@TeamYouTube YouTube is closing two legitimate channels reporting on events in Ukraine: @RFU and @puntofocaleucraina. Both channels have been subject to bot attacks falsely alleging violations of YouTube’s policies. Please ensure the availability of @RFU and @puntofocaleucraina

TOMORROW:
Australia, send the Taipan helicopters to Ukraine!

Australia plans to spend $2 billion to SCRAP dozens of its helicopters, instead of sending them to Ukraine.
Ukraine has asked for these helis. Tell Australia to do the right thing!

@RichardMarlesMP - worm.

[John G @celtic1984JGS]

@RichardMarlesMP What about the Taipans? Zero info as to why these are not being sent to Ukraine

[JanTheStitchWitch @pictureladyjan]

@RichardMarlesMP If you are standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, please ensure that ALL redundant equipment the Ukrainians say they can use, is sent to them. Trust them to know what’s useful. They have already proved themselves 1000 times over. Training is great. Helicopters too please.

[Kidsbooke @Kidsbooke]

@RichardMarlesMP Standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine? Really? Then send the Taipan helicopters to Ukraine! #FreeTheTaipans

[Kidsbooke @Kidsbooke]

@AlboMP Meanwhile, RuZZia is destroying homes in Ukraine, and killing their occupants, and you quietly dismantle and bury working helicopters that could help to stop the genocide. #FreeTheTaipans

[Persona Non Grata 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 🇬🇪 @SimonBanished]

Australia is decommissioning 45 MRH Taipan helicopters at great cost to the taxpayer, when a much better use is for them is as an investment in the rules-based order on which we all depend - please send them to Ukraine.

9/ To @AlboMP and @RichardMarlesMP, I only ask that you lead Australia in doing the right thing here. At the very least, we owe our citizens & #Ukraine a full & honest answer of what has happened & what we can do to resolve this situation. I believe our country can do better. End

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

8/ The lack of transparency around this issue speaks poorly of Defence, the government and democracy here. As a country, we can and should do much better to communicate government decision making to citizens. And to support other democracies in desperate need of assistance.

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

7/ The Australian government should immediately suspend any disposal action on the Taipans. Further, it should establish a rapid & independent review of whether they are technically capable of still being flown and sent to Ukraine.

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

5/ Not only is this a scandalous decision, it is immoral. Rushing to bury useable helicopters rather than transferring them to a nation fighting for its life is shameful and a national embarrassment.

[Australian Voice for Ukraine 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇦 @aus_forukraine]

We and a growing number of very pissed off Australians couldn’t agree more! Why spend taxpayers money for simply destroying $2B worth of equipment that could save lives of our friends in need AND be cheaper?! We demand answers @RichardMarlesMP @AlboMP
#FreeTheTaipans

[Australian Voice for Ukraine 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇦 @aus_forukraine]

Why won’t the Australian Government @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP provide reasons for ignoring Ukraine’s request and instead choosing to secretly dismantle and bury (at Australian taxpayers’ cost) the 45 decommissioned #Taipan helicopters worth $20M each?! #FreeTheTaipans

[Kidsbooke @Kidsbooke]

By not sending those 45 Taipan helicopters to Ukraine, @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP and @SenatorWong are complicit in RuZZia’s genocide. Grow a spine, you mealy-mouthed cut-outs, and send the Taipans to Ukraine. #FreeTheTaipans.

A squib of a firework pops
Near a dome of the Kremlin and drops;
Thus will Russia explain
Killing kids in Ukraine,
In their beds and their gardens and shops.

🇺🇦 #Ukraine

[Kidsbooke @Kidsbooke]

The Russians explained it so well,
How their bombs that hit Belgorod fell -
‘The abnormal descent
Of munitions unspent’ -
Has it happened in Moscow as well?
