Геноцид від росіян, про який не хоче чути Світ😢
16-річний Юрій їхав із батьком до Бучі, щоб привезти їжу літнім людям. Їх зупинив російський солдат і застрелив батька, а потім кілька разів вистрілив у Юрія.
Хлопець впав, побачив батька в калюжі крові й потягнувся до нього.⬇️

@mountainhead_ai @unusual_whales What a nonsense claim, to achieve effective income tax rate of 43% an individual needs to earn north of 300k a year, and in most provinces about 500k a year. Even more for families. I wish an average family earned that much

[Mykhailo @mdelegan]

@GeorgeMayer I did and I agree they're ridiculous questions to waste CEO's attention on.

[Mykhailo @mdelegan]

@GeorgeMayer Did they brought it up with their manager and why this wasn't solved at a lower level?

I mean, the example is ridiculously minor, but jumping right into thinking of firing someone over it may speak more about the person judging than the person asking.

[Mykhailo @mdelegan]

@GeorgeMayer Like, how come you built an org where people don't have agency or don't feel empowered solving simple issues by themselves and need an approval for something as minor? Is it an exception or a pattern? Do others feel like that too?

[Yaroslav Trofimov @yarotrof]

The inevitable conclusion from the released Putin-Bush transcripts:
Putin didn’t invade Ukraine because he opposed NATO enlargement.
Putin opposed NATO enlargement because it would have prevented his goal of invading and eliminating Ukraine.
The ideas he had a quarter century ago - that Ukraine (and Kazakhstan) are “artificial countries” that have been “given away” by Russia and therefore must return — are the ideas he still holds today.

Quiet resistance = resistance that doesn't actually do anything, ie no resistance at all.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Imagine if intel officials told the media that Ukraine was sending intel and drone tech to Iran to help kill US forces. Or that ANY country other than Russia was doing it. Imagine the righteous rage from the Trump admin and the GOP. But when it's Russia, meek little mice.

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

The easiest opinion piece to get published for four years and counting now is "Ukraine is About to Lose" (or its cousin, "It's Time to Talk to Russia")

@clement_molin Would be interesting to see the map in ratio to the region's population, instead of the absolute numbers. As it is, the map mostly reflects the region's size relative to others and is not informative.

[penpusher 🇱🇻 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @penpusherMakar]

Serious question,@iocmedia. What will you do with Ukrainian Paralympians? Will you disqualify those who lost their limbs due to the Russian invasion? You know, to stop all “political expression at competition venues”? Missing limbs are worse than a helmet, right?

[Vladyslav Heraskevych OLY @heraskevych]

Їх убили, але їхній голос настільки гучний, що МОК їх боїться.
Я переконаний, що ми не порушували жодних правил МОК (славнозвісне правило 50), а отже, маємо повне право вдягати цей шолом.
Завдяки їхній жертві ми сьогодні живі й можемо бути частиною цих Олімпійських ігор. І я щиро вважаю, що саме завдяки їхній жертві ці Олімпійські ігри взагалі сьогодні можуть проходити.
Хоч МОК і хоче зрадити пам’ять цих спортсменів, я їх не зраджу.
—
They were killed, but their voice is so loud that the IOC is afraid of them.
I am convinced that we did not violate any IOC rules (the infamous Rule 50), and therefore we have every right to wear this helmet.
Thanks to their sacrifice, we are alive today and can be part of these Olympic Games. And I sincerely believe that it is precisely because of their sacrifice that these Olympic Games can take place at all today.
Even though the IOC wants to betray the memory of these athletes, I will not betray them.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

[Mykhailo @mdelegan]

@LandoInvests @muskistrash1 @unusual_whales You're from the US, your opinion on Venezuela is irrelevant. cheers

[Adrian P 🇷🇴🇺🇦🇪🇺 @AdrianP_doc]

If Ukraine hit a train full of Russian civilians it would be all over world news this morning.

But when Russia hits a train full of Ukrainian civilians it's just another Wednesday.

We have a sick world because our media is sick

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

So where are the massive national protests in the US? Where are the 50 million filling every major city? Because that is what would happen in any free society

[Mykhailo @mdelegan]

@GergelyOrosz This is the way

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

“Why would Ukraine seek to ban this organisation?”, is a question only the most exceedingly stupid Westerners would ask.

[Alina Sarnatska @ASarnatska]

This image shows an official leaflet issued by the Russian Orthodox Church and addressed to the civilian population of russia.

One sentence is highlighted in red:
“Your task is to erase the Ukrainian nation from the face of the earth.”

The text frames genocide as a moral obligation, presenting hatred and violence as a “spiritual duty.”
