Pure horror: Russian soldiers are deliberately killing Ukrainian civilians trying to flee. A mother & 2 children were killed and father wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety.

Ukrainian Family’s Dash for Safety Ends in Death

IRPIN, Ukraine — The bridge was just a shell of its old self, blown up days earlier by Ukrainian soldiers intent on slowing the Russian advance on the capital, Kyiv, but battered as it was, it offered a lifeline to civilians desperate to flee the fighting.

On Sunday, as Ukrainian refugees were milling near the entrance to the structure, calculating their odds of making it safely over the Irpin River, a family laden with backpacks and a blue roller suitcase decided to chance it.

The Russian mortar hit just as they made it across into Kyiv.

2. Moscow Mike Johnson

Needs to be spammed to death with this image. All his social media, his offices, everywhere. Even if only his staff sees it, some members of his public will before staff remove it.

8. It rather looks like it

4. Add these poor people to Putin's murdered list

5. Moses Mike supports this

Along with the pro Putin Freedom Caucus.

6. All with the support of the Republican Party. They have no shame.

Any doubt just look @ how Trump, Flynn, and Manafort changed the platform @
2016 RNC in order to help Russia, hurt the Ukrainians and Zelenskyy, and paying
no attention to Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine and the Crimea which got a big
helping hand from then our National Security Adviser Mike Flynn.
The changes were with the help of Putin operatives who were at that convention.

7. Heartbreaking image, hard to look at.

No surprise Republicans are doing nothing. These are the same people who do nothing when American children are gunned down in schools.
