This is what Christianity truly means to Russia.
The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the oldest and most significant monastery of Eastern Slavic Orthodox Christianity, a UNESCO site with almost 1,000 years of history, was under Russian attack last night in Ukraine’s capital city.
This is what happens in reality while that monstrous Soviet KGB regime obsessed with war and territorial grabs tries to pose as “based and trad” to fool Christian conservatives in the West.
And it started raining in the Ukrainan city when its main holy site was on fire.
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Wednesday I returned from Kyiv, Ukraine. I’m grateful to @SoniaKumarMP for this invaluable opportunity to teach, showing her dedication to AHPs. No matter your career stage, there’s always knowledge to share. The resilience of the Ukrainian people was extraordinary.@ZelenskyyUa
Four years is a long time.
For a child, it is a lifetime.
If we want this to end, Europe must do more.
The world must do more.
Every child deserves a future—and a daily life where the classroom is above ground, and where their family is safe.
Timothy Snyder: By resisting, Ukrainians held back a wider war in Europe.
Maybe most importantly, they've given us an example of courage.
A better question to ask on the four-year anniversary of this terrible criminal war is, what more could we be doing to help the Ukrainians win this war? There's only one way to end it, and that's for the Ukrainians to win - @TimothyDSnyder
The bright faces of Ukrainian children, their love for their country, and their sincere joy. Huge thanks to the educators for instilling the values of friendship, unity, and solidarity.
At the same time, I see videos from russia where children in kindergartens and schools are dressed in military uniforms, holding toy and wooden guns. They are being taught militancy from childhood. And after all this, someone still says we are "one people"? No, we are not. We have different goals, different mindsets, and completely different upbringings. In Ukraine, we value life and respect the borders of others, never entering someone's home without an invitation.
U2 has released a new track, Yours Eternally, recorded in collaboration with Ed Sheeran and the Ukrainian band Antytila.
Do you like the song?
"Yours Eternally is written in the form of a letter from a soldier on active duty with a bold, mischievous spirit to match Ukraine's," the band said in a statement. The Ukrainian Defenders of the 13th Khartiia Brigade, as well as civilians, appeared in the lyrics video.

"Ukraine has shown incredible resilience
But they’re still forced to beg for what they need"
If support comes too little,too late,the war drags on
Europe has to step up more regardless of the US"
4 years of genocide & Ukraine still has to be 'resilient'
Still has to 'beg' for help 😫
In Munich, I was embarrassed by America’s lack of support for Ukraine. Secretary Rubio did not even mention Putin’s invasion in his speech. I’m a patriotic American, I want to feel proud of my country again. We should be standing with democracy against tyranny https://t.co/JvofQEYP0M
I don't often share my own emotions here. I mostly stick to facts and reason. But I'm actually a very emotional person.
The situation in Kyiv with freezing people in cold homes that are left without electricity, heating and water during the cold winter after deliberate Russian attacks is simply terrible.
The most vulnerable, the weakest, the old, the sick, the tiny kids and their parents - these suffer the most. They have nowhere to go or they simply can't move. A lot of people have nothing apart from those cold walls.
Their suffering doesn't help Russia reach any military goals.
Ukraine will not fall, the frontline will not collapse. Ukraine is still a large and strong country. What Russia does and what it is able to do is cause great suffering to average Ukrainians. Russia puts people on the brink of survival, makes people's lives unbearable.
This is a tragedy of a huge scale and people who are surviving through this want to understand what this is all for.
In almost four years of the full-scale war Ukraine demonstrates incredible resilience and bravery. An exhausted Ukraine is a direct threat to European security. A strong Ukraine means a protected Europe.
Ukraine needs air defense and security guarantees.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
Witkoff and JD Vance likely co-wrote this 28 point surrender document to Russia. Some of the Russian words are still there in the translation, if you squint hard enough, as it came straight from the Kremlin. At this point, Trump and his strategically inept administration, should be completely pulled out of the entire process and Europe should step up to be the primary driver of countries that arms Ukraine to the hilt. Between Europe’s arms factories, the fact that their economy is 10 times the size of Russia’s, their advanced intelligence capabilities, and long range missiles, and Ukraine’s tried and true proven-in-battle, brave army, Russia can and should be annihilated. That is the only way that this war is going to end. Trump is a traitor to the free world and should be completely ignored. Going forward, he should have no say at the table when it comes to Ukraine. This task needs adults only not an insecure, narcissistic man-child.
BREAKING: Getty Images releases stunning photographs of Donald Trump falling fast asleep during yesterday's Oval Office meeting.
Imagine if President Biden had done this? The media narrative for four years was that Biden was too old to do the job and now Trump is literally passing out behind his desk but all we hear is crickets.
We still don't know why this man underwent a nonstandard MRI scan last month and every time he opens his mouth the cognitive decline becomes more apparent. When is enough enough? Trump must resign immediately!
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump is unfit for office!
Angelina Jolie receives a commemorative "Kherson" coin as a gift in an actual city of Kherson, Ukraine.
I just want to remind everyone abroad about Russia’s “human safari” in Kherson - they hunt civilians with drones. It’s one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine, and one that desperately needs help.
Journalists rarely dare to go there. Politicians never do. But she did. Respect
