sergey mironov, a 73-year-old russian politician, illegally adopted a Ukrainian girl from #Kherson in 2022.

Her older sister remains in #Ukraine, and her guardians are trying to reunite the sisters.

mironov altered the child’s identity, erasing her Ukrainian heritage. The forced transfer of children is a war crime, and this must not be forgotten.

"Do negotiations w/the US always end w/missiles hitting the capital?"

And this is how it ends...

W/Russia using the example of Trump's "negotiations" w/ #Iran ending in bombs on Tehran as a pretext for ending negotiations w/US re #Ukraine.

Which makes no sense since Trump just removed sanctions on Russia.

So... Wink, wink DJT.

Good job giving #Russia what it wants - again.

Russians say Iran attack shows U.S. can’t be trusted in Ukraine talks

As Washington focuses on its push to topple Iran’s government, delaying talks on Russia’s war in Ukraine, some in Moscow say the Kremlin must achieve its goals militarily.

#Russia grinding gains in #Donestk in east offset by #Ukraine liberating territory in #Zaporizhzhia in south

Russia seized 0.8% of Ukraine last year, but still occupies less territory than it did in June 2022

As Russia continues striking Ukraine’s energy system in subzero temperatures, photographs from Kyiv capture life in the freezing capital

As Russia continues striking Ukraine’s energy system in subzero temperatures, photographs from Kyiv capture life in the freezing capital

Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure have left thousands of homes across Ukraine without electricity or heat this winter. Attacks on February 12 left roughly a quarter of Kyiv’s high-rise apartment buildings in the cold; as of February 16, about 500 buildings in the capital were still without heat, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Although Russia’s war continues to make headlines internationally, few people outside the country truly understand what it takes to survive in subzero temperatures without modern amenities. Meduza shares excerpts from letters from our Ukrainian readers, accompanied by a photo series shot in Kyiv in late January. Together, they capture not only the harsh conditions Ukrainians face but also their feelings of exhaustion, despair, and fragile hope as the full-scale war enters its fifth year.
