Invader Russia is bombarding Kharkiv with rockets relentlessly and without mercy. The enemy is striking civilians on a massive scale.
Think about your home, your family, when you see these images. Then decide what to do. #StandWithUkraine
Chernihiv after Russian shelling. The city is in the north of Ukraine.
Trying to save lives in Mariupol. Not always succeeding. Tears.

There is a special place in hell for the Russian aggressors who did this.

To those who say we should not unite with Ukrainians to defeat the Russian invasion of Europe: where do you draw the line?

If it's not at the Dnipro River is it at the Vistula? the Oder? the Rhine? the Seine?

If it's not 10 thousand dead Europeans is it 100 thousand? a million?
I argued for years that we should help Ukrainians defeat Russia on the Siverskyi Donets River/Kalmius River line in Donbas. But it's too late for that now.
That Ukraine remains, to this day, the only fighting defender of Western civilization against the Russian barbarians is astonishing.

Hungary refuses to allow weapons to transit its territory to go to Ukraine. The Orbán regime, a proxy for the Putin regime, is complicit in war crimes being committed by aggressor Russia.

Hungary must be expelled from NATO now.

Ukraine must be admitted to NATO now.
I've tracked the alignment of the Orbán regime with the Putin regime since #RussiaInvadedUkraine in 2014.

Hungary advances its imperialist ambitions in Zakarpattia, Ukraine by exploiting the Hungarian-speaking minority there.

Hungary blocks Ukraine-NATO and Ukraine-EU meetings.
Hungarians are not the same as the Orbán regime. Belarusians are certainly not the same as the Lukashenka regime.

But the current leadership of Hungary and Belarus determines how those states behave. It's not good, when it comes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine
We’re marching to City Hall. I can’t recall a bigger anti-war demo in Ottawa. Путін Хуйло!
Laurier Avenue is filled with people, stretching for a dozen blocks. It’s a small thing in the enormity of Russia’s war, but I’m proud of my city.

Shelling by Russian forces invading Ukraine today damaged houses in Novohnativka, Trudivske, Hranitne, Mykolayivka, Maryinka, Vodyane, Pisky, Opytne, Vrubivka, Stanytsya Luhanska, Artema, Slavne, Zolote, Katerynivka and Krasnohorivka.
Educational institutions were destroyed by Russian forces: an elementary school in Maryinka, a preschool in Stanytsya Luhanska, and a high school in Vrubivka.
Russian shelling destroyed civilian infrastructure: a bridge a Hranitne, the power supply to Nevelske, the gas pipeline to Luhanske, a warehouse in Krasnohorivka, and the water pumping station at Vasylivka which cut off water to dozens of settlements.

On February 19th Russian forces invading Ukraine opened fire 136 times. Most of the attacks – 116 of them – were bombardments with large-calibre artillery.

Two Ukrainian soldiers were killed in action; five more were wounded in action.

#RussiaInvadedUkraine exactly 8 years ago.
Particularly cynical was the attack by the Russians on the civilian "safe crossing" checkpoint at Shchastya. The aggressors opened fire three times from mortars and automatic anti-tank grenade launchers.

Russian occupation forces in the east of Ukraine committed a war crime.
As of 07:00 on February 20th, Russian forces invading Ukraine opened fire on defenders 8 times, shelling near Krasnohorivka, Avdiivka, Hranitne, Starohnativka, Luhanske, Opytne and Pisky. All these settlements are in Donetsk oblast.
