Europe must stop waiting for the US to deliver peace here. If you want real and lasting peace, help Ukraine defeat russia — now.

I was not aware of this part of Belarussian history. Very interesting!
Belarus is not Russia. Never has been. Belarus is Europe—historically, culturally, and politically. We will bring our country back to Europe’s family, where it belongs. @platformraam @DeRodeHoed

and as Swiss citizen (and low level politician) I add, that Switzerland should definitely do more to support the UA.
We lost so much time waiting for the US. But not a single Tomahawk, JASSM or sanction supported Ukraine, only the strong 🇺🇦soldiers did. Europe must stop wasting time & watching from the sidelines. Europe´s waiting costs Ukrainian lifes. It´s a European task to support Ukraine, to win the war and contain terrorstate Russia.

Any absurd attempt at drawing a moral equivalency between Russia and Ukraine defies all logic and common sense, and it must stop. If someone invades your home, murders your family, kidnaps your children, and burns down your house, no one should expect the homeowner to “get along” with the home invader and “make a deal.” There is only one “deal.” Good, honorable, and decent neighbors come to the aid of the homeowner, the home invader is removed, isolated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Not just to achieve justice in that individual instance, but also to send a clear message to all other would-be home invaders that they will never, ever be rewarded for their bad behavior. Not now. Not ever. This is basic Patriotic Common Sense. This is basic law enforcement. This is basic Peace Through Strength. There is no moral equivalency between good and evil. We need moral clarity, both at home and abroad, now more than ever. #PatrioticCommonSense 🇺🇸 #PeaceThroughStrength 🇺🇸

The silence of the world in the face of evil is louder than any bomb. But I refuse to be silent. As a man of faith and a Spiritual Diplomat, I stand with the people of Ukraine and speak truth to power. When tyranny goes unchallenged, it grows bolder. Right now, Vladimir Putin and his regime are launching brutal strikes on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure. They are targeting gas lines, power stations, and energy grids just as winter approaches. These are not military sites. These are homes, families, and children. And yet the world watches with barely a whisper. Let me be clear. We will fight in the spirit. We will fight with truth. We will fight with prayer and righteous boldness. Because light must always confront darkness. And I will continue using my voice. I will meet with global leaders, speak on international platforms, and call believers across the world to pray and act. Evil thrives in silence. But as long as I have breath, I will not be silent. We go where politics cannot go. We speak where others remain quiet. Because that is what Spiritual Diplomats do. #SpiritualDiplomat #StandWithUkraine #FaithInAction #AmericaFirst #Trump #JesusChrist #PrayForPeace #SlavaUkraine

russians are killing the best. Mykola Hetmanov, Ukrainian rugby league player for the national team, was killed near Kupyansk. He leaves behind a wife and young son. When russia invaded, he joined the AFU. He was only 35. 🕯 R.I.P. hero.

Lviv is on fire… Russia commits genocide and war crimes daily. It was loud in Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Rivne, Poltava, Kherson, Sumy, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Al Jazeera's documentary, “Gaza: The War on Hospitals,” overlooks a crucial detail: Hamas is fighting the war from *within* Gaza’s hospitals.🏥🚨

I am outraged to see that far too many people prefer to remain silent about the deaths of these poor children rather than admit to the following: - Israel is a diverse country with people of all colors calling it home. - Hezbollah has been attacking Israel and its inhabitants every day since October 8. - Without the Iron Dome, thousands of Israelis would be dead. - Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis have no intention of living in peace with us and will continue to try to kill us by any means possible. Shame on you for preferring to ignore the deaths of these 12 innocent children rather than admitting, just once, that Israel is not the aggressor.
