@MargoGontar Same in London during the Blitz. People who were there say that the British "stiff upper lip" was more than a little wobbly, a lot of the time. No-one can be strong all the time, and no-one has to be. But know that there are millions of people on your side all over the world.

@Gerashchenko_en If ever a little girl deserved a teddy-bear ...

@Andy29697828913 @Gerashchenko_en More the point ... if it's true, then it's very good news :-D

@MAJKongSAC @Durikakhvanov @Gerashchenko_en Exactly. A convention is binding only on those states that have signed it. And that excludes Ukraine, Russia and the US. Map of states parties here: https://t.co/4QeadkZDjX

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@jurgen_nauditt Well, they won't be contravening the sign, that's for sure.

@Nick60927353884 @NOELreports Right now, I think the Russians need to pray for Kursk!

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@LifeisDamnd @Gerashchenko_en Unlikely. This one was built in Poland. Can't see the Poles building them a new one.

@antimix173 @igorsushko You might want to make sure it's you who buys dinner, however.

Today we remember the Holodomor, the attempt by the Soviet Union to eradicate Ukraine and all Ukrainians. The Russians are trying to do the same thing today. They failed back then and they will fail now. As long as the free world continues to support the people of Ukraine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

They sought to humiliate us, wear us out, and annihilate us. They failed. They wanted to conceal the truth from us and cover up terrible crimes. They failed. They wanted to confuse, deceive, and cause us to lose our faith, forget, and thus forgive. They failed. And today, with deep sorrow and respect, we honor the memory of millions of our people—millions of victims of famines.

The tragedy for which we still weep and keep silent today, so silent that the entire world should hear it. This is the sound of Ukrainian pain.

We are grateful to all of the countries who have chosen justice. Recognized it officially. Acknowledged the Holodomor as a crime against people and against Ukraine. All those who call things by their names.

The world must unite and condemn the crimes of the past. The world must unite and stop the crimes of today.

Evil was not stopped. There was no atonement. We are stopping it right now. Ukraine will endure. Ukraine will not fade away. Ukraine will preserve itself and the truth.

@KilledInUkraine All these guys who joined up thinking they were going to be defending their country and then got sent off to this shit show. What a waste.

@Manzini_Ricky @Militarylandnet Headed for becoming the grinder, not the ground.

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@JohnDBravo @wartranslated Given that Russian is President Zelenskiy's first language, that's not likely to happen on his watch. Having said which, I understand he only uses it to communicate with Russians nowadays.

@ne_vluchiv @igorsushko I did 30 mins para-ascending training, 35 years ago, and still remember the Capewells!

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@erickessi @clashreport @GretaThunberg She might well say that as an oil tanker, they shouldn't have been operating in the first place.

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@incemeister @Gerashchenko_en I suspect that in both cases, the reason for publicizing the plans was to discourage their implementation.

[Steve Rawcliffe @ursusmaximus]

@mfolkemer23 @yasminalombaert The UN and affiliated organizations can only do what the member states ask/allow them to do.
