A barbaric Russian war crime that sends chills down your spine

On November 2, dozens of residents of Komyshuvakha in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region took shelter in a school building after receiving a warning of an airstrike.

Russian aircraft dropped a FAB-3000 bomb on the building.

Rescuers recovered the bodies of 37 victims from the rubble, including two emergency responders and four police officers. Dozens more people remain missing. The death toll could approach 100.

It was an act of terror and an entirely unjustified war crime against civilians who had come to collect humanitarian aid.

Russia claimed that Ukrainian drone operators were the intended target. However, bodycam footage shows civilians rushing into the shelter.

Russians have released drone footage of them dropping a multi-ton guided bomb on a school in Zaporizhzhia, setting it to pop music.

This strike killed over 30 people.

This is Russian culture.

15-year-olds Yana and Masha. 💔 Killed by a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv on today.

​The girls were 10th-grade students. They had their whole lives ahead of them. If only it weren't for Russia.

Putin's army is stuck. Now he is trying to win through propaganda and a terrorist campaign

Putin: The war will continue until its root causes are eliminated.

The root cause of the war:

This wonderful girl from Odesa didn’t stop singing for people in the park, despite the air raid sirens and even explosions.

She decided that Russia wasn’t ruining their evening!

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Ich sage das als Ukrainer, Europäer und Demokrat: Vor dem Schuss nicht fallen. Nicht zögern, nicht jammern – sondern handeln. Das ist es, was Autokraten wirklich fürchten.

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.

Die russische Einmischung hier ist mehr als ein Warnsignal - die sogenannte Neutralitätsinitiative würde vor allem Parteinahme für Russland bedeuten.

Gewidmet allen Putin-verstehenden Neutralitätskämpfern von ganz rechts bis ganz links. (Btw die Drohne ist nicht von der Nato... )

Show this to your MAGA friends who try to paint a picture of a collapsing Europe.

Johnson: “I just don’t think I’ve ever seen such a clear case of right and wrong, good and evil. What Putin did was absolutely criminal.”

Russia accused him of scuppering a possible 2022 peace deal and bearing “personal responsibility” for the loss of life. 5X

They invaded us. They were “the magnificent empire”. We were the lowly “pig breeders”.

When we didn’t greet them with flowers and fought back, they called us “American proxies”.

When America said “it’s not our war”, they called us “war mongers”. As if we attacked them.

In the fifth year of bombarding our cities, they started calling their strikes “retaliation” and our strikes “provocation”.

Which doesn’t change the truth: their war is a geopolitical murder in plain view. It’s fascism pure.

“Never again” is now, again.

Ukraine has greatly benefited from the US getting out of Ukraine:
1. Ukraine can now pursue its own wiser military strategy.
2. Now Ukraine successfully bombs Russian oil refineries & terminals, causing a shortage of gasoline.
3. Europe has generously added the financing that Trump has withdrawn.
4. Europe does not pose stupid demands about what it does not understand unlike the US.
5. Ukraine has successfully developed its own arms, leaving the US behind, while Europe cooperates.
6. US pressure on Ukraine to give up territory to Russia has ended & the pro-Putin fools Kushner & Witkoff have lost all significance.
7. Amazingly, the US seems to have no policy on Russia or Ukraine apart from Trump's wild imagination. Without policy, Trump is unable to appoint US ambassadors.
8. Ukraine's future victory is likely to mark not only the end of Russian imperialism, but also the demise of US power in Europe because of Trump's folly or treason.

This is one reason the Ukrainians are fighting like hell to save their country. They know that if they lose, this is the fate that awaits many of them.

[French Response @FrenchResponse]

When the whole world sees the truth - your soldiers dying for nothing, your economy collapsing, your population sealed in a digital ghetto..

All that’s left is noise, threats, and empty words.

🇷🇺 is losing.
