The message on a van in Chernihiv last week. A reminder that “Russian Warship, go F- -k yourself” was a thing long before the Russian warship Moscova sank. It’s the same ship that ordered Ukrainian defenders of a Black Sea island to surrender early on. That was the response.

There is not a day that I practice my profession that I am not grateful to @mariaressa for holding the line and valiantly standing up for press freedom at risk to her own life. I am so proud of her as a journalist, a friend, a human, a Filipino.

[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan @RTErdogan]

The Turkish Armed Forces, together with the Syrian National Army, just launched #OperationPeaceSpring against PKK/YPG and Daesh terrorists in northern Syria. Our mission is to prevent the creation of a terror corridor across our southern border, and to bring peace to the area.
