Just take a moment to think: right in the heart of Europe, in one of the largest European countries, people in a small town are dying from hunger, from the cold, from being unable to flee anywhere, while under fire.

🧵URGENT. HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN OLESHKY/THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF THE KHERSON REGION.
I am writing to urgently draw global attention to a severe humanitarian crisis on the Russian-occupied left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region of Ukraine, to seek immediate action

[Alina Sarnatska @ASarnatska]

Це співзасновниця організації Humanity, вони безкоштовно вивозять людей з ТОТ. Вона пише про ситуацію в Олешках - виїзд людей заблоковано, в них немає їжі та ліків. Це катастрофа, про яку треба розповідати зараз

OTD in 1939 USSR sent congratulations to Nazi Germany for their conquest of Warsaw.

Imagine today Russia being aligned with the German far right..

Hell. In Sumy, russian forces deliberately struck near a shopping mall. Two people were killed and 14 were injured.

Russia is a monster.

🇦🇲🇦🇿 Армения и Азербайджан запускают торговлю.

Уже в ближайшие дни азербайджанские компании начнут закупать товары у армянских производителей.

Это станет первым шагом к полноценной торговле между двумя странами.

Настоящий мир наступает там, где кончается российское влияние

[Marko Mihkelson 🇪🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @markomihkelson]

Russian children are being indoctrinated to learn how to kill so that the Russian language can prevail in the world. Russia is a terrorist state. Period.

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

OTD in 1939 Adolf Hitler began his special military operation to protect ethnic Germans from persecution by Poland.

Imagine such a bullshit excuse today.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Take a close look at these two photos.

Thirty years ago, in 1996, on this day, August 31, russia and Chechnya signed a peace agreement. Russia had failed to destroy Chechen independence by force, so it signed a “peace agreement.”

Three years later, in 1999, russia invaded again.

Russia used the three year peace to prepare for revenge. Chechnya was devastated by war, economically isolated, politically destabilized, and largely abandoned by the outside world. Moscow portrayed Chechnya as a failed state and exploited their weaknesses.

When russia returned, it finished what it had failed to accomplish in the first war.

This is why neither Ukraine nor any other country of the world can trust russia to uphold a ceasefire or peace agreement. A ceasefire that allows russia to rebuild its army while Ukraine is pressured to demobilize, Western military support declines, and the world gradually moves on is simply an intermission before the next, even more devastating war.

Ukraine needs peace. But it needs a peace that leaves Ukraine strong and russia unable to attack again. History has repeatedly shown that Moscow interprets weakness as an invitation. The only language russia understands is the language of force. Without strength and credible deterrence, today’s peace agreement can become tomorrow’s preparation for another war.

Les frappes de la 🇷🇺 sur la logistique civile 🇺🇦 ont massivement commencé en 2022 et ne pas une réponse aux opérations récentes de l'Ukraine sur Wildberries.
Cette analyse, publiée aujourd'hui, répertorie les frappes des deux camps.
Cessons de propager le narratif russe.

They were children. russia killed them.

On August 21, a russian attack on Tokarivka, Mykolaiv region, killed three boys.

Brothers Amir and Radmir Matak were 13 and 11.
Their friend Oleksandr Miroshnichenko was 11.

They should have had decades ahead of them — school, friends, dreams, first love, their own families.

Instead, three children were killed by russia.

Three lives stolen.
Three families shattered.

russia is a murderous state — nothing else.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

A child on a bicycle. A Russian drone. Death.

How many more dead civilians will it take for Europe to move from mere concern to concrete action? Russia killed a boy on a bicycle near Kramatorsk with a drone—just for the sake of it.

The world is tired of hearing: "We condemn this," "We stand with Ukraine"....

Our response must not be lethargy and fear. Europe must act: strengthen Ukraine, exert maximum pressure on Russia, and consistently prosecute war crimes.
Looking away is not a strategy.
