Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian airstrike are ongoing in Sumy. The Russians used guided aerial bombs against ordinary people in the city center. There may still be people trapped under the rubble of an apartment building. Tragically, as of now, four people have been confirmed killed, including a child. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 27 people were injured, including six children. Many sustained severe injuries.
Throughout the day, Russia also struck Zaporizhzhia, where a drone attack killed two people and injured six others, including a child. Kharkiv was targeted by an enemy FPV drone, leaving people injured there as well. Communities across the Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Donetsk regions also came under attack.
It is essential that our partners pressure Russia so that this terror comes to an end. Those Russia will listen to are, without a doubt, the United States, other G7 and G20 countries, and Europe. We must remember that Europe has tools it can use to pressure this aggressor – above all, pressure its energy sector, its oil fleet, and its financial system. Those tools must be used. We must also take further steps to strengthen our defense, first and foremost our air defense. I am grateful to every leader who remains active and does not waste a single day.
«Заходьте, можете подивитися, тільки там лежить мій син Рома. Він мертвий, не дихає», - каже мені пані Тетяна з понівеченого будинку в Дарницькому районі Києва після сьогоднішньої атаки.
За ці роки я бачив багато горя. Але щоразу таке неможливо осягнути і сприйняти.
Я прийшов зробити фотографію вирви від ракети з вікна цієї квартири і не очікував побачити трагедію, глибшу за будь яку вирву.

Це - фізик і популяризатор науки Михайло Висоцький.
Ракета знищила його все.
Я вважаю, що йому треба допомогти хоча б чисто з меркантильних міркувань. Бо фізики і загалом науковці нам зараз — на вагу золота.
Тому нам дуже потрібно, щоб пан Михайло продовжив свою роботу.
І щоб всі інші в тому числі русаки бачили, що ми за науку боремось і відстоюємо її. Бо знання зокрема з фізики допомагають нам перемагати ворога.

In the United States, Charlie Kirk — a close ally of Trump and the leader of the conservative youth organization Turning Point — was shot.
Kirk supported Trump during the elections. He actively criticizes liberal ideas and speaks out against financial aid to Ukraine.
Kirk’s quotes about Ukraine:
▪️ Zelensky was illegally elected.
▪️ Why are we supporting a country that most people can’t even find on a map?
▪️ Eastern Ukraine is historically Russian territory.
▪️ Ukraine is shelling separatist territory.
▪️ There are U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
If you're outraged by the murder of one Ukrainian who fled the war, you should be just as outraged by the thousands killed at home. If you believe the criminal who stabbed Iryna Zarutska should be met with force, the same should apply to Putin, who orders mass killings every day.
BREAKING:
Huge fires break out after Russia launches the largest suicide drone attack against Kyiv so far in this war.
The drones targeted apartment building across the city. Many civilians killed and wounded in the terror attack.
Україна та росія домовилися про обмін «всіх на всіх» важкопоранених та тяжкохворих військовополонених. Також домовилися про обмін усіх молодих солдатів віком від 18 до 25 років.
Крім того, обміняють 6 тисяч загиблих українських військових на 6 тисяч загиблих російських бійців.
⚡️ The special operation "Web", as a result of which the SBU hit 41 Russian strategic aircraft, was prepared for more than a year and a half.
According to our sources, this operation was extremely complex from a logistical point of view. The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later - mobile wooden houses. Later, on the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of houses, which were already placed on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs of the houses were opened remotely, and the drones flew to hit the Russian bombers.
Sources in the SBU emphasize that the people who took part in this historic special operation have been in Ukraine for a long time. Therefore, if the Putin regime demonstratively detains someone, it will be another staging for the domestic audience.
The horrors of the nights and the last couple of days that have followed them here in Ukraine, and the world's reaction to them, makes me think of how pervasivly evil becomes banal and how this pervasive, banal evil eventually leads to a complicity of indifference. The effect of this on achieving peace and a just resolution of this major international armed conflict are devastating. Although apathy is often referred to as indifference, it appears that we are facing a particular type of indifference. It's one of choice rather than one due to a general lack of interest. Some say that indifference is worse than hate. «The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference» (Elie Wiesel). Indifference can be more painful than hate, as hate originates from your enemy, while indifference is a thing rather of friends, partners, nice crowd. Those who happen to forget, overlook your suffering. It “normalizes” suffering, and dehumanizes those who do suffer. Thus indifference is also a betrayal of humanity. That is why indifference is complicity in crime. It’s not something new or rare. Indifference was pervasive pre-WW2 and at least in the initial stages of WW2. It resulted in genocide and the Holocaust then, and in atrocities and genocide in post-WW2 Europe. It is happening right now. Come on! Disagree with me! Raise your voice! Make it loud and clear this weekend! Then I know that you at least are angry, and have the fortitude to match your anger!
