Russian aggression in 🇺🇦 (& elsewhere) pre-dates 24.2.22. But since Russia's illegal invasion a year ago, Ukraine has shown, with great courage, it's possible to stand up & fight. All those who cherish democracy & freedom must continue to #StandWithUkraine. It's our fight too.

[Frank Keurhorst @FrankKeurhorst]

For the last year, the courage & resolve of the 🇺🇦 people, & the leadership of @ZelenskyyUa have inspired. While Russia's aggression & violations of international law & the UN Charter have appalled. We must & we will continue to #StandwithUkraine @DutchMFA @MIREXRD

The Old City of Sana'a is magical. Yemen is beautiful. And @BaytAlFann's threads are fantastic! Highly recommend.

[Bayt Al Fann @BaytAlFann]

The Old City of Sanaa in Yemen is one of the oldest cities in the world, continuously inhabited for more than 2500 years. Meaning 'fortified palace', the city is a work of art in itself, & remains one of the greatest treasures of Arabia
