"Telling the truth is unhelpful"

US votes against #UN resolution over language on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. Another new low for the US regime.

Jonathan Shrier, acting US representative to the UN Economic and Social Council, said Washington opposed it because of repeated statements about the war in Ukraine that the U.S. considers “unhelpful in advancing the cause of peace.”

@mike805 @Samqi @joewo IMHO if #Russia didn't "#debate" the #independence and #souvereignity of the #baltics, #Finland as well as wanting to #genocide #Ukraine, neither Finland nor Sweden nor Estonia, Latvia or Livland would've joined #NATO on their own terms!

@Samqi@chaos.social @kkarhan@infosec.space @joewo@mastodon.social Appears there was no formal treaty. Germany and America let (post-Soviet) Russia believe there would be no NATO expansion. Also let Ukraine believe they would be protected. Ukraine should have kept a few warheads. Many of them were built in Ukraine so there would be retired people who knew which wires to cross to bypass any safeties, if it came to that.

So who’s guaranteeing Europe’s security now?

As time goes by it looks like Ukrainians are the ones ensuring Europe’s survival, even if we aren’t ensuring theirs.

Kryvyi Rih… Sumy… Donetsk
Putin's peace strategy: not a day without a war crime on civilians.

The scenes out of Sumy are truly horrific. Two ballistic missiles into the heart of the city killed 34 civilians and 117+ wounded more on Palm Sunday.

Unforgivable.

Advocate against this accused war criminal. Demand that Putin be brought to The Hague to face charges of war crimes.

Ukrainska Pravda

Another war crime of Russia is a ballistic strike on Sumy, killing 34 civilian Ukrainians. Horrifically wounding 117 peaceful Ukrainians. A lot of people went to churches on Palm Sunday, many participating in Palm Sunday services.

Another proof of the godlessness of the disgusting cursed Moscow. It is already known that the criminal strike on Sumy by two ballistic missiles type "Iskander-M" / KN-23 were made by Russian calculations of the 112th and 448th missile brigades from the territory of Voronezh & kurskoí̈ regions of the aggressor state respectively. This is Putin's genocide against Ukrainians. After his photo op with Witkoff Putin sent these ballistic missiles to mass murder peaceful Ukrainians. Putin doesn't want peace.

It’s our common cause to ensure that no war criminal — from ordermakers to rocket launchers — escapes retaliation.

Щирі співчуття рідним загиблих.

Only bastards can act like this. Taking the lives of ordinary people. On the holy day Willow Sunday. Putin decided to kill them. Indescribable pain...

Putin's ballistic missile strike killed 34 people in the attack, and at least 117 were injured, including eleven children in Ukrainian city of Sumy this morning. All are civilians. The actual number of victims may be higher.💔Sorrow. People are crying over the bodies of the dead. There are no words. Putin doesn't want peace.

Putin's army are cold-blooded killers. This is a deliberate targeted attack on civilians after talks with US 'envoy' Witkoff. The message: Putin doesn't want peace.

Speak up for Ukrainians.
