My close friend was ready to meet her baby girl via C-section this morning. Instead spent hours in the basement, bc Russia sent 60 rockets to kill and destroy. A beautiful Ukrainian girl was born today! Joy and love prevail! Oh,the stories this new generation will tell! #Ukraine
Ex-Präsident der Ukraine Wiktor Juschtschenko:
„Niemand hat es besser ausgedrückt als Golda Meir: Wir haben kaum Spielraum für Kompromisse – sie wollen uns töten, und wir wollen leben.“
I’ll add one more thing: Russia actively jails or kills evangelical pastors in the territories they control. They are in cahoots with the Russian Orthodox Church. Ukraine, before the war, was the hub for evangelical missions and church planting in Eastern Europe. It’s the most evangelical country in that part of the world. They also kidnap and traffic young children. This is something Melania Trump has thankfully highlighted.
Grateful to the Finnish Paralympic Committee and its President, Sari Rautio, for the principled decision not to attend the Opening Ceremony and other official events of the 2026 Paralympic Games.
The admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes under their national symbols is unacceptable, immoral, and shameful.
We reiterate our call on all countries’ officials to refrain from attending the ceremony.
Watching flags connected with hundreds of thousands of war crimes, aggressive war, and genocide at an event intended to promote peace violates basic human dignity and self-respect.
Boycott the ceremony — defend dignity.

Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has killed over 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches. Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes will never again take part in international competitions because of Russia.
Russian attacks destroyed more than 800 sports facilities, including over 20 Olympic, Paralympic, and Deaflympic training centres.
The memory of the fallen and the documented crimes committed against Ukraine and its athletes must not be forgotten or silenced.
Their mantra is "there's no place for politics in sports!", the most extreme hypocrisy. They mean there is only room for *their* politics. The USSR was a most extreme example, I well know, but using these events to legitimize belligerent & terrorist regimes is common today.
Everyday life in Ukraine is a struggle for survival as Russia weaponizes freezing weather against civilians. The aggressor continues the attacks on energy infrastructure. With temperatures around 10–16°F, people rely on resilience centers daily to stay warm and safe.
It's not ok to watch an entire nation being bombed into freezing in brutal subzero temperatures.
It's not ok to pretend russia wants peace while it targets homes, hospitals, and energy grid, aiming to destroy the Ukrainian nation.
It's not ok to delay air defences while civilians sleep in cold shelters and darkness.
It's not ok to care more about bloody russian money than the lives of Ukrainian children.
It's not ok to reward an aggressor with lands and people.
It's not ok to normalize war crimes, mass graves, and deported children.
So many things happening around are utterly wrong, pushing the prospects of real peace further away.
🚨 Some Ukrainian children abducted by Russia were forcibly transferred to North Korea and placed in military camps, Ukrainian human rights organizations say. This was just announced at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
Putin celebrated Witkoff's visit to Moscow with another terrorist attack on Kyiv.
Missiles and drones are attacking homes where people are sleeping. Residential buildings are being destroyed, there are
dead and injured civilians
ATTENTION STEVE WITKOFF: While you’ve been coaching Russia on ’negotiation tips’ achieve their war aims, this video is a 49 second summary of Putin's attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilians.
