June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. It honours kids affected by war and violence. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, at least 707 Ukrainian children have been killed. Behind every number is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.

Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE Police Officer.

Nigel Farage called for calm.

But when he can use racism he calls for Cold, Hard, Rage.

[Kyrylo Budanov @Kyrylo_Budanov]

Moscow is killing our children. No words in the world can ever ease this unbearable pain and horror.

According to official figures alone, Russia has taken the lives of 707 Ukrainian children. Another 2,548 have been wounded and maimed by explosions. More than 20,000 have been abducted and forcibly taken from their homes. These are just dry numbers, but each one represents a lifetime of pain for a Ukrainian family.

Today, June 4, is the Day of Remembrance for Children Killed as a Result of Russia’s Armed Aggression Against Ukraine.

Everything the Russians are doing amounts to genocide. It is a systematic and clearly planned attempt to destroy the Ukrainian nation. They deliberately target our children, committing war crimes for which there can be no justification. They are destroying our history, our memory, and trying to physically kill our future.

We will never forgive the Russians for this. There is no and will never be any justification or forgiveness for crimes committed against our children. Everyone who gave these orders and everyone who carried them out will be found and destroyed. The ground will burn beneath your feet wherever you try to hide.

There are no words that can comfort parents whose lives have been shattered forever by Russian killers. But we have a duty: to bring home every abducted child and to do everything to ensure that the truth about these crimes is heard around the world.

Eternal memory to the innocent victims of Russian terror.
Glory to Ukraine!

Awesome Kyiv Day vid from Ukraine’s Air Force

[Natalka @NatalkaKyiv]

‼️ Please do NOT look away!

Watch the video! Feel what people just like you felt at the moment Russian forces attacked a playground in Kherson.

Children were wounded. One little girl lost an eye.

Please share! The world needs to see what Russia is doing to innocent Ukrainians.

A shocking video of the aftermath of the attack on Lukyanivka in Kyiv has been published online.

Horror and pain.

Perpetrator: Russia.

Hellish night in Kyiv. Didn’t know if I’d wake up.

When there’s nothing on the battlefield, Russia wages war on market stalls and apartment blocks, murdering people in their sleep.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.

It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.

Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.

It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.

We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Putin wanted to show “strength” but only confirmed his weakness.

Overnight, Russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM.

Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack.

As of now, at least two civilian people have been reported killed and many dozens injured. These numbers may grow. Many residential buildings have been damaged.

Unable to achieve any results on the battlefield, Putin turns to terror against civilians.

This strike was probably meant to demonstrate “strength” to the domestic audience, but instead it only confirms Putin’s weakness. Even Russians see that he is a loser.

His “special operation” is not achieving any results. Losses are enormous, but there is not a single achieved goal. Except that there are no safe places in Russia any more, as Ukraine ramps up its special long-range sanctions.

To our allies, I want to say this: it is time to double down, not back down, in supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on the Russian regime.

We call for additional defense capabilities, including to protect our sky; investment in our defense industry; increased pressure on Russia, including entry ban for Russian combatants, full use of frozen assets; strong political decisions with regard to Ukraine’s EU accession and other steps.

The world has the leverage. It needs to be used right — to show Moscow that such strikes will not bring any results — and force Russia to end this war.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Russians murdered 26 civilians just today:

▪️Zaporizhzhia — 12 dead
▪️Donetsk region — 5 dead
▪️Poltava region — 5 dead
▪️Dnipro — 4 dead

Then russians want a one-day ceasefire to celebrate all the killing.

@POLITICOEurope That's Piggy Cox for you. Wonder whether he has been working so hard to help his constituents in Torridge area now that cost of heating oil has increased.

[Dittie @DittiePE]

$580,000,000 in oil futures moved 16 minutes before Trump announced a pause in Iran strikes.

Not after. Before.

The BBC just documented five separate instances of massive, suspiciously timed trades preceding Trump’s biggest market-moving announcements — oil futures, the tariff pause, Maduro’s capture, Iran ceasefire bets.

The platforms where anonymous accounts cashed in? Polymarket and Kalshi. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board and is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.

There’s even a law against this. The STOCK Act (2012) explicitly covers executive branch officials. Zero prosecutions in 14 years.

Oh, and the DOJ unit created after Watergate to prosecute exactly this kind of corruption? Trump cut it from 36 lawyers to 2 and stripped its authority to file new cases.

Remember, ending air-defense aid to Ukraine is JD Vance's proudest accomplishments as Vice President.

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

Kyiv burns as Ukraine no longer has any Patriot interceptor missiles - the only defense against Russian Iskander ballistic missiles.
Vice President Vance recently bragged of his "proudest" achievement - cutting off military support for Ukraine.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Kyiv this night

Meanwhile JD Vance is proud of this.

Bucha. Early April 2022.

A 6-year-old boy at his mother’s grave in their yard. She starved to death under russian occupation.

Four years later:
russia is still in the UN.
World leaders issue statements.
The U.S. shakes russian hands.
No consequences. No justice.

Never forget

Russia hit apartments and an historic church in Lviv, Ukraine today with Shahed drones, and yet they show up to the US Congress claiming they are defenders of Christianity. We must not believe their lies.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Don’t look away, @la_Biennale. This is the ugly face of barbaric Russia—destroyed UNESCO World Heritage in the protected center of Lviv. This is the barbarism you wish to normalize at the Biennale. Get real!
