I’ve been doing a little stock take of my #CrossBorderRail work…

In the past 12 months I have investigated:
131 cross border railways in Europe
Travelled 62716km on 425 trains
Cycled 1662km in 62 different places
Travelled 2191km on 20 buses

And there's more to come!

We stand by Ukraine as long as it takes.

Russia will have to pay for the war crimes committed in Ukraine.

The destruction of the dam, an outrageous attack on civilian infrastructure, puts at risk thousands of people in the Kherson region.

Europe is mobilising support through our civil protection mechanism.

Of course friend, who's kinda conspiracy-theory/right-wing-media adjacent already, is using this as a "well, the CIA popularized the term to discredit activists" talking point now, even when presented with historical facts...
