#Ukraine holds strong. #UkraineWillPrevail
On the fourth anniversary of the liberation of 🇺🇦 #Bucha:
It’s probably not always on everyone’s mind, but for over a year now, #Ukraine has received nothing for free from the #USA—except (presumably) intelligence.
The US had already cut off all military, financial, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine by early 2025. The relationship is therefore purely “transactional,” #Trump-style: a trade deal.
https://www.kielinstitut.de/publications/news/ukraine-support-after-4-years-of-war-europe-steps-up/
So, for more than a year #Zelenskyy hasn’t traveled to the U.S. to express his gratitude for any ongoing aid.
Instead, he's been traveling there because he must publicly thank Trump for the permission to buy weapons and equipment from the U.S.
Just in case anyone is still wondering why Trump’s interest in Ukraine’s success consistently seems to be zero: he’s making good money off this war, which he could help end quickly.
Die @Bundesregierung unterstützt jetzt einen völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg eines "Alliierten", der für seine Umfragewerte alles tut – sogar Russland mehr Geld für Gleitbomben und Raketen auf #Ukraine zu verschaffen.
Irgendeinen Kommentar, #FriedrichMerz?

»#Ukraine has received only about 600 advanced interceptor missiles for the MIM-104 #Patriot air defense system during the entire course of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian officials told The New York Times. […]
During the first days of the recent US-Israeli war with Iran, Middle Eastern countries reportedly used more than 800 Patriot interceptors to defend against over 2,000 Iranian drones and more than 500 ballistic missiles, Zelensky and European Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius told the newspaper.«
The Wild Hornets have such great raffles!
*and* you get to help beat Russia!
That's a great deal for anyone ❤️🔥
So, if you can spare a buck, donate!

A short update on #businesses still operating in #Russia, paying taxes there:
If you haven't heard much lately about those, it's because "partner" countries raised diplomatic pressure on #Ukraine, a year ago, to no longer publish its list of "sponsors of war".
There seems to be only one public list of companies (how/whether they have reduced their business in Russia) that is still kept up-to-date. It is maintained by the School of Management of the Yale University:
https://www.yalerussianbusinessretreat.com/
You can filter it by many criteria, for instance set "GICS Industry Sector" = "Consumer Staples" if you're interested in candy and sweets.
You might find out that some of your favorite companies are still paying taxes in Russia, potentially funding the arms that wound or kill children, day after day.

New 12-pager on "What Are the Financial Results of Foreign Business in #Russia in 2023, and Have Exit Rates Slowed Down?"
by Oleksii #Hrybanovskyi, Andrii #Onopriienko, Nataliia #Rybalko, all #Kyiv School of Economics, #Ukraine
TL;DR:
Profit tax paid by foreign companies that disclose their figures for Russia rose from USD 5.4 billion (2021) to USD 6.4 billion (2023)¹, mostly due to tax increases;
Staying in Russia increased profits (due to reduced competition), leaving has now become expensive
Foreign banks have seen the biggest rise in profits, especially #Raiffeisen (🇦🇹 #Austria) and #OTPBank (🇭🇺 #Hungary)
Also, food companies like #Mondelez and #Pepsi, that keep saying they're only selling essentials, but actually sell much more
🇨🇳 #China seizes the moment, expanding its business considerably (no sanctions on Russia)
Some companies are camouflaging their ongoing business by fake "exits", like #LeroyMerlin from 🇫🇷 #France
about 1/3 foreign businesses have exited, exits are slowing down

That war is not only taking a heavy toll on the minds, souls and bodies of Ukrainians because of the invaders, but also because of being dependent on politicians and governments abroad that don't really care that much about what #Ukraine is going through.
Being forced to keep quiet, because of that dependency and the hope of not being forsaken, is an additional weight that we put on the shoulders of #Ukraine.
This is not to say that Ukraine would give up without "our" support. They've brought the full-scale invasion to a halt at a time when they had literally no support from abroad.
On war crimes of #Russia in #Ukraine, execution and use as human shields of Ukrainian Soldiers:
»‘When these were isolated cases, we could say that it was perhaps inadequate control by a particular officer of a specific unit. When we saw this happening in different units on the battlefield in #Zaporizhzhia, #Donetsk, #Kherson and Luhansk oblasts, it already indicates that the decision was made at a higher level than the head of a particular unit,’ says Yuriy #Belousov.«
#Ukraine, 2024:
Somebody is throwing hand grenades through your windows, 24/7, but you are strictly obliged to never shoot anywhere outside of your hallway, to avoid hurting them too much.
I believe those "sources" also said that #Putin had no intention whatsoever to invade #Ukraine, full-scale.
Incredible how fabricated speculations get passed off as "exclusive" #news about what Putin "wants".
The Russian tactics of total destruction and murder of civilians is still the same. Nothing has changed since #Mariupol and #Bucha.
And if you think that this is a faraway "issue" you can ignore:
Pause for a moment and consider what an annexed #Ukraine will mean for Europe, 5 years from now, when Russia has re-stocked its arms arsenals - and forcibly conscripted Ukrainians to attack its next target.

