Late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, Ukrainian drones struck the Nizhny Novgorod oil refinery in Kstovo, in central Russia 520 miles from the front line in northern Ukraine. The blasts triggered what the Ukrainian general staff in Kyiv described as a “powerful” fire that burned through the early morning.

yes. there's about six active genocides right now. one of those is russia's quest to erase and eliminate the Ukrainian people. that is what genocide is. mass torture with the aim of ending a people's story from being told. russia is separating families, killing civilians and particularly children, and pushing propaganda that Ukraine's historic existence doesn't make sense. i want to know why you hold the defenders in this war responsible for acts of war, and i want to know why you take issue with calling a genocide a genocide
