Merry Christmas! Remember Ukraine! Stand with Ukraine!

This is funny & uncanny at the same time. Russia unveiling a monument to Felix Dzerzhinsky, one of the worst murderers of Christians from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution - to the tune of “Jesus Christ, superstar!” #StandWithUkraine

Remember that night when Iran attacked Israel and when NATO jets were collectively shooting the drones and missiles down? It’s every night in Ukraine. Only more drones. And no NATO jets. #StandWithUkraine

Volodymyr Mykolayenko, former mayor of Kherson who refused to be exchanged in favour of other 🇺🇦 PoW and who was released only now, 3 years later, tells his story. How he was beaten “almost daily, except on Easter”. And that’s all you need to know about Russia’s “Christianity”.

The more you shake Putin’s hand, the more trigger-happy it gets.

Finally these two found where they belong.

Dictator putin and his clique judging Ukraine’s government legitimacy is like bats opining on a sunrise. Stick to what you know, night dwellers!

11 years ago, 🇺🇦 Olena Kulish & Volodymyr Alyokhin got executed mafia-style in #Donbas. “Guilty” of supplying 🇺🇦 soldiers with food. He was in IT. She was a popular radio host & animal rights activist. Russians killed her 6 dogs too. Just for the fun of it. #RussianWarCrimes

You give me huge chunk of your territory, including major cities. And I will graciously stop killing you. Maybe. For now. Sincerely, Russian Federation Permanent member of the UN Security Council

My sincere gratitude to President @ZelenskyyUA for appointing me Ukraine’s new ambassador to South Africa. It’s an honour & challenge in so many ways. Diplomacy is my life-long passion & the world’s best job which I gladly embrace again. #StandWithUkraine

This a-cappella rendition of a popular Ukrainian love song became an instant hit. In all my years on this earth I haven’t seen 🇺🇦 culture as vibrant as it is now. #StandWithUkraine

An illustration to put russian smugness in perspective. Somewhere around 2018, during my time as 🇺🇦ambassador in Austria, I was informed of contacts between Catholic Church & 🇷🇺 Orthodoxy. Catholics were doing the Christian thing: reaching out a friendly hand, trying to smooth out existing problems. ⬇️

Without too many words. 🇷🇺: You kill PoWs, don’t you? 🇺🇦: We ain’t you. #StandWithUkraine

A stunning account on how #RussianArmy fights this war - from Saïd Ismagilov, Ukraine’s supreme mufti who has been fighting for Ukraine for the last three years. Thread 🧵

Russians started what was supposed their Ukraine blitzkrieg by bombing Kyiv and other 🇺🇦 cities at 4am - just like the Nazis in 1941. They got stopped 19 miles away from Kyiv - just like the Nazis 19 miles from Moscow. History does rhyme. #StandWithUkraine

The best of 🇺🇦 world record holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh. Keep it up, Yara! So proud of you! #StandWithUkraine

Overnight, for the first time ever, a fighter jet got shot down by a sea drone. Ukraine‘s another “for the first time ever”. Bye-bye, 🇷🇺 SU-30! #StandWithUkraine

They raze peaceful cities to the ground and sing songs on the ruins. Madness. #Victory80 #StandWithUkraine

They were a family of three. Oleksandr, a war vet, his wife Anna, and their 1.5 month old baby girl. On Wednesday, russia‘s North-Korea-made missile destroyed their Kyiv home and killed Anna. #StandWithUkraine

Kyiv today. Ukrainian kids waiting for their friend to be rescued from under the rubble. He didn’t survive. #StandWithUkraine

Kyiv last night. One of the most barbaric attacks. I wonder what inspired Russia this time. #StandWithUkraine

6 ballistic missiles and 6 cruise missiles have attacked Kyiv so far - plus an undisclosed number of Iranian-Russian “shahed” drones. More incoming. FU, Russia! #StandWithUkraine

#Zakharova: it was a “high-precision military strike on a restaurant “Magellan” in #Sumy where a military meeting with international instructors took place”. Right. Except it wasn’t high-precision, there’s no such restaurant in Sumy & you scumbags hit civilians on their way to church. #RussiaLies

Ukraine carries to grave the victims of russia’s Palm Sunday “mistake”. Father, mother and son. The family was on their way to church. They put a soccer ball into the son’s casket. The boy loved soccer. #StandWithUkraine #Sumy

Her name was Olena. A Russian missile killed her today in 🇺🇦 Sumy. One of 34 dead (so far). #StandWithUkraine

Ukraine is “Live free or die”. Ukraine is “Don’t tread on me”. Ukraine stands for what US and free world once stood for. #StandWithUkraine

During the Holocaust, there were those who ratted the Jews out, those who saved them - and those who saved them only as long as the Jews paid. And then they ratted them out. They probably said things like “Why prolong the inevitable?” And “What is your endgame, anyways?”

