#Ukraine #Russia

I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar

Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians

However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation

From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world

#War

russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine has now lasted longer than World War I.

More than four years of daily missile strikes, drone attacks, occupation, torture, deportations, and destruction.

History has shown that aggressors do not stop on their own. Every concession only fuels the next act of violence.

The only way to stop this countdown is to stop russia.

Russia is warning foreign nationals to evacuate Ukraine ahead of strikes on the capital of Kyiv. United States and European officials say they wont be intimidated by threats, and analysts say the warning comes at a time when the war is starting to tip in Ukraine’s favor. @CBSNews has more

Is a shift "in favor of Ukrainian forces" behind a Russian warning to foreigners in Kyiv?

As Russia hammers Ukraine with bombs and warns foreigners to flee its capital, analysts think it may reflect a war "shifting in favor of Ukrainian forces."
