Ukrainian children forcibly deported to russia:
Lvova-Belova, russian 'Commissioner for Children’s Rights' (wanted by the ICC) boasts over 700,000 Ukrainian children have been “relocated”.
Ukraine estimates the number to be between 200,000—300,000

In her 25 Feb report for @oscepa@carinaodebrink records that numbers of deported children aged from a few months to 17 years old are impossible to ascertain because russia refuses to provide records. Ukraine estimates 200-300,000, while Russia brags of over 700,000 'relocations'
June 6 marks three years since Russian forces blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant and its adjacent dam in Kherson Oblast, triggering one of the most severe humanitarian and environmental disasters in the region’s history.

🕯️ June 6 - the day that forever changed southern #Ukraine
Three years ago,#ruZZians blew up the #Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, causing one of the largest man-made disasters in modern European history. A massive wave flooded dozens of towns and villages,
Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russians destroyed the Kakhovka Dam — one of the worst ecological disasters of the century.
Hundreds of villages flooded, dozens of lives lost, ecosystems wiped out for generations.
Not an accident — state terror.
We remember.
Three years ago, on 6 June 2023, Russia destroyed the Kakhovka dam in the Kherson region of Ukraine. This terrorist act caused the loss of 14 billion cubic meters of freshwater, resulting in severe consequences – from human casualties and climate change to agricultural and industrial losses.
The massive flood covered at least 600 square kilometres of land, with about 80 settlements going underwater. At least 32 people were killed – yet, the exact figure cannot be estimated because of Russia's temporary occupation of Ukrainian territories.
In the south of Ukraine, the catastrophe caused a water crisis, leaving 1.6 million people without access to water. The agricultural sector was also seriously affected. According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, a total of 31 irrigation systems were destroyed, putting food security at risk. As a result, in the summer of 2025 alone, farmers in the Kherson region lost thousands of hectares of crops.
❗️ The overall damage from the Kakhovka dam blow-up amount to about 14 billion dollars, according to Ukraine's Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources. Ukraine will need a long time to recover from the war crime Russia committed on purpose. With no right to forget, the world must restore justice, holding the aggressor state accountable.
No, you’re not sending “more money to Ukraine,” and you never have.
You used to send American money to American arms manufacturers so that American workers and engineers could have more contracts, jobs, salaries, and tax revenue while producing American weapons in America for Ukraine or replacing old equipment from U.S. stockpiles.
That allowed the Ukrainian military to keep saving their country, while your top-tier geopolitical enemy, a KGB dictatorship obsessed with hatred toward you, could be defeated in its war of aggression in Europe and critically weakened for decades to come -- without a single American soldier firing a single shot.
But then you decided to start pretending that night is day.
russia is intensifying chemical attacks on Ukrainian positions this summer.
Hot weather and dry conditions can increase the effectiveness and dispersion of chemical agents, which may partly contribute to their increased use.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, more than 13,500 cases of toxic chemical agents being used against Ukrainian troops have been recorded.
In May 2025 alone, there were 894 incidents.
russians drop K-51 and RG-Vo gas grenades, as well as CS/CN-filled containers, from drones to force Ukrainian soldiers out of cover.
This is a clear violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention — yet the world remains largely silent.
russia doesn’t just use banned weapons. It uses them because it believes it can get away with it.
#ruZZia deliberately struck an ambulance in #Kherson
Not a military target.
Not a weapons depot.
An ambulance.
Every day #ruZZia proves again that its war is against civilians first 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
#KhersonHumanSafari
Russian strike on an ambulance in Kherson today.
Russia is systematically tearing Kherson apart, committing one war crime after another. The city is in a desperate, critical situation‼️‼️
☢️ 13,500.
That is the number of times Russia has used chemical agents against Ukrainian defenders since the full-scale invasion began.
In May 2026 alone: 237 recorded incidents.
Primary delivery method: drops from UAVs directly onto Ukrainian defensive positions.
Most commonly used agents: K-51 and RG-Vo gas grenades, CS and CN chemical compounds — riot control agents banned under international humanitarian law when deployed as a method of warfare.
At 237 incidents in a single month, this is doctrine — a systematic, scaled, deliberate programme of chemical warfare against a conventional military force.
The Chemical Weapons Convention exists precisely because the world decided, after two world wars, that some weapons are beyond the threshold of acceptable violence. Russia signed it. Russia is violating it. Daily.
Every incident is logged. Every case is evidence.
The question for the international community is not whether this is happening. The data answers that.
The question is what the response to 13,500 confirmed violations looks like.

Meet MAUL — an evacuation platform, developed by the First Separate Medical Battalion specialists — designed to reach the wounded where medics can’t.
Let’s ensure there are more of them:

A ceasefire in Ukraine that is poorly defined could provide Russia with an opportunity to rearm, while enabling the Kremlin to continue exerting pressure on Ukraine. https://t.co/SebMSYGFXe
Rather than reporting more russian led & influenced agendas, some time spent covering the thousands of Ukrainian civilians targeted weekly in russian attacks would be more effective; @BBCNews again conveniently forgetting that Ukraine was invaded by russia

💔 Kherson is bleeding every single day under russian attacks.
People are being killed in their homes — in places that should be safe.
The world must not stay silent. Share what is happening there.
The most heartbreaking part of all this are the words spoken by an 85-year-old man during the evacuation: 'Shoot me right here.' The words and desires of an old, exhausted man who could have just spent his old age and the rest of his life in his own home, his native and beloved place. He could have, if not for the russians. Instead, he is being wheeled in a garden cart... through the streets of his hometown, looking at an empty city, and all he asks is to be shot, right there in his hometown. This is simply heartbreaking 💔
...What the hell is going on here? you might think. Evacuations take place every day across various Ukrainian cities. In some areas, the sheer number of russian drones makes it impossible to enter by car to rescue civilians. Yes… everything close at hand is used to help move people with limited mobility. In this case, a regular garden wheelbarrow, carrying an 85-year-old man, turned out to be incredibly useful.
Leaving their vehicles in relatively safe spots, the legendary "White Angels" evacuation units of the National Police of Ukraine head out on foot to reach the people. The streets of Druzhkivka are deserted, with the number of destroyed buildings growing by the day. russian drones buzz overhead constantly, forcing the teams to act with extreme speed and caution. You rarely see this kind of thing on TV in your country, and it certainly won’t make the front pages of the newspapers.
Devastating footage of rain of burning phosphorus falling over Kostiantynivka.
Russians are scorching the earth, wiping out every living thing in the Donetsk region.
Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
