Amalia accused Russia of deliberately launching attacks against civilians in Ukraine, citing strikes on apartment buildings, schools, shopping centers, public transport, playgrounds, and bridges. She argued that most of the victims were Russian-speaking individuals in Eastern Ukraine and criticized those who, as she wrote, showed sensitivity towards Palestine and Iran in Greece, but not towards Ukrainians. Regarding the recent strikes, she mentioned that in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, 22 civilians were killed, including 5 children—three of them one year old—and 54 were injured. For Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, she wrote that two city buses were attacked and 33 people were killed, while the number of injured remained unknown. She added that 9 people were also killed in Kyiv, 2 in Kremenchuk, 2 in Konotop, 2 in Oleksandriia, and 1 in Zaporizhzhia, raising the death toll of civilian casualties over the two days to 71, according to her. Regarding the negotiations with U.S. intervention, Amalia claimed that Zelensky was accepting a ceasefire with the troops in their current positions and was asking for guarantees from the West. She stated that pro-Russian separatist forces controlled 60% of Donetsk Oblast before the Russian invasion of 2022, that since then the Russian army had captured an additional 20%, and that it had not managed to capture the remaining 20%. She asserted that Putin did not want a ceasefire, but a peace agreement that would require Zelensky to go to Moscow, the demilitarization of Ukraine, a constitutional commitment not to seek EU or NATO membership, and the recognition of the territories occupied by Russia since 2014, including Crimea. She added that Russia was also demanding the surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk Oblast that it had not captured. Amalia compared the situation to Cyprus, where, as she wrote, since August 1974 a ceasefire had been in effect under UN supervision, without a permanent peace agreement, because Turkey demanded recognition of the loss of territories and the pseudostate. She concluded that Russia sought, in her view, the humiliation of Ukraine and not peace. #Ουκρανία #Ειρήνη #Πόλεμος (translated)
