⚠️ Ecocide & Nuclear Terror
- Destruction of the Kakhovka Dam — the largest man-made disaster of the 21st century. Over 80 towns flooded, the reservoir gone, ecosystems ruined.
- Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant — Europe’s largest, seized and turned into a military base. Reactors mined, staff tortured, threat of nuclear disaster.
- IAEA recorded hundreds of shelling incidents near reactors; Russia attempted to divert the plant into its energy grid.
🚀 Daily Terror
- Shahed drone strikes on Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv — nightly attacks with dozens of drones, targeting residential blocks, hospitals, recruitment centers, schools.
These facts are not just numbers. They are the record of genocide, ecocide, and systematic terror committed by Russia against Ukraine. Each one is a call for justice, support for Ukraine, and global accountability.
