Ukraine clearly needs long range missiles and the U.S. should provide now. Argument we don’t have enough makes no sense since we’re selling them to other countries. Nor does argument they are escalatory since both UK and France are already providing them. https://t.co/JkJZ4vGZ3s
🔴Thousands of Ukrainian children have gone missing since Putin invaded Ukraine
Some were taken away by officials. Others were persuaded to attend “summer camps” they never returned from
But some broke free from Putin's grasp
These are their stories⤵️

Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has abducted at least 19,474 Ukrainian children. They were taken to Russia and Russian-occupied territories. The real number is likely even higher.
The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 399-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives at the expense of workers.
Einer der größten Angriffe auf #Lwiw#Lviv seit Kriegsbeginn. #Russland tötet 4 Menschen und verletzt 32.
Mehr als 30 Gebäuden wurden beschädigt, teils Stockwerke komplett ruiniert. Rettungskräfte suchen weiterhin nach Überlebenden.
At night, Russia launched a missile attack on the historic center of Lvіv.
They chose the time when people were sleeping to kill more civilians
It makes no military sense to hit a city that is so far from the front. Russia did it only because it hates Lviv and it’s people
You can read essays by Victoria Amelina (1986—2023), who died on July 1 after a Russian missile strike.
“Homo Oblivious” (about the Soviet past, memory and forgetting); and “Nothing Bad Has Ever Happened” (about Lviv and the Holocaust).

To @TuckerCarlson and everyone here who accused Ukraine of blowing up the Kakhovka dam.
NYT: A dam in Ukraine was designed to withstand almost any attack imaginable — from the outside. The evidence clearly suggests Russia blew it up from within.

This is Victoria Ivashko, 9-year-old girl who was killed by 🇷🇺 missile on #ChildrenDay. She was a judoka & gained her first victories. Just last weekend Victoria performed at competition in #Kyiv. 🇺🇦victory&holding 🇷🇺 war criminals accountable is the only way to restore justice.
In Ukraine, “village after village stands empty; forests, littered with mines, are abandoned; fields are covered in gaping craters instead of crops.”

Alright, so, tonight we've been witnessing a very StarWars-like battle in the skies above Kyiv. @darkadzhala and I woke up around 2.30 am from a series of explosions, unlike many of the ones we've heard before. 1/🧵
Tonight the Russian Army attacked residential buildings of Mykoliav with Kalibr missiles. As of now, 23 are injured, and 1 is dead. Russian Army continues doing what they do best – murdering defenseless civilians in their sleep.
Russia killed 262 Ukrainian athletes since Feb 24, 2022, according to the government. The angels of sports were commemorated in Kyiv by displaying their photos and shoes. The whitewashing of aggressors is not neutrality, @iocmedia@olympics
