"Those who want peace do not start wars, those who respect international law do not violate it and those who reject imperialism do not act like imperialists and invade their neighbours." — @olex_scherba Louder for the people in the back 👏👏👏
My op-ed with @TheCitizen_News. “…Ukraine is being openly pressured to accept this. At this point, there is no way to know whether and how many of these preconditions will be met. What is clear though is that once they are, it will be a different world from there on. A world

37 years ago on this day, the greatest cargo aircraft ever built, Antonov An-225 Mriya, had its maiden flight. The queen of the skies fell victim of the Russian war on Ukraine, but who knows; maybe one day we’ll see another Mriya in flight.

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address. Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording. "I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act." The formula aggressors use to make conquest sound like self-defense hasn't changed in 86

Russia’s demands for peace risk normalising conquest, impunity and imperial ambition in the modern world.

Russia and its state-run church are every day attacking Ukraine and, in parts of Ukraine they occupy, banning and persecuting Catholics, Ukrainian Orthodox, and Evangelicals. And yet because of the woke-victim voodooery and massive budgets they are able to send Kremlin priests
The persecution of Christians under Zelenskyy cannot be ignored. I was honored to stand with a delegation from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to raise awareness for the state-backed crackdown on religious freedom. The U.S. must defend Christians and stand for religious liberty,

Putin: “all objectives of “special military operation” will be fulfilled”, “historically Russian territories will be returned.” The madman conducts this war for the same reasons as Hitler 85 years ago.

Ukraine has been called the Bible Belt of Europe because of the high numbers of evangelical Christians. The worst place to be a prot Christian in Ukraine is Russian occupied territory. And Russia has persecuted evangelicals for being “tools of the West.” Don’t be fooled by pro
Torture and imprisonment await Protestants and Catholics practicing their faith in Russian-occupied Ukraine. Why? Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill declared a Holy War on Ukraine and the west. The @societyofstjohn, followers of Kirill, are on Capitol Hill today. Ask them about

@AdamKinzinger Call it whatever you want, but this is what a losing invasion looks like in real life. I have spent years in Ukraine, on training grounds, near the front, and inside the system. If Russia were winning, this war would not look like this in year four. They would not still be

Russia's illicit recruiting efforts in Africa make headlines across the continent, from Kenya to Botswana, and backfire on Moscow. What has been revealed thus far is likely just the tip of the iceberg. We urge all African media and governments to take bold action to stop Russian
