Today, russian airstrike killed three people and a dog who were just strolling down the street of Odesa.

Over 20 were injured.

Ironically, one of the (lightly) injured people is Serhii Kivalov, a former pro-russian politician, who in 2012 co-authored a bill that made russian to be essentially the state language in Ukraine. His castle is now on fire as a result of this strike. Yes, his castle. update: 5 people have been killed

Just remembered a Ukrainian teenager who was killed 2 years ago by a russian missile while he was running to let his elderly neighbors know about an air raid. Killed for having compassion for his community. For being kind.

Last fall, Terrell Jermaine Starr went to Odesa in southern Ukraine to ask chef Nika Lozovka how she keeps her restaurant running during Russai's war. She also talks about how Russian propaganda extended to Ukrainian cuisine, and how chefs in Ukraine are rediscovering their traditional dishes.

The world is fucked up

I don't get it either. Why my people must die when Russia has so much support? Because on its own there's no way Russians have numerous drones (Iran) and ballistic missiles which they shelled Odesa today. Where is justice? Make Russia pay!  Please keep spreading our voices and donate to our army and combat medics (savelife.in.ua, prytulafoundation.org, Serhii Sternenko, hospitallers.life, ptahy.vidchui.org and u24.gov.ua).

At night, the russians carried out an airstrike on an apartment building in Odesa. They killed 7 people, including a 3-month-old baby with his mother. It is also reported about 8 wounded, including one child.

I was considering putting this photo under the cut or blurring it out, but if it was my baby, I would want the world to see this. To be horrified. To be angry.

edit: among the killed were two children: the boys Timofiy, who was four months old, and Mark, who was not yet three years old. Another child, a three-year-old girl, was injured.
