"I called on Ireland to persuade its EU partners to toughen sanctions against Russia. Toughten to the extent where they will really stop the military machine of Russia. We need to stop any trade with Russia. We need to block the connections between Russian banks and the financial system of the world. We need to interrupt the oil money flow Russia is spending on missiles, bombs, artillery shellings... The world has already invented the appropriate mechanisms. Everyone knows what should be done. The only obstacle is the deficiency of principles of separate leaders. For the nonce. Political leaders. Business leaders. Those who still think that the war and war crimes are not as bad as the financial losses. I am sure that the leadership of Ireland can change that."

„The murderers sweep away their traces. Russian mobile crematorium work in Mariupol”, – Mariupol City Council.

The murderers sweep away their traces. Russian mobile crematorium work in Mariupol. After the wide international publicity of the genocide in Bucha, the top leadership of the Russian Federation ordered to destroy any evidence of the crimes of their army in Mariupol. A week ago cautious estimation put the death toll at 5 thousands. But considering the size of the city, catastrophic destruction, the duration of the blockade and fierce resistance, tens of thousands of civilians from Mariupol could have had fallen victims to the occupiers. That is why Russia is in no hurry to give the green light to the Turkish mission and other initiatives to save and fully evacuate Mariupol. Moreover, occupants try to identify through filtration camps and destroy all potential witnesses to their atrocities.

All the dirty work Russians have left to the collaborators. The eye-witnesses inform that Russcists enlist into specialized brigades local citizens and terrorists from the “DNR”. They collect and burn the bodies of tortured and killed in the result of Russian invasion citizens of Mariupol. The work of these groups is being coordinated directly by self-proclaimed mayor-collaborator Kostyantyn Ivaschenko. For many years he and his henchmen tried to seize power, but eventually he managed to become the director of Mariupol crematorium.

“The world has not witnessed the scale of the tragedy of Mariupol since the existence of Nazi concentration camps. Russcists turned our city into the death camp. Unfortunately, this chilling analogy receives more and more confirmations. It is not even Chechnya or Aleppo. It is the new Oświęcim and Majdanek. The world has to help to punish the non-humans of Putin”.

The Head of the MFA Dmytro Kuleba: it will take a gas/oil embargo and de-SWIFTing of all Russian banks to stop Putin. Difficult times require difficult decisions.

I appreciate the strengthening of the 5th EU sanctions package: bans on Russian coal, vessels accessing EU ports, and road transport operators. But it will take a gas/oil embargo and de-SWIFTing of all Russian banks to stop Putin. Difficult times require difficult decisions.
