Greetings from Kyiv. Today, on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over nazism, I keep hope that good prevails. Let’s not only follow the light, but be that light.

The line to the autograph session of Ukrainian author Ilarion Pavliuk at Book Arsenal in Kyiv. It kept going.

Some of the facade windows of the Ukrainian House in Kyiv were damaged during the latest attack. Just two days later, the doors reopened to visitors. The plywood boards covered the damage like a quiet sign of resilience. Today, I visited an exhibition about Chornobyl there.

My favourite view of Kyiv. From the bell tower of St Sophia Cathedral. Today.

Yes, this is Ukraine too. Where birds sing, nature celebrates spring, and a historic building catches the sunlight. I’m here to show you what is hidden behind the bars of war.

Kyiv is wearing vyshyvanka today. My gratitude to those who defend our culture and keep it alive.

Greetings from Kyiv. The line to Book Arsenal today, one of Ukraine’s most important literary festivals. Four days of books, discussions, Ukrainian culture, a live walk for my supporters, and probably a few books I did not plan to buy 😉

So, let’s meet live on Saturday in a place I’ve never been to before. The invitation has been sent to my supporters. If you are a supporter and didn’t receive the email, the walk begins at 7 pm Kyiv time: www.patreon.com/12616055/eve... Fingers crossed my trip happens 😉

Tonight in Kyiv. Traditional Ukrainian dances near the Landscape Alley. People joined in. I recorded a recap for my supporters, as promised: www.patreon.com/posts/157651...

In a popular courtyard in Kyiv. I saw this little figure. The Voices of Children Foundation and the 🇺🇦 band Hyphen Dash launched a charity initiative to draw attention to children affected by the war and raise funds for them. I’ll share a link to read more and support the initiative.

☕🌞 Bon matin, Stéphanie! J'ai hâte de voir le match, hehe! Ça fait plaisir pour le café, merci aussi d'avoir pris le temps de passer prendre un bon café! Je te souhaite une magnifique journée! 🍀🌼

Reporters Without Borders (@rsf.org) says global press freedom has fallen to its lowest level in 25 years. "We're seeing deterioration pretty much across the board, both in authoritarian countries and in democracies," says Clayton Weimers.

Every accusation is a confession! Senator John Kennedy on Cuba: "They are just incompetent. All they know how to do is oppress people. They take all their money and they give it to the military and the police and themselves, and to hell with the good people".

You shouldn’t be a parent…

Where we have led on calling for closer integration with Europe, others are following - including senior members of government. Our allies are more important than ever. Liberal Democrats will continue to make the case for closer relations with Europe to boost our economy, defence and security.

We can't rely on America, we need closer ties with the EU🚨 Stanford Professor Nick Bloom on The Rest is Money: "Trump is doing his own kind of maxi-Brexit in the US." "He's making it harder to trade, he's being anti-immigrant and he's creating a lot of uncertainty."

Isaiah Joe fakes out his coach by faking like he was going to leave the bench to get involved with the confrontation.

State Dept spox Tommy Pigott goes full cult of personality: "The United States has been consistent from the beginning. President Trump has been consistent. It is President Trump who has advanced the cause of peace with the Abraham Accords. It is President Trump who has strengthened our alliances."

So Tesco’s UK CEO blames minimum wage for joblessness? Try low wages! Youth inactivity happens when work doesn’t pay enough to live, not because hiring costs a few pounds more. Work doesn’t pay to live because the cost of living is too high. Greedflation. #r4today #BBCBreakfast

Every time I hear him speak, I expect him to sound like his fellow Dutch expat-turned-`murcian power-tripper, Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk (a.k.a. Colonel Tom Parker) or Johann van der Smut (Goldmember). I live in a B.C. town where "if you're not Dutch, you're not much" (many post-war settlers).

USA 🇺🇸 Donald Trump déclare que les Iraniens étaient prêts à lever le blocus du détroit d'Ormuz. Il met en avant que son administration y était favorable mais le locataire de la Maison Blanche a refusé car il ne voulait pas que Téhéran gagne 500 millions de dollars par jour.
