The Kremlin’s strikes in Ukraine today hit non-military targets and killed civilians. They demonstrate again who is in the right and who is in the wrong. To the people of Ukraine: The United States stands with you.

Nationwide air-raid alerts happening now throughout #Ukraine w/ reports of #Russian missiles en route. Seems to be a repeat of yesterday. Many people gathering calmly in appointed shelters, including this one in #Lviv w/ makeshift sofas and even coffee.
