Hi @WallaceMuseum please get your history right. Maisky was the SOVIET, not Russian, ambassador. More importantly, and so relevant today, the Nazi atrocities were suffered by the SOVIET peoples and especially #Ukrainians and #Belarusians, look at a map for the theatre of war.
@mathewparris3@thetimes Hi Mathew you’re confusing your ex-Yugoslav wars. #Bosnia was 92-95. #Kosovo was 98-99. Boys being called “Tonibler” was noted in Kosovo during/after the conflict there.
In May 1990, Moldova — still part of the Soviet Union — was the first country to recognise Lithuania’s independence.
We weren’t free. But we knew freedom when we saw it.
36 years later, I stood in Vilnius and said: you showed us it’s possible. Now help us follow your path.
Another example of ignorance or arrogance, this time from @FT. “Former Soviet Republic”- what is the point to highlight this?
35 years (!) have passed since we restored our independence after soviet occupation. Does your office in Frankfurt report on former East Germany too?
People in Ukraine are starving.
They are freezing.
They are dying.
This isn’t a headline—it’s daily life. Families huddle in the dark with no heat. Parents skip meals so their kids can eat. Elderly neighbors burn scraps to survive the night. Missiles destroy power grids; winter finishes the job.
They need our support—now.
If you can help, please help. If you can’t, share. Silence helps no one.
Stand with Ukraine. https://t.co/fxOhFY2atZ
@thetrainline what is happening with your app? It is giving crazy routes, or saying “no matching tickets available”, for the easiest of routes. I have refreshed but still the same result. Example in pic.
@Uber can you please explain why this guy cancels when he is one minute away and I have selected “Uber Priority” at 00:30 and I have been waiting for 30 minutes now in central London??
@Uber hi - if there are “plenty of drivers nearby” why is it saying it will take 8 minutes to connect to one, and then when that happens it says it will take them 23 minutes to come…at a major airport? Are you hung truthful or shall I try Bolt?
