Hi Tom what a humanitarian disaster has come upon us by the evil one, a grey morning awakening with no food, no electricity, no water, no medicines, a dire situation. Hugs and blessing my friend for your commitment and wonderful poetry. Blessings, Jennifer

Since I was born in the times of WWll I have always seen such devastation. Russia should be condemned for its atrocities.

Tom the picture shows us what evil does. He will be held accountable for every life taken... Eternal torture that he will not be able to stop. Only a fool would wish that on themselves. Be well my friend andkeep praying for an end to this madness...

Simply unbelievable what that SOB Putin is doing to these people! May he suffer a hundred times more than the suffering he is bestowing upon these fine, courageous folks.

Thank you Milton, there is no justification for what he's doing and he's just creating a hell on earth for those poor innocent people and those kids traumatised for life. I hope he burns for eternity for his crimes. Tom

Your morning shines a light on what happened in the night, and it doesn’t look like a military target to me, only another direct hit on a civilian complex, a graphic monoku Tom, cheers David
