Ukraine's Sumy region, Russians continue the massacres.

Damage to Baltic Sea cables was sabotage, German minister says

1000 days of avoidable tragedy. 1000 days of lost time. 1000 days of sacrifice and heroism of Ukraine's best and bravest. 1000 days of defiance against 1000 days of terror. 1000 days too many. And if we stick with our current failed strategy, the next 1000 days might be worse.

The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

The full damage of Barack Obama's appeasement policy will take decades to estimate. One thing is clear though, Obama's "reset" with Russia and the appeasement that became Obama's signature foreign policy gave Russia, and others, a free card for aggression, with horrible consequences.
