Pure evil. Absolute evil. Russia looks to be using cluster munitions on Kyiv today. And we have left Kyiv in a position where it cannot intercept these strikes!!!!!

Reports of an Iskander cluster strike on Kyiv - a capital in Europe! We are allowing the ongoing Russian genocide of Ukrainians - these strikes are primarily on residential buildings!!!! What the hell are our values? "Serve up others to Russia while pledging to them our support?"
Trump's objectives have never shifted. He has never intended to help Ukraine, and that has not changed. He has always pursued policies in Moscow's interests against Ukraine - including enabling Russian genocide of Ukrainians - and that has not changed, nor will it. 1/4
Polish President Nawrocki turns Polish historical defeat into a mythical victory. The former head of Poland's Institute of National Remembrance revises Polish history for political purposes. Why assume his approach to Polish history with Ukrainians is any more honest or trustworthy?
Yup. I've always said the ONLY way Russian society would object to their war and genocide is by feeling the consequences of their crimes. It's been clear since 2014 that they don't object to occupying Ukraine, destroying infrastructure or exterminating Ukrainians. They celebrated it.
The russian society had no problem with their army exterminating Mariupol, committing the Bucha massacre, mass murders in Izium, & nuclear terrorism, bombing of Okhmatdyt hospital, abducting Ukrainian children, or torturing POWs... But the loss of Wildberries? That's where the line must be drawn.
…I thought about what would happen if they bombed New York, or if they bombed my house, because Lviv reminded me a lot of the city where I live." 2/2
🇺🇦‼️Jesse Eisenberg witnessed the Russian shelling of Ukraine during a visit and reacted to it: “What if they bombed New York?” "We were woken up by anxiety, we went down to the shelter, and in the morning I saw the consequences of the shelling. It was devastating, terrible, outrageous, tragic. 1/2
Russian attack on the logistics centre of Ranok Publishing House in Kharkiv. ~8 million books were destroyed worth about 24 million USD. "According to industry estimates, more than 10% of Ukraine's annual book printing output has been destroyed in just the past few weeks." 1/6
What we have consistently seen is that the evil regimes of the world are infinitely more committed to their objective of destroying the western-led rules-based order than we are to preserving it:
"This is insane : North Korean men go to the frontline to die for Russia, North Korean women go to Wildberries to die for Russia." The one (Europen morning) update worth listening to. 🌄
If you enjoy Mondelēz products such as Cadbury,Oreos,Milka, Toblerone etc., it is worth bearing in mind that they have been produced in support of the largest genocidal war of conquest since 1945. This was recently explained by Dirk Van de Put,Mondelēz's chief executive,in an interview with the BBC.

Mondelez boss Dirk Van de Put says it was the "right decision" to remain after the war with Ukraine.

Kyiv after at least 30 Russian genocide strikes on residential buildings overnight. Ukrainians are being murdered in their beds EVERY day. Our response is not to stop the genocide, not to help defeat Russia like we defeated the Nazi regime, but to tell Ukraine to negotiate with the fascist aggress.
The lack of reaction to yet another Russian incursion of NATO territory is a terrifying failure of our governments to protect us from fascist Russia. The giant crater in Poland resulting from a Russian missile is not the first incident which calls for NATO to invoke Article 4. 1/6
It is NOT Ukraine's responsibility to prevent Russian drones and missiles from entering NATO airspace. But despite the lack of legal obligation to do so, Ukraine does it often, and without public recognition or thanks. 1/3
Another day, another horrofying hate crime attack on a Ukrainian in Poland. Today, in Gdynia, a Ukrainian woman speaking Ukrainian was assaulted from behind, struck so violently that she has hospitalized with a broken skull. Poland is unsafe for Ukrainians. This cannot stand.
Russian defeat is not complete by restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity. It isnt enough. Russian defeat needs to look like Nazi Germany's defeat, not just a withdrawal of troops and then some punishment of some military figures and politicians.
"Poland had no time to shoot down the Russian missile in its airspace." In 2015, Turkey downed a Russian jet after seventeen seconds in its airspace. Where there is a will there is a way.
Imagine your elderly mother, your grandmother, your great grandmother. Now imagine she is lying trapped under an enormous pile of rubble after a genocide missile strike in the middle of the night on her home. This is what Ukrainians endure day after day after day after day.
First responders rescued and evacuated a 93yo woman. The russians bombed her home in Lviv, trapping her in the rubble of her apartment at the highest floor. Don't look away, please. The russian terror continues every day.
Fantastic. Keep the defence strikes against those genocidal barbarians comping!!!!
🔥AFU attacked two more Wildberries warehouses in Volgograd and Zelenodolsk, Tatarstan. 💥 Nizhnekamsk, where the refinery is located, was also under attack. 💥 Explosions were also heard in Kaspiysk, Dagestan. Attack on the port. ❗️Drones hit the Volgograd refinery.
There you have it. As expected. Trump says he's "not sure" about granting Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles."We have to be careful of who we license to...I'm not looking for missiles. We're looking for peace." He's still coercing Kyiv to concede to Russia.
Russian missile impact in Poland. This is what the empty claim of "not one inch" of violating this NATO nation looks like:
Lviv after Russian strikes on residential buildings overnight.
"There is no indication thar Poland wasn't the intended target of the Russian missile." So what? Russian missiles should not be allowed in NATO airspace. Period. The "exception" for allowing them to travel through to kill Ukrainians and destroy Ukrainian infrastructure is EVIL.
Trump still wants President Zelensky to end Russian aggression and genocide of Ukrainians. That is the extent of his "pivot to Ukraine". The optimists must understand that ignoring reality doesn't make it any less real.
Russian genocide strike on residential buildings in Lviv, Ukraine. 15 reported casualties with many people still trapped under the rubble. Russia commits genocide in plain sight, and the West is STILL pushing Ukraine to "negotiate" with the perpetrator rather than stopping genocide!
"Russia is the only state in history to seize a nuclear power plant by force — and it parks artillery there. The world’s response: appeals to ‘both sides’ for restraint. One of the sides is the hostage." So well put.
It will forever be a huge moral stain on the nations of the free world that we stood by for the first 8 YEARS of Russian aggression & genocide of Ukrainians, INSISTING that "there is no military solution to the conflict," REFUSING to provide even *defensive* military aid to Ukraine. 1/6
North Korea will be sending 30,000 more soldiers to fight with Russia against Ukraine. As I've said more times than I can count: the world's evil regimes are infinitely more devoted to their goal of destroying the rules-based order than we are to preserving it. It's SHAMEFUL.
There is active, ongoing genocide in Europe today. Russia is working to totally destroy the Ukrainian nation and exterminate the Ukrainian people. 12.5 years of Russian genocide of Ukrainians. And we expect Ukrainians to thank us for our insufficient help while we have refused to stop Russia.
Russian forces carried out 1,107 strikes on 49 towns across Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia oblast in 24 hours. Read that figure again. That is ~46 attacks per hour. That is almost one attack per minute. This is not unusual or out of the ordinary. Russia is pure evil.
