@francska1 While we, Ukrainians, were trying to live peacefully, work, study, marry, raise children, Russians were preparing plastic bags and mobile crematoriums for us. I still can't fully comprehend this idea.

An op-ed for state news agency RIA Novosti titled "What Russia should do with Ukraine" by pundit Timofei Sergeitsev has created quite a stir today

The rhetoric is truly horrific, even by the standards of what I'm used to seeing from pro-Kremlin media

Below are a few quotes:

[Oleksiy Sorokin @mrsorokaa]

⚡️Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova says the atrocities in Borodyanka, Kyiv Oblast, are set to overshadow those committed in Bucha.

“In terms of human casualties, the worst situation is in Borodyanka. There’s a lot to process."

[Lesia Vasylenko @lesiavasylenko]

Russian soldiers loot, rape and kill. 10 y.o. girls with vaginal and rectal tears. Women with swastika shaped burns. Russia. Russian Men did this. And Russian mothers raised them. A nation of immoral criminals

Ukraine needs weapons and humanitarian assistance to defend against #Putin. Stop innocent civilian deaths. @POTUS, provide #SafeAirliftUkraine #StopPutinNOW #PutinWarCrimes

If true, it’s probably the first tank ever stolen by a farmer… ))
Ukrainians are tough cookies indeed.

@RhonddaBryant Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine.

As Russian troops neared Kyiv, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was asked to respond.

He had a pretty clear answer.

THREAD 1/7 Intel from a Ukrainian officer about a meeting in Putin’s lair in Urals. Oligarchs convened there so no one would flee. Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days. @EPPGroup @general_ben @edwardlucas @politico

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Ukraine has submitted its application against Russia to the ICJ. Russia must be held accountable for manipulating the notion of genocide to justify aggression. We request an urgent decision ordering Russia to cease military activity now and expect trials to start next week.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Україна офіційно направила позов проти РФ до Міжнародного суду ООН у Гаазі. Вимагаємо притягнути Росію до відповідальності за спотворення поняття геноциду для виправдання агресії. Просимо суд негайно наказати РФ припинити військові дії та призначити слухання вже наступного тижня.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

So I've been asked what my advice would be to civilian resistors in Ukriane, especially Kyiv. Someone with no military training but wanting to resist. Here are a few things #Kyiv #UkraineUnderAttack :

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

ДЕЗОРІЄНТУЙМО ВОРОГА РАЗОМ!
Аби спантеличити та дезорієнтувати ворога, який незаконно пересувається Україною, закликаємо:
- познімати таблички з номерами і назвами вулиць/міст/сіл у своїх регіонах.
Зробімо все можливе для якнайшвидшого очищення України від російського окупанта❗️
