Frightful video and picture visuals of the war are pouring out on Twitter of the Ukrain-Russian war, far worse than we fathom.
‘A family died… in front of my eyes’: Civilians killed as Russian military strike hits evacuation route in Kyiv where a Russian military strike hit an evacuation crossing point in a Kyiv suburb Sunday, killing a family with two children and several other civilians trying to flee the Russian invasion, according to the city’s mayor, as civilian casualties seeking safety from the onslaught continue to rise.
Dmytro Zhyvitsky, the head of the Sumy Regional State Administration, reports that Russian planes dropped bombs on residential areas of the city. There are dead and injured people, including children.
Thousands of Ukrainians arriving by special trains are pouring every day into Zahony, which has a population of fewer than 5,000 people. A world kitchen has been set up to ensure hot meals for the freezing refugees.
Meantime, Indian Intel Agencies are looking into reports of an Indian student ‘serving in the Ukraine army”. In the meantime, reports are on that ‘Kids killed in shelling at Sumy’. On updates of Indian students, 418 students have returned from Ukraine to Himachal Pradesh till now and 58 students are yet to come. Some of these students are in Ukraine and some are in nearby countries. All students are safe & are expected to be back soon says Himachal Pradesh CM Jairam Thakur.

Notably, the Russian attack is the biggest war on a European state since World War Two, where 2 million people have fled as refugees, and sanctions on Moscow have not halted the war with growing terrors of huger conflicts in the West in the future. Sieges and the bombing rage presently as Kyiv rejected possible humanitarian corridors to Russia and Belarus, due to Ukraine’s suspicion of Russia’s intentions, but said some small progress had been made on agreeing on logistics for the evacuation of civilians.
More than 2 million Ukrainians escaping to Central Europe since the conflict began on Feb. 24, the United Nations refugee agency said on Monday. Russia justifies its attack on Ukraine as a “special operation” that it says is not designed to occupy territory but to destroy its southern neighbor’s military capabilities and capture what it regards as dangerous nationalists.
Moscow gave the residents of the Ukrainian cities of Sumy and Mariupol the choice of moving elsewhere in Ukraine on Tuesday, setting a deadline in the early hours for Kyiv to agree, Russian news agencies reported.
On attempting to pressurize Russian President Vladimir Putin, the United States said Washington and its European allies were considering banning Russian oil imports. Oil prices spiked to their highest levels since 2008.
“A rejection of Russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market,” said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, saying the price could more than double to over $300 per barrel. U.S. President Joe Biden held a video conference call with the leaders of France, Germany, and Britain as he pushed for their support on the ban.
But if need be the United States is willing to move ahead without allies in Europe, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Many countries on the continent are heavily reliant on Russian energy. Germany last month froze the certification of Nord Stream 2 that was due to pipe gas from Russia to Germany.
“We have every right to take a matching decision and impose an embargo on gas pumping through the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline,” said Novak. The Russian economy, banking system, and currency have been under intense pressure as punishment for the assault on Ukraine. The country will be excluded from all of JPMorgan’s fixed income indexes, the bank said in the latest such development on Monday.
After the third attempt to diminish the bloodshed at talks in Belarus, a Ukrainian negotiator said that although small progress on agreeing on logistics for the evacuation of civilians had been made, things remained largely unchanged. “As of now, there are no results that significantly improve the situation,” Mykhailo Podolyak said.
Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky told journalists the talks were “not easy”. “We hope that from tomorrow these corridors will finally work,” he said. Russia has proposed two corridors inside of Ukraine, according to Interfax.
Escape routes to Russia and Belarus, its close ally, were earlier called “completely immoral” by a spokesperson for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The fourth round of talks is due soon, Russian negotiator Leonid Slutsky told Russian state television. “Our president is not scared of anything, including a direct meeting with Putin,” said Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba late on Monday.
The banning of Russian Oil is a Possibility
Ukraine President Zelenskyy has said the invasion into his country was becoming a nightmare for Russia.
Meanwhile, a Western ban on Russian oil imports may more than double the price to $300 a barrel and prompt the closure of the main gas pipeline to Germany, Moscow warned on Monday, as talks on Ukraine hardly advanced amid efforts to agree on civilians’ safe passage.
Europe was not so keen on the idea, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz saying Russian oil and gas are of “essential importance” to the continent’s economy. Roughly 40 percent of EU gas imports and one-quarter of its oil come from Russia.
The Ukraine Presidential Office has released the full transcript of Zelensky’s 9-minute speech, which he delivered in a video from his office on Monday night:
MONDAY. EVENING. YOU KNOW, WE USED TO SAY: MONDAY IS A HARD DAY. THERE IS A WAR IN THE COUNTRY. SO EVERY DAY IS MONDAY.
AND NOW WE ARE USED TO THE FACT THAT EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT ARE LIKE THAT.
TODAY IS THE 12TH. 12TH EVENING OF OUR STRUGGLE. OUR DEFENSE.
WE ARE ALL ON THE GROUND, WE ARE ALL WORKING.
