I'm baffled by comments from Nuland about ending sanctions if Putin ends his invasion. After murdering thousands? Why is it always rewards, no punishment, always taking things off the table? Stop rushing to save Putin's regime. Toss him an anvil, not a lifejacket.
Four things we should push for:
1. More weapons to Ukraine
2. No fly zone over Ukraine, by NATO or donated NATO planes
3. Total embargo on Russian oil and gas
4. Cut all remaining Russian banks from SWIFT
Retweet if you agree!
March 25, 1949 marks the 70th anniversary of mass deportation of #Baltic people to Siberia by Soviet regime. Such atrocities were committed against Crimean tatars in 1944 as well.
🇷🇺 continues to employ the same methods to this date, conducting the hybrid deportation in Crimea.

Не Коломойському і не Путіну вирішувати, хто буде українським президентом. Конституційні повноваження має для цього виключно український народ. І я буду робити все можливе, щоб захистити конституційні права українського народу.
Democracy in #Ukraine is messy & far from perfect, but it's competitive. We're 5 days from presidential election & less that 26 days from almost certain run-off, but no one knows who will win. In contrast, we knew in 2013 who would win 2018 presidential election in Russia.
We all know Ukraine has its challenges, War with Russia, ongoing war against corruption, poverty, etc - but by god she is also making real progress in many areas
Just read earlier GDP grown by record 3.3% in 2018 & now this, her passport has climbed to 40th in world rankings🇺🇦

За 100 кілометрів від Херсона знаходиться унікальний природний феномен - озеро, в якому 35% солі. Це навіть більше, ніж у Мертвому морі.

MR JONES. This felt like the first really exciting (new) (fiction) film I’ve seen all festival. The story of Gareth Jones, the Welsh reporter who exposed the 1932-33 famine in the Soviet Union, inspiring Orwell’s Animal Farm - told with a striking visual style and rhythm.
Kyiv District Administrative Court has canceled the ban on acting Health Minister @usuprun, which prevented her from performing ministerial duties. According to Hromadske's correspondent, the decision was made not due to government pressure, but of the court's own initiative.
Check out the highlights from the Drinks Reception with #MrJones Director Agnieszka Holland, James Norton, Peter Sarsgaard and guests before the World Premiere last night at #Berlinale2019.
