Ukraine is a harbinger, as @warinthefuture.bsky.social so rightly outlines
In 2025, the West must not rush to force #Ukraine into an unjust peace with a brutal regime that began an unnecessary war, fought it poorly, used its military to rape, loot, torture and murder its way across a neighbour, and is unlikely to abide by any ceasefire agreement. 1/7 🧵
The last day of the year… Thank you all for believing in what is honestly right in good faith.
In today’s world, it’s a huge deal.
Thank you, dear friends🇺🇦.
