CNN's Brianna Keilar names some of Ukraine's child victims and struggles through tears to explain how they died from Russian weapons. Watch it. https://t.co/3S4WI14XNb

In the village school, the Russians had taken most of the computers, the projectors and other electronic equipment. An opened pair of scissors had been inserted into a plasma screen. What could not be stolen was instead destroyed.https://t.co/JfAfTfVw3E

Ukrainian mothers are writing their family contacts on the bodies of their children in case they get killed and the child survives. And Europe is still discussing gas. pic.twitter.com/sK26wnBOWj

New Srebrenica. The Ukrainian city of Bucha was in the hands of 🇷🇺 animals for several weeks. *Local civillians were being executed arbitrarily*, some with hands tied behind their backs, their bodies scattered in the streets of the city.#RussianWarCrimes pic.twitter.com/outzejdidO

Rape has always happened in wars, but the Russian army treats it as normal:

Another horrific story. About a woman & her son Danya (6) in #Mariupol. Husband got “arrested” by #RussianArmy. She got raped for days. Danya was in the room. She didn’t survive. Danya stopped talking. Boy’s in a #Kyiv hospital now.#RussianWarCrimes #StandWithUkraine

Reports coming out that Russians rape children.Maybe I’m naïve, never thought it’s a possibility. In an intercepted Russian call a case is described when 3 soldiers raped a 14 year old & her mom.A volunteer from Bucha describes cases of 13 & 12 y.o.girls whose parents were killed
