Soldier wounded. Out of combat most likely. Expressed clear will to surrender. Mercy should be granted. Deploy unit to collect. He is POW at this point.
@SamRamani2
@IsraeliPM
if confirmed, totally unacceptable from a partner like Israel.
You can’t side with genocide & Evil & expect such decision to be free from consequences.
Because this have repercussions on our collective security, to us all.
@POTUS
@SecBlinken
@JustinTrudeau
@NATO
@SpencerGuard
All is possible for a free people.
For those ready to put down their very lives so that their children will never experience tyranny.
All this has an unimaginable cost.
Many failed to support the Ukrainians.
We need a massive clean up within our own institutions.
@visegrad24
The world need JUSTICE, not "tranquility", against the actions of genociders and war criminals. Shame
@LulaOficial
Clearly it is not the Brazilians who see their children being tortured, kidnapped and raped. Under constant bombardments! Totally unacceptable.
@shinkir013
@elonmusk
It’s about time. Let’s go
@SecDef
we need a reliable service with top security. And now Musk should be clearly investigated for such actions. It’s truly disturbing.
@anders_aslund
All of them, out. No secret police stations in Canada should ever be tolerated.
Enough.
This is a grave security concern.
@NATO
@AnitaAnandMP
@SecBlinken
would China tolerate this in their country, no?
Then it’s time to wake up and to play ball harder.
@JustinTrudeau
@andrewmichta
@NATO
Russia will mobilize until full exhaustion.
Fascist Russia has no value for human life. And the oligarchs & tyrants couldn’t care less.
Their hubris & thirst for domination reign supreme.
Hence why they must be defeated, hard.
And all of its proxies.
@NATO
@SecBlinken
@JHNTruthTeller
@IAPonomarenko
Are there any red lines left?
All I see is the red of Ukrainian civilian blood caused by this genocidal Russian invasion.
But agreed. This is beyond everything we saw so far, if confirmed.
@DefenceU
@SamRamani2
Just now? Why not before? Why is there still room for any “future” sanctions at this point?!
They should already be maximized to the top of all tops by now.
@Kasparov63
Pressuring Ukrainians to accept a ceasefire by which Russians can regather their strength is not good.
Worst, to pressure them to accept occupation is to capitulate on all our guiding principles in defence of free & democratic societies.
It set the worst possible precedent.
@irgarner
Yep. I mean let’s go! It’s time to neutralize Russian fascism for good.
Time to reorganize military alliances and trade exclusively among democratic allies as well.
Massive clean up required in the West. This situation exposes so much!!
@KyivIndependent
We are proud to help our friend & ally
#Ukraine
in this darkest hour.
We don’t shy away from a fight to defend our existential democratic/humanitarian values.
The Canadian-Ukrainian diaspora has been building so much of
#Canada
; our fates are intertwined.
@JustinTrudeau
@JuliaDavisNews
They try to make this like a debate now, with opposite views. Don’t be fooled: this has been Genocidal propaganda for months from solovyov, and he should be held accountable for that.
@berlin_bridge
We want Justice. No cheap concessions on the back of a genocide because some fear for their *relative* economical comfort.
This is existential for all free and open societies.
@anders_aslund
Negotiations? Over genocide? Negotiating what ? Accountability?
I see nothing but RU defeat as a definitive outcome for Justice.
For all the victims.
@mhmck
Unfbeliveable. Macron needs to understand: this is genocide & we are very close to war. We need a strong alliance to avoid more violence; this by neutralizing this genocide right off before it drags or spreads. Of course Russia will be hurt in the process. Hopefully at The Hague.
@Tendar
@markomihkelson
Let’s go!
Is that why the Pope suddenly want peace? Is their any Russian money in Vatican per any chance?
Just asking for a friend, right? But I really want to know as well. Any data?
@SecDef
We want Germany to really understand what is at stake here: fighting RU fascism as to avoid WW3. With jets, logistics, tanks and more.
Yes it will be ugly and brutal, but in no way comparable to what could be the future if Allies wait and don’t act now.
@KyivIndependent
From Canada we send our most heartfelt condolences. Eternal gratitude to that Hero who defended humanity and Ukrainians against this Genocidal regime.
@EmmanuelMacron
Les râleurs ici, prenez congé.
Rappelons que la France fut libérée des fascistes et génocidaires via les sacrifices d’autrui.
Il est tragique de voir ces commentaires qui dénigrent ce qui devrait se comprendre de soi—tout spécialement par ceux/celles qui jurèrent plus jamais.
