In #Ukraine, it has become a powerful tradition: when vehicles carrying fallen defenders pass by, people stop their cars, exit, and kneel by the roadside.

This spontaneous act of honour and grief is a silent salute to those who gave their lives for freedom.

Germany’s defence minister Boris Pistorius warns Ukraine against agreeing to a deal that would involve sweeping territorial concessions in exchange for a Russian ceasefire. "Ukraine could have got a year ago what was included in that proposal, it is akin to a capitulation,” Pistorius said. “I cannot discern any added value.” Read more at @BBCNews:

2 months ago, #Russia returned to #Ukraine the body of #journalist #ViktoriaRoshchyna

There was evidence of torture: abrasions, bruises, a broken rib, and suspected electric shock injuries

Also missing from her body was her brain, both eyeballs, and part of her trachea

That would obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation

But also:

She was a journalist

She used her eyes, her voice, and her thoughts

And the #mafiaState sent a message about that

The #UnitedStates & #Ukraine announced the creation of a new reconstruction & investment fund, formalizing an economic agreement between the 2 that is intended to give the US access to proceeds from Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth #minerals.

The agreement concludes months of fraught negotiations over whether the #US will continue to provide Ukraine w/ #economic & #military support to Ukraine as it tries to broker an end to its war w/ #Russia.

Russia disappeared her. Russia tortured her. Russia then returned her mutilated body to Ukraine.

Whatever happens next in talks about Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine - peace deal or no peace deal - Russia’s appalling treatment of journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna makes at least 2 things horrifically clear.

1️⃣ There must be justice for such vicious crimes.

2️⃣ Thousands of Ukrainian civilians in Russian detention - facing torture right now - must be freed.

This is what Sumy looked like on Willow (Palm) Sunday. Mangled bodies. Blood on the sidewalks. Russian missiles struck a residential district full of civilians. At least 34 people killed.

Putin's message to #potus

In a devastating attack, Russian ballistic missiles hit a peaceful street in the Ukrainian city of Sumy—damaging residential buildings, educational institutions, and civilian infrastructure.

This atrocity took place on Palm Sunday, a holy day in Ukraine.

Putin's mass murder of 34 and severely wounding 117 is making folks a bit uncomfortable.

Then you are part of the problem, when innocents are mass murdered, we must demand accountability. Speak up. Stop this madness. Stop wanted war criminal mass murderer Putin. I will be posting about this horrific injustice. Everyone speak up for Ukrainians.

That’d be the smart move

Exclusive: #Ukraine considers shift from the #US #dollar to #euro amid #geopolitical realignments

Ukraine is starting to consider a shift away from the US dollar, possibly linking its currency more closely to the euro amid the splintering of global #trade & its growing ties to #Europe, per #CentralBank Gov Andriy Pyshnyi.

#Putin has declared a 3-day pause in fighting against #Ukraine, but for bloodied Ukrainian soldiers limping into a field hospital, their wounds testified that the ceasefire was not being respected.

One soldier, who gave his name as Stanislav, sat in the field hospital on Friday night cradling his left arm. It was wrapped in gauze bandage, & blood was soaking through.

“There hasn’t been any ceasefire," said Stanislav.

The decision by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pull out of the meeting and an objection by Ukraine’s leader to a key U.S. proposal raised questions about the state of the negotiations.”

#Putin's #Oil Empire Gets Double Boost

The #US will not back an #EU proposal to impose a price cap on #RussianOil that seeks to curb revenues for Russian President Vladimir Putin's #war machine, acc/to Bloomberg.

#Russia could also benefit from the spike in oil prices following #Israel's attack on #Iran, a major producer of the commodity.
