As a Ukrainian, I can’t even describe how deeply in love Iʼm with Baltic countries.
Our besties Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are always there for us, no matter what.
One day I’ll visit just to say thank you in person. 🇺🇦❤️🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 Just a small gesture to show my deep gratitude ❤️
On his helmet, Latvia’s @Olimpiade_lv goalie Elvis Merzļikins honors Matīss Kivlenieks (#80), who tragically lost his life in an accident in 2021.
The IOC allows this kind of tribute.
But when an athlete is killed by a russian missile during a military invasion, that athlete’s face suddenly becomes “political propaganda” in the eyes of @iocmedia.
Do they even realize how absurd and cynical this is?
This kind of “neutrality” helps russia in its war against civilization and peace.
Supporting mass murderers and war criminals is not neutrality.

12 years since russia is trying to conquer Ukraine. russia has spent 12 years, millions of people, and many billions of dollars to not achieve any of the goals they had.
Ukraine still exists. Ukrainian identity is stronger than ever, the Ukrainian army is stronger than ever, and Ukrainians are resilient and united as never before.
Don’t Ukrainians already deserve the recognition and protection according to international law? Why not stop this massacre once and for all?
Close the sky, pressure russia, and restore a just peace for Ukrainians!

about Ukrainians and meeting with Trump
I absolutely agree with her..
And you?😉
The only promises I can imagine Trump not breaking would be those to Putin. But Ukraine exists, and will continue to exist despite this unholy alliance.
Again, not to pressure Russia, not press them to increase sanctions, seize Russian assets, and send more weapons to Ukraine to put pressure on the aggressor to actually end the war. He only puts pressure on Ukraine to surrender.
“Mom, I don’t want to die… There’s still so much I haven’t tried in life,” 8-year-old Katya Shyshkina told her mother.
“No, sweetheart. They will never bomb here,” her mom reassured her.
That was back in 2014, after the family fled Donetsk for what they hoped would be a safer life near Kyiv.
But on February 24, 2022, the war found them again — this time in Hostomel.
Her mother remembers how on March 2 Katya quietly said:
‘Tomorrow it will all end… The war, everything.’ She didn’t think much of it then.
On March 3 the family tried to escape Hostomel under heavy fire. russians opened fire on their civilian car from all sides — despite the white sheet on the roof and their raised hands begging them not to shoot.
The car was riddled with bullets, but they managed to break through. Her husband and daughter were wounded.
‘Mom, there’s blood running down my back…’ Katya whispered. The bullet had torn through her kidney, lung, and abdominal cavity.
They reached a hospital in Borodianka, but doctors couldn’t save the 15-year-old girl.
She was buried in the yard of a local elderly man, wrapped in a blanket.
Katya’s mother, Yulia, still keeps her daughter’s hat, sweater, and a few pieces of clothing. She can’t bring herself to wash them — ‘so I don’t wash away my daughter’s spirit.’
Words ring hollow when you see this horror and hear only powerless sympathy from Western capitals. What’s needed now is action. A coalition of the willing should step up to defend Ukraine’s western skies and help bring about a just peace. At least 16 civilians have been killed in a Russian missile attack on Ternopil.
All of Ukraine is currently covered with hundreds of Russian drones and missiles.
It's impossible to have sufficient "air defense."
Ukraine needs thousands of long-range offensive weapons to destroy Russian military bases.
VDD šā gada 17. oktobrī ir uzsācis kriminālprocesu pret Latvijas valstspiederīgo, kurš vilcienā Šveicē verbāli uzbruka ukraiņu ģimenei. Vairāk: https://t.co/pTDWgqwlnF
SWITZERLAND: A Muslim woman was fined 100 Swiss francs ($126) for wearing a burqa, which was banned in the country via referendum.
She contested the charge, claiming ‘Islamophobia’, and now faces a fine of 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,260).
I don’t think you understand the level of radicalization this has caused within me.
I will never be the same person after watching this video.
We do not have to live this way…
A Pakistani imam in Italy preached that muslims must fight infidels or suffer ‘catastrophic consequences.’
The next day, PM Giorgia Meloni called for his deportation , despite him living in Italy for 30years.
Do you support her decision?
