By doing so, he sins against Christianity. There was no justification for the Russian invasion of #Ukraine. Putin is responsible for the most terrible crimes, crimes against innocent men, women and children. 2/6

Brussels is full of ideology, criticises #Hungary for having elected #Orban, applauds France voting for Macron, and doesn't respect democracy, e.g. in Italy.” 6/6
