10 years today since russia invaded Ukraine and Ukraine began fighting back. This is how it all started.
#russiaIsATerroristState we keep saying that since Crimea annexation.
Wake up finally.
A maternity ward, educational facilities, a shopping mall, multi-story residential buildings and private homes, a commercial storage, and a parking lot. Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and other cities.
Today, Russia used nearly every type of weapon in its arsenal: “Kindzhals,” S-300s, cruise missiles, and drones. Strategic bombers launched X-101/X-505 missiles. A total of around 110 missiles were fired against Ukraine, with the majority of them being shot down.
Unfortunately, there have been fatalities and injuries as a result of the strikes. All services are working around the clock and providing the necessary aid. My condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
We will surely respond to terrorist strikes. And we will continue to fight for the security of our entire country, every city, and every citizen. Russian terror must and will lose.
"That's what we need to focus on in a proactive way - to build that integration at a community level, that will insulate the community as a whole from the threats coming our way."

Terrorist state🇷🇺 delivered en mass missile strike on critical infrastructure of🇺🇦. Being incapable of defeating #AFU, the enemy wages a war against peaceful citizens, power plants, health care facilities & even babies.
🇷🇺launched 67 cruise missiles. 51 were shot down by the #AFU
One of the missiles exploded into the playground in Shevchenko Park. Any later in the day and it would have been filled with families and children. I pass here almost every day and it’s packed with happy kids playing. This goal of this can only be to terrorize and kill.
Terrorist state🇷🇺 delivers en mass missile & air strikes, UAVs attacks on🇺🇦territory. Since morning enemy launched 75 missiles, 41 of which were shot down by our Air Defence. 🇺🇦Armed Forces are doing everything possible to protect fellow citizens.
Almost 5000 people took the streets to celebrate the Independence Day of Ukraine in Dublin. Grateful to everyone who joined the March of Freedom to remind that we are still fighting. #IndependenceDayUkraine#StandWithUkraine
Read this when they tell you Russia must not be isolated.
There is no difference between Russian diplomats calling for execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war and Russian troops doing it in Olenivka.
They are all ACCOMPLICES in these war crimes and must be held accountable.

New Srebrenica. The Ukrainian city of Bucha was in the hands of 🇷🇺 animals for several weeks. *Local civillians were being executed arbitrarily*, some with hands tied behind their backs, their bodies scattered in the streets of the city.
#RussianWarCrimes
I can't breath, cry or properly function today. They say go and wash your face with cold water, it helps. It doesn't. What I feel is darkness and hatred growing inside my bleeding heart. I will never forget or forgive. NEVER
#BuchaMassacre#Bucha
Bucha massacre was deliberate. Russians aim to eliminate as many Ukrainians as they can. We must stop them and kick them out. I demand new devastating G7 sanctions NOW:
-Oil, gas, coal embargo
-Close all ports to Russian vessels and goods
-Disconnect all Russian banks from SWIFT
1/30 Putin is responsible for the invasion, and must redistribute blame for its failure. After a month, some vectors of discord in the Russian government have suggested themselves. (Thread)
I want to acknowledge the rapid & flexible response of the community & voluntary sector across the country to arrival of Ukranian refugees in their communities. Important now for local Community Response Fora to convene as soon as possible to further coordinate local efforts
What a photo.
Powerful scenes as the Ukrainian flag was raised at @Fingalcoco in Swords earlier, in the presence of members of the Ukrainian community.
Look at their faces; their pride in their country. I’m so, so sorry to watch what’s being done to it. 💔🇺🇦
Today, more than 3 million women, children and the elderly have left #Ukraine. We see you, we are sincerely grateful for your help. We will create legends about this time and tell them to our grandchildren. Thank you, people of the world!
#StandWithUkraine️#Fingal#FCC#Ireland
In 2014, the people of #Ukraine themselves helped 1.5+ million internally displaced persons after the occupation of #Crimea and the start of the war in #Donbass.
Today, the @MayorofFingal and the Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland, HE Ms Larysa Gerasko, raised the Ukraine flag outside County Hall prior to the March meeting of Fingal County Council where councillors passed four motions on Ukraine.