@anders_aslund
What is the “acceptable” cost to defeat genocide and protect our existential freedom and sense of democratic order?!?
Could there ever be a price we are not ready to pay to achieve such liberation results?
@dszeligowski
@MalcolmNance
Too much Russian influence, money, propaganda it seems. This kind of pressure on
@ZelenskyyUa
to “save face” of a genocidal regime by giving up international law & sovereignty is unacceptable. Repugnant.
@EmmanuelMacron
imagine if Allies would have done this to France in WW2?
@sumlenny
@amnesty
@amnesty
this is again, unacceptable. This false equivalency and the downplaying of responsibility for this genocide that falls square on Russia, is abhorrent.
We need a change of leadership and direction now.
@KyivIndependent
Ours will be: the demilitarization of Russia and its de-putinization.
Plus trillions in war reparations to Ukraine, and Russian war criminals to The Hague.
To start. How’s that?
@FckruspidaV2
Anyone serious working with anti fascist collectives is aware of the problem of neo Nazis in Russia.
Already in the 90s Neo Nazis were looking at Russia with trepidation for they believed it could save the “White race” from already lost-because too multiethnic-Europe & America.
@apmassaro3
Right? He could have chosen the path of a hero, supporting Ukraine against a genocide.
But no,
@elonmusk
rolls from one catastrophic comment and action to the next.
It’s not too late to take a better course.
@lilygrutcher
Albania needs solid evidence of Russians being involved into this.
Then go.
If confirmed, this was an attack against a military facility of a
@NATO
member by Russia.
@ragipsoylu
Then equip the Ukrainian special forces, intelligence and air support with whatever they may need for them to breach the siege of Mariupol long enough for extraction? Would that be faisable ?
@BorisJohnson
@POTUS
negotiations have failed and we need actions.
@TreasChest
Retaliations must follow. The only way to win a war against Genociders. How long will the Ukrainians suffer because they lack weapons still?
@MansRAD
Obviously. And deep investigations of Russian infiltration or its allies in all allied countries are required.
Sources of food, energy, weapons: should all be contained within a mutually supporting network now. The world has shifted, sadly again because of a genocidal invasion.
@GloOouD
I would if I was serving.
No need to be rude.
We are not fascist Russians & thus we *try* to hold ourselves to higher standards.
I understand we may be faillible in doing so, but I believe we must encourage each other to always do our very best in humanity.
@IAPonomarenko
Seeing all of you comment make me feel less alone as we witness this horror. Thank you for being active here, even if we may feel so powerless.
@IAPonomarenko
From Canada, we thank those who did the hardest work leading to this. We salute this outcome as we set ourselves for the total liberation of
#Ukraine
. Onward!
@KyivIndependent
Hit them hard. Double down. Deliver weapons en mass to UKR. Send the Royal Navy right in? Put pressure on Syria via proxies? Crush and disarm the genociders. Support Finland & Sweden.
And France & Germany are in no position to be mediators. Why? Because we don’t trust them.
@lesiavasylenko
The way I see it:
#Russia
out of all Ukraine, war reparations in trillions, and Russian war criminals to The Hague.
Or we have failed Justice, the UN charter and the principle of bare minimum “proportionate” accountability for this ongoing genocide.
@juliavkril
From Canada, 100% standing up with Ukraine. We don’t give any credence to Russian propaganda, appeasers, disguised agents, trolls.
Like a tsunami, Russia will be held accountable by Allies, disarmed, de-putinized. It is now existential for all open societies & true democracies.
@SamRamani2
Tell Markov it didn’t end well for German fascist after WW2; it will end the same for Russian fascists after WW3.
For mostly the same reasons.
@IuliiaMendel
Bring war to Russia then? And neutralize the entire federation? Because Ukranians won’t stop, nor Allies.
Russia has only two ways out of this:
—losing to Ukraine and retreat: Putin going down
—losing it all, and no more Russia: Putin going down
@IAPonomarenko
Don’t we dare tell Ukraine what it needs to “compromise” while they are still burying their kids.
Ukrainians will let us know what and when peace is acceptable to them.
Meanwhile our job is to support them.
All the way.
@Pontifex
I’m seriously considering muting the Pope due to its lack of commitment on JUSTICE for Ukraine.
Peace rhetoric when Russia is starting to lose? Too little to late.
Forced annexions and genocide require the dismantling and demilitarization of fascist & Genocidal Russia.
