A picture of an entire family killed in this mornings massive Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv is going viral in Ukraine.
People are horrified by Russia’s brutality and furious about the attacks on civilians.
14 Ukrainian civilians have been found dead in Kyiv so far.
❗️The Netherlands is purchasing 700 Ruta Block 2 cruise missiles for Ukraine in a €250 million deal, NRC reported. Produced by Dutch company Destinus, the weapons have a range of more than 700 km, carry a 250 kg warhead and use AI-assisted target recognition. Ukrainian officials said the missiles will support strikes against high-value military targets deep behind Russian lines. #Ukraine
Those images below are recent scenes from Kharkiv, Ukraine. The woman speaking above is @Alice_Weidel , leader of Germany’s @AfD , arguing that Putin should simply be left to do as he pleases. Imagine Churchill saying Hitler had to be accommodated. Imagine De Gaulle accepting occupation. Imagine the Italian partisans deciding fascism was inevitable. Neville Chamberlain already tried appeasement once. This time is even worse, because nobody can say they do not know what Putin is.
As of today, there has been no official appeal to Ukraine regarding the modality of a cessation of hostilities that is being claimed on Russian social media. We believe that human life is far more valuable than any anniversary “celebration”. In this regard, we are announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5–6. In the time left until that moment, it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect. We will act reciprocally starting from that moment. It is time for Russian leaders to take real steps to end their war, especially since Russia’s Defense Ministry believes it cannot hold a parade in Moscow without Ukraine’s goodwill.
@Empisiiii@realitybites555@LeadingReport Comparing the popular vote to a Taco Bell poll isn’t really an argument. The point is that in a democracy, every vote should carry equal weight, and the Electoral College can result in presidents winning without the majority of voters supporting them.
@realitybites555@LeadingReport Popular vote is the democratic option: whoever gets the most votes wins. The Electoral College gives smaller states extra weight and makes swing states, not voters equally, decide the election.

Today, together with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Rob Jetten @MinPres, we honored the fallen Ukrainian defenders at the Wall of Remembrance.
We thank each and every one. We remember and honor the feat of our heroes – all those who stood up to defend Ukraine and gave their lives in this fight for independence.
I do not recommend donating to the Georgian Legion.
🚩 Zero financial transparency on where the donations went
🚩 Blocking those who ask questions
🚩 Threatening lives of pro-UA community
GL had enough time to make things right, but they chose not to. 🧵
@Roseferret@Ingebor86819518 Tja haar biografie zegt genoeg, het is nooit goed genoeg.
We zijn een van de beste en rijkste landen op aarde en slecht hebben we het zeker niet. Maar goed.
@Jemaintiendrai2@Ingebor86819518 Geen haast? Sorry, maar deze oorlog had volgens Rusland 3 dagen, hoogstens 2 weken moeten duren. We zitten inmiddels in het 5e jaar… Geen enkel land houdt een oorlog expres langer vol de economische en humanitaire schade is veel te groot..
@Jemaintiendrai2@Ingebor86819518 Ik kijk geen NOS, ik zit op X en lees veel bronnen zoals the institute for the study of war.
Wat betreft de terrein winst, heeft Oekraïne laatste 2 weken weer veel meer terug veroverd dan Rusland de laatste maanden heeft gedaan.
