This is my foiled #drawing, Cat of Ukraine, and is based on a photo of a #Ukranian soldier with this fierce #kitty on her shoulder. The war has gone on for far too long...
@Free_Press@HistoPol And that is not acceptable. It is in our own interest to defeat Russia. If not the consequences for our freedom are enormous. Not to mention the suffering of all those brave #ukranian people. #Europe has the economic power to accomplish this. What it now needs is the will to prevail.
Toronto Sun apologizes for its bizarro #antisemitic depiction of #Zelensky in particular and US funding of #Ukranian defense against #Russia more generally.
Nothing like big nosed thieving #Jew images to demonstrate the static nature of #antisemitism in the west.
🇺🇦Take the 5 mins to listen to #Finnish Parliament, give a most powerful speech in support of #Ukraine to the #Ukranian MPs.
He did it in Ukrainian (in English below). 🇫🇮
Expressed disappointment that after the Cold War and collapse of the USSR, “Russia did not change. As before, it still does not respect international law or its obligations. It does not value the lives of its own citizens or others.” Halla-aho continued: “Russia believes it has the right to veto the choices of its neighbors, even the right to veto their very existence. Russia respects and understands only strength.”
He noted, “Ukraine’s heroic resistance has emboldened and encouraged Finland to take action,” likely referring to its decision to join NATO and provide Ukraine military aid.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/17/jeremy-corbyn-will-never-be-labour-mp-again-keir-starmer. To refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organisation was - let us not mince words - absolutely stupid, to say the least, of Jeremy Corbyn, & inexplicable, unless he thinks they AREN'T terrorists, when they ARE! It isn't necessary to support Hamas or Islamic Jihad, nor is it necessary to decline to oppose them, because one is opposed to the Israeli Government's violence, which has led to the deaths of so many innocent Palestinian civilians - including children.
@rmblaber1956 Well, I think #Hamas are cunts, but would I say that to #PiersMoron? No. Because in that context, it's just circle jerk name calling, something Hamas does all the time.
The problem is, #Corbyn is crap at PR, but the other problem is that snarl words serve no purpose other than to preach to the choir.
Remember, there are a lot of very brave #Ukranian partisans operating behind enemy lines right now. Can you guess what the #Russians are calling them?
Fatema Sha'at is a 24 yr old #Palestinian#Ukranian - she talks about how #USA wants to help save half of her & help kill the other half.
Her parents & other family members are currently trapped in #Gaza - her perspective is unique due to her mixed identity.
I have been learning ukranian on duolingo since the Ukrainians moved in with us. At the weekend I had to use their phone to take pictures and I could actually read the kyrillic menu! I was so excited! It was just things like photo and video but still! #languages#ukranian#duolingo
📸 Stretching a friend volunteer of Spravzhni Ukraine🏋🏽♂️
A little flexibility session before going to do our tasks like shoveling, carrying buckets of dirt, to name a few.🧹
Caring volunteers from Kherson who survived the occupation and from around the world 🌎 clean out homes that were affected by the flood from the destroyed Kakhovka Dam in Kherson.
"It holds water equal to that in the Great Salt Lake in the U.S. state of Utah and also supplies water to Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, and to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is also under Russian control."
The BBC speculated it would have been used to move #Ukranian troops in the counteroffensive.
