Russian empire will fall.
Well, they are not european, but I certainly like Georgians more than Turks, and they are also an EU candidate. So, I don't see why we shouldn't. They could need a bit of extra support, especially with Russia & Azerbaijan as neighbors.
Foriegn agents..
Cuban mothers aren't asking for justice or visas… they're only asking for a little electricity to heat water for washing their children, for cooking… They're asking for medicine to arrive in pharmacies… they're asking for hospitals to have a little light to treat their daughters. They're asking that their husbands not have to walk 15 km to get to work.
Solidarity with these brave mothers 💪🏼✝️⚛️🇪🇺🫶🏼 Be blessed and know that You are loved.
