Yesterday's Russian attack on the #Kharkiv region, which killed and injured people, destroyed a printing press and burned 50,000 books, shows that Russia is at war with humanity and all aspects of normal life.
Russian terrorists kill adults and children, destroy cities and villages, leaving scorched spots where normal life once was. Another day of Putin's genocide... 8 killed and dozens wounded in this atrack. Please, speak up for Ukrainians. They need our help. 🙏

Citing four Russian sources: Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to stop the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire recognizing the current battle lines.
Is this anything new? Putin gets rewarded for his land grab, rebuilds, then tries again in a few years?
Donald #Trump again claimed #Russia would not have launched its full-scale invasion of #Ukraine if he had won a second term in office.
Speaking during his first rally in New York in eight years on May 23, the former president also said he would have prevented #Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on #Israel and the ensuing war in #Gaza that followed.
As news agencies are hyping the news that “Putin wants negotiations on the current front line”, please note this not any news. Really - if you search the phrase “признать реалии на земле” (recognize the realities on the ground), you will see it goes well back into 2023 in Kremlin statements and repeated nearly every month since. This is the phrase that #Russia uses when they refer to negotiations where #Ukraine is expected to recognize Russia’s territorial conquests.
Please, do not blindly follow the media induced amnesia where any old news can be recycled into a “exclusive news” clickbait…
Dangerous liaisons: New details of Latvian MEP Tatjana Ždanoka’s espionage for Russia
Tatjana Ždanoka, an MEP from Latvia, was one of the delegates sent to Kyiv. But she did not report her findings to other legislators from the European Parliament. Instead, she sent a confidential report to her FSB handler Sergey Beltyukov, stating her view that anti-Yanukovych demonstrators, already two months in, were unlikely to disband in the near future. Three days before the trip to Kyiv, Ždanoka traveled to St. Petersburg and met Beltyukov, who had waited for her at the airport.

They perform for Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines. They’re performing across the US to show their thanks for America's continued support for Ukraine. '

An extremely brutal Russian attack on Kharkiv and Lyubotyn. According to preliminary data, Russia launched 15 missiles at once. Unfortunately, there are casualties. Emergency services have already arrived at the scene of the attacks, and all those injured will receive the necessary assistance.
Russian terrorists are taking advantage of Ukraine's lack of sufficient air defense protection and reliable capability to destroy terrorist launchers at their exact locations, which are close to our borders. And this weakness is not ours, but the world's, which has not dared to deal with terrorists in the way they deserve for three years.
Terror must lose everywhere, under any conditions, and on all continents. This is our shared responsibility—that of everyone in the world who has the ability to protect life from terror. Ukraine is doing everything it can. I am grateful to everyone who is helping us. But we need more determination, especially from world leaders.
