Devastating night for #Ukraine: at least 5 killed and 40+ injured, incl. children, after Russia’s drone and missile strike on Kyiv.

At the same time EU countries bought €1.6B in Russian fossil fuels in April. Stronger #sanctions are urgently needed.

A Ukrainian performance by Yuriy Gruzinov took place inside the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

He walked through the pavilion carrying a red notebook with "2026 List of Bastards" written on the cover, carefully jotting things down in it.

NAU - Network Associazioni per Ucraina launched the Invisible Pavilion project.

During the 61st Venice Biennale, an unusual "pavilion" without a building will appear across Venice - a network of posters spread throughout the city.

The Invisible Pavilion project placed posters across Venice featuring the names of Ukrainian artists and authors, along with dates and venues, just like hundreds of parallel Biennale events. But every poster carries the same phrase:

"CANCELLED because the author was killed by Russia."

The project is dedicated to Ukrainian cultural figures killed by Russia’s war against Ukraine.

There are nearly 300 of them - artists, writers, poets, directors, musicians, and cultural figures.

During the Biennale press opening days (May 6-8, 2026), the posters will appear across the city.

And every one of these names of Ukrainian artists murdered by Russia - Victoria Amelina, Volodymyr Vakulenko, Nika Kozhushko, Ihor Malakhov, and hundreds more - is the final argument for why Russia has no place at the Biennale or in the civilized world.

With the local elections coming up don't let the news media bury the truth about Farage, Nathan Gill and Russia.

On September 16, 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill made speeches to the European Parliament parroting several of the same Russian propaganda lies.

Could this have just been a coincidence? I don't think so. It looks coordinated. Either Farage gave Nathan Gill his talking points, or Russia was providing its talking points to both of them.

They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood.

They both used the expression "poking the Russian bear."

They both parroted the Russian lie that there had been a coup in Kyiv in 2014.

They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion.

They both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West.

Reform UK initially claimed Farage barely knew Gill. That turned out to be a filthy lie.

Let's follow the Hungarian example and get off our sofas into the polling booths to give Farage and his media backers a kick in the brexits that they will never forget.

And just in passing, here is Farage with the Russian Ambassador in 2013 – the same Ambassador Farage denied having met, and who later boasted of having "crushed the British to the ground". Finally, a reminder that Farage was heavily promoted by Russian TV before the BBC took up that role.

A vote for Reform UK is a vote for Putin.

We joined the large Glasgow May Day March today to demonstrate the worldwide solidarity of workers - drawing attention to one aspect of imperialism in global politics - Russia's ongoing genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

Great Glasgow evening of Ukrainian culture tonight. Centuries of resistance to Russian imperialism has created wonderful music.
