The russians attack residential houses at night/early morning when ppl are home. They struck the mall in daylight during shopping time. Attacked the railway station amidst the large evacuation flows. Hit drama theater after rushing ppl to shelter there #RussiaIsATerroristState

The U.S. has identified at least 18 sites set up by Russia to detain and forcibly deport Ukrainian civilians to Russia. Moscow appeared to have made preparations for the so-called filtration camps even before its forces invaded Ukraine. nytimes.com/live/2022/07/0…

By confessing dreams to grab more Ukrainian land, Russian Foreign Minister proves that Russia rejects diplomacy and focuses on war and terror. Russians want blood, not talks. I call on all partners to step up sanctions pressure on Russia and speed up arms deliveries to Ukraine.

Why not peace with Hitler? Arm Britain and prolong the war

Intercepted phone calls made by Russian soldiers during the first days of the Ukraine invasion, obtained by The New York Times, provide damning accounts of battlefield failures, contempt for leadership and the execution of civilians. Our new investigation: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Meanwhile on Russia's state-funded RT, director of broadcasting Anton Krasovsky suggests drowning or burning Ukrainian children, makes hideous comments about the rapes by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, says Ukraine should not exist and Ukrainians who resist Russia should be shot.

Kherson is Ukraine

Russia is hitting peaceful Ukrainian cities with deadly missiles. Apartment buildings, energy infrastructure facilities are being hit. Looking forward to a principled reaction of G20 Brasil summit. And please avoid “calling on both sides”. Take the side of people, not war criminals.

Kyiv is without electricity and internet. This is our university now. We have independent generators and satellites internet. People come from the street to get warm and power up their devices. I have just helped to walk in a school teacher and get her some tea from our cafe

Good evening. Day 279. It has been a week since the latest Russian attack in Kyiv. And, thus, another one is coming soon. We must prepare. I am president of the KSE and this is what we have done to be ready (picture: a Jewish restaurant downtown Kyiv) 1/

Sick, revolting Russian games.

Russians have committed outrageous, evil acts in Ukraine. Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine. But Russians carried out his heinous , barbaric orders. This is not just Putin’s war. This is Russians’ war.

Sanctions against Kremlin do work, but it's important that the West continues to be persistent in closing the loopholes that allow smuggling of the sanctioned goods to Russia. Very thorough analysis of the current state of affairs from FT: ft.com/content/6c01e8…

Do sanctions on Russia work? Why should reluctant countries join the sanction coalition? And why the Davos focus on AI, fintech, climate change etc, and a sort of optimism that this war is contained are misplaced? I spoke in Davos on these questions. Here is the thread. 1/

A horrific video of Russian troops decapitating a Ukrainian prisoner of war is circulating online. It’s absurd that Russia, which is worse than ISIS, is presiding over the UNSC. Russian terrorists must be kicked out of Ukraine and the UN and be held accountable for their crimes.

This should be a screaming wake up call for Europe to act faster to stop Russia once and for all. Contaminated waters and war-induced pollution do not care about administrative borders and will be carried well beyond Ukraine's territory.

Imagine. You’re a professional journalist. You work at a publication with a long history of failings in its reporting of Ukraine by russia correspondents who repeat the russian imperial perspective. Your paper has acknowledged these failings, but even recently published a front

For those in town making choices on security assistance to Ukraine, if you need more reasons, then I have a warning to share with you about the Kremlin. I feel that I have a duty to warn. /1

Ukraine is starved of ammunition and forced to pull back, Europe is facing challenges which might test Article 5, and global instability emerges because autocrats are emboldened by Russia's action and our cautious response. This is not pessimism. This is fact. 🧵

The writing was on the wall already at the Vilnius Summit in July 2023. A bit later, a scandalous story in BILD about a "secret plan" between Berlin and Washington had suggested that the Biden-Sullivan and Scholz-Ploetner-Schmidt administrations had already decided, behind
