We are working at all levels of state and local authorities to rescue as many people as possible from the flooded areas. The evacuation is ongoing. Wherever we can get people out of the flood zone, we do so. The State Emergency Service, police and military are doing a great job! I want to thank each and every person involved!
We are establishing more details about the damage Russia has caused by this disaster. In more than 40 settlements, life is broken. For hundreds of thousands of people in many towns and villages, access to drinking water has been greatly hampered.
Russia must be held accountable for this deliberate crime against people, nature and life itself.
The russian invasion of Ukraine has been defeated. It's a fiasco, debacle, disaster that can't be salvaged.
putin's regime is doomed and he knows it. So I wrote in detail why 𝐔𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬:

@TheEconomist "There are no more 'okay' #ruZZians" ... #ruZZians in exile admit turning a blind eye on #ruZZia's war crimes for years and, instead of protesting en-masse as the brave #Ukrainians, they chose to run away and whine from afar https://t.co/dcCt3JUAZT
Why does @TheEconomist continue to give #Rashists a platform to whine when their inaction gave rise to the murderous terrorist state which is #Russia https://t.co/DmeCN6KMOa
A perspective on corruption in Ukraine. I am an academic economist, a former Ukrainian minister, and a public figure, in that order. I did a land market reform after 20 years of sabotage by vested interest. That experience helped me understand 1/
I'm sorry but @Weltspiegel_ARD and their #German journalists have no credibility in teaching the world how to judge the silence of ordinary #Rashists (a.k.a. #Russians) throughout the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine. The only valid view is of the Ukrainians from the front lines.
Why aren’t we sending Ukraine all the tools needed to end the war? Why are we avoiding specifics during the debate on Ukraine‘s membership of NATO? Because the belief is still alive that after the war we can return to business as usual, as if February 24th was just a glitch.
For me, the word "russian" is no longer associated with something state or national. For me, "russian" is a synonym for "terrorist". I put ISIS, russia and terrorism in a row with the same meaning
@Telegraph The Russians are not uprising and not protesting. They are fleeing only because they don't want to be sent to Ukraine to end up dying there i.e. they want to disobey the order of the government they brought to power themselves. They are fleeing out of self preservation.
@Telegraph This invasion of Ukraine is not comparable to Syria - Syria was a civil war - Assad waging a war inside the country and the Syrians were uprising and protesting against him. This situation in Russia is different.
@Telegraph Russians who are already outside Russia for months now have been complaining about EU and UN sanctions on Russia and discrimination against Russians - no-one is going to be fooled into thinking these fleeing conscripts are going to protest against Russia when they are outside
@Telegraph Russians have chosen to stay silent about the war (special military operation) - they have no right to claim refugee status regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed about the war
