PERSONAL: 55years ago people of 🇨🇿🇸🇰 woke up with their dreams of freedom quashed by tanks sent by Moscow. #CzechoslovakSpring was another mark in track record of the Kremlin to try to destroy every nation & country that wants 2B free from its totalitarian imperialistic dictate.

Re The same happened also in East Germany,🇭🇺🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 and now 🇺🇦. Always the same twisted pretext: "brotherly help", "protection" or "defence of their security". The biggest threat for Moscow however are independent, sovereign & free, democratic nations.

Russia: 🇪🇺 strongly condemns decision by Moscow court to uphold 13-year prison sentence under fake charges for 🇺🇦 activist Maksym Butkevych. In reality, he was punished for his human rights activities. This is travesty of justice. He must be immediately released.
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Olga Tokariuk: My friend and ex colleague, human rights activist Maksym Butkevych was sentenced by a sham court in Russian-occupied Luhansk to 13 years. It's heartbreaking to see how thin he is, but it's encouraging to see him smile despite the horrors. He will be free #FreeMaksymButkevych
