A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

Черговий дикий злочин росіян, на тлі якого Трамп та його шайка й далі розповідають про "гуманізм" путіна. nitter.cf/Sueta_inc/status/21157…

Je viens d'apprendre avec émotion qu'un drone à réaction russe vient de s'abattre sur la gare de Dnipro, avec un très lourd bilan. J'adresse au Président @ZelenskyyUa et au peuple ukrainien mes condoléances et notre solidarité. Nous devons, dans ce contexte, aspirer à bien plus qu'un cessez-le-feu localisé comme celui qui vient d'être négocié localement à Olechky. Il est intolérable que la Russie continue d'opposer son refus à toutes les propositions en ce sens, en continuant de miser sur l'escalade et en visant les civils. Nous devons ensemble redoubler d'efforts pour une paix juste et durable et amener la Russie à la table des négociations.

Samia Nkrumah, daughter of Ghana’s First President, Kwame Nkrumah, attends the Russia-Africa media summit in Moscow together with other descendants of African liberation leaders: “The Russians helped us during our long and sometimes violent independence struggle all over the continent. So there is some goodwill there which we hope we can capitalize on to do more for our future in Africa.”
