Solidarity for Zelensky. The most remarkable leader in Europe since WW2.

#SlavaUkraineSlavaEU

The Ukrainian Armed Forces made Putin & his cannon-draftees pay for every metre of Avdiivka.

It cost them dearly too.

For goodness sake, give them the means to defend themselves. Lend-lease, whatever.

That means 155mm shells, in particular.

The last 6 months, while Speaker Johnson & MAGA Republicans have played political football with the lives of brave Ukrainian men & women defending their homeland & families, have been excruciating to witness.

#SlavaUkraineSlavaEU

War.

Tens of years of fascist russian propaganda finlandisizing Western countries, leaders, peoples, and media except those bordering russia.

We are at the point where, if we cannot defend militarily our values of freedom, democracy, rule of law, and human rights, they are in a risk of having been a mere illusion.

That's why. #slavaukraineslavaeu
