Gentle reminder about Ukraine 🕊️

The war in Ukraine did NOT start in 2022, that was merely an escalation into a full-scale invasion. It began in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and their green little men invaded Donetsk and Luhansk in Eastern Ukraine (which they have been incapable of fully conquering to this day). The war has been ongoing for 11 years now.

The Baltic countries were practically SCREAMING a warning at everybody's faces about what was about to come, but Western leaders chose to do nothing about the situation during this time and instead continued to shake hands with Russia for economic reasons (e.g. Nord Stream 2). Apparently, the Baltics were "too paranoid".

Trump has boasted that he would end the war in 1 day, then in 50 days, etc. He was elected President of the United States of America from 2016-2020 (with the help of Russian influence), when the war was already ongoing. He had 4 years to do something. He didn't. (Except for licking Putin's boots during these 8 months in power starting from 2025.)

Trump has promised multiple times that he would harden sanctions against Russia if they don't stop bombing Ukraine. He hasn't. Russia is still bombing Ukraine. If anything, the pressure is always put on Ukraine and Russia always manages to get a free pass. Putin is stalling to keep the war going (in hopes that the West will get tired of supporting Ukraine and they are ultimately forced to surrender) and Trump is falling for it every single time. But we will not tire.

Trump rolled out the red carpet and welcomed the dictator (Putin) of the country that is solely responsible for committing these heinous war crimes with an applause. He attacked, threatened and accused the leader (Zelenskyy) of the country who is the victim in this war (in case it wasn't clear: Ukraine) that THEY are the ones "gambling with World War III". Disgusting.

Ukraine hasn't been able to win this war because WE aren't doing enough. By 'we' I mean Western Europe and the United States of America, who have NOT given Ukraine enough weapons and ammunition since day 1 that would give them the upper hand against Russia. In turn, Russia isn't losing this war because WE haven't put enough pressure on them that would force them to give up.

Germany is all weapons, but indecisive about handing them over to Ukraine. France is all talk, no weapons. At least half of America is OK with being in cahoots with Russia, saying that "we don't care about Ukraine" and withdrawing (or completely halting) military aid whenever they feel like it. Also, these countries have jumped at the opportunity to defend Israel's airspace (who is NOT a NATO member either and is now evidently committing genocide against the Palestinian people out of pure revenge by hiding behind the 'we are only defending ourselves' argument), but are afraid to close up Ukraine's airspace to defend their civilians and infrastructure. Western Europe and the United States of America are duplicitous cowards.

The leaders of Western European countries (I'm pointing a finger at.. let's say Germany, France, Italy and Spain) have chosen the welfare of their own people over aiding Ukraine. They have failed to communicate to their people why it is necessary to help Ukraine NOW, and instead, they are trying to ensure the support of their voters by maintaining a "normal everyday life" without raising taxes or spending more on defence or doing anything that would upset the electorate. This is a deliberate, political decision that is ultimately failing Ukraine. (Meanwhile, Estonia has become the country with the highest inflation in the European Union, the people's resentment towards the government and overall frustration grows day by day, but at least we understand WHY we must suffer and still do all of these things.)

President Joe Biden and the Democrats withheld Ukrainian aid for MONTHS prior to the elections in 2024 because they were scared of losing votes. They lost anyway. This was also a deliberate, political decision that cost Ukraine valuable time and countless lives.

When talking about ceasefire or a solution, Russia keeps referring to the fact that the root causes of this war must be eliminated in order for "peace" to prevail. One of the root causes being that the former Soviet Union member states in Eastern Europe should leave NATO and be united to the Russian Federation again. We NEVER wanted to join the Soviet Union during World War II, our region was divided into zones of interest by the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939 and we were taken BY FORCE by the Russians. Russia has NEVER had to pay any reparations nor apologized for this occupation because they were seen as "the good guys who helped defeat Nazi Germany" by the West. We were forgotten for almost 50 years.

Russia will NOT stop in Ukraine if we let them win this war. Any Eastern European country could be their next target (including NATO members). The only thing they respond to is FORCE.

Eastern Europe (including Scandinavia, the Baltics and countries with a border running alongside Russia or Belarus) are the biggest supporters of Ukraine (both militarily and financially) because we KNOW what it is like to live under that oppressive regime and that this sh*t will come our way if we don't help Ukraine stop Russia right now.

Fuck Putin (& his Russia). Fuck Trump (& his America).

Happy (belated) Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦 🌻

“Service members of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service. 139 of them had been held captive since 2022.” ~ @mfa_ukraine 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇦

#Repost @mfa_ukraine with @use.repost_ . . . 157 Ukrainians have just returned home from Russian captivity!

Service members of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service. 139 of them had been held captive since 2022.

The youngest freed Ukrainian defender is 23. He was captured at 19 while defending Mariupol and was illegally sentenced by a Russian court to life imprisonment. The oldest defender released today is 63.

Today’s exchange took place after a long pause, and we thank everyone working to make these exchanges possible. We must, and we will, bring everyone back.

The add includes the line “Let’s clean ourselves of compulsory Ukrainian Nazism” (not my translation) and links having a Ukrainian name to nazism. And yet people are still debating on Ruzzia’s intent for this war and what they mean by “denazification” (hint: it has nothing to do with nazis)

Early this morning, russian terrorists launched a massive missile attack on Kyiv.

12 residential buildings were damaged. 77 people were injured, 12 were killed

The video shows the moment a missile hits a residential building.

Ukrainian humor these days:

Translation: Fucking thank you.

Then a reply:

- maybe not a very relevant question, but why two sinks in the kitchen?

- just in case one of them will be smashed by a missile
