
I say it as an Iranian New Yorker: You are a human garbage.
When our people were getting slaughtered and hunted like animals by the Islamic Republic terrorists, you stayed silent. You didn't say a word. Now that the regime, the murderers of our people are under attack, you came out of the woodwork to defend them.
You are an Islamist human garbage and I fight your agenda as long as I breathe.
Don’t look away. The richest nations, the strongest military alliance in the history of the world are right next door and choose every day not to stop this. All while Ukrainian soldiers defend their cozy complacency.
@BPodden Westström har älgat som bara den dessa första matcher i vinter. Ser väldigt lovande ut med han och Bruce i lite mer traditionella ytterbacksroller.
Russia and Iran, united in a partnership to murder unarmed innocent people. The mighty free world allowing them to do so for so long will be a stain on the collective conscience forever.
The EU is a triumph of peace through bureaucracy, but that doesn't work against an external aggressor or internal saboteurs working with one. If the European experiment is to survive, it must find a way to act to defend its principles, not just talk about them.
🎯 For a year now, Trump has helped Russia by talking about peace plans and negotiations that have gone nowhere by design and done nothing to stop the fighting. It's been a performance to delay needed independent action by Europe.
Ukraine has never sought war. We agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, looked for opportunities for peace, and repeatedly offered the world ways to stop the strikes in the sky, on land, and at sea. But it is Russia that continually obstructs this process – manipulating, dragging out negotiations, terrorizing our people with airstrikes, and intensifying assaults along the front line. The war continues only because Moscow does not want it to end.
Almost every day, Russian terrorists carry out hundreds of attacks on our critical and civilian infrastructure. This week alone, Russia has used more than 3,270 attack drones, 1,370 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 50 missiles of various types against Ukraine. We are constantly strengthening our defense and working with partners to enhance air defense: the PURL initiative, investments in Ukraine’s defense industry, bilateral and multilateral formats. Putin cannot be stopped with words – pressure is needed. The world sees that Russia responds to strength, which means that peace through strength can work. Ukraine will never grant terrorists any bounty for their crimes, and we count on our partners to uphold this very position. Decisive steps are needed from the United States, Europe, the G20 and G7 countries. Lives must be protected. I thank everyone who is helping in this effort.
Today’s rallies in defense of the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions in Kyiv.
The funniest part is that Russian Z-fascists are watching it, rejoicing and rubbing their hands, thinking these rallies somehow bring Ukraine closer to collapse and defeat.
While in reality, it’s precisely the fact that Ukraine’s civil society takes to the streets, protests, and keeps kicking its own government in the ass even during wartime -- this is one of the key fundamental reasons why this country broke free from Russian colonial subjugation, is carrying out difficult and painful reforms, reviving its identity and national pride, and has been resisting Russia’s power for twelve years already, including three and a half years of full-scale war.
If not for this, among other things, Ukraine would’ve ceased to exist long ago.
This is what makes Ukraine stronger - not weaker.
Russian fascists have spent years, with the stubbornness of an imbecile, refusing to admit that democratic, active Ukraine is not a servile tsarist Russia -- and that there is an abyss between the two countries, even on the mental level.
And that is what will ultimately bury them.
