Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

The purpose of the UN is to have a diplomatic environment where all can be heard in front of all others.

A dialogue that fails to yield productive policy is mere busy work.

It’s to encourage diplomatic solutions to problems and to defuse conflicts.

Right now we're having a debate over whether a ceasefire would be antisemitic. That's not a conversation that behooves diplomatic solutions or defuses conflicts. It just serves to distract public attention while folks in Gaza are exterminated.

We all hope that you'll graduate into the diplomatic corps of whatever place you're in and single-handedly solve the world's problems. Best luck to you.

There's certain openings. Since the war started, even Biden's designated state department armies dealer can no longer stomach the job.
