“April 24th will for Theater of the Absurd lovers what Christmas is to young children. Tomorrow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei #Lavrov will chair and address United Nations Security Council to paint a new vision of "effective multilateralism through the defense of the principles of the U.N. Charter." While he will be spreading #Putin's propaganda in the U.N. body tasked with maintaining world peace, #Ukraine will be defending itself against Russia's heinous aggression.” 👉 Read @colombecs and @andrea.venzon plea for action ahead of tomorrow’s #UNSecurityCouncil meeting on our website, and join our request for a boycott: www.atlasmovement.org/unboycottrussia #UNBoycottRussia #StandWithUkraine

After welcoming the Russian Foreign Minister in Brazil🇧🇷, President #Lula said, "the United States needs to stop encouraging war and start talking about peace". It's astonishing how people struggle to identify who's the real aggressor during an invasion where the Russian army almost conquered #Kyiv and assassinated thousands of Ukrainians on their soil. Would Lula enjoy such a neutral stance from the rest of the world if a foreign power had its tanks around Brasilia? Probably not. We call on Brazil, a member of the #UNSecurityCouncil, to side with the aggressed, condemn Russia, and boycott the country at the United Nations 🇺🇳. It's the minimum not to become a collaborator of an evil regime. #UNBoycottRussia 👉 JOIN OUR EMAIL CAMPAIGN 📧

My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Shohei Okada, journalist Hiroshima General Bureau Asahi Shimbun newspaper for his excellent article. It is not a professional translation into English, but he kindly sent it to me. I believe we will surely meet! The remains of the school destroyed by the Russian attack. Walls and roofs crumbling, scattering blocks. Curtains with holes flutter in the wind. In front of them a young Ukrainian plays the violin. Ryuichi Sakamoto, who passed away in March, plays a song filled with anger and sorrow at the Russian invasion. The young man mourns Sakamoto's death and hopes that the war will end. "Sakamoto-san was very aware of what was going on here in Ukraine, and he gave me and the Ukrainian people the greatest gifts a musician can give," said Kyiv musician Ilya Bondarenko, 21, in an online interview on 5 April. Bondarenko and Sakamoto collaborated last year on a song called "Piece for Illia". He filmed the clip on the ruins of a destroyed school to convey the seriousness of the invasion. On the sad news, Sakamoto said: "I feel like the father of music is gone." Bondarenko is active as a violinist and composer. Five years ago he met people from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and played a violin brought back from Hiroshima after the A-bombing. In March last year, after the invasion began, he released a video of himself performing with more than 90 violinists from nearly 30 countries, calling for donations for humanitarian aid. Sakamoto learned about Bondarenko through US media news of the initiative. In a written interview with the Asahi Shimbun newspaper last summer, he said: "I felt the beauty of the sound of his violin on TV." An American musician offered to collaborate with Bondarenko, and he replied: "By all means. An invitation from Sakamoto, "a legend" to Bondarenko, came as a surprise. When Sakamoto asked for advice on a composition, he readily agreed. Sakamoto said of the song: "I expressed my anger and sadness about the unreasonableness of this war, as well as my thoughts on Ukraine. Some quoted the Ukrainian national anthem. More than a year after the invasion, hostilities continue. #ryuichisakamoto ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I got to make a short speech and presentation about Ukraine at a small after-school event in Osaka. So let me share the incredibly fulfilling experience I had last month thanks to @yumenoki2011 & @swujapan. A week before my trip to Kansai, the owner of my upcoming airbnb in Osaka invited me to come to the public school she volunteers at and speak to the children about Ukraine and the war. Ayumi-san organizes afterschool activities for the children, helps them learn English, and sometimes invites foreign guests to tell a bit about their country and share their story. And it’s not some mandatory class—the kids and their parents know the topic and the guest’s profile in advance and decide if they want to attend. So at first we had some outdoors fun like jumping ropes, blowing bubbles, playing tag (7-10-year-olds are crazy fast, omg! 😅). And then went back to the classroom where I talked about our beautiful and peaceful country, how important Ukraine is for many-many other countries around the world, told about our amazing and resilient people, our unbreakable will and fight for freedom. And how every Ukrainian knows without a doubt that we will win and how the whole world is helping. Trying to do it in a manner that 7-10y/o kids can comprehend (and trying to do it in simple English, with Ayumi-san helping with translation). The children showed true interest and later asked questions (including “how can we help?” 💔) I showed some photos of destroyed buildings, people living in shelters and at metro stations (with their pets as well), crowds of people trying to evacuate, and people saving animals. And I showed them “Stefania” by Kalush Orchestra, telling about the brave Ukrainian women and explaining in advance that none of this is a movie or CG, but all filmed in the liberated Ukrainian cities. You could tell the children were affected and touched (and Ayumi-san was crying 😢). The kids had little “cheat-sheets” with some phrases and questions in both English and Japanese, so afterwards they came up to me and were saying, reading from the sheet, “It is sad”, “It is horrible”, “It is unfair”. The purest souls, oh my god… I honestly wanted to cry. CONTINUING➡️

