My hometown, Shostka, has been under ruthless russian drone attacks this weekend. The goal is to make it unlivable: electricity, gas, and water, have been interrupted by targeted strikes on the key infrastructure. Today, drones hit a railway station, killing one and injuring 30
A savage Russian drone strike on the railway station in Shostka, Sumy region. All emergency services are already on the scene and have begun helping people. All information about the injured is being established. So far, we know of at least 30 victims. Preliminary reports indicate that both Ukrzaliznytsia staff and passengers were at the site of the strike.
The Russians could not have been unaware that they were striking civilians. And this is terror the world must not ignore. Every day Russia takes people’s lives. And only strength can make them stop. We’ve heard resolute statements from Europe and America – and it’s high time to turn them all into reality, together with everyone who refuses to accept murder and terror as normal. Lip service is not enough now. Strong action is needed.
The root causes of this war are Putin's denial of Ukraine's right to exist and his wish to destroy our nation—a genocidal goal backed by Russians. This is why Russia started this war, commits atrocities, and tries to change borders by force. So yes, let’s remove the root causes.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, here’s Biden personally lobbying to disarm Ukraine on Nov 25, 1991, just as they become independent - to save Russia the headache.
> “The Soviet desire to get US support to destroy these weapons is not all because they worry they will be used against the United States. They worry they will be used against them (Russia).
> The Ukraine has a significant number of nuclear warheads on their landmass. They declare independence tomorrow, mr. president. They nationalize, in effect, all those weapons that are now on their territory.
> They become an INSTANT nuclear power, mr. president. With a government, we know naught of, in circumstances we cannot contemplate, and, for the Russian republic… a new dimension with which they have to deal.”

Don't wonder what will happen if Russia collapses. It already did! Years ago. It's not a state, it's a mafia front with factions fighting each other for money, resources, and power.
I’m now in a pressing need for an independent thinker or a high-minded linguistics professor to very carefully explain to me that this is all still a Western proxy war against Russia amid decades of NATO expansion, and also how Ukraine and its western sponsors are still sorely losing this war even at this point.
You want the war to end? To save lives, to save money? Then you should do everything you can to get Ukraine the weapons and aid it needs to drive out the Russian occupation from every inch of Ukraine immediately. That's the only real peace plan.
Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.
All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only.
What are you waiting for, World? Until
they blow up Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant?
Throw russia out of the UN, start the tribunal for this and other war crimes, and arm Ukraine to the extent we can win fast and save the world from russian terrorism!
Putin and an expert used an old French map from the 17th century to show that Ukraine didn’t (doesn’t) exist.
It turned out that Ukraine was demarcated - while there was no mentioning of Russia as an independent state. St Petersburg belonged to Sweden!
The Budapest memorandum recognized Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons. It also provided security guarantees by the US, UK, Russia. Russia violated sovereignty. Security guarantees did not realize. 1/

Good morning, United Nations! Did everyone get a good night sleep? Surely better than the residents of the house hit putin’s missile this morning in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine @un
Deporting children to denationalize them, as Russia is doing, is indeed a war crime. In fact, "forcibly transferring children of the group to another group" is genocide, according to 1948 convention. Summary here, full report @YaleSPH.

In September, she lost her loved one in the war. Today, she lost her home. She was rescued, but her parents are still under the rubble, their fate unknown.
