On 1 January 2023, #Croatia became the 20th country to adopt the #euro, and the 27th country to join the #Schengen area! 🇭🇷💶

A historic start of the year for the people of Croatia and Europeans across the euro and Schengen areas. 🙌

"We are fighting and will continue to fight. For the sake of the main word: "victory". It will definitely come. We’ve been on its way for 315 days", - Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Throughout this war, Ukraine has demonstrated commitment, courage & creativity through the most awful of circumstances. It can eject Russia from its territory — but will do so faster and with reduced loss of life if the West ensures the right kind and quality of support is provided in 2023.

My analysis of the key variables that are likely to determine the course of the war in Ukraine in the coming year.

Actors are not unemployed in Russia. They get to play three basic roles, namely that of a soldier, a sailor and a devout Christian. #Russia #UkraineRussiaWar

Day 312 of my 3 day war. I will be remembered as great patron of Russian theatre who provided work for so many actors.

I remain a master strategist.

"This year can be called a year of losses for Ukraine, Europe, & the whole world. But that's wrong. We shouldn't say that.

We haven't lost anything.
It was taken from us.

#Ukraine did not lose its sons & daughters – they were taken away by murderers. Ukrainians did not lose their homes – they were destroyed by terrorists. We did not lose our lands – they were occupied by invaders.

The world did not lose peace
– #Russia destroyed it."

The Minister of Defence of Ukraine O.Reznikov wrote a letter to Santa:

“I hope we will receive more important gifts from you.. I am not asking this for myself, but for the sake of Ukrainian children, so next year they can celebrate Christmas & New Year in the way you intended."

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
