I wanted to right something that sums up the gravity of the two year anniversary of the heinous attack but also the subsequent and equally tragic Genocide. In essence the hostages need to be returned immediately and equally the genocide needs to end. Killing on both sides cannot be tolerated.

Mr Trump said Ukraine should agree a deal to end the war with Russia because "Russia is a very big power, and they're not", in that case we should have given in to Hitler or Stalin or Brezhnev. WTF

80 years ago today World War 2 ended and dictatorships fell. No dictator ever succeeds. Let us not forget.
