The sanctions against Russia are so lax that even Putin's cronies are able to buy western jets and expand their luxury lifestyles.

🇺🇲Le sénateur Jim Himes du Connecticut :
"Je viens de rentrer d'Ukraine. Les gens que j'y ai rencontrés sont les plus courageux que j'aie jamais vus. Ils luttent chaque jour contre la tyrannie russe. Nous sommes à un tournant : le Congrès peut débattre pendant des mois, ou bien nous pouvons soutenir ceux qui se battent pour la liberté, comme nous l'avons toujours fait. Je sais de quel côté je me situe. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦"
This is Oleh.
He was 2.
russia decided that was enough.
A missile hit his home, killing Oleh, his mother, and 14 neighbors.
He never saw peace.
Never started school.
Never had a future.
His life ended before it began.
These are the marks left by russian cluster munitions in Dnipro.
They were used deliberately — to kill and injure as many civilians as possible, and to put rescuers at risk.
At least 11 people were killed, including two children. 37 others were injured.
Congresswoman @Ilhan is the lone democrat vote against the Support Ukraine Act. The only support package to assist Ukraine's survival brought before a vote during this presidency. We appreciate her previous support for aid, but the economics of Russia's war cannot be perpetuated.
There will be no peace: "Do your job, brothers," Putin said in an address to the military, according to Russian media reports.
With this, Putin rejects President Zelenskyy's open letter.
The fighting will end when Russia has achieved its goals—Putin.
What is so hard to understand about that statement? The perverse monster in the Kremlin does not want peace—Putin must be bombed to the negotiating table.
Last night Republicans were supported by Ilhan Omar, when trying to shoot down the Ukraine Bill. They failed in the House, but let it sink in:
Mike Johnson, 193 Republicans and Ilhan Omar in the same corner and united on a foreign policy issue.
Russia is considering lowering the country’s working age to 12 and reopening Soviet child labour camps to solve a jobs crisis driven by the war in Ukraine
