@Steve_Laws_ they'll start moving elsewhere. knowing folks. there'll start to be people being dicks to ukrainians for wanting handouts or whatever. not to mention the black ukranians who're being discriminated against
@Steve_Laws_ it's also only been a week of conflict. i'm not even sure all refugees have left ukraine yet. the conflict itself is different from the conflicts you may be refering to. right now they're hoping for a quick end to the conflict, but if that becomes less likely
I understand why #Ukraine is circulating footage of captured #Russian soldiers but please stop posting footage of #POWs. @ng_ukraine. If for no other reason, do not give Russia an incentive to capture, torture and film your own solders. @ICRC
🇱🇧 Lebanon
🇺🇦 Ukraine provides about 60% of Lebanon's wheat imports.
🇱🇧 Minister @AminSalamMET said the country would explore alternative supply options following the #UkraineRussiaWar.
🥖 There are only enough stocks to meet a month's requirements, he warns.
Belarusian lieutenant colonel addressed the military. "Our boys are now sitting in the woods of Belarus, probably preparing to attack Ukraine. Some won't come home alive. This is not our war. Find a way not to follow criminal orders. Sometimes saying "no" takes the most courage."
This is Dmitry Utkin - callsign "Wagner" - the founder of the Kremlin's "Wagner Group" PMC.
Yes; that is a Nazi Eagle tattooed on his chest, and those are Nazi SS 'Schutzstaffel' runes tattooed on his collarbones.
Because unlike Jewish Zelensky, Utkin really *is* a neo-Nazi.
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.”
Putin and his oligarch friends don't want you to see these images. Participating in an anti-war march in an authoritarian country is no small thing. It requires enormous courage. These very brave people deserve our respect and gratitude.
⚡️Ukraine’s Zelensky posts a new video of himself and his team outside the presidential administration in Kyiv’s government quarter after rumors in Russian media that he’d fled. “We are here. We are in Kyiv. We are defending Ukraine.”
I'm sorry and ashamed that the rest of europe isn't helping Ukraine push back Russia. As if Putin wasn't fully prepared to be sanctioned. What is the fucking point of NATO if they're just going to stand around and do nothing... smh
Ukrainian officials said that multiple missile strikes hit Kyiv early Friday. "They say that civilian objects are not a target for them. It is a lie, they do not distinguish in which areas to operate," Ukraine's president said of Russia.

In this war everything is real: Putin’s madness and cruelty, Ukrainian victims, bombs falling on Kyiv. Only your sanctions are pretended. Those EU government’s, which blocked tough decisions (i.a. Germany, Hungary, Italy) have disgraced themselves.
What's happening to Ukraine is awful, but it's weird to see takes like "we've never seen anything like this." We have. We saw the US invade Iraq and Afghanistan, and we saw decades of war there. The idea that war is only terrible when its another country doing it must be smashed.
These cat's reactions to Durian fruit are pretty much the same response I had to the #FormerGuy calling murderous tyrant & enemy of our country Vladimir Putin a "genius"-"smart" & "very savvy" after Russia attacked Ukraine, adding "It all happened because of a rigged election."🤮
