Yesterday's Councillor's Message has struck a resonant chord, not just from Ward 9 residents. If you haven't seen it yet, I published a bit of an angry rant under the title "The high cost of convenience in #Autowa." Here are some of the comments I've received. 1/ www.seandevine.ca/march_31_202...

💔 In the hospital, 6‑year‑old Yevheniya Serhiyenko has died. Her older sister shielded her with her own body during a russian shelling. Twenty‑year‑old Dasha was killed instantly at the site of the strike, while little Zhenya was rushed to the hospital… but today she passed. Russia kills children.

Yesterday's memo on bus cancellations asserts hundreds of millions in new spending that at the end of the day has little to do with cancelled buses. Let's separate the spin from the solutions.

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.

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.

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.

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-...

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. I need a #warcoffee
