I know many people have already seen this photo. But I want the world to see it again. I want the world to see Ukrainian children.
This is the Kyiv metro, people are hiding from Russіan аttacks. Please, look at these children 💔 This is not how they should be sleeping. Not on the floor of a metro station, waiting for the next аttack.
The world is largely ignoring the scale of North Korea’s involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
North Korean ballistic missiles are being fired at Ukrainian cities, while another 30,000 North Korean troops have reportedly begun arriving in Russia.
If reports of this second deployment are correct, it would bring North Korea’s total commitment to around 60,000 personnel.
To put that figure into perspective, in sheer manpower it is comparable to a substantial proportion, if not all of the British Army’s regular deployable ground forces, including its infantry, with the Royal Marines added for comparison.
This is no longer peripheral support.
North Korea is contributing significant military manpower and ballistic-missile capability to a war in Europe.
North Korean ballistic missiles are being used against Kyiv. North Korean regulars are reportedly training in Russia.
And once again, the world seems determined to look the other way and ignore it.
@EV_Trapper There’s also a lot less Ukrainian activity on twitter now too - a lot of Ukrainian language spaces I used to hang out on are now gone. Switched to google meetings.
@blind_via I’m so proud that this is homegrown Ukrainian tech that makes this happen. My kid was in school for EE and wanted to sign up for the Ukrainian army - I reminded him that he could have a bigger impact with an EE degree than with a rifle.
@AolCRAFT@actfast WTF? Peace just takes moscow ordering their soldiers to come home. That’s it. It doesn’t take “commitment from ALL”. It requires invaders to stop invading.
@PStyrnol@IvanSemenovych@Mylovanov We’ll see within a couple of days. If Fedorov is reinstated, good chance it’s 4D chess (possibly unintentional but he’s done a 180º reverse before with the NABU thing). If not…colossal fuckup.
