The military confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel is causing an appalling number of civilian casualties and level of destruction in Lebanon. Nothing can justify the blatant lack of respect of the principle of proportionality and of the duty to protect the civilians. 1/2

Russia’s “peace” last night: a massive strike on Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles. At least 10 killed, 30 injured, many buildings destroyed. The EU Delegation was severely damaged by the shock wave. This is Moscow’s true answer to peace efforts.
