China State Media Demonizes its Netizens' #StandWithUkraine Effort
Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, Chinese-language comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made by #LittlePink and opinion leaders on various social media platforms in China. Other Chinese-speaking netizens, who were appalled at these comments and behaviors, began translating them into other languages and posting them online for the world to see.
Calling themselves "The Great Translation Movement", the volunteer translators soon caught the attention of international media - as well as China's own propaganda machine.
Global Times, a tabloid owned by the Chinese Communist Party, condemned these volunteer translation efforts for painting China in a negative light. In a Weibo post on March 17, 2022, The Party mouthpiece called the translations an "evil force", inciting Anti-China hate on the Internet and endangering China as a whole. It also accused the participants to be supported by "foreign, anti-China forces", suggesting that they lacked "normal morals" and could not bear to see China's successful development - and its "temporary problems".

China-Russian hails ties and scorns international sanctions against Moscow's invasion in Ukraine calling them "illegal" and "counter-productive"
At a time when Russia is being condemned by the international community for its all-out invasion in Ukraine, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on March 30, 2022 that the desire of China and Russia to develop bilateral relations has become even "stronger" so has the confidence to promote cooperation in various directions.
#WangYi and his Russian counterpart #SergeiLavrov emerged from their meetings with a show of unity, appearing to reaffirm their countries' friendship and criticising economic sanctions imposed by the West against Moscow for invading Ukraine as "illegal" and "counter-productive."
"China-Russia relations have withstood the new test of changing international landscape," Wang said after the meeting. "China is ready to work with Russia to take China-Russia relations to a higher level in the new era."
China has refused to condemn Russia's invasion outright, and it abstained from voting on United Nations resolutions demanding Moscow immediately stop its attack on Ukraine.
Instead, Beijing has accused the United States of intensifying tensions, while highlighting Moscow’s “legitimate security concerns” regarding the eastward expansion of #Nato.

Ukraine Stamp Design Commemorate ‘Russian Warship, Go F*ck Yourself’ Moment
This latest design, showing a soldier giving the middle finger to a Russian warship, was approved by #Ukrposhta, the Ukrainian post office and titled “Russian Warship, Go Fuck Yourself.”
The artwork for this stamp was created by Borys Groh to commemorate a Ukrainian soldier’s profane refusal to acquiesce to a Russian warship’s demand to lay down weapons.
Ukrposhta said that the new stamp is set to encourage Ukrainians to send it to their “friends abroad or send a fiery “hello” to the Russians.”

"We Stand with You": Train in Ukrainian Colors Running in Western Japan
A railway operator in the western Japanese city of Takamatsu repainted one of their trains in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, in solidarity with the war-torn country. The train began service in its new colors on April 19, 2022.
Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad Co., the company operating the train, said on Twitter that they wanted to recognize the staff of Ukrainian railways who continued operating trains to transport civilians to safety, some of them tragically losing their lives amid the ongoing conflict.
The two-car train wrapped in yellow and blue also bore messages saying "We stand with you," "To the Ukrainian railway operators working to protect people's lives-" and "We wish for world peace" on both sides.

"Warmongering, lies and hatred": Russian diplomat in Geneva resigns over Ukraine invasion
A veteran Russian diplomat in Geneva has resigned over his country’s invasion of Ukraine in a rare political protest from within the Russian foreign policy establishment.
#BorisBondarev, a counsellor at the Russian permanent mission to the United Nations in Geneva, wrote in a public statement: “Never have I been so ashamed of my country.”
“Today the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy,” wrote the diplomat, a 20-year veteran of the Russian foreign ministry. “It is all about warmongering, lies and hatred. It serves interests of few, the very few people thus contributing to further isolation and degradation of my country. Russia no longer has allies, and there is no one to blame but its reckless and ill-conceived policy.”
Bondarev is the highest-level diplomat yet to resign publicly from the Russian foreign ministry over the Ukrain war, which began in February 2022.
