A new escalation is recorded in Ukraine in anticipation of the resumption of negotiations and the enforcement of the grounds for peace. According to Interfax reports, for the second day in a row Moscow has warned of “having used a hypersonic missile against Ukrainian military targets”. While Kyiv Independence accused Russian forces of taking “thousands of Ukrainian civilians” to “camps” where their cellphones and documents were “checked” and then “deported to remote Russian cities.” But on Telegram, quoted by the BBC and Sky News, the Mariupol city authorities make an even more serious allegation: last night a school where “about 400 people had taken refuge” was bombed.
The allegation, according to the BBC, has not yet been “independently verified”.
After nearly two weeks in a bunker, 71 orphans “were evacuated from Sumy and taken to safer areas,” according to The Kyiv Independent. “These are children who, for various reasons, do not have parents and most of them need constant medical attention.”
Meanwhile, in his new video, in which he says that “the crimes committed by the Russians in Mariupol by the Russians will go down in history,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Zelenskyy also announces that “the activities of 11 Ukrainian political parties will be limited and brought under control, some of which would have direct ties to Moscow.’ Including the Opposition For Life platform, one of the largest proRussian parties represented in Kiev’s parliament. The restrictions will apply ‘while martial law consists”.
But it doesn’t look like only bombs are coming from Moscow. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the military has delivered “more than 75 tons of humanitarian aid to Kherson,” including “grain, pasta, sugar and other food.”
And international solidarity with the wartorn country continues. Australia announces that it intends to “supply 70,000 tonnes of thermal coal to ensure Ukraine’s energy security” and Secretary of State Payne also states that Ukrainian refugees housed in Australia will be given “a threeyear visa” granted to him allowed to have government health insurance and a work permit”.
Finally, it also struggles with the music. I Beton, a selfdescribed “hardcore punk” Ukrainian band made up of an architect, an orthopedist and a businessman, rewrites the 1979 Clash’s famous “London Calling”: “Kyiv calling to the whole world .. . come out of neutrality, you boys and girls “(Kyiv is calling the whole world … come out of neutrality, boys and girls). Your “Sos” to the world, align yourself with Ukraine’s side against the Russian invader reflects the outcry of London punk rockers, who expressed their despair at the social unrest in Britain and the nuclear terror following the Three Mile Island accident in “London Calling”.
