UN member states act irresponsibly when they fail to establish a peacekeeping presence in Ukraine. The Russian veto in the Security Council is not a problem /6

I fear the government is very complacent on its Russian sanctions regime. It’s still not as tough as on Iran. We need to sanction all the banks, disentangle business involvement in Russia, remove tier one visas, sanction Putin’s minor apparatchiks. Mariupol alone demands it

#StopBloodyTrade study this list of companies that do business as usual@in #Russia. They pay tax, which pays for bullets that kill #Ukraine’s children. You can help stop the murder by NOT buying the brands in the picture

#Russia is scattering cassette bombs with PFM-1 petal mines across #Ukraine. Geneva conventions specifically prohibits this. #144ipu must unite efforts to condemn #RussianAggression
