Great moment . .
Awkward moment in UN Security Council just now. Ukraine FM asked members to stand for a moment of silence in memory of lives lost to Russian aggression. Russian diplomats refused to stand saying they will only do so if it is in memory of all victims since 2014. Watch the rest.

As pointed out by me again and again. The war in Ukraine started on Feb 16. Russia responded 8 days later by preempting the Ukrainian ground assault on Donbas.
On Feb 15, the OSCE recorded 41 ceasefire violations as Kiev’s forces began shelling Donbas. Feb 16: 76 violations.Feb 17: 316.Feb 18: 654.Feb 19: 1,413.Feb 20-21: 2,026.Feb 22: 1,484.…virtually all by the Kiev side. Feb 24: Russian forces intervene

Reminder:.Soldiers of the Army of the Russian Federation are NOT allowed to carry or use mobile phones. The policy is strongly enforced on all levels. Despite that the Ukrainian Secret Service has published many "Russian phone calls" with lots of nonsense.
Exclusive: The New York Times obtained intercepted calls made by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, including damning accounts of the execution of civilians. Hear the audio.

Ukraine's previous President, Poroshenko, and his policy on Donbass: "We will have jobs—they will not. We will have pensions—they will not. [. ] Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the basements (cellars).".
Bomb shelter. This is how it looks when Ukrainian kids visit their father at work in the evening, but Russian terrorists fire another batch of missiles. Not just mine, but all Ukrainian kids live like that. Ukraine needs air and missile defense systems. We need them here and now.

This is unreal. The EU does not have 'fighter jets', member states have. You can't just provide jets. It takes years to train pilots and ground personal on jet type. If you provide all three (jets, pilots, ground) you are at war with Russia.

This tells you who the real boss is. It shows that the U.S. could, if it wanted, stop the Zionist assault on the Gaza ghetto at any minute.
Shutting off communications in Gaza was an explicit decision by the Israelis -- one that was reversed after pressure from the United States, says a senior U.S. official. “We made it clear they had to be turned back on" and "need to stay back on.” Via @ClaireParkerDC in Egypt

Bucha was completely 'liberated' from Russians on Friday March 31. How did it take 4 days to 'find dead bodies' in its streets?.
Photo, believed to be in Bucha, about 20 miles NW of Kyiv. Shows at least 9 dead men, civilian dress, several have hands tied behind their backs. Those are the facts. Anything more is speculation. No need to post the photo of someone’s dad, son, brother .

They thought that Starlink would be always available. Too bad that the Russians know a bit about electromagnetic warfare. Without Starlink Ukraine's command and control of its forces ceases to exist.
Evidently the Starlink system is down over the front lines of Ukraine. @elonmusk should make a statement about this, or, this should be investigated. This is a national security issue.

Folks, the guy is a professional in the movie industry. He is quite good at creating 'realities' that do not exists. He is bad at about anything else. Stop following his PR gimmicks and take a look at his regime's results.
Incredible. Zelensky visited frontline Ukrainian positions near Lysychansk, west of Severodonetsk. That area of Luhansk region—the last under Kyiv control—has seen heavy fighting around the clock in recent weeks. He was briefed on the situation and handed out awards to soldiers.

1. Twitter isn't available in Iran. 2. Whoever tweets in Farsi will likely therefore have little original echo. 3. MEK, Saudi and Pentagon 'information warfare' bots are way more frequent on Twitter than real Iranians.

So Ukrainians wanted to move to Russian controlled region and were shelled. Ukraine claims, and the NYT repeats, that the Russia side shelled them. If you believe that please make an offer for this nice bridge I have on sale.
A Russian missile strike on Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, killed at least 25 civilians and injured about 50. The strike hit a convoy of cars waiting to be allowed into Russian-occupied territory to pick up relatives and deliver aid, the city's governor said.

In trench wars, like currently in Ukraine, some 75% of casualties are caused by artillery. Russia has a 10:1 advantage in artillery (ElPais). Only a dimwit could promote and believe those 'U.S. figures'.
US figures for the #RussiaUkraineWar so far: #Ukraine has between 100,000-120,000 casualties and between 16,000-17,500 KIA. On the #Russian side: 200,000 casualties and 35,500-43,500 KIA. @ChristopherJM @FT.

For all those forgotten pledges see here:. Declassified documents show security assurances against NATO expansion to Soviet leaders from Baker, Bush, Genscher, Kohl, Gates, Mitterrand, Thatcher, Hurd, Major, and Woerner.
You don't have to endorse Russia's invasion to recognize how it could have been avoided: US upholding 1990 pledge to halt NATO expansion; Ukraine upholding Minsk II Accords it signed in 2015. Upholding prior pledges is one path to ending this war. Another is more catastrophe.

The Ukraine has mined the approaches to the port and it prohibits foreign ships there from leaving it.
If ports in the #Odesa region do not open up immediately, two things will happen: . First, we're going to have agricultural collapse across #Ukraine. Second, famines will be looming all over the world. Food needs to move, ports must reopen and this needs to happen NOW.

Here are 40 links to 'western' media reports which back then called out the Nazis only to forget about them now. "Media Are Now Whitewashing Nazis They Had Previously Condemned".
Whatever your views on Ukraine, the war and the US role: it's just amazing that the Western press -- which spent a full decade in unison calling the Azov Battalion neo-Nazi fanatics -- now speak of them in admiring terms and will only say that their Nazism is a "Russian claim.".

Five days later . .
A few thoughts about Russia's war on Ukraine:.1. The Russians have spent a lot of resources to seize Severodonetsk to little military benefit. The much higher located Lysychansk is far more important & better fortified. Ukraine is not likely to give it up or lose much there.
