Russia has committed another petrifying war crime by shelling a correctional facility in the occupied Olenivka where it held Ukrainian POWs. I call on all partners to strongly condemn this brutal violation of international humanitarian law and recognize Russia a terrorist state.

It's impossible to describe the feeling when you find out every day that people you knew were killed by Russians in the war. Some of the best professionals: university professors, businessmen, journalists. And then you hear calls for appeasement and excuses not to help Ukraine
