‘Ceasefire now’ — Trump’s Ukraine envoy reacts to Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine
“The indiscriminate killing of women and children at night in their homes is a clear violation of the 1977 Geneva Peace Protocols designed to protect innocents.

not a paywall.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

Can we reach 20,000 members?
