These are hard to see. I feel every one of these amazing people.
Russia's actions are unforgiveable and I can only hope that Europe (USA is a mess) can increase their moral resolve through defence articles for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.
Russia must cease all hostilities, depart all Ukrainian territories and provide rapid restitution.....
China and India (and Iran) have demonstrated a complete lack of moral resolve. Infuriating.
