Mooi in @trouw.nl & @parool.nl: Michiel @3bergen.bsky.social in #IvanoShychyne. Dank voor al je rapportages #StandwithUkraine 🇺🇦:
In @trouw.nl: de bewoners van het Oekraïense grensdorp Ivano-Shyichyne verschillen niet van de Russen aan de andere kant, zeggen ze. Toch is vrede onvoorstelbaar. ‘Ze moeten ons eerst vragen of we hen willen vergeven.’

For shame. Unworthy of the President of the US. We must #StandwithUkraine🇺🇦.
Q: Yesterday you said Putin agreed to pause during the cold weather. Overnight those attacks started up again--

TRUMP: It was Sunday to Sunday. He him them hard last night. He kept his word on that.

In #Dnipropetrovsk near #Dnipro 13 mine workers were killed on their way home by a Russian strike. We must #standwithUkraine 🇺🇦:
Je kan iets aan de gezondheidszorg doen op je eigen platteland, of zorgen dat de mensen daar lekker op gas kunnen stoken in plaats van brandhout te moeten hakken. Of zorgen dat ze aangesloten worden op de riolering. In plaats daarvan bombardeer je bij de buren dertien mijnwerkers naar God.

.#Kherson #StandwithUkraine 🇺🇦
Het grootste gevaar in #Kherson is de extreme ijzel. Een stap zetten is onmogelijk; rijden is schaatsenrijden. En dat alles zonder straatverlichting.

.#Odesa last night #StandwithUkraine 🇺🇦
Two people killed, 35 more injured by the Russian strike on Odesa last night.

Russia kills #Ukrainian civilians every single day.

After Davos
Trump chickened out. Now Europe needs to press its advantage.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

🇺🇦🎥 Kyiv residents react to lights being turned on in -11°C. Some homes have been without power for over a day

3,300 high-rise buildings in Kyiv are still without heat after the enemy attacked the capital. In the morning, almost 6,000 homes in Kyiv were again without heat.

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social & #NATO SecGen Mark Rutte starred at #WEF, but also #Belgium’s PM @deweverbart.bsky.social stood out: “If you back down now, you are going to lose your dignity & that is probably the most valuable thing you can have in a democracy.” 🇧🇪🇪🇺:

This bridge in #Amsterdam commemorates Timo Smeehuijzen, who was killed serving alongside US & allied troops in #Afghanistan in 2007, 20 years young. Timo was 1 of 25 Dutch soldiers killed in that war. Donald Trump’s recent comments on the sacrifices made by #NATO allies are despicable.
