The aftermath of a Russian ballistic attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv. This is genocide. We have a moral and legal duty to stop genocide!
What surviving Russian strikes looks like. There is no justice great enough for Russian crimes in Ukraine.
Humanitarian military mission to protect Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine NOW!!!
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?"
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?
This devastation is just a small portion of Russian destruction of the MANY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Ukrainian books. Russia's physical destruction of Ukrainian texts started with public book burnings in Russia-occupied Crimea, Ukraine in 2014. 4/6
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
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.
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.
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:
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.
Yet another horrendous Russian genocide attack against Ukrainians in Sumy. The genocidal barbarians used guided aerial bombs to destroy houses, injuring adults and children alike.
In Russia-occupied Ukraine, Ukrainians risk their lives for speaking Ukrainian. They are persecuted for their ethnicity. In EU & NATO member Poland,Ukrainians are being persecuted for their ethnicity, beaten to the point of hospitalization for speaking Ukrainian or Polish with a Ukrainian accent.
Romania has shot down Russian drones in its airspace in two separate incidents within 24 hours. And Russia has NOT responded. No nuclear weapons deployed. The fear of "nuclear Armageddon" for shooting down Russian drones and missiles in Ukraine is exposed for the bullshit it is.
Another day, another incident in Poland against Ukrainians for being Ukrainian. A Polish woman on a bus in Warsaw ceaselessly harassed two Ukrainian women and a child for being Ukrainian. . And then hear the group of guys spout their filth at the end.
Ukrainian soldiers marching in parades in Paris and Brussels (photo below) is great, but what would be infinitely more meaningful is soldiers of NATO nations shooting down unmanned (!!!) Russian missiles and drones in Ukrainian airspace where these weapons have absolutely no legal right to be.
This is the capital city of Ukraine facing hours of Russian genocidal bombardment. The rest of Europe sleeps soundly.
In Warsaw, a man refused to buy a scooter from a store because the salesperson spoke with a Ukrainian accent. "Are a xenophobe, sir?" "Yes."
This is absolutely out of control. ANOTHER hate crime in Poland against a Ukrainian. In Płock, a 15 year old Ukrainian boy was attacked on a bus because he was speaking Ukrainian with a friend. Police are investigating. www.tvp.info/94409312/plo...
Total devastation across Kyiv in Russia's largest attack ever on the city. These burning buildings are residential. Damn Russia to hell for its war and genocide on Ukrainians. And shame on the West for not stopping Russian genocide as legal duty dictates.
A number of people have told me that there is no real issue with hate crimes against Ukrainians in Poland. Well, facts from Poland's National Police Headquarters tell a different story. 1/6 united24media.com/world/anti-u...
While Ukraine defends ALL of the free world from fascist Russia, it is a big deal that the EU LOANS Ukraine money for Ukrainian AND European defence. We are supposed to fulfill our legal obligation to STOP Russian genocide of Ukrainians, not issue loans.
European Court of Human Rights to hold hearing in September on disappearance of Ukrainian children from Crimean care institutions in 2014 after Russian invasion of Ukraine. Too bad no one is calling this by its name: Russian genocide of Ukrainians. www.echr.coe.int/w/ukrainian-...
Poland's extremist, anti-Ukrainian president Nawrocki is stirring more ethnic hatred against Ukrainians in Poland. These detestable hate crimes against Ukrainians - like against this remarkably composed girl!! - cannot go unanswered by Warsaw or the EU.
The children's ride "Oreshnik" has opened in St. Petersburg amusement park. The Oreshnik missile is a long range intercontinental missile which Russia currently uses against Ukraine.
In the EU Parliament's report on Ukraine's progress towards EU membership, Hungary was specifically called on to STOP vetoing the opening of negotiating clusters & to cease using Ukraine’s EU membership prospect in domestic politics & political campaigning. www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...
