One city suburb. One street. One month. And this list of names is only the people the @nytimes could identify.
The youngest was just fourteen years old.
This is who Russia is.
Europe will never be safe until Ukraine is, and the people responsible for this are in The Hauge.
Using exclusive phone logs, military files and 23TB of video, we unmasked the Russian unit and commander that killed dozens of people on one street in Bucha

Search and rescue operations have now been underway for three days at the site of the Russian strike on a school in the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. The Russians used nine aerial bombs. They first struck people who had come to receive humanitarian aid, and then first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene.
All necessary services are involved. It is an extremely difficult operation, very challenging, and it is being carried out under virtually constant threat of new Russian strikes. As of now, 40 people have been reported killed. Unfortunately, some bodies have not yet been identified. My condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed. More than 30 people may still be under the rubble.
Unfortunately, there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack. But it, like thousands upon thousands of other war crimes Russia has committed against Ukraine and Ukrainians, demands a strong response. Evil always goes further if it is left unanswered. We count on a response – Ukraine needs air defense support right now. I am grateful to the partners who are taking such steps.

Horrifying police bodycam footage from Russia’s terrorist attack on civilians in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Police officers responding to the initial strike receive a warning of incoming Russian guided bombs and rush to gather civilians into a school bomb shelter.
Moments later, a Russian bomb strikes directly into the shelter filled with civilians, burying them beneath the rubble.
At least 31 people have been killed, including four police officers and two rescuers. Another 59 are listed as missing.
The death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue.

Russians have released drone footage of them dropping a multi-ton guided bomb on a school in Zaporizhzhia, setting it to pop music.
This strike killed over 30 people.
This is Russian culture.

It's the war but it's also the nonsensical tariffs, and the naked corruption, and the masked goons rounding up grandmothers, and the HGTV presidency. Trump's whole second term has been one costly, tawdry act of national self-harm. Turns out that's unpopular!

33 people have now been confirmed killed in the Russian massacre at the humanitarian aid distribution centre in Komyshuvakha. 50 are still missing.

Meanwhile, Putin is once again preparing to send the very same Vladimir Medinsky to yet another round of pointless and meaningless “negotiations” with Ukraine.
Medinsky, a notorious conspiracy theorist and pseudo-historical freak, a nobody in Russia, who, during previous equally pointless charades masquerading as “negotiations,” was already delivering lectures about how Russia was prepared to fight forever because Tsar Peter the Great fought Sweden for 21 years in the 18th century.
I wonder, don’t Donald Trump and his entourage find this ridiculous themselves by now? Aren’t they tired of Putin making complete idiots and laughingstocks of them, over and over again, with such undisguised delight?
Again and again, year after year, in this absurd never-ending Groundhog Day.
Or is the illusion of frantic activity, the endless shows, the complete substitution of wishful thinking for reality, and all the empty hot air without the slightest hint of actual results really all that matters to them?

29 dead following murderous Russian bombing of Ukraine’s Komyshuvakha.
48 more are missing.

Komyshuvakha, Ukraine.
Russia simply dropped an aerial bomb on a local school where people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid. And when they went to a shelter, Russia dropped another NINE (!!!) glide bombs on it.
The result: at least 24 people killed, including at least two rescue workers who had arrived to help the victims.
Someone please explain to me how this is anything other than yet another blatant act of genocide committed by Russia against Ukrainians.

Why, it's almost as if...

No shit.
Tomorrow China would send troops without insignia into Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Blagoveshchensk, and suddenly these regions would develop an overwhelming desire to exercise their “right to self-determination.”
They’d even hold sham “referendums” on tree stumps for Chinese state TV, suddenly discover that they’d always been Chinese and want to reunite with the Middle Kingdom.
I have no doubt this would have your wholehearted support, given how principled and universalist we are about these things.

A reminder:
Russia occupied Oleshky.
Russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam and flooded Oleshky.
Russia mined the roads and shot Oleshky residents who were trying to flee so they could disguise their troops amongst Ukrainian civilians.

15-year-olds Yana and Masha. 💔 Killed by a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv on today.
The girls were 10th-grade students. They had their whole lives ahead of them. If only it weren't for Russia.

So basically what everyone feared would happen is happening.
Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation.
The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation.
There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible.
The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians.
The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.

A man screams by the corpse of his teenage daughter. Putin’s humanitarian efforts in Chernihiv today.

💔 Russian monsters killed a Canadian volunteer who was saving animals in Ukraine
Canadian Jesse Adams was killed on October 25 while evacuating animals from Kramatorsk. A Russian FPV drone struck a vehicle belonging to Animal Rescue Kharkiv.
Adams suffered severe injuries. Doctors tried to save him, but he died in hospital.
The Canadian joined the team in May 2026 and travelled with Ukrainian rescuers to frontline communities to help people and evacuate animals.

And nearly simultaneously, two 15-year-old girls were killed in another Russian strike in Chernihiv. Continued, deliberate murder of Ukrainian civilians by Russia. nitter.cf/United24media/status/2…

At least 13 civilians dead as they were hit by a Russian drone as they waited for a train in Dnipro. Another atrocity committed by the "humanitarian" sitting in the Kremlin.
