For this, please support Ukraine now.
Just yesterday, someone told me to speak less about the war. They said Germans are tired of it. But last night, russian drones flew over Munich airport.
So I ask you: do you think today it is acceptable to talk about the war?
Today I am in Munich at a demonstration in support of Ukraine. German politicians and cultural figures came to stand with us.

A russian strike hit the Kyiv Institute of Cardiology.
Sadly, the bodies of two people were found at the site.
Rescue operations in Kyiv have been completed.
Four people were killed, including a child.
27 more were injured.
Russian troops likely executed a civilian family in Donetsk region, and abducted a teenage girl.
Video evidence and intercepted calls published by Ukraineโs 3rd Army Corps suggest the parents were shot and the child taken to be used as a human shield.

- Why do Ukrainian women join the army?
Me:
- Because they want to protect the people they love.
- Then why donโt they escape to Germany with the people they love?
- Because they love too many people.
