Tonight, 4 russian tanks “invaded”the EU&NATO.
But thanks to #UAarmy there is a nuance.
On Feb 24, citizens of 4 countries - Germany, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - will simultaneously see that russian tanks can get to Europe through Ukraine only as museum exhibits or trophies
552
For years, russians have been writing «to Berlin» on their cars & tanks. On this grim anniversary, a destroyed russian tank is displayed in front of their Embassy in Berlin - a symbol of their failure.
Thanks to the 🇩🇪 people & to my colleague Boris Pistorius for supporting 🇺🇦!

russian tanks, which have been destroyed by 🇺🇦 soldiers, are being exhibited in Riga, Tallinn, and Vilnius. It's a symbol: more destroyed 🇷🇺 tanks - less threats to Europe.
I thank my colleagues @IMurniece @HPevkur @a_anusauskas for their sincere support and effective cooperation

Watched «Slava Ukraini» by a great philosopher and a friend of Ukraine @BHL for the second time. This time at the premiere in Kyiv. Still deeply impressed. The world needs to know the truth about the russian aggression. Thank you for telling it, my friend!

They wanted to freeze us and throw us into darkness. We survived!

Life, light, love defeat death.
Ukraine will win.
