    Tulips in rubble. Thanks, i'll sketch it up, contextualize then go to canvas with it. Peace of mind. Please somewhere amidst this mess Putin has unleashed, may those left scarred and in pain find peace of mind. Glory to Ukraine.

    Brussels warns of the serious shortcomings of the European armies in the face of Russia's capacity for aggression. (El País newspaper -Spain). Germany, France and Spain, for example, have always played NATO's weakness and have protected and helped Putin. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦☝️☝️☝️
