As I write this on New Year’s Eve, it’s day 676 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Just an hour ago, Russian missiles destroyed a grain storage in the city of Kupyansk, a cruel and senseless act of violence. The Kremlin’s obsession with grain is well-documented, and it’s no surprise they would resort to such tactics. The implications are dire, as seen in the devastating effects of their previous attacks on grain facilities and fields.

As the war rages on, the Ukrainian Rescuers are working tirelessly to evacuate survivors and recover bodies. In the city of Kiev, 19 civilians have been found dead, with eight more released from the rubble and hospitalized. Meanwhile, Germany has pledged to freeze Russian assets worth almost $4 billion, belonging to sanctioned oligarchs and establishments, to fund Ukraine’s reconstruction.

In an outrageous display, Russian sources are admitting to using civilians as human shields, including the Governor of Belgrade, who wrote that Russian troops are shelling Ukraine from the city. This is not just war, but terrorism. The Russian military has launched multiple missile attacks, claiming to have downed 30 out of 70 drones, with the rest hitting military targets in Belgrade.

In a disturbing revelation, it’s revealed that Russia has recruited prisoners from their own prisons, including a rapist who was arrested for 27 counts of rape and two murder charges. This is not just war, but a moral abomination. As the world enters a new year, we can only hope for a better future and a swift end to this senseless conflict.
