Instead of wishing everyone a happy 1st day of Spring, I wish #Ukraine a happy 6th day of life. Today is no flowers🌸and☀️. Today we get up and dress for survival. Almost a week at war. #NoFlyZone #HumanitarianCorridor #StandWithUkraine️

⚡️Zelensky: “Already 4,500 Russian soldiers have been killed. Why did you all come here?

Drop your weapons and leave, don’t trust your commanders, don’t trust your propagandists, just save your lives - leave.”

[Mari Storpellinen @MStorpellinen]

Tragedies all round. The insanity of this war. 🕊☮️🕊

⚡️Ukraine launches a website to help Russian families find their relatives killed in combat.

The Interior Ministry has launched https://t.co/MHSNGGW5Sb, where it publishes photos and documents of the dead and captured Russian soldiers.

@ZelenskyyUa turned down an offer by the US to evacuate him from Kyiv. A true leader. A hero. A living legend. I pray we still have him tomorrow 🙏🕊 #Zelenskyy #UkraineRussiaConflict #WeStandWithUkraine #PeaceNotWar

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

[Karl Hansen 🇺🇸 🦅 @weed10_weed]

Can’t be shared enough! Cancun when the weather gets a lil cold for good old Uncle Ted. @ZelenskyyUa grabs his kit and steps squarely on the X w/the knowledge that any step thereafter may be his last step on the face of this earth. #Audacity #Guts #WhatRightLooksLike #Respect

Phantom of the Ukrainian sky. Shot down 6 #Russia planes in 30 hours. Tonight I 🙏 for this misters ace pilot and other superheroes of the Ukrainian army. They hold our skies as #Europe and #US are busy tweeting #StandWithUkraine instead of organizing #NoFlyZone

#Election2020 night. Candles burning out, I'm still up ✌️ #historyinthemaking #bigboypantson

Ei vaan osaa ymmärtää, kenen etu tuo USA:n tulehtunut tilanne loppujen lopuksi on. Meno on osittain kuin sotatoimialueella, mutta osa elää kuplassaan valvontakameroiden suojissa. Oikeustaju on varmasti koetuksella puolin ja toisin. #docventures

[Mari Storpellinen @MStorpellinen]

Niin syvästi kuin välillä halveksunkin #some'n ylivaltaa, on kuitenkin myönnettävä, että se on ensiluokkainen ase valtarakenteiden horjuttamiseen; väkivallaton, tasa-arvoinen ja herättää ihmiskunnan kollektiivisen oikeustajun #docventures #WhoseStreets #BlackLivesMatter

Virkistävää, että Relove tarjoilee jääkahvin oikeasta lasista ja messinkisellä pillillä. Terassikin hurmaava keidas. Vahva suositus! #Relovelifestyle #noplastic #secondhand #IsoRoba #Punavuori #MyHelsinki

Celebrating #UhanaDesign joining @PapuStories at #MarketHelsinki. Playful aesthetics, DJs belting tunes, beautiful floral prints, rose petals in drinks. That's what the cutest opening parties are made of. 🌹🍸🎶 #FinnishFashion #FinnishDesign #MyHelsinki

@DesignmuseoFI'lla #BrynjarSigurðarson-näyttelyn avajaisissa hyvää tunnelmaa ja #Islanti-estetiikkaa. Uusia museotiloja odotellessa, kiitos #hallitus2019'n. #taide #kulttuuri #hallitusohjelma #myhelsinki

[Finnish Embassy UK @finlandinuk]

#Finland wants to thank English for giving our language some great words, like ‘baari’ (bar) and ‘matsi’(match). Here’s one Finnish word in return: #hän, the exclusive pronoun for equal opportunity! You can spot our thank you posters at some of the #London #tube stations.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

This sums up how we in the rich countries in the global north have been treating the rest of the world. Sweeping all of our dirt and trash under someone else’s carpet.
Now it appears all the space underneath those carpets are full...

@TomDoddFCO1 @TeamGBicehockey @ukinfinland If they do win the championship, make sure you go out on the town right after. It'll be a once-in-a-lifetime experience; you'll see Finns like you've never seen them before... Torilla tavataan! 😅 #torille #Leijonat

Today we celebrate 100 years of diplomatic relations between #Finland and #UK! #100YearsAndBeyond

On 6 May 1919, British Consul-General Henry McGrady Bell delightedly informed Finnish Foreign Ministry of British decision to recognise Finnish independence.
