Unless Russia pays for its intentional and serial war crimes in Ukraine (and Chechnya, and Syria, etc.) the idea of just war and the power of the Geneva Conventions will lie in ruins, like countless Ukrainian hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and apartment blocks.
Russia just going more and more brutal feeling impunity, committing more atrocities. Double-tap Shahed attack on a city hospital in Sumy. At least 7 killed and dozens injured. The hospital was full of patients.

BREAKING!!! The U.S. House is set to pass H.R. 7668, the Countering China’s Control of the Caucasus Act tonight The bill reflects a growing anxiety in Washington that the Georgian Dream party is drifting into an orbit controlled by the United States' primary adversaries.

“Deep concern” again? Russia deliberately targets spent nuclear fuel storage in Chornobyl while debate is still about “how far Putin can go”. As far as you let him.

It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.

Oh God. Russian strike on Yampil, Sumy region. Two people killed, four more injured. Russia is deliberately hurting Ukrainian civilians wherever and whenever it can.

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night. Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit. Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers. I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

Kyiv is burning. Four killed in Kyiv, six in Dnipro. Dozens injured. Homes, offices, and businesses hit. How is Russia still able to terrorize European capital night after night while Ukraine is still asking for more air defense? I have no words.

This gives a glimpse of what another night of Russian attacks looks like in Kyiv: More than 41,000 people took shelter in the metro overnight, including 4,500 children. This is the highest number recorded in recent years.

This was the inevitable result of the Administration’s approach to the war, which was based on willful ignorance of the causes of the war and which used leverage against the victim while rewarding the aggressor. Having the US out of the way is, on balance, a benefit to Ukraine.

⚡️ BREAKING: US halts Ukraine peace talks “We were the only ones both Russians and Ukrainians were willing to talk to. So we got involved. Unfortunately, it didn’t yield results. That’s the point,” — said Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio added that Washington will return to negotiations only if the dynamics change, and noted: “If someone else wants to take this on — please, be my guest.”

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv. I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information. All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality. Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity. There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus. Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us. One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
55 Russian missiles and 549 drones were intercepted or suppressed over Ukraine overnight. In addition, 19 Russian missiles likely failed to reach their targets, Ukraine’s Air Force added, noting that the information is still being clarified. According to preliminary data, impacts from 16 missiles and 51 drones were recorded across 54 locations, while falling debris was reported at 23 locations. 📹 Kyiv this morning

Your periodic reminder that Russia uses war crimes as an instrument of its military strategy in Ukraine.
Hellish night in Kyiv. Didn’t know if I’d wake up. When there’s nothing on the battlefield, Russia wages war on market stalls and apartment blocks, murdering people in their sleep.

Marco Rubio is right @SecRubio
No U.S. President should be able to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval. Thankful my colleagues in Congress passed this bipartisan measure.

While Christians set their Easter tables, Ukraine is repelling 700 Russian drones. Zelensky proposed a ceasefire. Russia answered with more attacks. Anyone here still buying their peace talks?

I don’t usually say this, but today I’m just drained. Six air raid alerts in one day. Russia’s MiGs taking off every second hour, just enough to disrupt any normal life. This is why Ukrainians have come to hate the word “resilience.”

And even on “Europe’s economic periphery” they all have per capita GDPs far higher than Russia’s. 🇷🇺 - $13,817 🇱🇹 - $27,786 🇱🇻- $22,503 🇪🇪 $30,133
Russia is totally not interested in any territorial conquest beyond Ukraine.
