This is what it looks like in Metro Station Osokorky in Kyiv when civilians have to hide from Russian missile attacks.
This is waking your elderly parents up, your children, your babies, and taking them to wait in a strange place whilst the ground shakes and rumbles. Hoping, that when you leave and come out of hiding, that your home is still there, hoping that your place of work still exists and that your friends are still alive.
There are 2 specific decisions that our partners can make to help us put an end to Russian terror as soon as possible: allow long-range weapons to be used against the Russian Federation and agree to shoot down missiles over Ukraine by air defense forces of the Western allies , - Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Dmytro Kuleba
"None of these decisions are escalating. On the contrary, they will deter Russia, help reduce terror and the number of Russian attacks, as well as their losses. Act now, not later. Help us save lives."

◾️ It seems that close officials are still quarantined before meeting with Putin.
◾️ Putin with hand sanitizer and Putin in crowds in Baku and Chechnya is the same person?
"Biden should grant the Ukrainians the authority they seek... Ukraine has scrambled assumptions with its push into Kursk. It’s time for fresh thinking at the White House too — and for the administration to finally deliver the strategy for victory in Ukraine" - @MaxBoot writes, urging the United States to allow Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with long-range missiles.

Sverige står upp för Ukrainas rätt att försvara sin frihet, i vått och torrt. Jag har i fredags haft äran att tilldelas en medalj av president Zelenskyj. Jag är hedrad, och vill dela den med hela svenska folket som fortsätter stötta Ukraina.
Vi bidrar med vapen, vård, flyktinghjälp, återuppbyggnad av infrastruktur, hjälp till barn som far illa, flygplan och mycket mer.
Svenska folkets stöd gör verklig skillnad för våra ukrainska vänner, och vi står kvar vid deras sida så länge det behövs.
