For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.

”Last year almost 500 000 Russian tourists were let into Europe, while Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield. This situation needs to be stopped.

You don’t see such celebrations of opening another bridge, but in Syria the celebrations of opening Al-Rastan bridge ( linking Homs to Hama that was destroyed by Russia in the last days of war) is a statement.

He was 60 and from S. Damascus.
This is the second case this year.
