Sensitive, but the reality as it is–the entire family was shot by Russian invaders in a car while trying to escape from Kyiv Oblast.
In the other case documented by Prosecutor's Office, 5 cars were shot by Russians near Brovary, 4 civilians were killed.

Zelenskyy:
🔹Hundreds of cases of brutal torture
🔹Large villages were left almost without inhabitants
🔹Hundreds of cases of rape are recorded, incl little children. And even a baby! It's just scary to talk about it but it's real
🔹At least hundreds of children became orphans

"What about the rest of🇺🇦, where Russian troops remain? We can not even imagine what is happening in Mariupol & Volnovakha,destroyed by🇷🇺army?
Why? The answer is cynical. Russians are confident of impunity. They have simple logic: everyone needs oil &gas"—Zelenskyy at🇱🇹Parliament

UN: most civilians have been killed or injured due to explosive weapons like artillery, rockets, missiles and air strikes.

The UN High Commission for Human Rights also noted a report by Ukraine's Prosecutor General, which finds 183 children have been killed as of Monday.

[Tim Mak @timkmak]

In the seventh week of the Russian invasion, UN High Comm'n for Human Rights says 1800+ civilians have been documented as killed, and nearly 2,500 injured.

The real figure, they acknowledge, is "considerably higher" due to difficulty in getting info from areas w/heavy fighting

Russian military is focused on eastern cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, with an eye towards the southern cities of Kherson and Mykolaiv as well, British intelligence said:

Don Jr tried to stage a coup.

Jared took billions from the Saudi prince.

But somehow the GOP believes that they have the moral high ground to use Hunter Biden as the main attack line against the Administration.
