Apparently there was some confusion regarding how one orders the calendar with NEIVANMADE’s art. According to the tweet I posted last night, they’re available from Back and Alive, which is a charity supporting Ukrainian troops. Here’s the link to their website, but I can’t figure out how to order the calendars.
Before we get fully started, here’s the butcher’s bill for Dnipro:
Search and rescue operation in Dnipro has been completed:
– 39 people were rescued, including 6 children;
– 44 people died, including 5 children;
– 79 people were injured, including 16 children;
– 47 reported as missing (23 found dead, 4 found alive). pic.twitter.com/hUUmOiuB23— Defense of Ukraine (@DefenceU) January 17, 2023

A bit more from Politico Europe:
Russia would not have invaded Ukraine had it been a member of NATO, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said Tuesday, adding that was the primary motivation for her country’s application to join the military alliance.
Marin said she was “sure” that Vladimir Putin would not have launched the invasion had Kyiv already been a member. “We can look down the history and ask ourselves the question, should Ukraine already be a member of NATO?” she told the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, adding that “then there wouldn’t be a war in Ukraine and this is why also Finland, Sweden is ratifying a NATO membership.”
She added that in 2014 when Russia attacked Crimea, Europe and its allies should have acted more robustly. “We need to learn from this day,” Marin told the gathering of high-level politicians and business people in the Swiss Alps.
“We want to become a member of NATO because we don’t ever again want war in Finland,” she said, adding that she hoped the ratification process for Sweden and Finland would go “as fast as possible.”
Hungary and Turkey still need to ratify the joint NATO bid of Sweden and Finland.
While Budapest has said it would support the military bloc’s latest expansion and sign off on it early this year, Ankara has yet to follow suit.
“There shouldn’t be any problems and I have also personally talked with [Turkish] President [Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan and he said what he has said also in public, that there isn’t that big of issues with Finland, maybe some with Sweden, but for our perspective, it’s very important that Finland and Sweden are going to NATO together because we are sharing the same security,” Marin said.
