This Ukrainian family moved to east Belfast from Kyiv after Russia invaded. Now they are moving again after violent disorder last night severely damaged their home.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

One thing will never change in this war: we Ukrainians value every single life. For each hero we lose, we remember, we care, we support their families, and we ensure they are never forgotten. These are the brave souls who stood up to protect their loved ones, their families, and their friends.

In russia, their soldiers are occupiers, rapists, and murderers. No wonder they don’t care that over a million have died, they shed no tears when their brothers or husbands fall, because it often means an end to the beatings and sexual abuse.

It goes on and on and on..... Russia still destroying their neighbour

❗️❗️❗️ 30 minutes until impact, this is not a drill, SEEK SHELTER, we are in for a very heavy night ❗️❗️❗️

Kalibr cruise missiles have been launched from the black sea and bomber aircraft have taken off across russia, hundreds of Shaheds have also been launched. 🤬🤬🤬

When I worked for Nigel I cannot remember him being in the slightest bit interested in this subject or meeting any survivors.

Neither can Jane Collins, the lady who did the work. In fact, he all but abandoned her .

Coastal cities are replacing concrete seawalls with oyster reefs. The oysters are better at the job.

Seawalls start degrading the day they're installed. Waves chew them up, storms crack them, and the repairs never stop.

An oyster reef, on the other hand, doesn't break down. It actually grows. The oysters stack, reproduce, and fuse into living rock that gets stronger every year. A mature reef can cut incoming wave height by up to 83%, trap sediment, rebuild the shoreline behind it, and shelter fish, crabs, and shrimp while it does the work.

A hectare of reef provides up to $85,000 a year in shoreline protection. Concrete costs over a million dollars a hectare to build and only weakens.

Once again, working with nature instead of against it is the answer.

If you’re wondering why so many people are so concerned about the current Ebola outbreak…

“It was just over a year ago that Elon Musk gleefully declared that they were throwing USAID into the wood chipper. And you may recall that Elon Musk also sheepishly said at his first Cabinet meeting that he mistakenly canceled Ebola prevention…”

BREAKING:

Israel is dropping bombs on residential buildings packed with families in Doueir, South Lebanon, in the middle of the night.

Not military bases.

Homes. Families. Civilians.

This is a massacre.

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism.

One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled.

The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy.

Meanwhile, in Cheshire.

A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain.

She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco.

To recap.

600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water.

Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food.

The shopper picks the almond.

She has been told this is the ethical position.

The aquifer would like a word.

#Kyiv, my love. My heart bleeds with you. The words are simply not there to describe the pain of seeing all the places I know so well gone and destroyed: Main Street of Khreshchatyk, National Art Museum, MFA, Lukyanivka district.

❗️Urgent appeal ⏰️

The majority of drones are not reaching their targets due to extreme electronic warfare jamming across the front, the old solution to this was fibre optic drones, unfortunately now they now cost over $2,222 for a 40km complex, that is over $1000 more per drone than using Starlink dishes.

Help us destroy logistical lines that are essential to keeping the russian war machine fed.

Please share!!

Kyiv Mayor Klitschko: 56 people have already been injured as a result of the enemy attack on the capital
30 of them are hospitalized in city hospitals, including two children
At this time, two people are confirmed dead
Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble at some locations

Kyiv’s medical facilities are operating normally and continue providing full medical assistance to residents of the capital

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

In Kyiv, the number of people injured as a result of the enemy’s nighttime attack has risen to 56.

Thirty of them are currently hospitalized in city hospitals, including two children. At this time, two people are confirmed dead.

Rescue workers are still clearing rubble at some of the strike locations.

“Putin can barely even pronounce the word “hooray” properly anymore, mumbling his words, yet he still keeps “winning” against residential buildings with his missiles. He launched his “Oreshnik” missile at Bila Tserkva. They’re genuinely deranged,” - president Zelenskyy.

At least 83 people have been injured since the beginning of the day. Unfortunately, there are also fatalities. It was a heavy attack - 90 missiles of various types were launched, many of them ballistic missiles - 36 in total. In addition, there were 600 drones.

According to the president, unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted. The largest number of strikes occurred in Kyiv, and Kyiv itself was the main target of this Russian attack.
