Russia Ukraine: Thursday, the Russian Deputy Chief of the Security Council and former president Dmitry Medvedev said “there can be no talk of non-nuclear status for the Baltic” in case Finland and Sweden decide to become members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Both countries have expressed their intention to join the Alliance following Putin’s Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow pic.twitter.com/miSOL5zvuA

A village on Donbas was shelled by Russia and a puppy was under the debris. Rescuers were able to save him and give him back to the owner (who himself narrowly escaped death from shelling). Rescue services work 24/7 doing the hardest work and saving lives.#UkraineUnderAttaсk pic.twitter.com/skbX6I4MDg

Russia claimed their goal in 🇺🇦 is to “protect people in Donbas”. Right now 🇷🇺 mobile crematoria are burning people’s bodies in #Mariupol, the second largest city of the region. Those who survived are dying from starvation. What are you “protecting” them from? From life? pic.twitter.com/BT1AfdHPAl
