    Once Ukraine gets Harpoons, Russia leaves Snake Island as “a gesture of good will”. Once Finland enters NATO, Russia moves away its troops from the border. The world should learn from this & improve effectiveness of communication with 🇷🇺! For more good gestures from Russia!

    A few months ago, I got an email from Secretary of State Marco Rubio: our work was suspended - not in the U.S. national interest. Today, another email: congratulations to Russia on its National Day. As a Ukrainian, I got the message loud and clear.

    Sem Oblomei, 22, was working in Hryshko botanic garden in central Kyiv. He won’t be able to plant any more trees because he was killed by Russia near Severodonetsk. RIP

    Reports coming out that Russians rape children.Maybe I’m naïve, never thought it’s a possibility. In an intercepted Russian call a case is described when 3 soldiers raped a 14 year old & her mom.A volunteer from Bucha describes cases of 13 & 12 y.o.girls whose parents were killed
