"The main reason for the war is not hatred of Ukraine. Nor is it the case that most Russians want a restoration of the Soviet Union...The reason is exactly what Olaf Scholz called ridiculous...a genocide in eastern #Ukraine..."natyliesbaldwin.com/2022/03/the-ma…

"Many Russians found it an insult for a German chancellor to use such words in the context of mass murder in Eastern Europe – ridiculous – even if what happened in Donbass could not be considered genocide strictly by definition."

"today you will not find anything about the victims in the East in western media, only the victims of the Russian attacks. That is a huge problem, because it was the Ukrainian army shelling its own population... an omission of facts, in this case, is a lie that leads to violence"

#Ukraine: how the global fertiliser shortage is going to affect food theconversation.com/ukraine-how-th… via @ConversationUK

"As you sit & read this article, the air you breath contains 78% nitrogen gas – this is the same source of nitrogen used in the production of most manufactured nitrogen fertilisers. However, to take this gas from the air and into a bag of fertiliser takes a huge amount of energy"

"Consequently, the cost of producing nitrogen fertiliser is directly linked to the cost of fuel. This is why the UK price of ammonium nitrate has climbed as high as £1,000 per tonne at the time of writing, compared to £650 a week ago." #Ukraine

"Politicians at all levels...have been conspicuous by their silence on threats to Russian Canadians... It’s almost as if it’s open season on anyone seen as insufficiently critical of Putin’s Russia or those who wish to remain...neutral"nationalpost.com/opinion/rupa-s… #cdnpoli

"... the (celebration of the) absence of vigorous debate on the (#Ukraine) conflict in the Canadian context is extremely peculiar given how there’s at least some debate in other NATO countries, including in the #US"

"It’s almost as if cancel culture has morphed into a thought police that will brook no dissent on a particular received narrative on the current crisis...This cancel culture has seeped into international relations, too." #Ukraine

"every other main player in the Ukraine crisis has strenuously avoided leaving their capital city . Ever since the Russian invasion began on Feb. 24, #Trudeau is really the only NATO leader who has journeyed outside his own borders." msn.com/en-ca/news/can… #cdnpoli

"The Canadian delegation posted photos of themselves seeming to walk busily past Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. The monument isn’t really between any offices that the group would have been visiting, so the image was almost certainly staged." #Trudeau #cdnpoli

"At a summit with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in Warsaw, #Trudeau could be seen sporting his signature loud socks."
