In Donetsk region, russians killed more than 20 people — civilians who had gathered at that moment to receive their pensions. An air bomb was dropped on them.
Earlier Trump said he had a good conversation with Vladimir Putin and that Putin definitely wants peace.
I feel sick. A red carpet. After everything Putin has done. After Bucha, Mariupol, Kramatorsk railway station attack, the kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, after countless other Russian war crimes. He is welcomed as if nothing has happened.
I will never understand how so many people in the rest of Europe can go about their days without giving the slightest f*ck about the biggest war of aggression since WWII on their continent.
No urge to do something or, at least, stay informed.
0 empathy, 100% desensitized people.
Trump doesn’t impose sanctions on Russia, saying the Russians want peace.
“They should be in the G8,” he adds.
Russia, meanwhile, shows the middle finger, declines Trump’s ceasefire and bombards Kyiv residential neighborhoods.
As of now, at least 14 dead. Most likely more.
As a journalist, I’m supposed to be objective and down the middle. But what is happening here is cut and dry terrorism and the objective view is that this is unjustified and russia is evil. There’s no other way to view it
Don't look away.
Look at the anguish on the face of this man.
I ask again. Where is the military target?
But I think at this point it is safe to say that it was never about military targets for russia and only about inflicting maximum chaos and destruction.
Don't look away.
If this happened in any other major European city, world leaders would collectively lose their minds and make it stop. But apparently it’s fine when it’s Ukraine.
Israel gets to bomb Iran, gets all the weapons it wants, gets Nato Jets to shoot down incoming missiles.
Ukraine is not even allowed to BUY air defense to protect its cities.
Yeah, fuck the US and Israel too.
And fuck you all who were overjoyed at the bombing of Iran but never called out this hypocricy.
I fucking give up 😭🤬
russians killed 14 people in Kyiv last night.
Meanwhile, Trump had a "great conversation" with Putin, where he assured that he wanted peace.
A north korean KN-23 ballistic missile, launched by russia—america’s “friend”—hits a residential building in the capital of a European country.
The world doesn't care.
That's the reality we live in.
While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv.
This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it.
The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.
Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies.
As Christians celebrate Palm Sunday Russia again has killed dozens of innocent civilians in Ukraine. This barbaric act shows that Russia does not want peace. My condolences to the families of the victims and the wounded. Latvia reaffirms its support for Ukraine and just peace.
