“Kharkiv. Russian terror against the city is becoming especially vile
. Attempts to obscure more than a million people, constant attacks with missiles and drones. Now even aerial bombs. On a normal street, on houses, schools, civilian infrastructure,” Ukrainian president Volodomyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram after the Russian bombing of a residential area in Kharkiv.
"At least 19 people were injured, including children. Strengthening Ukraine's defense and accelerating the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine is vital. It is inexplicable why we don't have Patriots to defend us from Russian terrorists."
Meanwhile, Joe Biden once again defines Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "butcher"
during a rally held yesterday in North Carolina.
Speaking about his proposal to raise taxes on the richest, the US president said that the $400 billion in additional revenue linked to a tax increase to 25% could be used to "dramatically reduce the federal deficit... We could do so many things… including finally making sure we protect Ukraine from that butcher Putin.”
On March 26, 2022, Biden had already called Putin a "butcher" during a meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw.
