Berlin made a mistake by prohibiting Ukrainian symbols. It’s deeply false to treat them equally with Russian symbols. Taking a Ukrainian flag away from peaceful protestors is an attack on everyone who now defends Europe and Germany from Russian aggression with this flag in hands.

Tänä yönä venäläiset iskivät vain parin kilometrin päähän hotellistani. Heräsin valtavaan pamahdukseen. Kraaterista näkee räjähduksen koon, todennäköisesti kallis ohjus keskelle uinuvaa kylää keskellä ei mitään.

USA to boycott G20 if #Russia is there. The other countries should follow suit. Better still, just remove Russia

“The worst was in the basement of the dacha. ‘We found 18 bodies in there,’ he said. ‘They had been torturing people. Some of them had their ears cut off. Others had teeth pulled out. There were kids like 14, 16 years old, some adults.’”
In the woods outside Bucha today we met Maria, 80, who hadn't minded the Russian soldiers so much when they turned up at her house. It was only after they withdrew that she found out they had tied up and executed her neighbours. thetimes.co.uk/article/bodie…

This is #Bucha. The outskirt of #Kyiv. Russians were killing people with their hands tied behind their backs and left the bodies near the road. I am shaking. #StopPutinNOW

Mass graves. City bombings. Civilian executions by death squads. Widespread marauding by combatants. Millions of refugees of war. Cities ceasing to exist as human settlements. It’s Europe and the year is 2022, ladies and gentlemen, I keep saying that. – at Ukraine

Read this story till the end. During WWII some children were making diaries from concentration camps & occupied cities by nazis. History is repeating. This is a diary of Katya, a 16 years old girl from Mariupol, whose mother died in the basement👇😢

“Russia wants us to support them but we don’t recognize Crimea, or Donbas. Yes, we are in a union with Russia but it doesn’t apply to this situation. We won’t help Russia avoid US and EU sanctions.” - Deputy chair of the presidential administration in Kazakhstan. This is huge.

Yesterday I cried more than in all the other 36 days of war. The husband of my colleague Olga Stefanyshyna, MP, was killed. He died a hero, trying to evacuate civilians from #Chernihiv. Unimaginable tragedy

Ukrainians in #Mariupol are DYING FROM HUNGER, the government says. Russia is attacking all humanitarian convoys that try to enter the sieged city. People are starving. This is a deliberate destruction of Ukrainians as a nation. They are killing us, starving us, deporting us
