A dead girl under the rubble in #Lviv. Russia killed her in its mass air attack.
Russia's brutal aggression has no limits in targeting Ukrainian civilians. Why is Ukraine still banned from using long-range weapons against military targets in Russia?

Tonight 🇺🇦#Ukraine faced probably the most massive combined air attack with hypersonic missiles by #Russia.
Ukrainian Air Defense Forces shot down 10/10 Kinzhals.
Not a single country ever lived under such attacks.
Not a single one survived them.
Before.
The Consular Corps in Scotland are sending sincere congratulations to the people of 🇺🇦#Ukraine on opening the new chapter in their 🇪🇺 integration path!
Grateful to @GermanCGEdin@ChristophCrepaz@PLinEdinburgh@PaillerSte94881 for your tireless efforts in supporting Ukraine.
By firing over 70 drones at Ukraine overnight on the eve of Holodomor genocide Remembrance Day, Moscow indirectly takes responsibility for this heinous past crime of starving millions of Ukrainians to death.
For them, it was about killing Ukrainians then and it is now.
The difference between 1932���1933 and now is that back then we were practically defenseless against the totalitarian evil that took away all of our food and cordoned off starving villages, preventing people from seeking rescue in other regions.
Today, we have our own state, our own army, our own air defense, and our own memory. We will never forgive and never forget what the Kremlin has done to our people. Moscow takes pride in killing Ukrainians. But they also show how scared they are of the fact that we are stronger than them.
The USSR, and later Russia, made every attempt to conceal and deny the crime of the Holodomor genocide. They failed. 28 states and three international organizations have recognized it as genocide against Ukrainians, and this number has more than doubled in 2022–2023.
I am grateful to each and every of them and call on others to follow suit.
We will continue our work to expand global recognition of the Holodomor. Evil must and will be defeated and held accountable.
Russian missile struck an ordinary grocery store in the Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region. This was a fully deliberate, demonstrative, and brutal terrorist attack.
As of now, more than 51 people have been reported dead. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones! Assistance is being provided to the wounded.
Russian terror must be stopped. All those who help Russia circumvent sanctions are criminals. Those who continue to support Russia are all supporting evil.
Russia needs this and similar terrorist attacks for one reason only: to make its genocidal aggression the new normal for the entire world. And I thank every leader and every nation that supports us in the defense of life!
We are now focused with European leaders, in particular, on how to strengthen our air defense, reinforce our troops, and protect our country from terror.
Terrorists will face retaliation. One that is both just and powerful.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Russian missiles against peaceful #Odesa. There is no excuse for Russian aggression. In the end, the Russian evil will lose & there will be definitely adequate revenge to Russian terrorists for Odesa. #RussiaIsATerroristState#PutinIsAWarCriminal
Now we have information from our intelligence that the Russian military has placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant. Perhaps they have some other scenario. But in any case, the world sees – can't but see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia and no one else. Unfortunately, there was no timely and large-scale response to the terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. And this may incite the Kremlin to commit new evil. It is the responsibility of everyone in the world to stop it, no one can stand aside, as radiation affects everyone.
This is how unique House-museum in #Oleshky looks like after flooding,caused by 🇷🇺destruction of #Kakhovka dam.Only 30-40% of unique paintings of folk artist Polina Raiko survived. While the village is still under the 🇷🇺 occupation the restoration of art works is impossible.
❗️The undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam is not only one of the biggest ecological and humanitarian disasters in the east of Europe that led to the flooding of vast territories and many settlements, but is in fact the biggest crime against food security in the world.
The Kakhov reservoir was the heart of one of the largest irrigation systems in Europe. It was the southern regions of Ukraine that supplied the countries of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe with wheat, corn, sunflower and sunflower oil, soybeans and soybean meal.
We call on everyone who cares about the fate of our planet and the environment, who declares their status as environmentalists and defines nature protection activities as their goals — to take all possible measures in order to record these violations, bring the culprits to justice, and make it impossible to commit such barbarism in the future.

The world and our planet will face catastrophic consequences if you choose inaction!
Ukrainians in Scotland gathered together to voice their strong opposition to the recent terrorist act carried out by russia. This act involved the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, which has resulted in the largest man-made disaster in recent decades in Europe.
Proud of Edinburgh! Taking to the streets in solidarity with Ukraine, to condemn ruzzian terrorist attack on Kakhovka Dam.
Thank you for all who joined us yesterday! Together to victory 🇺🇦
Слава Україні!

Join me in Edinburgh this Friday, 7pm at @Lighthousebks to talk about the growing problem of fascist youth, Russia’s Z Generation, and what we can do to stop it https://t.co/CwZDftw0eO
Kyiv. Morning after sleepless night under fire. Anxiety once again...
Children running and screaming for shelter to the sounds of explosions. But it should not be like this - anywhere and never. Fear cannot be turned off – but we do not stop, we act. Ukraine continues to fight 🇺🇦
Hope wins! @Pernod_Ricard have STOPPED selling their products to Putin’s Russia. We’ve campaigned for this in London, in Dublin with @UkrainianAction, in Edinburgh with @HelpUkraineScot. Now the company's done the right thing.
Other companies still profiting in Russia: take note
