Putin launched 629 drones and missiles against Ukraine last night. Yes, 629.Despite the prowess of Ukraine’s air defenses (589 targets destroyed), the toll is tragic:

19 dead, including 4 children – the youngest was only 2 years old.
48 injured.
10 missing.

And what did Russia target?

Residential buildings.
An Intercity+ high-speed train from Kyiv to Kharkiv.
The EU Mission in Kyiv, seriously damaged.
The British Council, also hit.

Bombing civilians, children, diplomats, cultural institutions: this is the true face of Russia.
Putin’s empty statements abroad don’t mask the reality: he seeks neither peace nor dialogue, only terror.

Faced with this barbarity, the world cannot look away:

Massive new sanctions against Russia are needed. We must immediately strengthen military support and defense for Ukraine.

Every attack proves it: Putin will only back down in the face of force and international pressure.

Ukraine is fighting to survive. The world must fight alongside it.
