We lost homes, families, and entire cities. We slept in basements, buried our children, and carried on.

Now Russians are crying over burning warehouses asking “why us?”. I have yet to see one Russian cry for what their country has done to Ukraine.

😁🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky about Tucker Carlson:

"All people are different. But there are smart people. And there are not very smart people. I watch smart people. And I never watch stupid people. Because it doesn't help anything. So I didn't watch Tucker Carlson's interview."

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

The sickening victim narrative has now spread to this innocent travel blogger, whose selective outrage conveniently skips over the tens of thousands of predominantly Russian-speaking Ukrainians slaughtered during the opening months of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the women and children killed in just Mariupol.

[Vladyslav Heraskevych OLY @heraskevych]

Why are russians being allowed back onto various international arenas despite this?

[Sergiy Kyslytsya 🇺🇦 @SergiyKyslytsya]

The International Olympic Committee isn’t an intergovernmental organization. Instead the IOC is registered as a private, not-for-profit international non-governmental organization organized as an association under Swiss Law (specifically under Articles 60 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code). Basically in today’s world the IOC is money collecting and distributing machine. As it appears with no moral engagement or constraints.

There are currently two active representatives from Ukraine serving as Members of the International Olympic Committee: Valeriy Borzov and Sergii Bubka. From Ukraine but not representing the government of Ukraine or required to coordinate their position with the government.

The IOC is currently led by a former minister in the government of Zimbabwe, a country that voted against practically all resolutions of UNGA in support of territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The EU provides variable financial support to International Olympic Committee via multiple European Commission grants, educational initiatives, and collaborative development schemes.

Erasmus+ Programme: This is the primary vehicle for EU sports funding. The IOC and its affiliate entities, like the European Olympic Committees (EOC) EU Office, secure grants for grassroots sports development, social inclusion, and dual-career programs for athletes.

In light of a provisional decision of the IOC to return warmongering Russia to Olympic Games on July 14, 2026, a coalition of nine EU member states (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Sweden) formally petitioned the European Commissioner for Sport, Glenn Micallef, to completely cut off the IOC and other complicit sports bodies from Erasmus+ and all alternative EU funding programs.

Fier de voir les militaires ukrainiens défiler aux côtés de nos forces. Un symbole de fraternité, de courage et de destin partagé. Pensées au peuple ukrainien qui lutte pour sa liberté et, avec elle, pour celle de tous les Européens.

Hey @GretaThunberg on behalf of all of the fallen Ukrainian soldiers, murdered Ukrainian children and Ukrainians suffering because of russia every day - fuck you.

- Olena Zelenska 🇺🇦:

"If Ukrainian soldiers, despite fierce resistance against the enemy and the loss of their comrades, haven't got tired of liberating Ukrainian land, and if Ukrainians, despite their grief and tears, haven't got tired of defending their children and their future, how can people somewhere in a safe country get tired of reading the news?"

"Please do not get used to this war, because if everyone gets used to it, this war will never end."

Please, don't stop supporting Ukraine, they need our help 🫂🇺🇦❤️

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Russia has conned the Red Cross into providing them with humanitarian aid wjile the Kremkin doends $600M/day murdering people in Ukraine.

Never, ever, ever, EVER donate to @RedCross

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

Gotta hand it to @amnesty for consistency. They haven't mentioned our ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian civilians since this, they've not posted about any we've done since.

And they're probably not gonna.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @CrimeanVoyager]

💔 This is one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever read from a Ukrainian soldier.

Please read every word. We owe them that.

"Please remember us.

We won't be the ones shouting about ourselves when we come home, because we have no strength left. And we probably never will.

Most of us won't do anything. We'll come back quietly and try not to be noticed. We'll be dirty, sad, reeking, and we'll only talk to each other.

We're so exhausted that we no longer feel like human beings. We're just labels of our former selves.

A part of us will stay there forever, and we'll never truly exist in the same world as you again. We understand that.

So please, remember this: we stayed there not because someone sent us, and not because we wanted to. It was simply the price that had to be paid.

That's what that choice cost—the whole of you.

Please remember that we don't wish you any harm. We don't want anything from you. And, to be honest, we're fucked up ourselves."

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Russia has been barred from competing in the Olympics since they started a war in Ukraine. Nothing has changed. It’s an absolute disgrace the IOC would clear them to compete while Putin continues to bomb Ukrainian cities and hold their land.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Sasha the propagandist is lying again. This is Konstantin Lebedev and he's not Finnish. He was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union.

He is a propagandist working for the Kremlin, and has close ties to people like Maria Zakharova.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Why Europe should close its doors to russian citizens:
1. Russia has been assassinating people in Europe for decades.
2. Russian espionage in Europe is at record levels.
3. Russian citizens are targeting Ukrainian refugees on European soil.
4. The tourist channel is now a recruitment channel.

Legitimate refugees can still come. But russian tourists are not tourists. They should be treated as what they are: citizens of an aggressor state whose government has been at war with Europe – kinetically, in Ukraine, and covertly, in the capitals that continue to admit them – for more than three years.

[Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 @maria_drutska]

Lavrov on the tankers in the Sea of Azov: “This is not piracy. Pirates take things for themselves. Here, they simply destroy tankers. This is terrorism.”

Interesting.

So what does he call Russia wiping entire Ukrainian cities off the map?

[Angelica Shalagina🇺🇦 @angelshalagina]

If russia is tired
Of hearing explosions,
There’s a very simple solution -
Leave Ukraine.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

21 incremental packages instead of a few steps. Close the skies over Ukraine; seize all Russian assets abroad and use them for Ukrainian aid, weapons, & defense; shut down the Russian shadow fleet, sanction into oblivion those who do business with Russia, first or secondhand.

[Julian Röpcke 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦 @JulianRoepcke]

Mitleid mit Russen, die 12 Stunden in der Schlange vor der Tankstelle stehen?

Im Leben nicht!

This is a mother shielding her child with her own body during yesterday’s russian strike on Sumy.

This is why Ukrainians don’t owe anyone an explanation for refusing to shake hands with russians, for not wanting to see them at the Olympics, or welcomed back into the civilized world.

This is why.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

“Putin is a strategic fool and a military failure. He wanted to pacify Ukraine - now it’s on its way to the EU and eventually NATO. He aimed to dissolve NATO, but instead doubled its border through Finland. He tried to destroy the transatlantic partnership - now we’re jointly increasing our defense spending to 5% over ten years. He wanted to break up the EU - I’ve never seen it so united. He has failed on all fronts.”

Finnish President Alexander Stubb in an interview with The Sydney Herald.
