My Ukraine thread tonight is a little different, because I want to ask some pointed questions about the slow US response and actions that are so far much weaker than the Biden White House's bold promises. Several elements don't add up & the truth is required. 1/8
NEW: During a call with senators & House members this morning, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy made an emotional plea for a no-fly zone, saying it’s the only option given that Putin is not willing to come to the table for peace talks.
Over 300 attendees on the call, per sources
WASHINGTON (AP) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a “desperate plea” to U.S. senators on Saturday to send more planes to help the country fight the Russian invasion.
Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel on the prospect of Israeli mediation:
“Our president believes that Israel is the only democratic state that has good relations with both Russia and Ukraine, and can be used to help”
Everyone should watch this. Sky News team comes under fire from Russian forces in Kyiv, despite making it clear they’re journalists.
Two colleagues were hit by bullets - corespondent Stuart Ramsay and Camerman Richie Mocker. They’re lucky to be alive. https://t.co/dU6ccny9lR
My appearance tonight on @AC360, which has being doing excellent & brave work telling the story of Putin's brutal war on Ukraine & besieged Ukrainians. Every horrific image represents lives destroyed by a mad dictator. Glory to Ukraine. https://t.co/QeRTGYZDur
At the main train station in Suceava, Romania, WCK restaurant partner Bazzil is serving hot meals as thousands of people come through. Volunteers operating at the station are doing their best to keep up with the need for supplies as families continue to flee. #ChefsForUkraine
They weren’t “wrong”. Putin’s crimes became so horrific that his apologists’ statements became too unpopular. So they changed them, because that is what people with no real values do. https://t.co/I2QNI24Iru
Fill my heart with hope in this mayhem of war to know there are people doing all they can everyday to bring support in every country that are receiving refugees!@WCKitchen #ChefsForUkraine
Every time I think @chefjoseandres has reached another level of heroism he and his @WCKitchen amaze me again. God bless you Chef Andres and your thousands of volunteers. #SupportUkraine
PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".
