The entire nation of Ukraine is fighting valiantly for its life, freezing and under constant bombardment from Russia. Meanwhile, cozy European leaders discuss incremental sanctions and refuse to seize assets or stop the Russian shadow fleet that finances this genocide in Europe.
Kyiv. Five and a half hours after the total blackout (officially: a major system outage) began. Water is back, electricity is back, still no heating in my district. Ukraine 💪

Dit is een ongekende humanitaire crisis. Er vriezen mensen dood. Dat is een direct gevolg van Ruslands oorlogsmisdaden. Normaalgesproken had dit tot nasale protesten en inzamelingsacties geleid. We lijken (de meerderheid) qua Oekraïne murw te zijn geslagen.