EVERYONE IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. I AM IN KYIV. MY TEAM IS WITH ME. THE TERRITORIAL DEFENSE IS ON THE GROUND. THE SERVICEMEN ARE IN POSITIONS. OUR HEROES! DOCTORS, RESCUERS, TRANSPORTERS, DIPLOMATS, JOURNALISTS…
EVERYONE. WE ARE ALL AT WAR. WE ALL CONTRIBUTE TO OUR VICTORY, WHICH WILL DEFINITELY BE ACHIEVED. BY FORCE OF ARMS AND OUR ARMY. BY FORCE OF WORDS AND OUR DIPLOMACY. BY FORCE OF SPIRIT, WHICH THE FIRST, THE SECOND AND EACH OF US HAVE.
TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY TODAY.
CHAPLYNKA, MELITOPOL, TOKMAK, NOVOTROITSKE AND KHERSON. STAROBILSK. EVERYWHERE PEOPLE DEFENDED THEMSELVES, ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE WEAPONS THERE. BUT THESE ARE OUR PEOPLE, AND THAT’S WHY THEY HAVE WEAPONS.
THEY HAVE COURAGE. DIGNITY. AND HENCE THE ABILITY TO GO OUT AND SAY: I’M HERE, IT’S MINE, AND I WON’T GIVE IT AWAY. MY CITY. MY COMMUNITY. MY UKRAINE.
EVERY UKRAINIAN MAN AND WOMAN WHO PROTESTED AGAINST THE INVADERS YESTERDAY, TODAY AND WILL PROTEST TOMORROW ARE HEROES.
WE SHOUT AT THE INVADERS TOGETHER WITH YOU. WE STAND IN THE SQUARES AND STREETS WITH YOU. WE ARE NOT AFRAID WITH YOU WHEN THE INVADERS OPEN FIRE AND TRY TO DRIVE EVERYONE AWAY.
YOU DO NOT BACK DOWN.
WE DO NOT BACK DOWN.
AND THE ONE WHO REPEATED: “WE ARE ONE PEOPLE” – CERTAINLY DID NOT EXPECT SUCH A POWERFUL REACTION.
IN THE SOUTH OF OUR COUNTRY, SUCH A NATIONAL MOVEMENT HAS UNFOLDED, SUCH A POWERFUL MANIFESTATION OF UKRAINIANNESS THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IN THE STREETS AND SQUARES THERE. AND FOR RUSSIA IT IS LIKE A NIGHTMARE.
THEY FORGOT THAT WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF PADDY WAGONS AND BATONS. WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF TANKS AND MACHINE GUNS. WHEN THE MAIN THING IS ON OUR SIDE, TRUTH. AS IT IS NOW.
MARIUPOL AND KHARKIV, CHERNIHIV AND SUMY. ODESA AND KYIV. MYKOLAIV. ZHYTOMYR AND KOROSTEN. OVRUCH. AND MANY OTHER CITIES.
WE KNOW THAT HATRED THAT THE ENEMY BROUGHT TO OUR CITIES WITH SHELLING AND BOMBING WILL NOT REMAIN THERE. THERE WILL BE NO TRACE OF IT. HATRED IS NOT ABOUT US. THEREFORE, THERE WILL BE NO TRACE OF THE ENEMY. WE WILL REBUILD EVERYTHING. WE WILL MAKE OUR CITIES DESTROYED BY THE INVADER BETTER THAN ANY CITY IN RUSSIA.
ENERHODAR. CHORNOBYL. AND OTHER PLACES WHERE BARBARIANS JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WANT TO CAPTURE. WHAT THEY WANT TO CONTROL. YOUR WORK, YOUR HARD WORK ON CRITICAL OBJECTS IS A REAL FEAT. AND WE SEE IT. WE ARE SINCERELY GRATEFUL FOR IT.
THE UKRAINIAN ARMY HOLDS POSITIONS. WELL DONE! IT INFLICTS EXTREMELY PAINFUL LOSSES ON THE ENEMY. DEFENDS. COUNTERATTACKS. IF NECESSARY – CAN TAKE REVENGE. NECESSARILY. FOR EVERY EVIL. FOR EVERY ROCKET AND BOMB. FOR EACH DESTROYED CIVILIAN OBJECT.
TODAY IN MAKARIV, KYIV REGION, THEY FIRED AT THE BREAD FACTORY. FOR WHAT? THE OLD BREAD FACTORY! THINK ABOUT IT – TO FIRE AT THE BREAD FACTORY. WHO SHOULD YOU BE TO DO THAT?
OR TO DESTROY ANOTHER CHURCH – IN THE ZHYTOMYR REGION. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN BUILT IN 1862.
THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE.
THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT ON HUMANITARIAN CORRIDORS.
DID IT WORK? RUSSIAN TANKS WORKED INSTEAD. RUSSIAN “GRADS”. RUSSIAN MINES. THEY EVEN MINED THE ROAD, WHICH WAS AGREED TO TRANSPORT FOOD AND MEDICINE FOR PEOPLE AND CHILDREN IN MARIUPOL.
