What people are saying?

Brett Not a horrible statement but it would be better to go further. The only way for peace in Ukraine would be for the Russian occupation forces to leave. Ukrainian forces are only defending their territory against invaders, is not the aggressor here at all.

Miss Celestial Something really has to be done about Russia’s underhand global tactics. It’s quite sickening. 60 homes in Myanmar’s Chin State were burned to the ground today while Russia met with the Myanmar Military responsible. Russia actively & openly supply all weapons of war to junta.
