1/5 If Putin's goal was to get as many Russians killed as possible without achieving anything, then he has succeeded.

💯🇺🇦 Zelensky: Putin is personally afraid of a ceasefire, because it is difficult for him to go from a ceasefire to a war again.

Going from a full-scale war to a ceasefire and then starting a full-scale war again is not easy for them. It is not easy economically, it is not easy with society, world.

Russia is also quietly attacking Ukraine's food supplies and producers.

The Yofi hummus factory is the latest to be targeted. Yofi has a 70% market share, but now production is suspended after a missile strike. The workers were saved, but not the equipment.

The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Fellas, by closing this matching, we’ll get an EW system for the 3rd SAB and five reconnaissance drones for the 14th NGU. Both requests are crucial and urgent 🥺

If 900 of us each spare just €5 today, we can close both of these requests, can we? 🥹

I’ve been to Pokrovsk. Russia targeted civilians every single day, not just here, but across Ukraine.
The world might ignore this genocide, but Ukraine never will. 🇺🇦
