Ukraine's Ambassador to the UN read out text messages between a Russian soldier and his mother moments before he was killed. He read them in Russian.
"Mama, I'm in Ukraine. There is a real war raging here. I'm afraid. We are bombing all of the cities...even targeting civilians."

I will be tributing my respect from the summit of #Amadablam on Remembrance Sunday, as I did last year. Since I left Millitary, this is now my civilian way of tributing my respect to our fallen heroes 🙌🏽🙏.
