Ukrainian mother 1993 vs 2025. The pain russians have inflicted on Ukrainians will be felt for generations. The evil they have unleashed will not be forgotten. The crimes they have committed will be punished.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Another day, another war crime. Russians hit a five-story residential building in Poltava. At least 5 people were killed and 13 injured.

A Republican congressman, Andy Ogles, introduced a resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution in order to allow President Donald Trump to be elected to a third term in the White House. A similar amendment was passed in russia in 2020 to allow Putin reign indefinitely.
