In January 2003 Putin signed a treaty in Kyiv that defined the state border between Ukraine and Russia.
This treaty recognized the existing border between the two countries, with both Crimea and the Donbas included as part of Ukraine🇺🇦
It entered into force in April 2004.
Nevertheless, in 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and launched a war against Ukraine. Then, in 2022, it initiated a full-scale invasion.
Russia signed an agreement in which it recognized Ukraine’s borders...only to subsequently violate them.
That is precisely why Ukraine has every right to demand more than just another piece of paper: specifically, strong security guarantees and, naturally, the withdrawal of Russians from the parts of Ukraine they are illegally occupying.
What more is there to say?..🤷♀️

No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home.
Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

Henry Cavill says the extended editions of The Lord of the Rings are his comfort films. A familiar feeling for those of us who put on The Fellowship of the Ring and end up watching the entire trilogy. 😂
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Cavill explained that the trilogy is his go-to viewing for a cosy evening with friends or simply relaxing over Christmas.
He also praised how believable Middle-earth felt on screen and how the films helped deepen his appreciation for the fantasy genre.
Which of the three do you revisit the most?

As the great people of Oleshky arrived to Ukraine after a long trip @WCKitchen lead by Yuliya is ready with borscht, and many other Ukranian dishes!
The route was long: from Oleshky through Crimea to Anapa in Russia, then a flight to Belarus and onward by road into Chernihiv region. After a journey like that, warm, good food matters a great deal. #ChefsForUkraine
