Putin is a monster

[olexander scherba🇺🇦 @olex_scherba]

He was only 16. His name was Stepan Chubenko His parents (dad Ukrainian, mom Russian) called him Styopa. He was a poet and a soccer goalie with a great future.

In July 2014, he was arrested by Russian occupiers in his native Donbas, apparently, for wearing blue-and-yellow. He was tortured for days and then executed. He refused to betray Ukraine.

When his body was found, his arms were bound behind his back. All his teeth were missing.

In August, he was awarded Ukraine’s highest medal - “Hero of Ukraine”. Yesterday was his birthday. He would’ve been 28 now. Give him a thought!

Burn in hell, Putin!

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

The drone that struck a street in Kyiv was packed with shrapnel.

The shrapnel scatters over tens of meters and is specifically designed to cause a high number of human casualties.

Europe just stands by and watches.

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

An end to the war in Ukraine is actually THE SIMPLEST thing in the world. Putin withdraws his INVADING forces and goes home. It is THAT SIMPLE. And if he refuses, 100+ nations of earth should unite against him and rain the wrath of humanity upon him.

[Lesia Vasylenko @lesiavasylenko]

4 years ago today the people of Kherson rejoiced as the Ukrainian army freed them from #russia. The embraces and tears of joy are unforgettable. Hope this answers the question as to which army is the liberator and which the occupier.

Putin is a bastard for whom even the fires of hell are too kind!

NEW: Russia used a 6,000-pound precision-guided bunker-busting bomb in a double-tap strike on an underground shelter in Ukraine, killing more than 50 people who gathered there after an earlier attack, our @cnn visual analysis found. Thread ⬇️

@F4FaithFreedom You can be gay and Christian. This is a ridiculous line of attack.

Congrats to my birthday buddy @johnthune for being reelected Republican leader. Great man!

@MaxJPringle @RobSandIA It’s absolutely insane to insinuate that hiring a married gay man is a culture war. Contrary to what u may believe, most ppl r not defined by their preferences for love. 🙄

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

Your daily reminder that Putin is a monster, a threat to ALL mankind, and needs to be swiftly sent to final judgement.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people.

In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.

@GrageDustin He was elected 4yrs ago by a massive margin & by voters who knew exactly how old he was and how long a senate term is. Stop insulting the intelligence of Iowans!

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

@bobvanderplaats @ChuckGrassley Absolutely not! It shows NO respect for Iowans who elected HIM to a SIX YEAR term if he quits so people can try to rig the system. If u think he’d agree to this, u aren’t his good friend and don’t know him or understand him at all.

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

@SteveDeaceShow @ChuckGrassley @KimReynoldsIA This is an idiotic take. Anyone can die at any time. In the years I worked in the senate, the deaths were young senators who had heart attacks or were killed in plane crashes. Chuck Grassley is healthy as an ox and Father Time may just get you first, Steve.

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

@ChuckGrassley is not resigning early and no Iowan of either party should want him to. On Tuesday, Iowa lost every single year of seniority in Congress except Grassley’s. Seniority matters when it comes to getting results for your state. Iowa needs Grassley now more than ever.

[Jen @jeniowa2505]

Senator @ChuckGrassley is not resigning. He remains committed to delivering for the people of Iowa, who overwhelmingly elected him to a six-year term in 2022. #GrassleyWorks

I’ve been saying this for YEARS. No Russian should b free to travel freely. They r ALL complicit

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

Ban all Russian passports. We wouldn’t accept ISIS passports and Russia is far worse terrorist organization.

The monsters who planned and executed this massacre will be looking over their shoulders the rest of their hopefully short lives.

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

Monsters!!!!!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

An utterly horrific Russian attack on the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. Since this morning, the settlement has been hit several times by aerial bombs. The strikes targeted a school used for humanitarian purposes – people were receiving humanitarian aid there. After the first aerial bomb strike, there was a double-tap strike with nine more bombs, specifically targeting the shelter where people were taking cover. Tragically, 18 people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Five people have been injured. A rescue operation is underway at the site, and the search for people continues. It is extremely difficult. Military forces, first responders, and special services are involved.

The Russians could not have been unaware that every week, local residents who had remained in Komyshuvakha received humanitarian aid at that very location. And this is further proof that Russia wants no de-escalation and no real justice. After the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, there was a moment when the next steps could have shown that progress toward peace was possible. With these killings, Russia is sending an entirely opposite signal: Russia is counting on more killings. There must be a response to this – a response from the world. A strong and tough response. A response to Russia. And support for Ukraine. We must protect lives. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

Pardon me for not giving one care to what a Russian barbarian has to say about diplomatic rules. They’ve invaded another country and slaughter children. Vile monsters!

Send a drone, Ukraine. Time for some long range sanctions!

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

Just landed in Atlanta and saw this! Wish @ZelenskyyUa could get a drone bomb over here! Makes be sick that this bastard is on American soil!

[coryjcrowley @coryjcrowley]

Fixed it
