The Russian army has launched a missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. As a result of this horrific tragedy, at least 20 people were killed, including 9 children. The Russian missile struck while they were playing on a playground.
This is yet another piece of undeniable evidence of the brutal, inhuman nature of the Putin regime — a regime of murderers and degenerates. There is no doubt: Russian forces are deliberately targeting residential areas, aiming to spread fear among Ukrainian civilians and to demonstrate to the world their perceived impunity.
Crimes like the one committed in Kryvyi Rih must put an end to all debates about whose war this is — that of a mad dictator or of Russia as a whole. It was not Putin himself who selected the target and guided the missile to the playground. These actions were carried out by specific individuals, each of whom had a choice.
We firmly believe that any attempts to negotiate with Putin’s Russia are doomed to failure. It is time for Western politicians to let go of their illusions: they are dealing with true savages. The free world is facing infernal evil. This nightmare can only end with the collapse of the regime and the liberation of all occupied Ukrainian territories.
We express our sincere condolences to the families of those killed in Kryvyi Rih and call on Western countries to show resolve and put an end to this endless series of atrocities. Ukraine must receive all the weapons it needs to repel the aggression and liberate its land. The free world cannot allow such a tragedy to happen again.
Only the total military defeat of the aggressor can save Ukrainians from Russian bombs and free Europe from the threat of a spreading war.
