Just had the chance to be live on BBC Global while in Kyiv on 24th Feb 2025. Three years in. My key message - we Ukrainians fight for our homes, culture, Christianity and our FREEDOM. These are literally the CONSERVATIVE values Republicans claim to stand for. We actually do it.

Seeing so much for #Ukraine support is just❤️‍🩹 you’ve sent me so many great pictures from rallies to support Ukraine you went to this weekend that omg ! It warms my heart. bigger piece of this together coming soon, for now: couple of shots from rallies in: London, Brussels , Vilnius and Toronto 💙💛

❗️Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians, - Zelensky 🕯Eternal memory to everyone who gave their lives for our state and people. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country. Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "I handed Trump a document with a list of all ceasefires with specific dates that Russia broke," — Zelensky "It is impossible to declare peace in one hour, in one day, today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately. Such is the reality..."

February 24th Etched into the mind of so many of us. An emotional day for me and anyone who has anything to do with #Ukraine It's Day 1097 of #Russia's war. The 3rd anniversary today (3 x 365, +1 leap year, + today) I've reported with a🧵every single day ko-fi.com/twmcltd

The UK has adopted the biggest sanctions package against Russia since 2022. It includes 107 sanctions against: ◼️producers and suppliers of machine tools, electronics and dual-use goods for Russia’s military in a range of third countries

‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy This article is more than 4 years old The KGB ‘played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality’, Yuri Shvets, a key source for a new book, tells the Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

“The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Iran and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries Monday against a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for the return of Ukrainian territory.” wapo.st/41gmlOo

❗️drone threat for #Kyiv again detected

Never thought I’d see the day when the US voted against its allies alongside #Russia and #Belarus. Shameful.

❗️According to Russian media, the EU has disconnected 13 Russian banks from SWIFT in the latest sanctions package and banned 8 Russian media outlets from broadcasting in Europe. New restrictions have also been imposed on supplying Russia with software, equipment, and technology for oil/gas extraction

Why make a phone call when you can bring an entire squad at midnight and intimidate the whole family? This is the second time the regime police went to Zurab Girchi Japaridze’s home today (one of the opposition leaders). Earlier, his 11-year-old child was alone. #terrorinGeorgia

The leaders of 🇫🇮Finland, 🇩🇰Denmark, 🇮🇸Iceland, 🇳🇴Norway and 🇸🇪Sweden also arrived in Kyiv this morning. 🚂 This is the third train with foreign delegations.

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

Please share this fact sheet about Ukraine with anyone who needs it.

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

Why is Trump asking Ukraine to pay back for weapons but not Israel?

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Trump is extorting Ukraine for aid given by Biden admin and approved by the USA congress. he is hurting any future USA partners and allies, who would be reluctant to sign anything with the U.S. as the U.S. can walk back the deal and demand back what was already given years ago.

By the way, a video of current Vice President J.D. #Vance , who last September recorded a video complaining about the rise in prices for chicken eggs from $1.50 to $4 per dozen under #Kamala Harris, standing next to a shelf with a price of $2.99, has been preserved very well.

Thousands protest outside of the Russian Embassy in London #UnitedKingdom #OSINT #GEOINT

HAHAHAHA, oh God, this is bad...

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.

❗Show this film to Trump and his entire team. Who hasn't seen it yet. Then watch it. This is what we experienced in 2022. It's not a fiction film, it's a documentary. ❗Repost this film as much as possible.🙏

🧵 "$174B sent to Ukraine" is a myth 📌 U.S. only sent $65.9B in military aid to Ukraine (State Dept, Jan 20, 2025). $22B/year. 📌 More than $51.2B of supposed "Ukraine military aid" spent on our own defense industrial base instead. 📌 Russia spends $160B/year on the war. 8x what we sent Ukraine.

The US demanded that Ukraine withdraw the UN resolution condemning Russia for the invasion, Ukraine refused, — Washington Post

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger (head of MI6 from 2014-2020) is a genuine expert and provides concise insight into a complex situation. Not just some talking head with an opinion. Really worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9pL...

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

The British government will announce another military aid package for Ukraine and new sanctions against Russia on February 24. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports.

Lol this is too good Elon Musk’s “big balls” boy is the grandson of a KGB spy

It feels like a dystopian movie. Not enough is being said about Trump being recruited by the KGB forty years ago. This was at the height of the Cold War. When the Soviet Union was classed as the enemy. Who wanted to destroy America. You’d have to really hate America.

⚡️🇩🇪🇺🇸 German Foreign Minister Baerbock threatens the U.S. with a severing of ties over Trump’s remarks on Zelensky and Ukraine. "We will increase pressure on the Americans to make them realize they have a lot to lose if they stop supporting Europe's liberal democracies," Baerbock stated.

SitRep - 21/02/25 - Italy will deliver Centauro B1 to Ukraine An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Defence analysts confirm that Italy will supply Centauro B1 to Ukraine and Trump wants Zelensky out. REPOST=appreciated 1/X

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Call to Action: Protest against Trump and fascism. Los Angeles, California. February 22 at 12PM "Your voice matters" #3E #USProtest #ProtestCA #Feb22

A lot of speculation why Trump is doing what he is. As I told @kyivindependent.com @chrisdyork.bsky.social on Thurs, there’s 3 options 1. Putting Europeans on notice (unlikely) 2. Splitting Russia from China (misguided) 3. Embracing the Dark side (nightmare). kyivindependent.com/how-ukraine-...
