Looking back on my time in Frankfurt this past April. I love getting to share my musical journey with my daughter. Thank you Frankfurt for such a welcoming week, and thank you Frankfurt Radio Symphony for such a beautiful concert!

Because Russia decided that Ukrainians have no right to live. They think that Ukrainians have to be reeducated as Russians or killed.

Russia:

- Invades a country at the heart of Europe, completely demolishing its cities and killing its civilian population
- Assassinates people in European countries with painful nerve agents and radioactive substances
- Sabotages European weapons factories
- Runs a…

Eyes on Georgia, everybody. The police violence is unbearable and absolutely not in line with an EU candidate country!!!

Watching Tblisi, it's clear that yet again, and as we saw in Ukraine, Russians think they can treat a free people like they treat Russians.

ONLY Russians allow this kind of abuse, no one else.

This is the end of Russian occupied Georgian government

Russian terror is only possible because we have fewer weapons and decisions to protect life than Russia has means to destroy it.

Everyone knows how effective Patriot, IRIS-T, NASAMS, Hawk, and other modern air defense systems are. We need them here in Ukraine: in Kharkiv,…

So this is the second incident of Ukrainians getting killed by Russians in Germany in the past couple of months.

Again: Russia citizens in Europe are murdering Ukrainian refugees.

This is a failure of Europe’s visa policy regarding the Russian citizens.

Visa ban, now.

Näitä tarvitaan, koska Venäjä maalittaa tarkoituksella pelastajia. Noin 97% Venäjän ampumista pitkän kantaman ohjuksista on ammuttu siviilikohteisiin. Venäjä tekee sotarikoksia teollisessa mittakaavassa. Taitaa olla Venäjän talouden ainoita kasvualueita.

In Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz Scholz’s myopic mind, standing by a wrong decision in defiance of his own ministers, MPs, & intl allies is “leadership.”
In reality, he shows he’s just as weak & out of his depth as ever: a small man in big times whose ego can’t bear to backtrack on his mistake.

Q: What would a defeated Russia look like?

Professor Timothy Snyder answers.

Kharkiv TV tower right now.

Russia is ruining the city and stays barely punished!

Thank you for the music, kindness and especially remembering with admiration for your work with dear BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus .

RIP Sir Andrew Davies.

A bittersweet moment, since so many Ukrainian lives have been lost due to Johnson’s/Trump’s inexcusable delay.

The House overcame the MAGA maniacs and passed the #Ukraine aid bill 💪🇺🇦
Now it’s Europe’s turn.
-Deliver the #Patriots
-Foot the bill for the 800k rounds Czech ammo initiative
-Make Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz Scholz swallow his tragically unwarranted ego and send #TaurusForUkraine

And most importantly: stop restricting how Ukraine can fight with the weapons ! They need to be able to cut off Russian supply lines and logistics far behind the frontlines.

A Ukrainian soldier texts from Donbas:

- The whole unit was watching. After the vote, one could hear all over the trench: “YESSS!”

Thank you!
