@NHS24's treatment of my mother in the past 48 hours has been nothing short of neglect.

Worried she has SEPSIS, the carer, myself and my parents called NHS24 AND 999.

At every turn, they've refused to even see her calling it "a care issue."

CONTINUED
2/ The care provider & socal work have been really helpful even escalating it through @NHSHighland.

Despite this, 2 Out of Hours GPs have said my mother being unable to walk, with a swollen, hot & very red knee, is "NOT a medical issue." She's crying in pain.

Called me liar too
3/ One of mum and dad's carers stayed till 2am this morning pleading for her to bd seen to no avail, getting told call the GP on Monday.

Note: Mum has been in the wheelchair since THURSDAY including sleeping.

Your GP was angry social wanted my admitted to hospital @NHS24.4

NEW - The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Nations read out what he claims are the text messages between a Russian soldier and his mother shortly before killed.

It is worth pointing out that there is no way anyone can verify this.

The information war right now is off the scale, which is to be expected.

Everyone has been caught out at least once, Snake Island, so while I report this, it's important I add a cavaet for balance & accuracy.
This isn't to say it's not true, but I think it's fair to say nobody can say it is either.

Experienced people are getting things wrong & will continue to. War is messy & unpredictable.

It's extremely important journalists & commentators correct themselves when wrong.

2/ More footage showing the inferno at Vasilkov oil depot following a Russian attack this evening.

#UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineConflict
This is what the residents of Vasilkov can see. The fumes given off by that fire will be extremely toxic.

I'd you know anyone there or someone who can spread a message, tell them to shut all doors and windows or better still, if safe, get upwind of the fire.

Ukrainian President Zelensky has shown how effective digital media can be.

His continuous updates & pressuring of Western countries has resulted in results on his part.

Italy u-turned on SWIFT & countries are sending military aid.

Winning in the information domain is important
The Russians can't go anywhere without being caught on video & their failures exposed.

As urban warfare intensifies and casualties rise, Russians back home will start to turn in bigger numbers.

That is probably the biggest hope for Ukraine right now.
It is therefore vitally important we share Ukrainian's stories & expose Russian failures & any crimes.

The more we amplify these messages, the more pressure grows on Putin, Lukashenko & others too afraid to say stop.
