The conflict in Ukraine has shattered the illusion that Europe is safe from war. And now, all NATO’s eastern flank countries are revisiting crisis response protocols for health-care facilities.

Happy Father's Day from Ukraine 🇺🇦

It is impossible to watch these videos of Ukrainian Defenders returning home from Russian captivity without feeling emotional...

I have always been committed to nonviolence but the way a lot of people are talking about nonviolence right now has really been bothering me, and I realized it was reminding me of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made...

Sounds of #Ukraine.

New video out! youtu.be/PgNJNLGxZoI?...

🇷🇴 Romania has chosen. With the confirmation of Nicușor Dan’s victory in the presidential election, Romanian citizens have sent a clear and powerful message: for democracy, for the rule of law, and for a truly European future.

The fate of the Crimean Tatars was a direct result of the Yalta agreement and systematically swept under the carpet by historians East and West ever since.

⚡️🇺🇦 Ukrainian soldiers took part in the London parade marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in WWII. As they marched past the royal box, they were greeted with applause, and King Charles III honored them with a military salute.

A few days ago in Transcarpathia, a stork brought a Ukrainian flag to its nest - a moving and symbolic moment. In Ukrainian culture, the stork represents loyalty, happiness and prosperity. Today, it also reminds us of the resilience and spirit of our nation. 💙💛

Trump is so pathetic in all his fury. He thought he could subdue the whole world with his tariffs. But the whole world realized 3 things: 1. These tariffs were bizarre. 2. They were arbitrary & unstable. 3. Most of all they harmed the US. ./1

Hasn't Musk made enough damage to the US?!

“In the last century, Europe didn't avert disaster; it sleepwalked straight into the deadliest conflict in humanity's history. The lesson of Munich fades, but the truth remains – evil left unpunished spreads, and the cost of confronting it only grows with time.” WAKE UP EUROPE! TIME TO FIGHT!

Mir fällt es immer schwerer, diesen täglichen bescheuerten Blödsinn noch zu kommentieren. Die US-Idee, im Austausch für nichts und ohne jegliche Garantien für die Ukraine die Krim als russisch anzuerkennen und Russland-Sanktionen aufzuheben, ist am politischen Idiotismus kaum zu überbieten.

Glory to our defenders! Heroyam Slava! 💪✌️ May God protect each and every one of you. Ukraine stands because of your courage. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💙💛

Der Angriff auf #Sumy zeigt: Der russische Präsident will die Ukraine 🇺🇦 vernichten. Wer Frieden will, muss die Ukraine schützen & unterstützen. Nur gemeinsame Stärke sichert #Frieden. Je breiter die Unterstützung weltweit, desto wahrscheinlicher ein Friedensweg in Europa. — @abaerbock.diplo.de #FAC

💰Viktor Orbán’s son-in-law István Tiborcz was spotted with a €600K Ferrari SF90 Spider in Marbella, per opposition MP Ákos Hadházy's findings. Tiborcz and Orbán’s daughter Ráhel once lived there and likely still own undisclosed assets in Spain. 🧵Here's a short thread on the Orbán family's luxury.👇

“This is my first visit to Ukraine — and definitely not the last,” said Prince Harry after visiting the Superhumans rehabilitation center. Deeply moved by the resilience and strength of Ukrainian veterans, he praised their courage and humanity. A powerful moment of solidarity.🇬🇧🇺🇦

Comparisons with Anna Politkovskaya’s reports about the Russian army and the wars in Chechnya are inevitable. Nothing has changed. If anything, the violence has become more widespread and systematic in the war against Ukraine.

Friends, ‼️Please help spread important topic far&wide: A coalition of prominent faith leaders sent a letter to President Trump&Secretary of State Rubio,urging them to make the safe return of the almost 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted by Russia a precondition of any ceasefire or peace agreement

The tariff negotiations are not going well.

11-year-old Jens from Denmark has raised more than 34,000 Danish kroner (about €4,500) for children from Ukraine who lost their homes. Jens creates Easter beaded decorations in blue and yellow colors with his own hands, sells them, and donates all the proceeds to charity.

If Russia had not attacked us

Interesting and scary how language reveals mentality and intent. Now listen to Trump!

As the US regime change gears up, the expected purge of universities is gathering momentum and the brain drain associated with it. We are living in dark times deanblundell.substack.com/p/canadas-qu...
