OMG 14 people have been killed in Kyiv.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko says a ballistic strike tore through all 9 floors of the residential block in Solomianskyi. A direct hit. Targeted by Russia.

As I feared, once emergency crews could really get in, many more injured have been rescued.

In Kyiv, over 40 have been hurt here in Solomianskyi.

The months change, Russia's war crimes do not.

But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.

Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.

What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.
