Today, Russians once again struck the exclusion zone surrounding the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
A Shahed drone hit a building at the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility, a highly critical infrastructure site.
Attacks on Chornobyl does not just threaten Ukraine, it endangers the entire European continent. This must never be tolerated, yet Russia keeps doing it because there is absolutely no consequences.
This is not the first time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russiaโs nuclear blackmail and threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable. They deserve worldwide condemnation and increased pressure on the aggressor. @iaeaorg
Putin will keep antagonizing and escalating until he is deterred and Russia defeated. Appeasement and negotiations only encourage dictators because they correctly see it as weakness.
๐จ๐ฆ Tomorrow marks another anniversary of D-Day, and Canada's role in those events deserves far more than a brief mention.
On June 6, 1944, approximately 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach, overcoming fear, intense enemy fire, and extraordinary pressure to help open the path to the liberation of Europe.
Many of them were barely older than teenagers. Many never made it home.
Their courage, selflessness, and sacrifice became part of the great victory over Nazism and helped lay the foundations of the freedom that millions of people enjoy today.
We remember their bravery. We honor their memory. ๐จ๐ฆ๐บ
82 years ago today Scotty from Star Trek was shot 6 times during D-Day while fighting for Canada during WWII. On June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, later of Sarnia, landed at Juno Beach while serving in the Canadian Army. He was wounded six times later that day by friendly fire and later became best known as Scotty on Star Trek. ๐จ๐ฆ
Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children.
Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain.
Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting โ an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children.
Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.
