OTD in 1945 the Battle of Seelow Heights began. The Red Army, getting 30% of its supplies thru US lend lease, crossed into the invader's territory for the first time. A "dangerous escalation" of the war.

OTD 76 years ago 90 thousand Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians, including toddlers, were deported to cold and misery of Siberia. Many did not return. That was 5 years after the end of WW2. This is what 🇷🇺 “peace” means under 🇷🇺 occupation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

To strengthen Ukraine's position Estonia is sending 10,000 artillery shells and 750,000 food packages for Ukrainian fighters. At the earliest opportunity, this will be supplemented with our own defence industry products worth over 100 million euros. It is #UpToUkraine to decide its future.

OTD in 2022 "Examples of large-scale disinformation campaign by the Western media, hyping the claim that Russia is planning to invade Ukraine" were debunked by my parody in Sweden. And then we never invaded & all you imperialists were proved wrong. So you can believe us now about negotiating.
