Germany agrees to halt coal imports from Russia but not oil and gas. Not good enough - Germany is financing genocide in Ukraine. It learned nothing from WW2.
I keep getting calls from Estonians driving ambulances to Ukraine being stopped and harassed by German police. Wrong number plates. Dont like lights etc Being stopped for hours while the Russians drive around with Soviet flags in Berlin. Was ist los?
“I think I’ve died today”. This is how Ukrainians are reacting to harrowing images from Bucha and other Kyiv suburbs. Yes, we’ve all died, part of us is lost forever. I don’t think the pain will ever go away. We know there’s more Russian atrocities to witness. Unbearable.
Italy saying they will not veto an EU Russian energy ban, so it’s now Germany, Austria and Hungary standing in the way. Looks like the learned nothing from WW2 about how to stand up against genocide.
Cases documented for new @hrw report describe horrific abuses committed by Russian forces in Ukraine, including rape and summary executions.
In the village of Staryi Bykiv, Russian soldiers rounded up six men from the village and shot them. https://t.co/Ypzr4737KN
Liberated Bucha near Kyiv. Horrible evidence of russian war crimes committed during the occupation of the city.
Never forget.
Never forgive.

+(Maritime) City states are commercial, multicultural & tolerant. You expand by doing more trade, not invading lands.
The war crimes in Brovary and Chernihiv directions might be more heinous that those in Bucha. We have eyewitness accounts through friends, relatives and students. We need help documenting them Journalists and lawyers who can help please contact @ZoyaMylovanova Examples: 1/
Lyuba (28) lived with her mom near #Kharkiv. They couldn’t evacuate as mom didn’t walk.
One day 🇷🇺 came for food. One stayed. He raped her for a week. When running, he offered to go with him. She said she couldn’t leave mom. So, he shot the mom in front of her. #RussianWarCrimes
In Irpin, Russian occupiers shot women and girls and then drove tanks over their bodies, mayor of the town, Oleksandr Markushyn reported. He says they massacred people right in the middle of the street, many died from mines and shelling, too.

The mass murder of Ukrainian civilians in Kyiv’s suburbs underscores that Ukraine is fighting for its survival — it also shows the awful, obvious truth about Russia’s true intensions in Ukraine.
