@battleforeurope@StasOlenchenko Can you remind me how Hitler was stopped? Talks and negotiations? Could our grandpas let him go deep through soviets so 25 millions of them would be saved? And Putin said already - nobody will stop me, so for whom is that peace?
Russia was forced to attack Ukraine because Ukrainians wanted to join NATO?
NATO promised it would not expand to the east but later broke this promise?
It will take me less than five minutes to prove with facts that both statements are false.
We have entered the third year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
On February 24, 2022 at 03:59 a.m. an image from surveillance cameras at a crossing point between Crimea and the rest of Ukraine captures a Ukrainian border guard running away from the invaders. Within 20 minutes, on 3 different axes Ukraine was overrun by huge columns of tanks, armour, artillery, logistics, radar etc.
The world's second army was invading a peaceful country and was about to provoke the most destructive war in Europe after World War II.
Remember what you were doing 2 years ago? How did you wake up? It was a Thursday.
I remember reading every news item with a hunger for information and already the idea was taking shape that Ukraine would succumb in a few dozen hours. That is until the first Russian column coming from Belarus was destroyed by Ukrainian artillery. Around 2pm a Russian Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter was shot down in the Kyiv area. And I was beginning to hope.
Then other columns were beginning to be destroyed. The Ukrainians were not standing down. In the face of the most monstrous, the most horrible war machine in the world, the Ukrainians said "we do not surrender!".
Then President Zelensky goes down in history forever when President Biden's offer to be extracted from Ukraine with the help of the United States is answered by President Zelensky: "I don't need a ride. I need ammo!". As a result, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians rush to recruitment centres to defend their country.
The heroes of Snake Island reply to the Moskva, which threatens them with death if they don't surrender: "Russian ship, go fuck yourself!" And eventually, it did.
Europe opened its gates to refugees and along with the US imposed sanctions on Russia and at the same time started sending more and more offensive military aid.
Russia responded with the massacres of Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka. With the Mariupol genocide. With the destruction of millions of civilian lives in Ukraine. The Evil was obvious. So was the Good.
It's been two years since everyone's lives changed. Most of you here have been directly involved in supporting a nation in the process of extermination. Most here continue to do so.
Exactly two years ago Russia was changing up the lives of tens, maybe hundreds of millions of people. Most have shown immense evidence of empathy, solidarity, tolerance, action and courage.
Now Ukraine, Ukrainians are in a major problem. The lack of ammunition due to slow support over the last half year, the fatigue of those fighting (for yes, only they are allowed to be tired) is being felt and costing many Ukrainian lives. Now, perhaps more than ever, Ukraine needs our help!
This evening in Bucharest at the photo exhibition of the great Vadim Ghirdă I met a man from the Republic of Moldova who follows me here on social media and who told me almost with tears in his eyes: "when you go there again, please tell the brave Ukrainian fighters that we support them. Please tell them that they are not alone, that we are with them!"
I think now of those I met there who are still alive. Some are in the trenches right now. It's night and they are probably listening to Cervona Kalyna or other Ukrainian songs right now to cheer them up in the cold and horror they are sitting in, not sure if they are still alive in an hour and thinking of their family back home.
I think of them and the fact that they are the ones who have inspired me and us all to be braver. Let's not stop when it's hard, because neither do they. Let's fight the "impossible".
I invite you to leave a message of support. Or retweet this because that's how these texts reach the fighters out there. It is extremely hard for them now and yet they don't give up. They go on.
They are an inspiration. We have to be nothing but supportive.
Glory to the heroes who have been on the side of good for two years! Glory to those who support them!
Slava Ukraini!
Today marks 2 years of Russia brutal war AGAINST Ukraine.
Ukraine did not choose this war – Russia unjustly attacked a sovereign state.
#WordsMatter. Use the correct terminology and name the aggressor.
During the Munich conference I was asked why I am so gloomy. Well, somebody has to tell it like it is, so here’s how it is: Things are not going well. 🧵
