When foreigners are calling for a dialogue with RU, I just laugh. We tried it all. If anything, our biggest mistake was being pushovers way too long. Not anymore. Being nice just doesn’t work with Russians. Russia has to be defeated, and for this, we need to #ArmUkraineNow.
Russian pop legend Alla Pugacheva has asked to be declared “foreign agent” in solidarity with showbiz husband Maxim Galkin, who she says "wants prosperity for the motherland, peace, free speech & an end to our lads dying for illusory aims that make our country a pariah..." Wow.
Russian border guards are reportedly not allowing "DNR/LNR" (Donbas) residents who collaborated with Russian authorities to seek refuge in Russia. Russian volunteers helping them at the border say that these people will be prosecuted by Ukraine and have been betrayed by Russia.
The UK's languages deficit is bad for business abroad - Read Prof. Neil Bermel (Russian & Slavonic Studies) comment piece in the @yorkshirepost:

Kolonisierte ethnische Minderheiten werden als Kanonenfutter von Putin in dem russischen Kolonialkrieg gegen die Ukraine verheizt, daneben das Prekariat aus der Provinz, Arbeitslose und bald auch Gefängnisinsassen. Eine Generalmobilmachung gibt es nicht. (1/3)
I have the full recording, but I will post a piece of it. In occupied Donetsk, collaborators catch men on the streets and forcibly send them to the front to fight for Russia with Ukraine. In this way Russia forces Ukrainians to kill each other. It’s war crimes, but who cares 1/2

Point de rencontre de cinq cantons et de deux langues, la région #Jura3Lacs est aussi celle dont les eaux bleu-vert présentent une parfaite relation de complémentarité avec les doux reliefs des collines et ses cités pluriséculaires @Le_Figaro 📝 https://t.co/bYSGCprxgK
This phrase of Russian soldiers sounds in different variations in the stories of people which we gathered from different regions of Ukraine. Russians tell them: "You live too well. We don't like it. Soon you will live like us"
It is the real purpose of the "special operation" 1/2
This war did not begin 53 days ago. Ukrainians recognize that the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine on 20 February 2014. They are all aware it's a continuation of a war that began when Bolshevik Russia invaded independent Ukraine in December 1917.
@ButlerJohnW I agree John. Ukraine has been ignored for 8 years already in the same fashion. This has not just started. This hatred in civilian life has been going on for far longer than that and the "west" never knew
MANY of us warned FOR YEARS that Russian chauvinism, imperialism, and dehumanizing hatred of Ukrainians was rampant, and needed to be addressed. But the myth of "Bad Putin, Good Russians" persisted in the West. Will broad Russian support for open genocide on UA finally open eyes?
