It is THE DAY!🇺🇦The first shipment of help to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is on its way to the destination. Receivers – the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, operating in Eastern Ukraine. Thank you for the support! Without our subscribers, this would be impossible! #stopify #spreadtheword

I don’t care much about ⚽️ but this is powerful #Iran #resistance
Something is breaking, changing very fast
Just as we spend 💳 on takeaway ☕️ and 📺, here's a better idea: subscribe to a monthly donation to Armed Forces of #Ukraine 🇺🇦 and help end this horrible war @stopify_org_ua #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini stopify.org.ua/

Notikumi saasinās uz Serbijas Kosovas robežas. Skarbi paziņojumi, kas atgādina nesenu runu no cita līdera uzsākot karu. Bet vai tiešām Serbija būtu gatava atteikties no dāsnā ES atbalsta? Šaubos.

No sirds novērtēju Latvijas ārlietu dienesta darbu, īpaši šobrīd. Man savulaik bija tas gods būt daļai no @arlietas, mēs tik tiešām varam būt pateicīgi par tik zinošiem, atbildīgiem, un sirsnīgiem profesionāļiem. Paldies jums!🙏🇱🇻
Latvijas ārlietu dienests šodien atzīmē 103.dzimšanas dienu! Paldies @arlietas kolēģiem par pašaizliedzīgo un profesionālo darbu mūsu valsts labā šajā ļoti sarežģītajā laikā! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

Only day after the agreement on the grain export from Ukraine was signed by #Türkiye #Ukraine and #Russia, Russian missiles struck #Odesa port, I strongly condemn this reprehensible act by Russia, it also proves that no-one can trust the Kremlin

Russian army has committed another brutal war crime today by targeting the shopping center in #Kremenchuk and killing so many innocent people. Deepest condolences to all of those who lost their loved ones today. #StandWithUkraine️

103 years ago Latvians and Estonians defeated Landeswehr in #Cesis battle, securing independence of our nations. If you have great allies you are invincible. #Latvia marks Heroes Day today, #Estonia celebrates Victory Day tomorrow. Congratulations to our Estonian friends 🇱🇻🇪🇪

Spoke to @ZelenskyyUa before #EUCO. A historic moment is ahead of us - EU leaders must grant #Ukraine EU candidate country status. Also discussed the situation on the ground. Estonia will support Ukraine as long as it takes so the aggressor is pushed back and Ukraine wins.

Our @nytvideo team went to Estonia to interview a dozen Ukrainian refugees who survived the siege of Mariupol & were then forced to resettle in Russia. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been forcibly removed & pressured to take Russian citizenship. nytimes.com/video/world/euro…

So glad my country is now led by this bold, smart and outspoken woman. Estonia today has picked up and taken the baton, speaking of values, rule of law and liberty when others speak of gas prices and argue for appeasement of aggression. washingtonpost.com/world/202…
