Two years ago today...

Dimash: War and Peace (with English subtitles), Arnau concert, performed in Kyiv 11.03.2020. Dimash composed the melody as part of his Master's degree and collaborated with the Chinese poet Yao Qian to create the lyrics, to make sure they conveyed what he wanted to say.

I admire the expat who burned her passport and the channel which showed that criticism. Very brave.

Also wanted to say I love your icon.

Hope she can get dual nationality or something...

The funniest thing is that the host is very pro-Putin. The guests just went off script!

Thank you! I made it myself. *careless hairflick* I should probably mention that & say it's free to good homes!

I love that tanks are being towed by tractors!

It's lovely that there are bright spots amid all the darkness!

That really is a touching song, especially in times like these.

[elisi]

It really is. Although I wish it hadn't become even more relevant...

As ever there is just so much pain and sadness caused by such a few people

*nods* All this, because of one old man. :(

I admire the bravery of those who publicly call Putin out.

And the last one just makes me smile, even though it really is no laughing matter.

President Zelensky is a true leader and a real hero - and a bigger contrast to Putin is hard to imagine.

Same. The stakes are high, even for celebrities.

And the last one just makes me smile, even though it really is no laughing matter.
We need to smile! Humour is a great weapon, plus it's very humiliating for Putin!

This tweet sums it up in two pictures.
