⚡️Zelensky: “If the invasion continues, and Russia is not stopping, a new sanction package is needed.”
“A boycott of Russian export, refusal to buy Russian oil & petroleum products. You can call it an embargo or a moral thing to do, when you refuse to give money to terrorists.”

Odessa Opera House: 1942 and 2022
Same sandbags, same hedgehogs (anti-tank obstacles). Scenes from history we thought we would never witness again :(

I'm confused - Russia stating they will try and make a 3rd attempt of a ceasefire. The first 2 were undone by themselves! Shooting at innocent civilians is devil like. Any credibility they had on the World stage is completely shot. It may take 50 years plus to gain trust again.

⚡️Zelensky: “During the night, Russia hit Mykolayiv, residential areas, using rocket artillery. They hit Kharkiv, neighbourhoods, they hit other cities too.”
“This had zero sense from a military standpoint, it’s simply terror.”

Today at The Hague, Ukraine presents its argument against Russia under the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Russian delegation has chosen to ignore the public hearing, but the process goes on without their presence.

In fairness, I was going there to call him a Cunt.

According to maps published by the RIA news agency, the corridors will only allow civilians to head for non-Ukrainian territories, with the corridor from Kyiv leading to Belarus, while civilians from Kharkiv will only be permitted to go only to Russia.
Russia will also mount an airlift to take Ukrainians from Kyiv to Russia, the country’s defence ministry said.
A spokesperson for the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, told Reuters the move was “completely immoral”, adding that Russia was trying to “use people’s suffering to create a television picture”.

Don't invest money in the Russian stock market or the ruble. Stick with safer and more reliable investments, like gambling at the roulette table or buying lottery tickets.

We have relatives and friends living in St. Petersburg. Some of them, now out of work, took part in the protests, and some of them were arrested. They are currently trying to fight a 4-year prison term as part of the new law restricting certain discussions of the invasion.

The cynic in me sees this evactuation plan by Russia into Russia as a ploy by Putin to get a high number of Ukranians into Russia territory, have some sort of incident happen that they can say the Ukranian government did it.
