Hegseth eliminated staff who prevent civilian casualties, called the rules of engagement safeguarding civilians 'stupid,' & now he's covering up the report on the Minab school strike that killed over 120 children.   He needs to be removed from office & we need accountability NOW.

Zelenskyy: "It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зелен... * @Zelensky. • 2h S ...
A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Once again, no early warning from our partners. The main target was energy infrastructure, specifically CHPP-
4. Unfortunately, it was hit. A residential building was also damaged, and rescuers are currently putting out a fire there. Our systems detected these missiles only when they were already virtually on approach to Kyiv. CHPP-4 is one of Kyiv's key energy facilities.
According to our intelligence, the Russians are preparing further ballistic missile launches. The facts show that the Russians do not consider themselves bound by what the President of the United States said. Ukraine supported an energy ceasefire. Russia is targeting yet another power plant and the lives of our people.And this is absolutely unjust: when they are destroying our energy infrastructure, and Ukraine is not even receiving early warnings about ballistic missile launches. It is important that the world does not stay silent about this. And it is important that the United States really see what is happening and who is responsible for this war continuing.
Please stay safe tonight and tomorrow. We are working to replenish our air defenses with anti-ballistic missiles.
