🇺🇦💔 June was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since the start of the full-scale war, - UN.
In June, at least 265 civilians were killed and another 1,816 were wounded in Russian attacks. The strikes on Kyiv on July 2 and 6 alone killed 50 people.
Since the start of the full-scale war, at least 16,402 civilians have been killed, including 802 children. 48,428 people have been wounded.
@TarrantMich77@lookner@michaelh992 Yahoo, I guess that is why Iran shut down their internet - because they are so honest about killing their own people. Don't get me wrong, but "MORE honest" is just wrong.
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
