Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, analysts & officials have claimed that Putin will never back down; that he needs a facing-saving win (i.e. Ukrainian territory) to end his war. Events yesterday completely undermined that assumption. 1/ THREAD

Hope it goes without saying but this is much bigger than one billionaire being a fraud and a liar. Our public squares and media platforms should not be for-profit entities and they certainly shouldn’t be controlled by the richest people on earth.

CNN showed how the Russian military killed 2 unarmed men on March 16. At first,the Russians asked the two Ukrainians for cigarettes, and when they left, they shot them in the back. The victims are the owner of a car salon and a 68-year-old security guard

I wish we were hearing more outrage from leaders in the Middle East and Africa about how Putin is showing zero concern about food supplies to your countries. Zero.

#WindofChange has reached the #RussianPeople . This is how they feel about #Putin 's #fascist regime, #mobilization , & war crimes in Ukraine. Please share with everyone - the world must see this.

Mariupol City Council has just published that Russians have taken the mother of 4 y.o. Alice. Today only a child arrived in Zaporizhia, whereabouts of her mother is unknown. UN and ICRC, you did evacuation of civilians from the AzovStal plant in Mariupol, how could this happen?

Progressive! Phillips P. OBrien Euromaidan Press The Russian people will have to liberate Russia from tyranny. Not outside forces.

I’m still reeling that 5 folks who lied in the job app for a lifetime gig given to them by 2 guys who lost the popular vote appear set to overturn a 50 year old law that 70% of Americans want to keep and affects 100% of women and many men

How did we get on this timeline and how do we get out of it? Asking for a planet

Denmark asked India to influence Russia to end the Ukraine war

The EU recently said it found common ground with India in curbing the aggressive behaviour of authoritarian regimes

A veiled reference to Russia, but India's policy has not shifted

Idiots never learn.

Remember this when people go hungry in Africa and the Middle East.

While the UN Secretary General António Guterres is visiting Kyiv, a permanent member of the UN Security Council - russia - is launching missile strikes on the city. This is an attack on the security of the Secretary General and on world security!

BREAKING: Germany confirms it will stop buying Russian oil by the end of 2022

It would be a shame if this photograph went viral.

Samuel Ramani Public is anxious for the success of Ukraine. It's so heartbreaking to watch. Let's not divide EU and NATO partners. Trust they will do everything necessary. Maybe it is slow to come & Zelenskyy is under immense pressure & worried about ammo. Let's work together & get this done.

I am Serhiy Volyna, Commander of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade named after Rear Admiral Mykhailo Belinsky, am addressing to you from the besieged Mariupol.
We will not give up and will fight to the end.

Since the Kremlin lies about everything in any case and controls all Russian media, Putin can as well declare victory in Ukraine, go home and hold his victory parade on May 9 without killing any more Ukrainians.
