If you're wondering why russians can murder several Red Cross staff members in cold blood while the Red Cross refuses to even name WHO did it, see who putin's Foreign Minister likes to spend time with.
NEVER give money to the Red Cross, it's another russian occupied entity.

⚡Freeland voices concern over Canadian funds going to ‘Russians at War’ documentary to be screened at Toronto film festival.
Canadian government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, have strongly criticized the use of public funds to support a controversial documentary that portrays Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
The film "Russians at War," directed by Russian-Canadian filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova, received $250,000 (340,000 Canadian dollars) in funding from the Canada Media Fund during their 2022-2023 fiscal year.
Outrage erupts over Canadian tax dollars funding ‘Russians at War’ documentary
The controversy surrounding Canadian-Russian filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova's "Russians at War" documentary has intensified following revelations that Canada, despite being a staunch supporter of Ukraine in its fight against Russia, awarded public funds to a film that is accused of whitewashing Russian war crimes.
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress, the largest organization representing the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, has been one of the most vocal critics of “Russians at War.” They have repeatedly raised the issue over the amount of public and private Canadian funding – at least $312,000 (425,000 Canadian dollars) – the film received.

❗️The Russians hit a ship with wheat for Egypt in the Black Sea with a missile, — Zelensky
According to available information, there were no victims. The strike was carried out after the vessel left Ukrainian territorial waters.
President Zelensky made the following statement:
"A Russian missile against a cargo of wheat for Egypt. Today's strike in the Black Sea was against an ordinary civilian vessel immediately after leaving Ukrainian territorial waters. According to preliminary data, fortunately, there were no casualties.
Ukraine is one of the key global donors of food security. The internal stability and life of dozens of countries in different parts of the world depends on the normal and smooth operation of our export food corridor.
Our food supply to countries in Africa and the Middle East region is critical. We will continue to do everything to protect our ports, our Black Sea and the supply of food to the global market. This is a real priority for Ukraine - the protection of life, and it should be a priority for every country as well.
We are waiting for the reaction of the world. Wheat and food security should never be a target for missiles."
"There was only enough food to stay alive": the story of Stanislav, who was in Russian captivity.
Stanislav was captured in the Kupiansk direction. Despite his wounds, he continued a close combat with the occupiers. Until the last moment, he hoped for an evacuation vehicle, but the Russians, unfortunately, got to him first.
Stanislav lost 22 kilograms in captivity. He recalls that prisoners were kept in cages.
