75 yrs ago, the Soviet Union, in an effort to stifle resistance to occupation, staged mass deportations from 🇱🇻🇪🇪🇱🇹. Over 42K 🇱🇻people were sent to Siberia in cattle wagons. Russia's leadership continues to commit the gravest intl. crimes for which accountability must be ensured.

Latest United Nations report on Russia's war crimes in #Ukraine reads like the worst horror film imaginable. Women & young girls viscously raped by drunken Russian soldiers & rape/sexual assault used as punishment for any pro-Ukraine sentiment. The inhuman torture of Ukrainian…

Nobody knows the exact timeline of Russia's madness, but we know Ukraine is buying us time and paying for it with blood. If Ukraine wins, Russia's expansionism will be halted. If not, we will be wishing we had used the bought time more efficiently.

International law matters more then ever.

Even conflict and war are tied by rules, rights and standards… but only if the international community makes sure they are effectively applied, from Kiev to Gaza !

Zaporizhzhia. Right now, residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at.
This must not become 'just another day' in 🇺🇦 or anywhere else in the world. The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.

A residential building in Zaporizhzhia was hit by russians today. One more unthinkable cruelty.
