Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, it doesn't matter. War is war. Our condolences to those who lost everything without having a choice. Having more empathy would be an achievement for humanity
' journalists are leaving the Russia en masse, often heading for the EU. One of the ways to get around the Russian informational blackout is to give them the material means to [ report ] in Russian from our countries. Is there a way to organize such support ' cc: @Reuters@AFP?
We hear that the world admires Ukrainians & our bravery. Ok, many thanks, but we accept all admirations in the form of the advanced air & missile defence systems, drones, & jets etc. No more time for empty words
The fact that @elonmusk, a tech billionaire from South Africa, is more forcefully defending our First Amendment right than our own elected officials here in the United States tells you everything you need to know about where we are as a nation. Thank you, Elon.
NATO nations have for years chosen shame over war, and now they have war thrown in as well, as Churchill warned. It is always the way when dealing with dictators. Fight now on your terms or later on theirs.

Dicono che intervenire per interporsi provocherebbe una guerra mondiale. Budapest 1956. Praga 1968. Kiev 2022.
E così ancora una volta, per non avere guai peggiori, lasceremo massacrare un popolo.
Il dilemma della Pace. La tragedia della guerra.

Kyiv air defence system just shut the missile which was targeting the main railway station in Kyiv. There are now thousands of refugees trying to evacuate - merely women and children. NATO must help protect Ukraine's sky! How you can simply observe this execution of Ukrainians?
