Bombing 17th century churches in Europe is Russian culture in its purest form. Today, Lviv.

Amid the tragic events today in Ukraine's western city of Lviv, film director D.W. Phillips captured some of the initial moments after Russia targeted the historic 17th century St. Andrew's church. @UkraineStory

For the right to live the way we choose and for the freedom to raise our tricolor in our own country! Happy Restoration of the Independence Day of Lithuania! 🇱🇹

🇱🇹 Today we remember over a thousand years of Lithuanian history – #OTD in 1009, the name of Lithuania first appeared in the Quedlinburg Annals as “Litua”, later evolving into the modern-day “Lietuva”.

How is this real life?

The Nordic and Baltic countries are a major driving force of support for our people. Representatives from all these countries were with us yesterday in Kyiv, on the fourth anniversary of the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Over all these years, NB8 has been standing with us through annual assistance programmes and various forms of defence, energy, political, and humanitarian support. They are one of the strongest partners and true friends of Ukraine. Thank you for your support through concrete assistance packages that enable us to protect lives and strengthen our energy resilience. This includes more than $1.5 billion in military assistance from Sweden, $1.2 billion from Norway for joint drone production, contributions to PURL from Norway, Sweden, Latvia, and Estonia, weapons and investments through SAFE from Lithuania, and energy support from Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Every such contribution makes all of us in Europe stronger. Energy packages help our people endure, while defense packages help us hold Moscow’s feet to the fire, because only real pressure will help end this war with dignity. We deeply value the commitment of each NB8 country and this sincere support for our people.

Here is the moment when Polish Foreign Ministry Radoslaw Sikorski reminded America, UK, France and damn Russia that they guaranteed Ukrainian security and borders in 1994🔥👏 Sikorski: “As you know, Russia, the USA, and Great Britain guaranteed the security of Ukraine and its borders. In exchange for Ukraine giving up what was then the third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. In 1994. So you have an obligation to Ukraine to help them defend their freedom.”

Highly symbolic to be in Vilnius for 🇱🇹 Lithuania’s Independence day and to witness the awarding of Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo for Jardin de Lituanie in Paris, inaugurated during Lithuania’s season in France in front of our historic Embassy since 1940 occupied by the Russians.

Congratulations to @GitanasNauseda and all Lithuanians on the Day of the Restoration of the State of Lithuania. The destinies of our nations have been closely intertwined for centuries, and our friendship and cooperation set an example to others of what it truly means to be friends. We deeply value all the support of the Lithuanian people and are personally grateful to Gitanas for his efforts to strengthen both our defense and our relations in the region and in Europe. We know that we can count on Lithuania. Thank you to every Lithuanian for understanding us so well. We will definitely be together in the European Union – in peace and independence.

You can disqualify the athlete, but it won’t change the truth about Russia’s war. Russia has killed many Ukrainian athletes. Ukraine's skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych honoured them, reminding the world of Putin’s atrocities. Sport cannot be separated from the reality of a war that continues to take lives. #Olympics #StandWithUkraine

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces reports that Polish and NATO fighter jets and early-warning aircraft have been scrambled from bases in Eastern Europe, while ground-based air defense systems and radar reconnaissance have been raised to their highest state of readiness across Poland, due to activity by Russia’s long-range aviation, which is currently carrying out strikes on the territory of Ukraine.

Russia has killed over 650 Ukrainian athletes and destroyed at least 15 Olympic training bases. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

No wonder the toddler is unhinged once again. The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot! Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING!
