Heartbreaking scenes from the village of Al-Jadidah in western #Idlib today, as #Russia airstrikes hit a farm, killing 7 civilians, 5 of them children under 10.
We’re in the 12th year of #Syria’s crisis & this continues to happen — with total impunity.
Enough now.

Note -- the village of al-Jadidah, #Idlib is still home to a long-standing, small Christian community.
Several Christian notables joined the delegation meeting #HTS leader Jolani earlier this week.
Already some speculation that #Russia's massacre today was a response to that.

Warning - this is hard to see, but it must be seen. No more disinterest.
#Russia killed 4 children & 3 adult civilians this morning in #Idlib. Parents are now mourning.
Syrians never got air defenses or heavy weaponry - they just sit there, defenseless.

It's been nearly 7yrs since #Russia's military intervention in #Syria & in that time, it's killed ~7,000 civilians, including ~2,050 children.
And believe it or not, **not a single sanction** has been placed on #Russia as a result.
Not a single one.
Shame on the world. Shame.

When the @UN provided #Russia with the coordinates of dozens of hospitals in NW #Syria in a "deconfliction" arrangement, #Moscow used the coordinates to launch a campaign of precision airstrikes, methodically destroying hospitals, one by one.
The result?
Not a single sanction.

@UN On April 4, 2017, #Assad forces loaded munitions with Sarin gas onto jets at Shayrat AB -- and dropped them on Khan Sheikhoun, killing 89 civilians & injuring 500+.
Intel: #Russia troops were present.
The U.S. struck Shayrat 3 days later -- *but not before pre-warning #Russia.*

@UN Their names were:

@UN Not only is #Russia's military killing children in #Syria & #Ukraine -- it's also stealing them & giving them to families back at home.
There are no limits for #Putin's #Russia.
