In response to the Georgian 🇬🇪 protest against a russian censorship law Ukrainian community quotes a 200 yo poem. How is it still relevant and why this poem? 🧵
В Сакартвело пішли вуличні бої. Вірменія пообіцяла підтримати санкції проти рф.
І вам слава, сині гори,
Кригою окуті.
І вам, лицарі великі,
Богом не забуті.
Борітеся — поборете,
Вам Бог помагає!
За вас правда, за вас слава
І воля святая!
Т.Г. Шевченко. "Кавказ"
This nonsense about Putin being “provoked” must stop. He does not need anything to “provoke” him in order to commit heinous crimes. I ask international media to stop shifting the blame on the victim of aggression by suggesting that Putin “responds” or is being “provoked” 2/2
No, Putin was not “provoked” to unleash missile terror by “Crimea Bridge”. Russia had been constantly hitting Ukraine with missiles before the bridge, too. Putin is desperate because of battlefield defeats and uses missile terror to try to change the pace of war in his favor 1/2
