The UN’s failure to recognise Russia as international genocidal TERRORISTS is a stain on humanity. Greed, corruption and fear allow Putin to murder, rape and kidnap on a daily basis. When will the world wake up and get rid of this cancer?
russia attacks ukraine every day with drones and missiles mostly at civilians. They're burning medical supplies, stealing food, cutting off electricity heating and water. Abducting children to turn them on their country.
Their genocide couldn't be more obvious.

🇺🇸💥 Putin rejected Trump’s favorable peace deal, believing in Russia’s inevitable victory. The Guardian foreign affairs commentator Tisdall argues this was a major blunder: the war is draining Russia economically, fueling social unrest, and weakening global influence.

This is why putin is working overdrive to convince Trump he's winning so he can claim they'd lose Donbas anyway. But why would he have to work so hard to convince anyone if it were true?
saw the terms for the ukraine "peace plan" and I remember when they used to call that "losing," like they literally gain nothing why would they agree to that

This from the guy who waved it through having no idea what it said.
President Trump says he is "disappointed" with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who he says has not read the latest plan to end Russia's war.
'Disappointed' Trump says Zelenskyy hasn't read latest plan to end Russia's war
Despite Trump’s suggestion that Russia was “fine” with the most up-to-date version of the peace deal, the Kremlin indicated Sunday it wanted "radical changes."
