NAnews — Israel News: The Broader View
This night once again showed: Russia is a terrorist state and child killer. The powerful words of Zelensky and the updates from Ukraine’s State Emergency Service highlight the scale of the horror that Ukrainians endure every night. NAnews — Israel News continues to follow these tragic events, sharing how terrorism is a common threat for Ukraine, Israel, and the entire world.
This Cannot Be Ignored
This night was another terrible night for Ukraine. More than 300 drones and 70 missiles, deliberate strikes on homes, the death of children and civilians — this is not “military operation,” this is terrorism. Ukraine stands firm and continues to fight, but the world must act — otherwise, silence becomes complicity.