Stay calm and arm Ukraine.

It’s so incredible to see people carrying “Live Free or Die” and “Don’t tread on me” signs not support Ukraine - the one country going all the way through for the very same principles. #StandWithUkraine

What’s this urge with some people to explain Ukraine to Ukrainians? Especially if you’ve never been to Ukraine and know nothing about it. Is there a medical term for that? #StandWithUkraine

The world’s anti-Americanism was growing for decades. Yet a number of countries defied the trend and remained pro-US. Ukraine… Canada… EU... UK… And now… Now it’s as if someone goes over the list of America’s friends. And strikes them off, one by one. #StandWithUkraine

Remember how in 2022, when Ukraine “had no cards”, Ukraine went like…

All these “You should’ve never trusted America in the first place” people - do you really believe that Ukraine fights this war because it trusted America? It fights this war because it wants to live in freedom. Why is this so hard to understand? #StandWithUkraine

Another road of death in Ukraine filled with russian burnt military hardware. Judging from the snowy view, the video is fresh (it has been a snowless winter, aside from February). Ukrainian army does its job well. #StandWithUkraine

Occupiers having their fun in the sea of suffering they caused in Ukraine. - I’m a realtor… If you’re looking for property below market price, now is the time… #RussiaUkraineWar #StandWithUkraine

Belarus dictator (and putin’s ally) Lukashenko to a UK journalist: “Because of constantly criticising your gov, you’ve reached a stage where an “indus” (PM Sunak?) was in charge! You used to be an empire - and now your former “mentees” run things!” “Anti-imperialism”, huh? #StandWithUkraine

Orban demands “respect” from Ukraine - while calling it “a beggar”. Does he know how respect works? #StandWithUkraine

Russian occupiers looting Kurakhove in 🇺🇦 Donbas: - This is my new phone…. This is my new apartment… Too bad someone took the TV already!… Oh, I found some booze!… “Saving Donbass”, huh?… #RussianArmy #StandWithUkraine

One more year of the country coloured in red unable to break the country coloured in gold. F you, russia! Happy New Year, decent people of the world! #StandWithUkraine

A 🇺🇦 PoW returning home reads a poem 🇺🇦 students learn at school. So moving. “Love our Ukraine in your dreams & awake Love her as a cherry in blossom Her beauty eternal, her language that rings Like a nightingale’s song in the orchard…”

On a non-political note… This year, was Yaroslava’s and mine 30th anniversary… Yet, somehow this doesn’t feel that much.

The hell of Mariupol and russian captivity didn't break the Ukrainian defenders Nava and Gerda. Their dream sustained them through everything. Now it came true: they're already on their way back from Antarctica, together with @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social This is the story of their journey👇

What a typical story with Azerbaijani plane, downed by russians… People are dead. Sacrificed to samodurstvo (russian word for self-righteous stupidity.) #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Just like last year, putin chooses the Christmas Day for a massive missile attack on Ukraine’s cities. Targeting energy infrastructure. Wanting us to freeze to death. Yeah, he is a “Christian” fighting for “family values”. #MerryChristmas  #StandWithUkraine️

Undisputed champion. Ukraine is power 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

- This was my restaurant! I planted these trees! I put my soul in it! And then these animals destroyed it. Pictures from today’s Kyiv. #StandWithUkraine

Something apocalyptic about this broken (and still working) digital billboard in Kyiv downtown this morning. #StandWithUkraine

First responders saving dogs in Kyiv this morning. #StandWithUkraine

So, Putler described what he started in Ukraine as “dvizhukha”. That’s youth lingo for “excitement” & “movement”. Like going to a nightclub & getting high all night. Or - destroying millions of lives in a barbaric war. What a creep! #StandWithUkraine
