Russia has long been #shelling #Ukraine with #cluster munitions, targeting cities and #civilians in particular. The most shocking case of Russia's use of cluster munitions was the #attack on the #Kramatorsk train station in April 2022, when more than 60 people died, and 121 were injured. #war https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/16/7411567/

Heute vor einer Woche starb Victoria #Amelina infolge eines russischen Raketenangriffs auf ein Restaurant in #Kramatorsk. Sie wurde 37 Jahre alt. Hier ist ihr letzter Text. https://www.piqd.de/reportagen/der-letzte-text-von-victoria-amelina?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=user_sharing https://www.arrowsmithpress.com/homo-oblivious @gesellmann via @piqd_de

And some food for thought from Victoria #Amelina 💔, the smashing talent of a Ukranian writer who died following #Russia 's attack of #Kramatorsk this week - something i always struggled to explain to people who were not born in Central Europe:
"We were Europeans under attack, but it was mainly our problem.

In November #1956 , the director of the #Hungarian news agency sent a message via telex to the world, shortly before Russian artillery wrecked his office. " (cont.)

"If we discover gatherings like those in Kramatorsk,we will destroy them, because these are the people who declared war on us!"
- Lavrov

Tätä lausetta voi kukin tahoillaan miettiä. Absurdi (viimeinen?) yritys kääntää asia päälaelleen ja väittää Ukrainan hyökänneen Venäjälle. Virallinen Venäjä hyväksyy nyt myös avoimesti siviilien tahallisen ja tietoisen murhaamisen. Epävirallisesti tämä on ollut toki käytäntö jo pitkään.

Venäjä on roisto- ja murhaajavaltio.

". . .head of the #Duma defence committee, Colonel-General Andrei #Kartapolov, saluted the attack on #Kramatorsk, saying: “I take my hat off to those who planned it, who carried it out. My old #military heart rejoices when I see how many of these #kids’ #bodies are being dug up, sometimes with tattoos, sometimes with emblems.” Among the bodies there are those of the 14-year-old #twins Yulia and Anna Aksenchenko."

Michael McFaul
Leaders of the free world, do not become numb to Russia's terrorism, including most recently in #Kramatorsk. Speed up the end to this invasion by giving Ukrainians ATACMs, F16s, cluster munitions, now.

McFaul gets it. All this dithering is prolonging the war. Let's make this a proxy-war, because it won't take much at this point for Russia to crumble into dust.
