America shows where it stands and it is not with the free world.

🇺🇦 Today, representatives of the diaspora and concerned activists around the world held rallies and motorcades in support of Ukraine The Day of the Crime of Aggression of the Russian Federation cannot be forgotten.

What a remarkable young woman.

Zelenskyy: “I thank all the leaders who are in Ukraine and with Ukraine today, and who have supported Ukrainians throughout all these years of struggle. It is extremely important that we are all together today, speaking with one voice.”

That sounds typical for Trump and his regime.

The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun. He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.

Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Ukraine has proven its resolve and commitment to freedom. We Westerners need to be more Ukrainian - resolute and innovative. We should all appreciate if Ukraine remains a friend and ally - a leader in the West.

"There is a reason that the catchphrase "Be brave like Ukraine" sticks so well, whereas the slogan "Be cautiously realistic like Europe" will never inspire any human to exceed themselves in any endeavour," writes Gabrielius Landsbergis, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, in this op-ed.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Pistorius: "Unfortunately, the American president influenced the course of the war and Putin's self-confidence when he rolled out the red carpet for him and welcomed him as a friend in Alaska, while completely cutting off military support for Ukraine."

The fires at the Kaleikino pump stations in Tatarstan, currently Russia, are raging, and from the looks of it even spreading. The Druzhba pipeline at this segment is most likely out of business for some time.

HUH? This rant is harder to understand than most.

Refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers need health care and Canada and the provinces need to provide it. These people who seek safety in Canada are provided with less supports than most Canadians think. Shortfalls in support are filled through charities - welcome but depend on donations

I think he is also referring to his ally Trump.

Provocative. Sounds like Russia seeks peace! The Russian government needs to be destroyed.

This sentiment is true for all humans. We need to protect each other against all indignities and attacks - whether emotional or physical.

Embarrassed but not enough to look at sanctioning him? The charade that Trump is a leader of a democracy or that America is the leader of the free world needs to stop. Both are myths unsupported by current behaviour.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

🇨🇦 As the Olympics end I want to thank CBC TSN, and SN for their coverage of the sports events. I got my fill. What I like is that all three media broadcasters didn't cover only Canadian athletes but I got to see a lot of terrific performances by athletes from other countries. Norway rocks!

I sometimes think that many Americans think that the world should function for their benefit and convenience. The purpose of scheduling the sports events is not to maximize audience numbers for American media.

🇪🇺 Zelenskyy urges EU to impose sanctions on maritime services used by Russia

t.me/NewsInsideUk... t.me/c/1966917236... Zelenksy introduced sanctions against 225 captains/188 tankers in Russia's "shadow fleet". Among them are citizens of 11 countries, incl. Russia, India, & the Philippines. They transported oil in circumvention of sanctions imposed by EU, G7 & other states

It was an exciting ending!

I have a difficult time referring to Trump as "President". It/he possesses none of the character, credibility, and sacrifice that I expect from a leader of the country. Trump is the opposite of President Zelenskyy.

The IOC is a disgrace. They need to respect their own stated values and principles.

Bigotry and hate is just that. Smith and the UCP do not speak for me or the majority of Albertans. We are a better province because of our diversity not despite it. The funding problems in Alberta are solely the result of consecutive UCP and NDP inaction and politics.

There needs to be more accountability by the provinces for the funds they receive through equalization and transfer payments. It's taxpayer dollars and needs to spent on the purposes for which the money is provided. Smith wants the money without any accountability so it can be diverted to UCP goals

I don't believe in treating anyone differently because of immigrant status. If they are living here they deserve the exact same consideration and benefits as I do. They contribute to our province. All immigrants (my family included) contributed much more than what was given to us and others.

Immigrants and people moving to Alberta from other parts of Canada are not the problem. The problem is the UCP's agenda to keep taxes so low that they can't fund our health and education systems, infrastructure underfunding, wasting money on voting, and no planning. This is Smith's problem.

These people - through their graft - are traitors to Ukraine. I hope they receive quick justice and disappear into the prison system.

The Heavenly Hundred is a reminder of the moment when ordinary people made history. More than a decade ago, during Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, Ukrainians stood on Maidan not for politicians, but for dignity, freedom, and the right to choose their own future.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

They can participate in the Paralympics and represent Russia under the flag. Meanwhile, the IOC is pressuring and disqualifying Ukrainian athletes for speaking out about Russian aggression #UkrainianView suspilne.media/1243028-rosi...

I am sorry for this experience. for these men. There are consequences to choices sometimes and other times you are bullied by people with bigger guns. I hope these men survive to see their kids again. Ukrainians know that dilemma. Death to Russia!

Have Palestinians had any say in this? Does Israel support any statehood for Palestinians? Israel and the US need to be seen as pariah counties - supporting the devastation of people and societies.

You're not talking about peace. Trump is talking about a grift to get money put of all these countries. Countries and their leaders need to demonstrate character. Trump needs loyalty not character. Trump is a losing proposition.

I don't trust the Americans like I once did. Keep good relations - fine. Find alternate alliances and friends in the world - much better. We have been too connected to the US to our disadvantage. America does not respect us. We will change that.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

USAID might have been a help but Trump thought otherwise.

The IOC is only interested in money. It allows countries that have no belief in the presumed values of the IOC to participate.

Some of our black eyes Susans from 2025. The colour is so brilliant.

🇪🇪🇪🇺 Any Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine can still apply for a Schengen visa or obtain a residence permit in the EU under normal procedures. This must be prevented, — Le Monde citing Estonian Foreign Minister

This is not something to be proud of. The American peace efforts are confusing and arbitrary for the moment - much like Hungary's position on many things. I hope that Orban has chosen sides wisely - for the sake of Hungarians.

Roderich Kiesewetter once again speaking out clear facts: Russia must be defeated on Ukrainian soil & completely pushed out of Ukraine. To achieve this, Europe must support Ukraine much more strongly with air defense, but above all with long-range systems such as Taurus among others.

In Canada when Children die, politics are pushed aside. #cdnpoli
