Hello again and a very warm welcome to Day 1155 of a war in Europe, started unilaterally by one evil nation.

Are we nearing the end, or will peace talks, with more meetings today, break down again?

Russia refused a deal stop airstrikes and keep killing civilians.
Let's begin:

The EU should enforce real sanctions on Russia. One example: Any person, company or state that does business with Russia will be banned from doing any business with the EU or EU companies. Another: EU should close all waterways it can close leading to Russia.

This kitty is now reunited with its ❤️‍🩹

"In his house at Brussels, dead Eurocrat waits dreaming."

Take a stack of forms, sigh deeply, loudly proclaim "I'm just going skip the paperwork this time, it's not like it's actually NEEDED" & watch them start popping out of the woodwork.

But apart from sending you more forms to fill, they won't actually DO anything, so idk why you'd want to summon them.

50 years.

Still no justice, still no accountability, still no peace.

US stands alone

The best way to start Sunday is by supporting Ukraine and having a good cup of coffee ☕️✊️☀️

Україна заявила про загибель пілота F-16 Павла Іванова - BBC News Україна Детальні обставини трагедії досі невідомі, але це вже друга підтверджена втрата американського винищувача в Україні

🇺🇦 26-year-old Ukrainian pilot Captain Pavlo Ivanov has died while performing a combat mission. His F-16 was reportedly hit by one of three Russian missiles—either a guided surface-to-air missile from an S-400 system or an air-to-air R-37 missile.

26-year-old Ukrainian F-16 pilot Pavlo Ivanov was killed today during a combat mission, the Air Force reports. All circumstances of the tragedy are being investigated.

Never forgotten... 😢

IDK if some/any of the criticism towards Harry&Meghan is warranted or if it's UK's yellow press turning them into a constant source of headlines, but I know that he didn't have to visit Ukraine, he didn't have to take that cake home, and they didn't have to share the video.

Kudos to them for that.

While visiting Ukraine, prince harry was gifted traditional Ukrainian Easter bread and took it home for his kids I’m gonna cry

Peace can be achieved just as soon as Ukraine can't defend itself from our next invasion.

Fighting for survival for 1145 days.
That's been the ONLY thing on Ukrainians' minds and remains so in this 4th year of Russia's war.

It's the 13th day if April, let's hope it's unlucky for invaders.

Welcome to Sunday's daily thread with all the verified news, all the time, EVERY day.

I had such high hopes for Kara-Murza. He's almost at the cusp of realizing that RUS is an imperialist entity to the core, he himself is unwittingly an imperialist & that imperialism is not a tenable position in any form

But every time he's close, he backtracks. I guess the truth is too painful
Sigh

We already have the OG scandal couple (the Macrons), so there's no need to subject poor Justin to Melania.

(Some RUS trolls tried to attack Macron by implying that Mrs Macron was trans, to which the general reaction was "if she were, we'd KNOW by now & it'd be THE LEAST scandalous thing abt her")

Ei kun Kuuska-Jaska-Ri. 😆

... paino on aina sanojen ekalla tavulla (KuusKajasKari).

Ymmärrettävää sinänsä, suomessa toinen tavu on yleensä painoton, joten kaksi painotettua tavua peräkkäin ("Kuus"+"Ka") ei tunnu luontevalta, ellei hahmota miten sanarajat menevät.

Jos nimi olisi Kuu-si-Ka-jas-Kari, ongelmaa ei olisi. :)

Olin yli 40 vee ennen kuin yhtäkkiä tajusin että Kuuskajaskari on "KuusKajasKari" eikä "KuuskaJaskaRi".

Puolustuksekseni on sanottava että suurin osa ihmisistä painottaa ko nimen väärin. Sanapaino on kyllä suomessa parittomilla tavuilla (viimeinen tavu on aina painoton), mutta yhdyssanoissa...