It has become easier and more affordable for Ukrainians in the #EU to keep contact with families at home, via telephone:
Ich sehe einiges an Gutem im Wahlprogramm vom #Mera25, es bleibt jedoch an vielen wichtigen Stellen recht vage.
Insbesondere angesichts der vielen Statements zu #Gaza hätte ich mir zum Krieg in der #Ukraine eine genauere Positionierung gewünscht.
Konkret zu finden ist nur diese ältere und hoffnungslos illusionäre, die Russland auf seinem Vernichtungsfeldzug gegen die Ukraine schlichtweg am A* vorbeigehen dürfte:

While you are busy traveling to #China and #Israel, @Bundesregierung:
»#Russia launched 11 missiles in the direction of the plant, according to #Zelensky #Ukraine was able to shoot down the first seven, and four "destroyed Trypillia."
"Why? Because there were zero missiles. We have run out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP," the president said.«
#UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on #Ukraine:
»One Ukrainian soldier, who was detained and tortured by Russian authorities in several detention facilities, recounted his experience in the correctional colony in the town of Donskoy, Tula region, where he was repeatedly subjected to #torture and left with broken bones, broken teeth and gangrene on an injured foot. “I lost any hope and the will to live,”«
I really like when my country #Germany classifies something as a historical #monument and issues preservation orders. I believe it is taking this a bit too far with the #KerchBridge, though.
Today is the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion of 🇺🇦 #Ukraine by the terrorist state of #Russia. Ukrainians are suffering and dying, every day.
Ukraine is as much #Europe as any other country there. And possibly even more European-minded than some #EU countries, at the moment.
If we don't support Ukraine better, we'll soon see the day when no "last-minute actions" will make any difference.
Our and your choice now, @Bundesregierung

We rarely see detailed accounts of the deteriorating state of the #Zaporizhzhia #Nuclear Power Plant #ZNPP, which is held occupied by Russian occupiers. This is an exception.
»The latest reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) […] painted an alarming picture of leaking steam generation circuits and safety systems, inadequate staff, and no 2024 maintenance plan.«
»For years now, #Orban has clashed with E.U. officials and leaders, using his acrimony — and veto — to extract concessions while playing to populist sentiment at home.
But in recent months, he seems to have crossed a new line. Fellow leaders see his latest antics as a genuine threat to European #security — and they are increasingly willing to work around him.«

#EU's patience with #Orban is nearing its end.
Excellent news - if true.
I'd prefer to finally bury the #unanimity principle to using article 7, though. This evolutionary step is long overdue.

@joaocosta Yes, sad to see. Let's hope that 2024 sees a turn-around to the better once again confirming Winston Churchill's famous observation that "Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."
@[email protected] The Hamas attack led to a blocking surge... my feed is better for it, so maybe I'm not feeling the pain as much, but I definitely noticed LESS news about Russia's invasion.
I've started boosting Ukraine news more lately, but I'll step it up. Thanks for the call out.

»Orbán stated that "#Ukraine will not win at the front, the Russians will not lose at the front"; therefore, a "plan B" is needed.«
While we're at negotiating about someone else's territory:
#Hungary has an area of 93,036 km², roughly what #Russia currently holds occupied, in Ukraine.
I have an idea for plan B.
#Orban's #Hungary: Heart in #Moscow, open wallet in #Brussels, #democracy down in the loo. That pretty much sums it up.

Whenever #depleted #uranium (#DU) #ammunition is used, it leaves chemically and radiologically toxic residues.
Says #UNEP, the #UN's Environmental Programme.
See their flyer here:
https://www.unep.org/resources/report/unep-depleted-uranium-awareness
Using such ammunition on your own territory is basically an indirect warfare against yourself, with severe long-term consequences, without any chance of "cleaning up", afterwards. Because: nobody ever does, it's simply deemed too expensive.
Today 🇺🇦 #Ukraine celebrates its 32nd Independence Day.
Today 🇺🇦 #Ukraine is also fighting for its independence.
Take a few minutes and read today's article on how that independence came to be, written by Myroslava Tanska-Vikulova and @williamgloverweiss at #TheCounteroffensive (founded by @timkmak)
And while you're there, take a look at their articles, always focused on humans, talking with 🇺🇦 people, not just about them.

- Stay close to the lives of actual people in #Ukraine, opposed to "covering the war"
- How do Ukrainian families keep contact (refugees abroad)?
- Report on Ukrainian resilience & agency
- Report on specific war crimes, not on statistics about them, e.g. families that saw members abducted to Russia
- Talk *with* Ukrainians more than about them
- Post featured pic & teaser on #Mastodon, answer story-related questions here (fewer haters)
If you're celebrating #Easter, you might wish to #boycott #candy produced by companies still delivering to #Russia (or by companies owned by them):
#Storck group: #Toffifee #merci #nimm2 #Knoppers #WerthersOriginal
+Produced for #ALDI: #MoserRoth, #Choceur #Château
BTW, Ritter claims to "donate" their Russia profits, i.e. #WarCriminals can buy choc & donate to those they raped and orphaned. How "cool". #QuadratischPraktischBlut
@Renegade_GDI Note that there *are* specific individuals from #Russia being sanctioned, in fact more #individuals (14561) than #companies (6153). The developers mentioned aren't on the list, though.
Here's an up-to-date database of #sanctions:
“Vladimir Putin made a grave miscalculation when he launched his war of aggression. He underestimated Ukrainians and he underestimated the solidarity of their friends around the world,” Mr. Trudeau said. “Putin is dangerous, he is cowardly and he is weak.”

Not that any reminder at all was necessary:
"Mangushev said Russia was not at war with people, but with an idea of Ukraine as an "anti-Russian state", and it did not matter how many Ukrainians died."
You can't bomb someone into liking you.

#Sanctions, as an international power #politics tool, are the relatively safe middle ground between a trenchant condemnation and the ordering of troops into combat assignments.
Its efficacy, primarily, is negligible in combating #authoritarianism. Notwithstanding it is all we have.
