@UN Dear UN, not diminishing your efforts, but 1 year on you still seem unable to identify Russia as the perpetrator of this horrific event. Ukrainians deserve that level of respect. Also worth mentioning that Russia blocked you from aiding victims in the affected occupied areas.

Israeli forces blew up residential buildings in Lebanon’s Naqoura region, causing widespread destruction to what appears to be a civilian township. The attacks come as Israeli troops invaded parts of Lebanese territory, carrying out demolitions and strikes inside the sovereign nation. The escalation also included the destruction of surveillance cameras, including those used to monitor the safety of UN personnel near the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. The move to remove the cameras has drawn protest from the United Nations and raised concerns over the safety of peacekeepers. While Israel uses the pretext of targeting Hezbollah, the scale of destruction to homes and civilian infrastructure shows the growing impact on civilians across southern Lebanon. Critics say Israel is exploiting the conflict to expand its territory, advancing further into Lebanese land.

ZELENSKYY: Ukrainian positions are stronger now than in previous years. Since beginning of the year, we have liberated 590 kilometers of our territory. We continue to increase the rate of destruction of Russian personnel. The trend is definitely not in interests of the occupier.
