Russia did not attack Ukraine because of a threat.
Moscow invaded because it expected an easy win with zero consequences.
Weakness invites aggression. Europe must build real deterrence now and transfer Russia’s assets to Ukraine
Rape of girls as young as 4 and women as old as 82. Routine genital electrocution of male Ukrainian prisoners.
This is just a fragment of the absolutely nightmarish stuff from the just-released UN report on sexual violence in Russia's invasion of Ukraine:
• Violations detailed in the report include rape, gang rape, genital mutilation, electric shocks, and genital beating
• Russian forces are responsible for the vast majority of sexual violence in Ukraine
• The majority of victims are Ukrainian men. In a common form of torture against Ukrainian POWs detailed in the report, Russian forces electrocuted men's genitals using tasers or a Soviet-era military field telephone known as a 'tapik.'
• Women and children, primarily in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces, also fell victim to rapes and sexual assault. The youngest documented rape survivor was a four-year-old girl, and the oldest was an 82-year-old woman, with both cases perpetrated by Russian forces.

Jag deltar i högnivåveckan i FN:s generalförsamling.
FN står vid ett vägskäl. Därför är årets högnivåvecka särskilt viktig.
Finland kandiderar till en plats i säkerhetsrådet vid en kritisk tidpunkt, då en ny världsordning håller på att ta form.
Every day and every night, we defend ourselves against Russian strikes. Yesterday, in the Kherson region, the Russians struck a monastery with an FPV drone. Tragically, one member of the monastery clergy was killed and four others were wounded. My condolences to the family and loved ones. There were strikes on critical and civilian infrastructure in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Odesa regions. In the Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia regions, residential buildings were hit. Since the evening, the Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions have also come under attack. This week alone, Russia has launched more than 2,000 attack drones against us, most of them jet-powered, as well as 1,700 aerial bombs and 19 missiles of various types.
Ukraine is constantly looking for and finding ways to defend itself and respond to these attacks on life. It is important that our partners also look for and find ways to make Russia feel its war. Now is the right moment to take new sanctions steps against the aggressor and force peace through strength. The United States has the means to do this, Europe has them, and so does every G7 country. We are counting on new, strong steps. Thank you to everyone who is helping.
En pappa förde sin svenskfödda dotter i förskoleåldern till Syrien, utan mammans samtycke.
Nu döms pappan för grov egenmäktighet med barn till 1 år och 9 månaders fängelse.
Flickan hålls fortfarande kvar i Syrien, tillsammans med pappans nya fru.

Det är minst sagt remarkabelt att Aftonbladet publicerar detta minst sagt remarkabla erkännande!
Jag häpnar inför denna ovanliga sanningsenliga självrannsakan inför öppen ridå!
Roligt med Centerns talepunkt om hur mycket de har förflyttat sig jämfört med 2018.
Då krävde de en regering ur konstellationen S, M, C, L, KD, MP.
Nu kräver de en regering ur konstellationen S, M, C, L, KD, MP, och är dessutom beredda att sitta i den.
Stort.
Vladimir Putin is preparing to escalate his war against Ukraine, which includes attacks on Kyiv’s allies in Europe.
Western intelligence officials believe the Russian leader is laying the ground for a “stealth mobilisation” after elections this weekend, in which thousands of Russians could be drafted.

@GostaHulten Sluta med ditt trams!! Skrev du så här när Löfven och Andersson gjorde precis så här i samma situation? Du är makalöst inkonsekvent, alltid. Det är ingen trevlig egenskap.
