37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to preserve its grip on power. If it did not value the lives of its own citizens, why would it value the lives of others?

Russian terrorists target ambulance in Kherson.

An enemy drone struck an ambulance on the grounds of one of the city's hospitals.

Two doctors, aged 64 and 65, were injured. A 45-year-old woman, who was inside the building during the attack, also required hospital treatment.

Die deutsche drecksAfD: Wir müssen wieder mit den russischen Mördern zusammenarbeiten.

Russia, at the beginning of the war in Syria, asked the UN for a list of hospitals in free territories, under the pretext of protection. After receiving the list, they began bombing all 58 hospitals, managing to do it in a week. All with double strikes, to kill the rescue teams. This is who Ukraine is fighting.

Kyiv today.

But sure, tell us again how badly Russia wants “peace.”

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

APPLEBAUM: Russia's war in Ukraine is sometimes described, including recently by American Vice President, as if it were nothing more than territorial dispute, kind of scuffle over lines on map.

But when Russia denies that Ukraine is a real nation, builds concentration camps on Ukrainian territory, bans Ukrainian language and systematically arrests mayors, teachers, journalists, and priests, then Russia is also attacking Europe that was built after 1945, Europe whose borders are not supposed to be changed by force.

Russia invaded Ukraine not only to destroy Ukraine but also to prove that treaties are meaningless, alliances are weak, and brute force still decides fate of nations.

By waging imperial war of conquest, Russia seeks to undermine Europe's post-imperial order.

Today russia celebrates victory in a war they themselves started together with Nazi Germany.

Russia: Don't bomb our parade in Moscow!

Ukraine: OK. We'll start a full ceasefire.

Russia: Bombs a kindergarten in Sumy.

Four years ago we begged the world to close the sky over us.

The world watched us bury our children instead.

Every Shahed we now know how to intercept - we learned on a Ukrainian grave.

Today the world asks us to close their sky.

We will. For a price. Ours has already been paid. No invoice can match it.

Zelenskyy:

“If JD Vance is proud of not helping us, it means he's helping the Russians, and I'm not sure that strengthens the United States.”

Never forget the GOP lawmakers & right-wing media who babbled endlessly about Hunter Biden yet remain silent at the grotesque levels of Trump and family self-enrichment. And if you think the family's days in politics will be over when Trump Sr. is gone, you still don't get it.

Ukriane deserves every weapon we can spare…they are beating our enemy too!!Why is the Pentagon holding up Ukraine funds? https://t.co/UpzpdTbROt

[U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell @SenMcConnell]

Three months ago, Congress passed more aid for Ukraine, and @POTUS signed it into law. It’s not charity – it is an investment in a partnership with the world’s leaders in drone technology. Who is withholding appropriated funds from Ukraine? Are senior defense officials unwilling or not allowed to visit Ukraine? https://t.co/HLCzejMISg

Russia's stealth disinformation weapon — Storm-1516 — uses fabricated videos, phony websites and anonymous influencers to sow doubt and bend reality. Read The Big Take ⤵️ https://t.co/SV3osTifqe

Two people were killed today in Chuhuiv, Kharkiv region, by Russian drones.

The video contains heart-wrenching testimony from a witness, who is a salesperson in a local store. I have added subtitles for you.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

There is nothing surprising about Trump inviting Putin to the G20 summit. From ending aid to Ukraine, blocking Ukraine's membership into NATO, lifting sanctions on Russian oil, or pressuring Zelenskyy to give Donbas to Putin, Trump always sides with Putin. So, tragic. So, wrong.

Reminder: In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded".

🇫🇷❤️🇺🇦 Fier de la solidarité entre la France et l’Ukraine !

Je suis parti à Zaporijjia à la rencontre de Loïc et Yves, boulangers sans frontières.

Tous les jours, ils distribuent 1000 pains aux civils ukrainiens les plus nécessiteux.

Merci à eux ! On n’oublie pas l’Ukraine !

[Bonkor the relentless 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @LuxFella]

The question is not if the US gov wants to align with russia, that's now established.

The question is why anyone today would look at russia and see compelling reasons to move closer to it.

There is only one explanation, and it involves corruption and personal gain.
