Big Day In Kyiv Tomorrow, I Think

Did he take the day off for his birthday and get some gaming time in?

What a nerd.

Oh now even NYT is joining in.

Zelensky and Macron are not just allies, but close friends, - NYT

The presidents of Ukraine and France no longer even use official diplomatic channels, but simply call each other on the phone - on secure lines, WhatsApp and Signal.

In one interview, Zelensky called Macron "an expert on war."

Macron regularly receives detailed information from his General Staff and intelligence services about the progress of the war, and in conversations with Zelensky, he discusses the situation on the battlefield in detail, right down to the names of frontline towns and villages.

omg his *face*

Olaf is suddenly in Ukraine.

Ze, you have everyone's permission to slap him as hard and as much as you want. You don't even have to meet him. Spend some time with your family instead.

I stand by my theory that Ze *loves* bearhugs and that providing them is one of Andriys key roles in the office.

It's chérie time ❤️

Oh yeah, no objections

Yeah, I'm good with Harris

Ugh.

It might sound a bit tinfoil hat at the moment, but with the way the US are going and how they're pushing pretty hard for "adult content" bans for minors...that's going to affect Ao3 at some point.

So you know, if you have any favourite fics of the nsfw variety, now might be a good time to download them. Just to be on the safe side.

If you can, support Ukraine.

What is the best way to financially help Ukraine? Is it better to go through organizations or gofundmes or something else I'm not aware of?

Thanks for asking, nonnie. That's very kind of you. If you or anyone else has some spare change and wants to give, here are a few ideas:

United24 is the official fundraising platform established by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian governmental members and directs money to all areas of the country.

The Olena Zelenska Foundation is primarily focused on medical, humanitarian, and educational aid across the country and was founded by the First Lady.

Stand for Ukraine gives you a range of charity options, depending on whether you want to donate directly to the military, or you would prefer to fund non-lethal or humanitarian aid, etc.

Come Back Alive is the main fundraising platform for the Ukrainian military. You can choose to donate to air defense, heavy weapons, demining, medical aid, overall combat equipment, etc.

Donate to Ukraine's Defenders also offers various (carefully vetted) links and options to donate to rebuilding projects, private medical assistance programs, initiatives for democracy, and others.

In todays episode of presidents holding random things ...

Ok, that is objectively adorable. Eiffel tower in Ukrainian colours tonight.
