‘It is a great honour for me to be at the US Congress and speak to you and all Americans. Against all doom-and-gloom scenarios, Ukraine did not fall. Ukraine is alive and kicking,’ said Zelenskiy, who received a standing ovation when he walked into the chamber. ‘We defeated Russia in the battle for the minds of the world’.

  1. Amnesty International report dated August 4, 2022 –
    ‘Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians
    Military bases set up in residential areas including schools and hospitals
    Attacks launched from populated civilian areas
    Such violations in no way justify Russia’s indiscriminate attacks, which have killed and injured countless civilians
    Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion that began in February, Amnesty International said today.
    Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets. The ensuing Russian strikes in populated areas have killed civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure.
    “We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.’

  2. In December, the United States is bringing new nuclear warheads to Europe to replace the bombs already stationed in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey.

    The B61-12 is a new, more advanced nuclear warhead that can detonate beneath the Earth’s surface. Its destructiveness against underground targets could be equivalent to 83 Hiroshima bombs.

    But we won't hear about it when these weapons reach Europe. Historically, it's been an 'open secret' that these nuclear weapons are even there

  4. I'm a Ukrainian. Ukrainians are truly grateful for the support of America & all other countries!!! 🌟❤ Ukraine didn't start this conflict. And Ukraine needs only victory, not a peaceful agreement as Russia will never stop its efforts to capture Ukraine. That's why Ukraine needs only victory.
    PS – there're a lot of pro-Russian supporters & bots in the comments here. That's really unpleasant to see.
    Again Ukrainians are absolutely grateful for the support of America & all other countries!
    Glory to America! ❤🧡 Glory to all the countries supporting Ukraine! ❤🧡 Glory to Ukraine! 💙💛🇺🇦

  5. Cap in hand begging for help . This man is solely responsible for the death and destruction of Ukraine . I honestly can believe the cheek and audacity to stand there and beg for more . He obviously has no soul.
