This night, 34 Russian missiles targeted Ukraine. We managed to intercept a portion of them. However, the world has all of the resources to assist us in intercepting every missile and drone fired by Russian terrorists. This is completely doable. All that is required is for the…

At least, two murdered, including an 8yo kid, and 15 injured in Dnipro, multiple damage to civilian infrastructure in the city and the region. This is the cost of inaction

Dnipro… there are killed and injured. Including children. Russia feels emboldened and acts in full impunity, escalating every day. Ukraine urgently needs more air defence

Finally, mainstream Western media is talking about Russia's program kidnapping whole schools of Ukrainian kids.

Goal of the program is to get kids to Russia, away from families, to train in becoming cannon fodder for Putin's war against NATO.

The West really needs to wake up.

Mariupol had a population of half a million, like Toulouse, Bologna or Miami before Russia razed it to the ground. Kharkiv at 1.5m is the size of Munich & Prague. Aleppo was even bigger before Putin helped Assad destroy it. The West is worried more about hypothetical escalation…

For heaven's sake, how can this be allowed to go on? That western countries have the air defence systems Ukraine needs, but keep hold of them while Russia steps up its terror attacks on Ukrainian cities is unforgivable. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

My heart bleeds for Chernihiv. 13 dead, 60 wounded, including two kids, more people might still be trapped under the rubble, the Interior Ministry reports.

Not giving Ukraine tools for self-defence is not escalation management. It's escalation encouragement

Town by town, village by village cease to exist when russkiy mir arrives. Mariupol, Volnovakha, Popasna, Lyman, Rubizhne, Siverodonetsk, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka. Now Chasiv Yar.

While some armchair experts tell you 'russia is willing to negotiate,' they're merely buying putin time

The Israeli military either took part in or did not protect Palestinians from violent settler attacks in the occupied West Bank that have displaced people from 20 communities and have entirely uprooted at least 7 communities since October 7.

No, we Ukrainians don't get why terrorists' missiles in the Middle East are shot down, while just the same terrorists' missiles in Europe are let to kill & destroy freely. What a shameful display of NATO's fears. Does Europe seriously hope to be safe in case Ukraine loses?

On Russia’s relentless attacks on Ukraine & some frustration in Kyiv👇🏼

I find myself at a loss for how to process the events unfolding each day. Every morning, I wake up to the grim updates of what Russia has destroyed while I slept: the number of casualties, the sites of attacks—hospitals, ambulances, schools—no place is sacred.

Then i go online…

The US, UK & France had the military capacity, political will & urgency to help down over 300 missiles fired at .
They have zero excuses left. ’s allies can & should shoot down Russian missiles over 🇺🇦 airspace & the Black Sea.

Zelensky's frustration is fully understandable. Ukraine is being badly let down. Fighting for their own survival, Ukrainians are dying for the security of us all. We owe them more than empty words.

The US & NATO refused to protect the skies over Ukraine claiming that this would put them in a state of war with Russia.

Does the US & UK downing of Iranian drones and missiles signify that the US and UK are in a state of war against Iran?

Double standard?
