Kyiv city mayor has responded to recent Russian talk of revoking Lithuanian independence by revoking the 12th century founding of Moscow by Kyiv Rus prince Yuri Dolgorukiy.

Lithuanian MP gives Putin a hint that Lithuania can also refer to history and demand the return of Smolensk & the rest of the Grand Duchy, if Russia revokes recognition of Lithuania's independence. He also invited Macron & Scholtz to call him and start negotiations around this.

A new stream on an unfortunate topic: battlefield deaths & casualties. Last night, @ErinBurnett on @CNN asked me why it seemed the casualty rates on the RU side were so high. I didn't want to talk "body counts," as the numbers differ depending on who is reporting. 1/25

1000+ women and children have been stuck under the rubble of a theater in Mariupol for 3 days! Ukraine needs more air support and air power! @JoeBiden @JensStoltenberg @EmmanuelMacron @BorisJohnson @Bundeskanzler @USDoDGov please help! 🇺🇦💙💛

Putin’s colossal intelligence failure lies in his inability to grasp the country that Ukraine has become in 30 years. The fundamental difference between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukrainians have become citizens of their own country, while Russians remain subjects of their ruler.

#Russia's state TV & gov't officials callously lied that there were no pregnant women at the hospital bombed by the Russians, despite video evidence. One of those women, Marianna Podgurska, gave birth. She named her baby girl Veronika ('victorious one'). twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews…

@avalaina Stay strong! Your baby is a fighter and a survivor - just like mom. 💪🏼🇺🇦

Russians are bullying Marianna on Instagram. She is one of women from maternity hospital in Mariupol, shelled by the Russians. Her face appeared today in all the world media. If you can write words of support, it will be the right decision. We’ll transfer your comments to her

Shell defends decision to buy discounted oil from Russia. The headline speaks for itself. You don’t even need to read the article. There’s no defence cnbc.com/2022/03/06/she…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posts a video from his office with the caption: "I stay in Kyiv. On Bankova Street. I’m not hiding. And I'm not afraid of anyone. As much as it takes to win this Patriotic War of ours."

In Kyiv a woman knocked down a Russian drone from a balcony with a jar of cucumbers. How did they expect to occupy this country?

"Putin’s long record of denying Ukraine’s right to exist paint an even darker picture of what may now lie ahead. Years of Kremlin propaganda have set the stage for atrocities on a scale not witnessed in Europe since the days of Stalin and Hitler" atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

Olena Shabunina: I don't have a photo of "farewell" - I was not able to say goodbye to my husband. Like a lot of Ukrainian women, I had to take out my children and parents. Here is a terrible feeling of guilt inside that my friends are there in Kyiv and I am safe here.
