YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Russia launched a fourth day of missile strikes against multiple Ukrainian cities and towns Thursday, targeting Ukraine's electricity systems and leaving many areas without power. The escalated attacks come after President Vladimir Putin had accused Ukraine of blowing up a key bridge connecting Russia to Crimea last week. Meanwhile, the United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn Russia's annexation of four territories seized from Ukraine. "The invasion of Ukraine is not some type of historical inertia. The ideology of Putin is a product of the past two centuries," says Hanna Perekhoda, a Ukrainian graduate history student at the University of Lausanne, whose family in Donetsk was thrown into war eight years ago. Berlin-based Russian climate activist Arshak Makichyan, who fled his country in March, says that while he doesn't believe negotiations with Putin are possible, the international community should engage Russian civil society as part of any solution toward ending the war.