THEY EVEN DESTROY BUSES THAT HAVE TO TAKE PEOPLE OUT. BUT … AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ARE OPENING A SMALL CORRIDOR TO THE OCCUPIED TERRITORY. FOR SEVERAL DOZEN PEOPLE. NOT SO MUCH TO RUSSIA, AS TO PROPAGANDISTS. DIRECTLY TO THEIR TV CAMERAS. LIKE, THAT’S THE ONE WHO SAVES. JUST CYNICISM. JUST PROPAGANDA. NOTHING MORE. NO HUMANITARIAN SENSE.
THE THIRD ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS IN BELARUS TOOK PLACE TODAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY – THE THIRD AND FINAL. BUT WE ARE REALISTS. SO WE WILL TALK. WE WILL INSIST ON NEGOTIATIONS UNTIL WE FIND A WAY TO TELL OUR PEOPLE: THIS IS HOW WE WILL COME TO PEACE.
EXACTLY TO PEACE.
WE MUST REALIZE THAT EVERY DAY OF STRUGGLE, EVERY DAY OF RESISTANCE CREATES BETTER CONDITIONS FOR US. STRONG POSITION TO GUARANTEE OUR FUTURE. IN PEACE. AFTER THIS WAR.
APART FROM THE DEAD PEOPLE AND THE DESTROYED CITIES, THE WAR LEAVES DESTROYED THE ASPIRATIONS THAT ONCE SEEMED VERY IMPORTANT, BUT NOW … YOU DON’T EVEN MENTION THEM.
ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO, AS SOON AS THE ELECTION TOOK PLACE, WE ENTERED THIS BUILDING, THIS OFFICE, AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN PLANNING OUR MOVE.
I DREAMED OF MOVING FROM BANKOVA. TOGETHER WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND PARLIAMENT. TO UNLOAD THE CENTER OF KYIV AND IN GENERAL – TO MOVE TO A MODERN, TRANSPARENT OFFICE – AS BEFITS A PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC EUROPEAN COUNTRY.
NOW I WILL SAY ONE THING: I STAY HERE.
I STAY IN KYIV.
ON BANKOVA STREET.
I’M NOT HIDING.
AND I’M NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE.
AS MUCH AS IT TAKES TO WIN THIS PATRIOTIC WAR OF OURS.
TODAY I SIGNED A DECREE TO PRESENT STATE AWARDS OF UKRAINE TO 96 UKRAINIAN HEROES – OUR MILITARY.

No war is good and Israel’s Wars have also Killed Civilians including Children while World Kept Silent
Last year, after American Joe Biden took over as president, the world watched silently while on May 16, 2021, Israel struck Palestine killing 153 people, 42 children where Israeli warplanes conducted massive airstrikes at several locations of Gaza City. Detonations jolted Gaza early on Monday morning.
The Israeli airstrike bombed a high-rise building in Gaza City housing offices of several international media organizations and residential apartments. There were screams under the rubble, and a 1-year-old baby and a 3-year-old toddler were killed in the Israeli airstrike in Gaza City early on Sunday morning that day, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said.
Most of those who perished belonged to the same extended family, including young children; IDF says it targeted Hamas military infrastructure under civilian homes.
Pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, and other U.S. cities on Saturday to demand an end to Israeli airstrikes over the Gaza Strip. Thousands of people shut down traffic on a major thoroughfare in west Los Angeles as they marched two miles from outside the federal building to the Israeli consulate. The protesters waved signs that said free Palestine and shouted long live intifada, or uprising.
On a happier note, after this, thousands of Israelis advocate for a peaceful two-state resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in support of peace. An NGO posted on Twitter, “In Tel Aviv, just now, thousands of us are raising our voices: Yes to equality, yes to Palestinian- Jewish partnership, Yes to peace.”
The rally was organized by Shalom Achshav (Peace Now) – a human rights organization on Saturday. The NGO advocates for a peaceful two-state resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Russia’s decisions and Israel’s have sharpened polarization in the world. Certain groups in India and over the world are divided either taking sides with Ukraine, Russia, Israel, etc. and all are suddenly attacking each other.
The West, the East, USA, UK along with UNSC, NATA, UN, should work to stop ALL wars that are sparking off all over the globe, including the war against Palestine mercilessly wrecking lives, homes, families, economies, businesses, and destroying planet Earth. This war is destroying the Universe. Nations should work towards solutions and peace and stop providing weapons, which feeds their economy, but destroys a weaker nation. Unfortunately, in war, EVERYONE feels they are right, but everyone is wrong because egos are involved. There are no sides to take because it makes it worse, but the world should negotiate to stop the war. But is it possible if aggression is beyond dialogue?
As famous American musician, talented electric guitarist Jimi Hendrix said, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.” Will the world really ever come to that evolved state or is the love of power too high?

Sharing with you some horrific visuals of the war. If you are able, look at them and see the terrible price people have to pay for war. We often have a defeatist attitude that this is what is predicted and there is nothing that we can do, we have been saying this since the beginning of the world.
