The @EU_Commission decided to lift the sanctions that prevented #Russia from transiting to #Kaliningrad.
What the hell? And how about "sanctions will not be lifted until Russian troops completely leave #Ukraine"? Are these empty words?
Instead of increasing the sanctions, the West began to lift it.
Canada gave #Russia a gas turbine & promised to maintain turbines for 2 years, which would allow #Putin to earn billions. Now, the EU has lifted the ban on the transit of sanctioned goods to #Kaliningrad. Are you ok?
Dear Lithuanians, dear @GitanasNauseda & @IngridaSimonyte, I urge you to stand your ground & avoid the recommendations of the @EU_Commission.
Destroy the track on which the transit to #Kaliningrad goes, or close it for repairs for a year. This will be your best gift to #Ukraine

🧵The editorial board’s @nytimes recent piece is appalling. Looks like #russian propaganda, something you do not expect from a renowned media. This thread is about that⬇️
In its new article, @nytimes writes that betting on 🇺🇦 military victory is only "dangerous assumption" & that returning all 🇺🇦territories under 🇺🇦 control is an unrealistic goal. The editorial office is worried that help of 🇺🇸 to 🇺🇦 will lead to protracted, costly & drawn-out war
Talking about costly war is low. It’s like putting price tag on freedom & democracy. For country proud of its democratic achievements this should be obvious!Furthermore might I remind u that protracted war has been going on for 8 years & world chose to pretend it wasn't happening
🧵Today, #Putin's Nazi #Russia celebrates Victory Day in #WorldWarII. But who really won the war, whose victory Russia so wants to appropriate?
And who were the biggest victims of this war?
More on this, as well as about #Ukraine and Ukrainians in WWII in this thread⬇️
#Russia often speaks of its power based on a ‘fact’ that they won WWII, and often claim that Germany owes them something, because Russia was the biggest victim of the war.
But this is a manipulation.
France, UK, US & USSR (which consisted not only of🇷🇺but also🇺🇦& others) won WWII
#Russia always forgets the contributions made by US, UK & other allies who fought against Nazis.
They also forget that they gained all their military power thanks to Lend-Lease. Yep, US provided USSR with more than half of the weapons used by USSR. Hundreds of billions of $.
🧵#russia can't be a member of #UN Security Council.
But they have never been a member of @UN Security Council.
Moreover, they have never been a member of UN. And never joined UN.
#Russia isn't a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
A permanent member of the UN Security Council is a privilege that allows you to veto any decision.
The UN Charter clearly states 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council: the US, the UK, France, China & USSR/2
Yeah, It's the Soviet Union, which disintegrated 30 years ago, that is a permanent member of the #UN Security Council. Legally, it still exists in UN documents.
This is a big manipulation of #Russia.
They've appropriated a seat in the Security Council without any rights to it/3
The information that the civilians will be evacuated from Kramatorsk by trains at this time is public. The russians knew that there would be thousands of people. But to strike at civilians was their goal⬇️
Yesterday at night, separatist Telegram channels warned people of #Donbas that it was dangerous to evacuate from #Kramatorsk and Sloviansk by rail and called for the use of cars.
▫️This morning at 10:13 a video of the launch of 2 missiles was published. It was filmed in Shakhtarsk. This town has been occupied for 8 years.
▫️The first reports of the attack on the #Kramatorsk railway station were released at about 10:45.
Russian troops retreat from near #Kyiv. The Ukrainian army chases them away. New video from the suburbs of Kyiv - Bucha. Dozens of civilian corpses are lying on the roads. Some people with their hands tied. #Russia bastards killed hostages.
The Vienna Convention doesn't work...
🧵Stop believing this “Ukrainians are Nazis” narratives!
This is #Russian propaganda!
The only Nazi army in the world today is the Russian army.
I want to tell you things about the #Ukrainian army that will surprise you⬇️
The #Ukrainian army is a multiethnic army that has united Ukrainians, Georgians, Americans, & even Russians & Belarusians.
There are men & women.
There are left, right, and moderates.
There are Christians, Muslims, Jewish & Atheists.
They're united by the struggle against #Russia
In peacetime, there were more than 57,000 women in the Armed Forces of #Ukraine. This is more than 22.5% of the total army. In Ukraine, women are not conscripts. They join the army because they want to protect our country.
