It turns out that I am not a reasonable person…

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Putin:

Any reasonable person fully realizes that Russia has never had, does not have, and will never have any desire to attack anyone.

@AmbJapanUK Since I’ve enjoyed your work for so long, I though i’d share that I’m out with three @LivAncWorlds enjoying the marvellous Japanese seafood on Rebun Island on our collaborative archaeological research & teaching programme hosted by @HokkaidoUni at the Hamanaka II site! Fantastic!

Small manifestations of reality Ukrainians live in:

The tag says: “My dog is home alone. Please, inform the people, <indicated> on the other side of the tag”.

If it seems like a regular tag to you, think why Ukrainians put it on their keychains.

I hear it is a good omen when it rains on #Naadam! Nothing can stop the wrestlers!

[Pete Hommel 🇺🇦🌻🇲🇳 🇬🇪 @Hommel_bee]

Wishing all my Mongolian friends and colleagues a very Happy Naadam! Sorry not to be with our team in the field this year, but at least I’ve made it down for UK Naadam in London :)

Insanity. Is there anyone left Trump hasn’t blamed for starting the war other than Russia?

JD Vance laughing when talking about Putin invading Ukraine

Ahahaha, how funny! A sovereign state was invaded, its towns and villages destroyed, people killed, and children kidnapped. There is torture, looting, and rape. hahaha.

Moron.

[Pete Hommel 🇺🇦🌻🇲🇳 🇬🇪 @Hommel_bee]

Well played.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Just make sure you say it in the original Russian.

@LindseyGrahamSC You're a spineless sellout.

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

More than 600 British service personnel lost their lives fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Soldiers from more than a dozen European nations were killed on those conflicts, including a number from Ukraine. They were sent to those places following the terrorist attacks on Washington and New York. How quickly you forget Lindsey.

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Even if the UK is the only country in the world supporting Ukraine, we should keep supporting them.

They are on the front line of our defence. Their sons and daughters are fighting and dying for our freedom.

We should be thanking them.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.

For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.

Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

[Alex Bond @AlexBondODUA]

I'm proud of Zelensky.
Trump/Vance looks pathetic.

Do you agree?

Yes/No

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I cannot remember a moment in American history when our foreign policy shifted so dramatically & quickly.

Trump doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. He wants to join the autocratic world.

I hope the US Congress and the American people will prevent this switch.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

There is an aggressor: Russia.

There is a victim: Ukraine.

We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.

By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.

Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.
