Here to share factual info about the ua-ru war.
This order is crucial: Facts first. Then opinions.
Change of mind is strength, not weakness.
Especially encourage pro-ru ppl to follow me, bc you're probably just misinformed🤔
As European I‘m independent of Dem/GOP, and perhaps easier to trust?

Reading this, we must scream as loud as we can:
#Europe: do more!
#USA, #India & #Brazil: Why don’t help? Can’t you distinguish between good and evil?
#China: Stop helping the enemy!

I decided to share with you a Facebook post by Lesia Lytvynova, a well-known Ukrainian volunteer.
" 'We are running out.' I have read this phrase countless times in recent days from acquaintances and not-so-volunteers. We are running out. Our strength is not infinite. We are running out.

Why the Russian Orthodox Church Is Lobbying in Washington
A campaign framed as faith and rooted in Moscow reaches Washington to sway US Christians. But all the narratives repeat Kremlin propaganda and ignore Russian aggression.

I think I speak for a large majority of Europeans;
If the US ever is to regain our trust, you have to put Trump and his acolytes in jail where they belong, and you need to help us defeat the fascist Russia.
If not, 80 years as allies are gone.

So Trump egged the protesters on by promising to come to their aid, then changed his mind after talking to the murderer MBS, and thus indirectly helping the crazy Ayatollahs.
Nice.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia joined Arab allies in urging Trump to avoid military strikes on Iran, warning that retaliation could destabilize the region and damage the global economy. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally called Trump to press for restraint.

Weidel is a traitor who is spying on German infrastructure for Putin.
Everyone who accuses Putin of breaking international law says the same about Trump, so here she is lying.
NATO's admission of new members has never been the cause of Russia's war. That is Russian propaganda.
