@chrisdavidyork: What to do if Russia fires a ballistic missile at you. How did you feel when your alarm went off this morning? Tired? Groggy? Annoyed? Well in Kyiv last night, that alarm was the sound of ballistic missiles exploding, and as well as the sheer terror that comes from waking up like that, at least 9 people didn't wake up at all. Listen to this quote from a woman the Kyiv Independent spoke to this morning from outside a destroyed building where her aunt and brother lived. Thankfully they survived but are both in hospital. She said: "I want to ask the world, which is so afraid of Putin, not to be afraid of him. He has to be stopped. He is a monstrous person, and the society that supports him is deeply sick. "They have no right to bring only grief wherever they go. They create nothing. They build nothing. They don’t strive for good. They are a country rich in oil and gas — they could have prospered. Instead, they choose to spread death." And she's not wrong - here’s why. #ukraine #ukrainewar #kyiv #war #russia
