(1/4) @ZelenskyyUa recorded a video message for Europeans.
The main theses:
• During these 3 weeks of war 115 children were killed. This is the most terrifying war in Europe since the WWII. #StopRussia
(2/4)
• #Ukrainians hear the hourslong sounds of air-raid sirens, during which children and elderly people are brought to basements to stay in safety. Ukrainians live, work, try to sleep, receive medical treatment for wounds, give birth and die hearing these sounds.
(3/4)
• #Ukraine is fighting against one of the most numerous armies in the world, against missiles, bombs, missile artillery, planes and helicopters, on which russians write ‘to #Berlin’, because they want to go further. #StopPutinNow

🔺 Russian troops have lost their offensive potential, their advance has been halted in almost all directions.
🔺 Military commissariats of Kuban, Primorsky Krai, Yaroslavl Oblast and the Ural Federal District regions are conducting covert mobilization. However, the population of these regions is reluctant to take part in the war - there are cases when Russians evade service.

🔺 There is information that during the visit of the head of the Libyan National Army Khalifa Haftar to Moscow, an agreement was reached on sending Libyan "volunteers" to Ukraine.
