. @JaredLeto are you aware that there is WAR in Ukraine and not just some “problems”? Are you aware that russians voluntarily come here to commit genocide and war crimes? If what you said is okay for you, if you sympathize war supporters, then you are NOT welcome in Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
For those who claim that "it wasn’t a direct strike".
The rocket on the video was not hit by air defenses and was flying straight at the target, which is exactly the Ohmatdyt hospital below it.
Russians just hit an “Epicenter” hypermarket in Kharkiv with two “FAB” aerial bombs.
Deliberately on the weekday when lots of civilians are inside.
2 people confirmed killed, large number of people is missing and many are wounded. There is a big fire going on right now.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's 2nd largest city, is under relentless missile and Shahed drone attacks, mercilessly targeting innocent civilians.
In just the past weeks, these barbaric assaults have taken the lives of at least 15 people, leaving countless others wounded, including vulnerable children.
Ukraine urgently requires additional air defense systems to shield its citizens. Every second counts.
#UkraineNeedsAirDefense
Overnight, Russia launched an attack on Ukrainian energy facilities, damaging power generation, transmission and distribution systems in various regions, including Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant, the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant in Zaporizhzhia.
Many towns and cities were partially or completely cut off from electricity.
Seems that Russians not had enough of the terrible disaster at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant last year.
Ukraine needs weapons and air defense against Russian terrorism and genocide.
The criminal actions of russia on following points:
The violation of provision of Article 3. 35 of Chapter I, Part III of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949, Concerning the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts Regarding the Prohibition of Methods or Means of Conduct of Military Actions Which Are Intended to Cause or Can Be Expected to Cause Widespread, Long-Term, and Serious Damage natural environment.
Such barbaric actions of the Russian Federation violate the basic principles and ideas that the civilized world developed for decades and enshrined in a number of international agreements, for example, in such as the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, Mainly as a Habitat for Waterfowl and the Convention on protection of wild flora and fauna and natural habitats in Europe. Such actions of the enemy once again demonstrate to the world community the absolute leveling of the Russian Federation against international norms, standards and rules.
Such criminal actions of the Russian military definitely and completely fall under the criminal law qualification under Art. 8 (2) (b) (iv) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The consequences are:
- The impossibility of taking water necessary for cooling the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which outcomes as a threat to the nuclear safety of the world;
- A mass death of aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, microorganisms, aquatic vegetation) with further disturbance of their habitat, including birds and other amphibians and animals;
- Significant risks for rodent populations, in particular endemic species and those listed in the Red Book of Ukraine;
- Disturbance of the habitats of plant complexes;
- Negative impact on water areas, coastal areas and the land part of three Ukrainian national nature parks - "Nizhnyodniprovskyi", "Kamyanska Sichi", "Biloberezhya Svyatoslav", Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (this territory also has the status of a UNESCO biosphere reserve), Regional landscape park "Kinburnska Kosa" and numerous objects of the nature reserve fund with smaller areas. All these territories also have the status of Wetlands of international importance, protected in accordance with the Ramsar Convention, and are also territories of the Emerald Network, protected in accordance with the Berne Convention;
- The pollution of the waters of the Dnipro and the Black Sea - primary pollution due to the ingress of fuel and lubricant materials into the waters, washing away of garbage, agrochemicals, other dangerous materials, flooding and failure of sewage treatment systems, sewage, and so-called "secondary pollution"
- A leaching, transfer of mines and other explosive substances, increase in mine danger;
These are only few major aftermath to come.
❗️The undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam is not only one of the biggest ecological and humanitarian disasters in the east of Europe that led to the flooding of vast territories and many settlements, but is in fact the biggest crime against food security in the world.
The Kakhov reservoir was the heart of one of the largest irrigation systems in Europe. It was the southern regions of Ukraine that supplied the countries of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe with wheat, corn, sunflower and sunflower oil, soybeans and soybean meal.
We call on everyone who cares about the fate of our planet and the environment, who declares their status as environmentalists and defines nature protection activities as their goals — to take all possible measures in order to record these violations, bring the culprits to justice, and make it impossible to commit such barbarism in the future.

The world and our planet will face catastrophic consequences if you choose inaction!
Russia blew up Kakhovska HPP that is on the Dnipro River. This is an act of terrorism and a global threat, the consequences of these actions could be colossal and unpredictable.
Russians filmed a terrible video of brutal beheading of a captured Ukrainian soldier. This is yet another monstrous crime of russian army and a violation of all conventions and moral principles of humanity.
You have to realize that such thing should never happen in 21st century, this is pure terrorism, a literal torture to death, an execution of a helpless human, that screams in agonizing pain for help and begs not to kill him. Everyone should understand this and take measures.
A peaceful day in the world, another horrible day in Ukraine. Russian rocket just hit a section of residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. Rescuers are working on the spot, details about causalities are shortly to be known.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Few minutes ago, a Russian missile has demolished an apartment block in Dnipro.
At least one entrance was destroyed. There are people under the rubble of the apartment block now.
