An exhibition of and a victory for GETTING IT LAUNCHED.

Amazing. Croatia will NEVER be tired. NEVER.

I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.

"Ours". How much power is in this word. Thousands of people on Kherson streets meet their defenders with blue and yellow flags – footage that bring tears to the eyes of every Ukrainian today. Ours are at home. Kherson is free. Soon the whole 🇺🇦 will be free.
