We focus on international political news relevant to Ukraine. Welcome to join our conversation!

Russia never went through the procedure of joining the UN, and yet it is about to chair its Security Council, even as it fights a war of aggression and commits atrocities. This should be stopped.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

From 2019 until February 24, 2022, Ukraine engaged in 88 rounds of diplomatic negotiations with Russia, mediated by France and Germany, in an attempt to bring an end to the war. However, Russia imitated diplomacy while preparing for a full-scale assault. @United24media has more.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Another reminder for the “deescalate and talk!” appeasement crowd. Putin uses talks to prepare for force, ignore ceasefires, spread corruption, and manipulate the diplomatic arena. It’s never in good faith so stop making the same mistake. https://t.co/AjhgjRXfLk

Zaporizhzhya region. A peaceful Ukrainian village, shelled by russian incendiary ammunition.
Not a single Ukrainian military facility in sight. This is a violation of Protocol III of the CCW Convention and a pathetic attempt at revenge by the losers.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

After Russia's terror attack today, let’s give up on incremental sanctions & go for one set:

- against all western companies & individuals who deal with Russia;
- Navalny's list of 6.700 Putin cronies;
- Send the frozen €300 billion of Russian Central Bank directly to Ukraine!

How’s it to be next to a butcher in the Chamber? Do you feel warm & sticky blood when you shake his hand? Next time you shake his hand think about civilians killed by russian missiles in #Dnipro! Think about it when the butchers speak of russian church that blessed russian army

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

P.S. Like Germany after 1945, a complete defeat of Russian imperialism in 2023 would begin to create the permissive conditions for Russia to finally become a normal, European country after the Putin era ends. 2/END

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Eternal memory to all whose lives were taken by 🇷🇺 terror! The world must stop evil. Debris clearance in Dnipro continues. All services are working. We're fighting for every person, every life. We'll find everyone involved in terror. Everyone will bear responsibility. Utmost.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I'm not an expert on WWII. Were people in 1943 still discussing what annexed lands Hitler would get to keep as part of a "peace settlement"?

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

So it’s ok for Iran to provide Russia with long range weapons, but not ok for NATO to provide Ukraine with weapons of similar ranges?

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Israeli neutrality in Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine was always an ethical error. It is now perfectly clear that it was also a strategic disaster.

[Samuel Ramani @SamRamani2]

Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs Nachman Shai expresses support for arming Ukraine:

"The time has come for Ukraine to receive military aid as well, just as the USA and NATO countries provide"

[Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress]

Kyiv under massive Shahed drone attack; explosions are heard. Air defense reportedly shot down. Reportedly, a building is on fire after drone impact

[Dr. Ian Garner @irgarner]

A compromise solution is easy: simply disband NATO, transfer America’s nuclear arsenal to Moscow, and offer Putin every country a Russian has ever visited.

…can I have an NYT column now?

[Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews]

Russian soldiers have shot dead a Ukrainian musician in his home after he refused to take part in a concert in occupied Kherson. https://t.co/WZSe2KsF5l

[Михайло Подоляк @Podolyak_M]

Russia launched a missile towards Kharkiv, but something went wrong and it hit residential building in Belgorod, Russia. Will there be an investigation? Or punishment? No, Putin does not care who to kill: Ukrainians or Russians. Propagandists will quickly find a fake explanation.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

شكراً لجميع الدول الـ 143 التي أيّدت القرار التاريخي للجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة بشأن "السلامة الإقليمية لأوكرانيا: الدفاع عن مبادئ ميثاق الأمم المتحدة". لقد نطق العالم بكلمته: محاولة روسيا ضم الأراضي الأوكرانية لاغية وباطلة ولن تعترف بها الأمم الحرّة أبدًا.

[Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress]

Russia launched its massive onslaught on Ukraine on Feb 24
We pay tribute to the heroic men & women who stood to fight the Russian invaders. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten

RIP- Mykola Samak (22), Illia Chernilevsky, Ihnat Kalafatov (20), Vasyl Paslavsky

The woman from this viral video is Maria, a Ukrainian refugee from #Kherson. She accidentally got into the crowd of a pro-Russian rally in Prague and was attacked - pushed, spat on, and insulted.

"I am glad that I gave those people the opportunity to show themselves," she wrote
