"Not once did I see a representative of the Red Cross", says Maksym Kolesnykov, who spent a year in russian captivity, lost over 30 kilograms and could not walk due to a severe injury.

Most Ukrainian POWs have never been visited by the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) while in russian captivity. Instead, they faced starvation, torture, and humiliation.

Both the U.N. and the ICRC did not provide sufficient or even existing responses, including when russian troops blew up the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, instead celebrating the "russian language day".

The active part Red Cross is taking in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories is also worth noting.

[Edit today we know that more than 100 are dead, including children, oh and it took police an hour to do sth, great!]

In case you don't know yet, hundreds of people were in a famous concert hall with their children when terrorists entered the building, killed security, went on a fucking stage and started to shoot at people. They threw grenades, set fire to the building. And it basically happened in Moscow.

At least 60 people died, more than 140 people are injured. One child died for now and lots of kids are still in the hospital with severe damage. We still don't know the exact numbers.

And it turns out that our government and some other kinda knew about some planning attacks. Which is absolutely great and cool and awesome.

Armed people are walking on city streets and nobody cares, they would certainly care if they saw a rainbow sign on someone, cause it's an absolutely valid reason to send special forces on them. But armed people? What harm might they cause

Goodnight indeed. My family and friends are safe, but we don't feel safe anymore.
