Naprosté pohrdání lidskými životy i kulturním dědictvím ze strany putinovského Ruska. Tyto barbarské útoky musíme mít na paměti při debatách o bezpečnosti a obraně ČR a Evropy, zvláště před nadcházejícím summitem NATO.

Tonight, Russia attacked one of the most prominent shrines and historical monuments of Ukraine - the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a world heritage site #UNESCO. This is deliberate destruction of #UNESCO cultural heritage. The world needs to see this.

🧵🚨 #WarCrimes #StandWithUkraine

➡️ Last night, Russia launched a massive, coordinated missile and drone barrage against civilian targets across Ukraine. The assault was aimed directly at densely populated areas, and the tactics were pure terror. 

🔹 In Kharkiv: Russia used a brutal "double tap" tactic. A second strike deliberately hit the exact same location minutes after the first, killing five first responders from the State Emergency Service who were working to extinguish the flames and save lives. 

🔹 In Kyiv: A direct hit set fire to the roof of the historic Dormition Cathedral within the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra—a 1,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage site. 

🚨 This isn't military strategy. It is a calculated assault on civilian lives, emergency workers, and Ukraine's cultural identity. 

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Having recently returned from my seventh trip to Ukraine as a humanitarian volunteer, I’ve seen the physical and emotional aftermath of these atrocities firsthand. The occupiers do not

Another sleepless night in Ukraine due to massive russian attack.
Destruction, fires, casualties and deaths...
Russia continues to destroy our lives and cities.💔

@randahl @benroyce Don’t know about you, but this makes me want to #standwithukraine even more 🤬

From Kyiv 🇺🇦 to Malden, MA, USA 🇺🇸. Thank you, Ukrposhta and UAnimals! 🐾

🌻 In May, at the end of my humanitarian volunteer trip, I used Ukrposhta (Ukrainian Postal Service) to mail home a small package — and it arrived in a special UAnimals box.

🐴🪽🐕 🐟For those who don’t know, UAnimals has been rescuing animals of all species from cruelty and war in Ukraine since 2016 — evacuating animals from combat zones, delivering food and veterinary care to shelters, and fighting for animal protection laws.

➡️ Please consider supporting them: https://uanimals.org/en/

🐱Naturally, my rescue kitties Xing Xing and Clemmie had to investigate. They fully approve of the box and send their solidarity to their friends overseas. 💙💛

Endlich mal Dissens zu #MichaelThumann ! 😊

@michaelthumann.bsky.social schreibt einem Leitartikel der @zeit.de : "Gibt es irgendeine Überschneidung bei den Vorstellungen von Russen und Europäern? In all dem Gewirr von Namen, Drohungen und Lockungen spricht einiges dafür, ein europäisches Team aufzustellen, das auslotet, was überhaupt möglich ist."

In kurz: Nein, gibt es nicht und Nein, es spricht nichts dafür.

In lang: Für #putin sind #Verhandlungen Teil der Kriegsführung, sie sind der Runterregler seiner Herdplatte, das Stöckchen, mit dem er den Westen wieder brav Sitz machen lässt, sie sind unser Schnuller, unser Morphium.
Der Versuch einer diplomat. Lösung ist zur Genüge und mit bekanntem Ergebnis unternommen worden (#Minsk #Minsk2). Wie oft wollen wir noch in einer neuen Welt aufwachen? putin und sein #russland gehören nicht durch #Diplomtie geadelt, sondern vor Gericht.

The Russian #invasion of Ukraine is a defining confrontation of our time, and there is much you can do to help Ukrainians defend themselves -- and thereby affirm much that is of value in our world.
