Thank you Belle, imagine coming out of a shelter after listening to a bombardment all night long and seeing your home destroyed, its heartbreaking what he's done to those innocent Ukrainians. Tom

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.

Thank you very much Victor, it will be a long time before Russia is accepted back into the world community, they are now a pariah state. Tom

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...

Thank you Michael, it must be horrific to wake up that's if they sleep through the bombardment to see your town flattened by indiscriminate shelling overnight. Tom

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

Thank you David, listening to that bombardment through the night and coming out of the shelters to see that devastation. The people will never get over it, scarred for life. Tom