Ryuichi Sakamoto, «The Last Emperor“ of Motion Picture Music, passed away. Sakamoto got named so after his famous collaboration with Bernardo Bertolucci for his soundtrack, which won the Oscar for the composer. Ryuichi san is a Japanese planet in world music. An entire era is gone with him, an era of music that is subtle, transparent, and at the same time filled with deep philosophical meaning. I am delighted that I have had the privilege of working with this great master! We had plans to work together in the future... but alas. Dear Ryuichi san, you and your music will always be in my heart. Your gift, «A Piece for Illia,» is priceless to me. You are a tuning fork for me today in many ways. Despite all the complicated circumstances, you have fought and you have created your art - a pure essence of life, until the very end. Ryuichi Sakamoto, you are a true samurai for me, a warrior of light. I bend my knee.🙏❤️ @skmtgram miasakamoto.17 @nhk_symphony_orchestra_tokyo #ryuichisakamoto #ryuichi #illiaviolin #japanmusic #japancomposer #musiccomposer #composer #violin

Dear Japanese 🇯🇵! I’m proud of us! Japanese leadership is supporting Ukraine the strongest among Asian countries. We also, thank you for a lot of donations and for adopting evacuees. When the war of Russia against Ukraine started in 2014, Japan was the only Asian country to have imposed sanctions on Russia. We will never forget this. Please continue your support🇺🇦 #ukrainethanksyou #standwithukraine #ukraine #slavaukraini

When reading about history, you know that feeling of "how could they let THAT happen???" Well, I tell you, we are about to create one of those moments on our own… On April 1st, #Russia will assume the Presidency of the Security Council, the most powerful body of the #UnitedNations. This is an affront to justice and to the 18 million people severely affected by #Putin's evil invasion of Ukraine. We must act. Join @atlas.movement in calling on countries to boycott the body & paralyze Russia's month-long presidency. How? If 7 out of 15 Security Council member states join the boycott, Russia won't be able to get anything passed. We don't have to be bystanders. We can make wrongs right. Join #UNBoycottRussia, link in bio & stories. #standwithukraine🇺🇦

🇯🇵 Japan’s Fumio Kishida met 🇺🇦 President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv this past week during a rare, unannounced visit by a Japanese leader that underscored Tokyo’s emphatic support for Ukraine in its fight against 🇷🇺 Russia’s invasion. The Japanese prime minister had been the only leader of the Group of Seven (G7) rich nations yet to visit Ukraine, which has seen an outpouring of popular support in Japan following the Russian invasion. The visit by Kishida underscore deep divisions in northeast Asia toward the war in Ukraine, with Japan pledging substantial aid for Kyiv, while China remains a lone voice supporting an increasingly isolated Putin — now a global pariah and suspected war criminal. In the face of China’s growing assertiveness and global reach, Japan and the United States have moved closer in recent years, especially on regional security and intelligence cooperation. Japan is also a member of the Quad, the informal group focused on security that includes India, Australia and the United States. In a statement released Tuesday, Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Kishida’s visit to Ukraine was at Zelensky’s invitation. #zelensky #zelenskyy #zelenskiy #zelenskiy_official #diplomacy #digitaldiplomacy
