Horrifying reports that Mariupol’s drama theater was bombed today in a Russian airstrike. Hundreds of civilians were reportedly sheltering inside, according to Mariupol’s city council.
The building is located in a park in the city center. Impossible that this was an accident.
Held talks with another true friend of 🇺🇦, PM of 🇨🇦 @JustinTrudeau. Noted the importance of yesterday's address to 🇨🇦 Parliament & people. Thanked for the significant support in the war with Russia. We need to strengthen the anti-war coalition. The common goal is peace in Ukraine
My friend Sergey, a territorial defense soldier in Kyiv, sent me this photo. With his permission, I'm sharing it here.
Not sure how to caption this — but with the McDonald's closures in Russia, a pretty symbolic shot.
Above all, another nail in the coffin for McPeace.
Every day Russia bombs Ukrainian cities, destroys them, hits residential areas, killing civilians.
Help us to stop it! Close the sky over Ukraine!

Listening to Lavrov talking about “a possible compromise,” after Russia killed what looks like tens of thousands of people, I don’t see Ukraine accepting anything less than Russian withdrawal from Donbas, including Donetsk & Luhansk.
There’s no middle ground anymore.
Day 21 of Ukraine resistance. Russian bombing of residential blocks in Kyiv goes on, but troops fail to approach or besiege the city. Three PMs arrived there in a strong show of support. About 20,000 people evacuated from Mariupol, but no supplies let in. Ukraine needs more help
