Any other player in the league does this would be ejected. The fact this has now happened in back to back games and hasnโt been called for it is egregious.
Wemby whispered something to Bismack Biyombo and Mason Plumlee as they checked in during garbage time...
They both immediately picked up DIRTY fouls on Jared McCain ๐ค
Another Russian Shahed drone strike on a passenger train. This time near Sumy.
If this happened anywhere else in the world, it would be breaking news.
So why isnโt it?
@DevanaUkraine No, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not flee Ukraine when Russia invaded on February 24, 2022. Despite U.S. offers to evacuate him from Kyiv, he remained in the capital to lead the resistance.
Today we recognize the foreign volunteers who chose to come here and stand with Ukrainians in this fight.
The first two photos were taken a year apart. One year of war. One year of service. Somewhere in that time I lost 20 kilograms and gained the reality of what it means to be infantry in a war that reshapes everything about you.
War strips life down to its rawest form. The cold, the mud, the exhaustion, the people beside you who become closer than family.
The third photo is someone I believed would still be with me when this war finally ends.
He didnโt fall at the front. But that doesnโt make the loss any easier to understand. I still canโt fully grasp that he is gone.
War takes pieces of us in ways that are hard to explain to anyone who hasnโt lived inside it.
Today is about the volunteers who left their homes, their families, their countries, and came here because they believed Ukraine deserved to survive. People who had no obligation to be here but chose to stand in the trenches anyway.
We came for different reasons. But we stayed for the same ones: the people beside us and the belief that Ukraine must win.
To every foreign volunteer who came here and carried this war on their shoulders alongside Ukrainians, today is yours.
And to the ones we have lost along the way, in all the different ways war takes people from us, we carry you with us.

February 24, 2022.
Before dawn had fully broken, missiles were already striking the military airfield in Vasylkiv near Kyiv - home of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade, the unit tasked with defending the capitalโs skies.
The first to rise into the air was 25 year old Senior Lieutenant Viacheslav Radionov.
While the enemy tried to destroy Ukrainian aircraft on the ground, Radionov took off into a sky already turning hostile.
He helped ensure the organization of combat flights and the take-off of other pilots, knowing every second mattered. Kyiv depended on them getting airborne.
He did not wait. He did not hesitate. He went first.
In the sky above Vasylkiv, he entered an unequal battle against three enemy aircraft.
As he engaged them, his fellow pilots were able to lift off and continue the defense of the capital.
He held the line in the air so others could rise behind him.
Then communication was lost.
It was his first combat flight.
It was his last.
His aircraft was later found. He had ejected.
His mother said that even if he had known how it would end, he would have done the same.
Vyacheslav was born into a family of pilots. Flying was in his blood.
He was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.
When the enemy believed they could silence our air force in a single strike, Viacheslav Radionov proved them wrong.
He was the first in the air.
He fought so others could fly.
He gave his life so Kyiv would stand.
Eternal memory. ๐ฏ๏ธ

My husband is a disabled veteran and, due to his medical condition, he is unable to work.
He is a former sergeant of the command and artillery reconnaissance battery of the brigade artillery group of the 54th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He has suffered more than 20 fractures to his legs and pelvis.
We have three children.

Our family is going through an extremely difficult winter.
We are Ukrainian refugees living in Canada, in a very old house with poor insulation.
Winters here are long and brutal, and in extreme cold there is simply no way to adapt.
We have three children who need warmth, safety, and basic living conditions.
This is not about comfort or luxury.
This is about having food on the table and keeping our home warm.
In winter, life often comes down to choosing between essentials.
We are doing everything we can to survive with dignity, but we can no longer manage on our own.
At this moment, we are asking for help only with food and heating.
Even a small contribution truly makes a difference.

Your support is helping us get through this winter.
