When foreign invaders occupy part of your country and turn your children, in their own schools, into soldiers trained to come back and kill the rest of you once they grow up, it’s… it’s just unspeakable evil. It is unfathomable tragedy for Ukraine.

"Reports of eating weeds draw harrowing parallels with the sieges of Yarmouk and Mariupol, both used by Russia to refine its use of starvation as a weapon of war. Following in their genocidal Holodomor in the 1930s, Russia is again using starvation to punish, terrorize, and humiliate Ukrainians."

Regarding Trump’s latest claim that Ukraine and Russia agreed not to strike each other’s energy “targets,” I assess the likelihood of such an agreement holding as close to zero. Russia’s entire winter campaign plan is built around destroying Ukraine’s energy sector.

96% of US diesel fuel is refined in the US. Almost all of the remaining 4% came from Canada. The US hasn't imported any oil or petroleum product from Russia since early 2022 Trump's attempt to blame high diesel prices on Ukraine defending itself isn't just ludicrous, it's sickening.
