Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

I follow with concern the war in #Ukraine, which is experiencing a sharp intensification in these days. I wish to express my closeness to all those suffering due to recent attacks carried out even against civilians. War does not solve problems but worsens them. It does not create security but multiplies suffering and hatred. Where missiles and drones fall, hopes also fall; homes and places of prayer are destroyed, and innocent lives are broken. I entrust all peoples wounded by war to the protection of the Virgin Mary, Queen of #Peace.

2014 happened and the world went back to normal. Then 2022 happened and now the russians are getting invited back to the Oscars, Opera, Olympics and this week, the Venice Biennale. Dictators use sport & art to legitimise their crimes. It’s how they survive.

PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Peace begins in the human heart, passes through relationships, takes root in neighborhoods and peripheries, and expands until it embraces the entire city and the world. Peace is built by promoting a culture that rejects violence, through daily gestures, education, and practical acts of justice. #PastoralVisit #Naples

Very few people realize the true scale of the war in Ukraine.

In the first 100 days alone, more people potentially died in the siege of Mariupol than during the entire war in Gaza.

Understanding this grim reality is crucial to grasping what is actually at stake

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

On 3 April 1940, the Katyń Massacre started.
The Soviet NKVD murdered 22,000 Polish officers and members of the intelligentsia.
The crime was denied by the Soviets for decades. The secret about The Katyń Massacre was kept for too long (in the UK as well).

US removes 3 from Global Magnitsky and 2 from Russia sanctions lists. Absolute disgrace! https://t.co/70ZPEowrcX

Today marks the 4th anniversary of when Russia deliberately bombed Mariupol Theatre killings hundreds of women & children who had been sheltering inside. This despite the word ‘Children’ written in huge letters outside.

Another Russian Shahed drone strike on a passenger train. This time near Sumy.

If this happened anywhere else in the world, it would be breaking news.
So why isn’t it?

Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Spencer and the team at Dartmouth General Hospital.

A medical device developed right here in Nova Scotia by Ring Rescue Inc. will be featured on HBO Max’s The Pitt this week. What started as a practical solution for emergency rooms is now being used across North America—and even making its way onto television.

Great to see Nova Scotia innovation getting the recognition it deserves. 👏

The russian attack on the government building in Kharkiv, on March 1 2022, should have been the trigger for the EU to massively sanction russia, suspend the movement of russians in the EU, close down russian embassies, and give Ukraine all the air defenses it needed.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @CrimeanVoyager]

Kharkiv. Right now.

A russian-iranian Shahed hits a dormitory. Fire. Evacuations underway.

When it’s Dubai, the world is outraged.
When it’s Kharkiv, the world scrolls past.

Ukrainian lives are not worth less. Our lives are not cheaper.

Prince Harry:

Over the past year, I've had the honor and privilege of visiting Ukraine twice. Each time I left deeply moved by the courage, dignity and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people.

For four years, Ukraine has stood firm. You've shown the world what true resilience looks like. You reminded us all that freedom and independence are never guaranteed.
They need protecting, defending, and when necessary, fighting for.

Today, as Ukraine marks the anniversary of the start of this war, I want to speak directly to you, to those on the front lines, and to those supporting from the home front. Your strength inspires the world.

Your bravery unites us, and your hope lights a path forward for us all. Please know that you are not alone. The world stands with you, and we continue to learn from your courage every single day.

Stay strong, stay brave, stay hopeful. Slava Ukraine!

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal invasion of sovereign and democratic Ukraine. The resistance of the people of Ukraine has been an example and inspiration for free people everywhere.

Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!
