Marzia Cerrai and @PilleRunnel from the Estonian National Museum share tips from their recent ‘Numbers Fascination’ exhibition about how #CulturalHeritageInstitutions can embed #ImpactThinking and #DataCollection into their exhibitions. Learn how ➡️ https://t.co/X65zNGw8oB

Good independence day, Ukrainian friends. We have not forgotten and drowned in our daily tasks, while you face a brutal war against freedom and independence. My colleagues at the Estonian National Museum gathered for Ukrainian Minute. Photo: Arp Karm #SlavaUkraini

The Great Borscht War has apparently reached next stage, as UNESCO has taken its side. https://t.co/bU26Xkvthu

@Olahitan12 @MFA_Ukraine Seriously, jacki? So you are the expert on food security, Eastern European politics AND a firefighter, too?

Today, the Estonian National Museum welcomed visitor no 1 000 000 in its new building. Marite (third from the left) happens to be a folk dancer, so she will have a good use of the gift from us: a national costume from her home parish. NB! Brand new. Not from the collections 😇

Today we hosted NATO at the Estonian National Museum. Located ab 50 km from the russian border, it is a good location for the NATO chess competition. Tell me again, why exactly was russia afraid of the guys, busy with non-violent civic protests? Photo: https://t.co/kjY6g9mg4V

Targeting Ukrainian civilians, systematically and cruelly, day by day. russia has nothing to offer to the world, except suffering and violence, because it knows, it has nothing else to offer to its own citizens. There is no future for war terrorists.

Kremenchuk right now… 🇷🇺deliberately hit shopping center, with more than thousand civilians inside. In the middle of the day. Just because it wants to kill. To fill everything up with Ukrainian blood. RF – a terrorist state. RF – the most disgusting war.

It is Sunday morning, a time for pancakes, peace and good time. Orcs are bombing homes.

The apartment block hit by a Russian missile strike on Kiev this morning.

Reasons why we cannot allow war fatigue to set in:

“This is a war in Europe. But there’s another European war, because the shockwaves can be felt everywhere. It’s the first war since the second world war where you can feel the effects globally.”

Another day in the memescape.

Weird that the latin name for the insects which loved to move in with soviet occupants is 'Blattella germanica'. Anyway, here we are again.

[Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress]

Families of Russian occupiers are moving into the occupied Ukrainian settlements, in particular to Kherson.

Russian "newcomers" arbitrarily inhabit the abandoned houses & apartments of Ukrainians who left to save their lives, Ukrainian deputy MoD said https://t.co/GMqOmb1Pd2

Great to hear someone keep #Ukraine in the news and keep the record straight on Estonia @kajakallas “Let me correct you, Estonia was never part of the Soviet Union, it was occupied by the Soviet Union”

[Pille Runnel @PilleRunnel]

Well, well, well, let's see (sceptical Eastern European in me).

Remembering the victims of mass deportations in Estonia and the Baltic states. On June 14, 1941, more than 10,000 Estonians were deported to Siberia by the Soviet occupants to eliminate resistance. Many were executed in distant Siberia on the basis of a 1942 death sentence.

russians targeted looting in Ukraine focuses on Scythian gold. “There is now very strong evidence this is a purposive Russian move, with specific paintings and ornaments targeted and taken out to Russia." #culturalheritage #looting #russianwarcrimes https://t.co/TEeCwaW5mM

When Putin compared himself to Peter the Great he didn't look 'cornered' or defensive

After 3+ months of war in Ukraine which he claimed was to 'denazify' & not occupy, he now says it straight: he is on a mission to 'return' land to Russia

He's expanding his 'empire'

[Pille Runnel @PilleRunnel]

@pierrelegrain Repercussions: what time scale? Living 49 km from the Russian border, grew up next to a large Soviet military airport. All we have seen for centuries is that the evil grows back - here emotion beats analytical skills. There is nothing like carefully and slowly stopping it forever

[Pille Runnel @PilleRunnel]

I really really have a tough time understanding the calls to not humiliate kremlin. Any examples of humiliation from the past 100+ days?

[Михайло Подоляк @Podolyak_M]

While someone asks not to humiliate 🇷🇺, the Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks. Today’s missile strikes at Kyiv have only 1 goal - kill as many 🇺🇦 as possible. Each of such terrorist attacks must face a tough response from European capitals: more sanctions, more weapons.
