On International Women's Day, I'd like to pay my respects to Ukrainian first lady, Olena Zelenska.

*I will not have panic and tears. I will be calm and confident. My children are looking at me. I will be next to them. And next to my husband. And with you."

We will never forget you or your courage. 🏆

Violinists Across the World Play for Ukraine via @YouTube
Violinist Kerenza Peacock: "I befriended some young violinists in Ukraine via Instagram and discovered some were in basement shelters but had their violins. So I asked colleagues across the world to accompany them in harmony.
And I got sent videos from 94 violinists in 29 countries in 48 hours!! An astonishing collaboration forming an international violin choir of support for Ukraine. Illia Bondarenko had to film this between explosions, because he could not hear himself play.

"We consider it morally unacceptable to be silent bystanders, when people are dying in a neighbouring state. They are dying on account of those who preferred weapons to peaceful diplomacy."
"We call for this foreign policy tradition to be continued today: to withdraw military forces from Ukrainian territory, to cease the bombardment of Ukrainian cities and to start honest negotiations – without ultimatums and without demands for the other side’s capitulation."

Harrowing account of a Ukrainian woman who escaped to safety in Poland. She wrote an 18-point *survival checklist* for others making the trip.

Nearly caused my brain to melt, that this is happening in the middle of Europe, in 2022. 🤬

The wagons get crowded to the very last centimeter. In our "coupe" (of course there are no walls) there were 12 people for 6 seats. In ours, there were 8 adults and 4 children. They were sitting in each other's arms. Standing is difficult and there is nothing to hold onto.
Expect a very long journey. There are no toilets. The first six hours we were were not allowed to get off the train. Since the train is clogged, it's just impossible to get out. There was no platform, so you have to jump about half a meter or more. Climbing back is hard as well.

When thousands of people stand together for peace in Budapest, Hungary. To send a message to our neighbors in Ukraine, who are in grave danger, whose lives have been shattered. That their pain is our pain. That we are with them. 💔

"I’m half Ukrainian, half German, and was born in Budapest. My friends are all different nationalities & speak different languages. Despite our differences, we are friends, and we respect each other." — 13-year old Patrizia at anti-war rally in Budapest.
