Mehr als 50 tote Menschen in #Hrosa. Solange Bomben auf Supermarkte und Cafes hageln, tun wir alles dafur, dass sich die #Ukraine vor Putins Raketenterror schutzen kann.

Solange, bis ein Alltag ohne Angst und Tod wieder moglich ist.

Quote from Gylfadottir: "Russia's war of choice against Ukraine is not a "dispute" or a "conflict" - it has no moral or legal justification.

It is a war for territorial conquest in complete violation of international law and the UN Charter," Gylfadottir said.
