When I see this, I just feel Russia is desperate to end this war before going broke...by murdering civilians.
Would be nice to see Moscow get properly attacked as a retaliation, even once. They do this because they know there are no repercussions.
The DESPERATION OF THE ORCS IS CLEAR.
Hold on, stay as safe as you can. You're all tremendously inspiring in your resolve and determination.
So sad and maddening to see these attacks. Slava Ukraine!
Putler does not want peace, nor even a ceasefire.
It is time for Ukraine to get all the support to score massive symbolic and military wins.
Putin....you're a piece of shit!!
Need Congress to pass those new sanctions ASAP.
