Många frågar sig vad som händer efter döden.
Färre frågar sig vad som hände före livet.

Ödets ironi. Ukraina, en gång världen tredje största kärnvapenmakt, lämnade över sina kärnvapen till Ryssland i utbyte mot säkerhetsgarantier….

1/ What is completely missing in the debate on the war in Ukraine is the partnership of criminal organizations: for decades it was the mafia that guaranteed a Russian-Ukrainian political alliance.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

@ForssViktor De kollar efter förbjudna appar, tex Facebook och Twitter, telegramkanaler eller meddelanden med innehålla som kritiserar kriget. VPN som många installerat för att kunna kolla ovan kanaler är också förbjudna i Ryssland.

Message from Kharkiv, from a great friend and colleague who I work with all the time on University research. He's now manning barricades: "situation is hard. City terrorised with artillery fire. People being killed in the streets, on their way home or to shelters...(1/4)

This horrific 500-kg Russian bomb fell on a residential building in Chernihiv and didn’t explode. Many other did, killing innocent men, women and children. Help us protect our people from Russian barbarians! Help us close the sky. Provide us with combat aircraft. Do something!

My 94 yo grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, is trapped in her Kyiv apartment with my father. She can't really walk, and he can't drive due to a disability. If anyone knows of any resources that can help with evacuation, please let me know.

Folk är så jävla dumma i huvudet.
På hustruns jobb arbetar en Ryska som nu begärt semester... Ryskan orkar inte jobba just nu pga att arbetskamrater beter sig illa mot henne sen kriget i Ukraina bröt ut.
Rem mobbning.
Ryskan stödjer INTE Putin, men det spelar tydligen ingen roll.

Andriy Piddubny: My colleague, Anastasiia Yalanskaya died yesterday. Nastya was shot dead by Russian troops while driving in Bucha. It was not an accidental shot, the civilian car was shot at point-blank range, there were 2 other people with it, who also died

I tried to provide an overview of the situation from the human rights perspective. International organisations are trying to find a way how to help victims of Russian aggression. It’s important. But let’s unite our efforts and stop Putin in order to prevent emergence of any more

Heartbreaking - elderly Jews who survived the Holocaust and WWII are now filmed hiding in a bunker and fearing for their lives in Ukraine.

EXAKT detta är vad miljoner av östeuropéer och barn och barnbarn till flyktingar runt om i Europa tänker just nu. En ukrainsk kvinna sätter verkligen saker och ting i perspektiv direkt till Storbritanniens premiärminister.
