Hey Bluesky 👋

I'm from Ottawa, Canada. Canadian by birth and Ukrainian at heart.

You're in the right place if you want to talk about health policy, the health workforce, and parenting.

Russia deliberately carried out a massive air attack on Kyiv just hours after the phone call between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.

I’m sure your media doesn’t cover things like this anymore.

Kyiv is under a heavy drone attack. Fires have been reported in several districts of the city.

We’re fine
(as one can be under the current circumstances)

As of 6 pm today, 34 people were killed and 117 injured by the Russian strike on Sumy. Two of the killed and 15 of the injured are children.

The Russian strike killed everyone in the Martynenko family - mom, dad and their son Maksym, a six-grader.

Deepest condolences.

Sumy 💔

24 people killed, including one child.

84 people injured, including seven children.

The Russian missile was a cluster one to maximize the damage.

The most victims were in the trolleybus.

France24 published a video from surveillance cameras in a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih on Friday.

Russia claimed that the strike was on this restaurant because "Ukrainian military" were there.

The video shows that's a lie.The strike killed 20 civilians,9 of them children.

I can't even come up with then words to explain how horrendous this is. This should not be part of anyone's history.
People bring toys and flowers to a bombed-out playground in Kryvyi Rih, where 18 people, including 9 children, were killed by a russian missile.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror.
These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever.

Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way.

Putin is an international criminal and a terrorist⤵️

The boy in this photo is Tymofii, 3 years and 9 months old. He didn't survive...

His mom Valeriia shared that Tymofii was returning home from the playground with his grandma when Russia launched the missile. Mom ran to them.

Valeriia says Tymofii loved space and rockets.

J.D. Vance says with childish naivete that a truce has been declared on the energy issue.

Meanwhile, this is what Ukraine looked like last night - lit not by electricity, but by Russian bombs.👇

Last night in Kharkiv, a peaceful local football match was interrupted when kamikaze drones rained down on the residential area, forcing people to flee for their lives.

This is not war — it’s mass murder.

About a year ago, Russia struck 'Factor-Druk,' a large printing house in Kharkiv, Ukraine. That strike killed 7 people who simply came to work that day, injured 22 others, and destroyed the printing house.

Today, it reopened!

This "limited ceasefire" is a joke. Russia scales up attacks on Ukrainian energy in the fall and scales them down in the spring — all part of its strategy to freeze Ukrainians during the winter.

Russia will keep bombing civilians under this "deal." apnews.com/live/donald-...

I still get nightmares after hearing about this tragedy. Vichnaya Pamyat.
3 years ago on this day, Russia bombed the Mariupol Drama Theater, which at that time served as a bomb shelter for civilians and had a huge sign "CHILDREN" written in russian in front of it.

Estimated casualties are over 300 people.

Morning from Kyiv!
The night was mostly calm here.
It is good, as I have read, that
the US stopped sharing all intelligence with Ukraine, including on missile and drone launches.
That means more killed civilians and damage.

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

Was this on anyone's bingo card?
So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Do people care about conflicts of interest anymore? #ONPoli #NotFord
This alone should be grounds for terminating Ontario’s contract with Starlink immediately.
New: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting off the country's access to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system, per three sources. www.reuters.com/business/us-...
