Yet again we start the day with news of missile strikes, destruction & killed civilians in #Ukraine .

It would not be like this if 🇺🇦 would be given everything they are asking for to protect their skies & push back Russia's relentless aggression.

#ArmUkraineNow

I wholeheartedly welcome this resolution & call on moving on with making Russia pay for the damages it has caused in #Ukraine .
