Just fucking image how many people they have executed in Mariupol. In my Volnovakha, and all those cities and towns Russia razed to the ground.

A regime that is committing outright aggressive wars of conquest, city bombings, mass execution of civilians, is having a veto right and is a permanent member at the United Nations Security Council. The whole system must be reformed, and Russia must be downgraded and punished.

Here's the thing. Putin has for years been rehabilitating Stalin as a great leader and excusing (or in fact suppressing knowledge of) his crimes. Stalin had many thousands of Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians killed during his occupation of their countries in 1939-41. /1

We still publish pictures of concentration camps and the victims of the Nazis, not just so that such crimes are not forgotten, not just so that they don't happen again, but because we know that unless we act they *will* happen again.

Today is Ramadan. Easter is coming soon, then spring break. Murdered Ukrainian children don’t fit with vacation planning. Ukraine still must save millions of kids. The army stands strong despite everything. We refuse to give up and we need support with heavy weapons.

"We still hold Mariupol, but the enemy has partially gained a foothold in the city. We are besieged, no resources come here but we can live on motivation w/o food for long. The main problems are human resources and anti-tank weapons"–Azov's Chief of Staff https://

Bulgaria has 350 T-72s in storage, according to its military modernisation plan. Seems like an obvious candidate for transfer – who is Bulgaria ever likely to fight? https://
