Russia is a cancer of the world. It must be stopped.
Russian terrorists attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles. They hit apartment and residential buildings, shopping center, and even a metro station where people are hiding. Many are dead and wounded.
This is pure terrorism.
Last night, Russia attacked a European capital with over 40 ballistic missiles.
That leads nowhere in European news headlines this morning.
Russian terror, murder and destruction are simply taken in stride as a normal story.
Twelve years ago, Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, killing 298 innocent people.
Today, we remember every victim and stand with their families, and all the nations that lost their loved ones on that tragic day. The downing of MH17 was nothing but a terrorist act. Russia has made such terror against civilians a defining feature of its policy – toward its neighbors, the world more broadly, and even its own people.
It is important to ensure that the world doesn’t turn a blind eye and that for every Russian crime – both against Ukrainians and against other people – there is justice and accountability.

On 17 June 1940, the Soviet occupation of Latvia began with the Red Army invasion. Brutal repressions and the murder of innocent civilians followed.
Russia has not changed. It still seeks an empire. It attacks and undermines its neighbours. Russia must be stopped.
I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.
This is what russia is destroying.
The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.
Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”
It’s literally barbarism.
This is what Christianity truly means to Russia.
The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the oldest and most significant monastery of Eastern Slavic Orthodox Christianity, a UNESCO site with almost 1,000 years of history, was under Russian attack last night in Ukraine’s capital city.
This is what happens in reality while that monstrous Soviet KGB regime obsessed with war and territorial grabs tries to pose as “based and trad” to fool Christian conservatives in the West.
And it started raining in the Ukrainan city when its main holy site was on fire.
By striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity, Putin has forever put his name on the list of history’s worst barbarians.
He should be damned for centuries. And he will lose this war.
From the Horde in the 13th century to the Nazis and Bolsheviks in the 20th century, Kyiv’s sacred monasteries have suffered numerous barbarically attacks.
Now we are dealing with Russian terrorists who have already outmatched ISIS in their crimes against cultural heritage. Only Russian scum who have nothing sacred can deliberately damage the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a unique UNESCO heritage site under special protection.
We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism.
We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism.
This is Tartu University in Estonia, founded in 1632.
Russia’s first university was established in 1724. That’s 92 years later!
But please continue the story about how the Baltics were sitting in villages waiting for enlightenment from Moscow.
Oleksandra Oliynykova pulls out her phone mid-press conference at Roland Garros and shows photos of Diana Shnaider playing in the Gazprom tournament, ‘I think it's the same as playing in Nazi Germany in front of Gestapo officers in the tournament organized by a company which built Auschwitz’
"What's serious here is the fact that this match is going to happen. Diana Shnaider is a person who participated in a Gazprom tournament.
If you want to see. This is her in the picture at the Gazprom tournament.
The Gazprom tournament is a company that's financing the war crimes. Playing in a tournament which is financing the camps for kids, I think it's the same as playing in Nazi Germany in front of Gestapo officers in the tournament organized by a company which built Auschwitz. There's no difference to me.
The thing is, everyone is silent about what this person did. She also put likes on the publications of Russian propagandists.
Here are some screenshots. I can send it to you later if you want to this. I'm someone who is suffering just by being at home. My home is being attacked by Gazprom money. They are paying for this, for the drones which are attacking my city.
And tomorrow people will make a show of this. So is it really important who will hit a harder forehand tomorrow or the fact that we're ignoring things like this here."
They face each other next in the 3rd round of Roland Garros.

Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centres.
These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible.
Moscow reportedly using Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles – systems designed to carry nuclear warheads – is a political scare-tactic and reckless nuclear-brinkmanship.
Next week, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to dial up the international pressure on Russia.
La tennista ucraina Marta Kostyuk scoppia in lacrime dopo la vittoria al primo turno del Roland Garros: “Questa mattina, a 100 metri dalla casa dei miei genitori, un missile ha distrutto l’edificio. Ho pianto per gran parte della mattinata” 💔
Russia continues its war of terror against Ukraine. Last night more civilian infrastructure was targeted, more war crimes were committed. Russia will be held accountable. Meanwhile, we must increase support for Ukraine in order to stop the war and Russia.
