Call with my French counterpart @JY_LeDrian . France supports banning Russia from SWIFT. I urged to immediately introduce the third package of EU sanctions to stop Russian invasion. France is also ready to supply weapons and military equipment to help Ukraine defend itself.
According to the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Russia may be planning a dirty bomb attack on its own territory to blame on the Ukrainians to justify a massive escalation in the war. This is not hyperbole. Putin did exactly this with apartment bombs in 1999 and blamed on Chechnya
I made the tweet as soon as I received the video from a close friend in Ukraine, I thought they died but thank god, the driver is still alive

#Ukraine The moment of an attack on a residential building in #Kyiv was caught on video.
For Putin, Ukrainians are guilty because they want to live in an independent country. They are guilty because they don’t like him enough. How else can Putin justify targeting innocent people?
In #Zaporozhye, people are looking for the shooter who opened fire on civilians in a bomb shelter.
Highly appreciate India’s independent and balanced position at the voting in the UNSC on February 25, 2022. In the spirit of the special and privileged strategic partnership Russia is committed to maintain close dialogue with India on the situation around Ukraine
US-backed Middle East states cozy up to Russia during Ukraine invasion
A few months later, the Ukrainian government asked the U.S. government to purchase the Iron Dome anti-missile system. Because the Iron Dome is a joint U.S.-Israeli project, the sale also required permission from the Israeli government, which Israel reportedly refused to grant.
That refusal was not based on any concern with whether the sale was a good idea for Eastern Europe, but on Israel’s desire to maintain a good relationship with Russia, according to the Times of Israel. Russia, which has forces stationed in Syria, gives Israel tacit permission to intervene in the Syrian civil war.
Kyiv, our splendid, peaceful city, survived another night under attacks by Russian ground forces, missiles. One of them has hit a residential apartment in Kyiv. I demand the world: fully isolate Russia, expel ambassadors, oil embargo, ruin its economy. Stop Russian war criminal
Ukrainian foreign minister calls for Russian oil embargo
Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba called on Saturday for a full isolation of Russia, including an embargo on the purchases of Russian crude.
„I demand the world: fully isolate Russia, expel ambassadors, oil embargo, ruin its economy,“ Kuleba wrote on Twitter.
Volunteer fighters armed with assault rifles patrolled central Kyiv on Friday, ready to defend their country.
Kyiv continues to defy an intensifying Russian assault
The ministry of defence called on residents to stop Russian tanks with Molotov cocktails. In parts of the city, trucks were seen handing out rifles to anyone who would take them. Petro Poroshenko, a former president, gave interviews with a Kalashnikov in hand, surrounded by a dozen soldiers with machine guns and British-Swedish made NLAW anti-tank weapons.
This is a real war, and the whole of the city is on edge.
Kyiv now. Total silence. No Russians here in the centre
After prolonged fighting, #Vasylkiv remains under #Ukrainian control.

#Ukraine President Zelensky and his administration recorded a short video addressing Ukrainians. They confirmed that they are in Kyiv and are ready to defend the city
