This Greek Stele is for me poetry in Stone. A deep humanity, a simple realism and a graphic simplicity. Demokleides, a Greek hoplite who was killed in the naval battle in 394 BCE. He sitting on the prow of a trireme in a pensive position, with his shield and Corinthian helmet behind #AncientBlueSky

🇫🇮 Stubb: I don't agree with the narrative that claims Russia is winning militarily.
Over the past 1,000 days, Russia has advanced by 1% of Ukrainian territory. The cost of that advance has been 1,000 dead soldiers per day — about 30,000 per month. These figures refer to the dead, not the wounded.

In fact, I believe the Ukrainian Army is already part of European security — de facto.
Europe must recognize this reality. We must be united. A united Europe must stand together and be strong, because strength is the only language Putin’s new empire understands.
