There are rare moments in history when the divide between good and evil is crystal clear, with no space for fence-sitters. Individuals, companies, countries, don't be on the wrong side of history, right now. You will not be forgiven later. #SlavaUkraini! — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, Putin signed this statement, "We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." Other signatories, especially Xi, should be checking in with him to make sure he hasn't changed his mind. https://t.co/DFs2V4eZ1j via @whitehouse — PolitiTweet.org
