Ukrainian resident Anna Episheva shared a photo of her niece with a note detailing the situation of the country.


A heart-wrenching photo of a teenage girl standing in front of her bombed school in Ukraine has shaken the Internet. Shared on Twitter, the picture shows the Ukrainian girl wearing a beautiful red prom dress and standing amid the ruins that was once an educational institute.

Ukrainian resident Anna Episheva shared a photo of her niece with a note detailing the situation. “My niece was supposed to graduate this year from her high school. She and her friends bought dresses and were looking forward to this day. Then Russians came. Her school was directly hit and destroyed. Today she came back to what is left of her school and her plans,” read the caption.

… Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine planned to publish a special “Book of Executioners” next week with information about war crimes committed by the Russian army. The war between Ukraine and Russia started after President Vladimir Putin ordered an attack on Ukraine.

to the popular but imprisoned Navalny, who would imprison the lot of them as his first act in office.

Putin's replacement is likely to be just as bad and just as steeped in bullshit about Ukraine. None of them wants to stick his neck out and go for the job, not yet.

My guess is that it will be an obscure general, who will announce he's only there until elections can be held something like two years later, a date that will likely be forgotten. Bad faith negotiations with Ukraine will continue.

Putin really needs to go and they know that as well as we do. He's made too many colossal blunders to stay in office.
