#Russia uses drones made by #Iran to destroy civilian infrastructure and murder civilians in Ukraine. Yet, Ukraine does not declare war on Iran.
So why is NATO afraid of Ukraine using its weapons to strike military targets in Russia? Is NATO really such a cowardly bunch that they fear a Russian attack? Something doesn't sound right.
#NATO needs to grow up. Stop giving Russia sanctuary. Give #Ukraine long-range missiles and let the Ukrainian army strike where the #RussianWarCrimes come from.
Medvedev threatens Russia will seize more Ukrainian regions
Medvedev claimed Russia’s war will continue until the Ukrainian government is “completely destroyed” and the "original Russian territories are liberated from the enemy."
"International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts have observed directional anti-personnel #mines on the periphery of the site of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya #Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today.
During a walkdown on 23 July, the #IAEA team saw some mines located in a buffer zone between the site’s internal and external perimeter barriers."
Does a country that invades other states, bombs & murders civilians in hospitals, residential areas and kidnaps children BELONG in the UN Security council?
Evidence grows of explosion at collapsed Ukraine dam
Evidence was growing on Friday that there was an explosion at the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine around the time it collapsed, according to Ukrainian and U.S. intelligence reports and seismic data from Norway.
Ukraine's security service said it had intercepted a telephone call proving a Russian "sabotage group" blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric station and dam early on Tuesday in the Kherson region.
Norway's research foundation Norsar said that data collected from regional seismic stations showed clear signals of an explosion.
And U.S. spy satellites detected an explosion at the dam, a U.S. official was quoted as saying by the New York Times.
Russia's 🤡 Dmitry Medvedev suggested Saturday that Moscow may annex more regions of #Ukraine, as he marked one year since the #Kremlin claimed four #Ukrainian territories as its own.
🇷🇺 #Prigozhin says that 32,000 former prisoners have returned home after fighting in #Ukraine with his #Wagner Group military cartel. He says their recidivism rate is “80 times lower” than that among other prisoners released during Russia’s invasion.
Just a bit of a context of immense suffering and imminent death, unleashed on thousands and thousands of animals, with the blow up of #Kakhovka dam in #Ukraine.
Ukraine criticises Poland over "unfriendly and populist" grain ban
Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, has accused Warsaw of “unfriendly and populist” actions after Poland and four other eastern member states called on the European Union to extend their ban on Ukrainian grain imports.
"evidence indicates that the dam was blown up from the inside... by the #Russian forces occupying it. In one stroke, they unleashed epic floods on #Ukraine and an ensuing drought that... brought a stunning level of destruction to the #environment, the #economy and the lives of civilians already enduring the hardships of #war
UN chief condemns Russian attacks on Ukraine ports
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned on Thursday Russian attacks on Ukraine's Black Sea ports and warned the "destruction of civilian infrastructure may constitute a violation of international humanitarian law."
🇷🇺 🇺🇦 A Russian missile attack on an educational institution in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa on Monday killed four people and injured 28, local officials said.
🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Russian forces appear to have executed at least 15 Ukrainian soldiers as they attempted to surrender, and possibly six more who were surrendering or who had surrendered, since early December 2023, Human Rights Watch said today. These incidents should be investigated as war crimes.
ruSSian Nazi murderers and war criminals have hit strategically highly important target in Kharkiv - a hobby market!, with more than 200 people inside, killing at least two. I call upon president Biden and other leaders of NATO countries to lift the ban on striking ruSSian territory with western weapons!
♲ @mlansbury@despora.de:> ## Opinion: The West should launch a new economic Cold War against Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to revive the Soviet Union, but two can play this game. To complete the Kremlin’s grotesque historical reenactment, the West should launch a new economic Cold War in response.
In addition to the war of aggression waged against the civilians and cities of Ukraine, Russia has also waged an asymmetrical economic war against the global economy and the international trade system that underpins it.
Russia’s #weaponization of trade, particularly of energy supplies, has caused massive disruptions in international markets and triggered a cascade of economic setbacks globally.
🇷🇺 🇺🇦 During #Russia’s occupation of Kherson, dozens of Ukrainian children were taken into Russian custody and transferred 180 miles from home. A year later, the NYT journalists found their photos on a Russian federal adoption site.
