US dismisses Polish plan to provide fighter jets to be sent to Ukraine

Poles believed to have 28 Soviet-era jets they hope the US will replace with newer planes – but Pentagon says plan ‘not tenable’

“We will continue to consult with Poland and our other Nato allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland’s proposal is a tenable one,” John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said.

ODESSA, March 8 (Reuters) - They fear a Russian attack is imminent, but soldiers in Ukraine's Odessa took time to buy friends and family flowers for Women's Day on Tuesday even though life in the Black Sea port has been turned upside down.

"I bought flowers, oddly enough, for my mother-in-law and my wife to congratulate them on March 8," said Yuriy, a reservist in Ukraine's Territorial Defence forces, speaking by a street stall selling pots of brightly coloured hyacinths and cyclamen, and bunches of tulips.



"War or no war, our women need to be protected, loved and respected."

Odessa is home to one million people and its port is crucial to Ukraine's economy. Locals have been filling bags with sand on the beach to build barriers in the historic city and taking part in weapons training, amid mounting dread of an attack as Russian forces move through Ukraine.

Pentagon officials said on Monday that the city of Kherson, some 145 km (90 miles) east of Odessa, has been taken by Russian troops and Ukraine Maritime Administration officials said heavy fighting has reached the town of Mykolaiv, between Odessa and Kherson.

Soldier Dmitriy clutched pink and yellow tulips which he had bought his fellow female soldiers.

"They [women] also serve (in the army), they also protect our country, they also help us, they bring positivity... we must always remember them."

International Women's Day aims to recognize the achievements of women and highlight the campaign for gender equality. It has a long tradition in eastern European countries and across the former Soviet Union, where men often mark the day by buying flowers or gifts for women.

Flower vendor Alena tied a bouquet of blue and yellow tulips, the national colours of Ukraine.

"I made it for peace, for peace everywhere," she said.

 An Open Letter to the Global Media by Olena Zelenska
 8 March 2022 - 22:11
  


Recently, an overwhelming number of media outlets from around the world have reached out with requests for interviews. This letter serves as my answer to these requests and is my testimony from Ukraine.


What happened just over a week ago was impossible to believe. Our country was peaceful; our cities, towns, and villages were full of life.


On February 24th, we all woke up to the announcement of a Russian invasion. Tanks crossed the Ukrainian border, planes entered our airspace, missile launchers surrounded our cities.


Despite assurances from Kremlin-backed propaganda outlets, who call this a "special operation" - it is, in fact, the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians.


Perhaps the most terrifying and devastating of this invasion are the child casualties. Eight-year-old Alice who died on the streets of Okhtyrka while her grandfather tried to protect her. Or Polina from Kyiv, who died in the shelling with her parents. 14-year-old Arseniy was hit in the head by wreckage, and could not be saved because an ambulance could not get to him on time because of intense fires.
When Russia says that it is 'not waging war against civilians,' I call out the names of these murdered children first.

Our women and children now live in bomb shelters and basements. You have most likely all seen these images from Kyiv and Kharkiv metro stations, where people lie on the floors with their children and pets – trapped beneath. These are just consequences of war for some, for Ukrainians it now a horrific reality. In some cities families cannot get out of the bomb shelters for several days in a row because of the indiscriminate and deliberate bombing and shelling of civilian infrastructure.


The first newborn of the war, saw the concrete ceiling of the basement, their first breath was the acrid air of the underground, and they were greeted by a community trapped and terrorized. At this point, there are several dozen children who have never known peace in their lives.



This war is being waged against the civilian population, and not just through shelling.



Some people require intensive care and continuous treatment, which they cannot receive now. How easy is it to inject insulin in the basement? Or to get asthma medication under heavy fire? Not to mention the thousands of cancer patients whose essential access to chemotherapy and radiation treatment have now been indefinitely delayed.



Local communities on social media are full of despair. Many people, including the elderly, severely ill and those with disabilities, have been debilitatingly cut off, ending up far from their families and without any support. War against these innocent people is a double crime.



Our roads are flooded with refugees. Look into the eyes of these tired women and children who carry with them the pain and heartache of leaving loved ones and life as they knew it behind. The men bringing them to the borders shedding tears to break apart their families, but bravely returning to fight for our freedom. After all, despite all this horror, Ukrainians do not give up.



The aggressor, Putin, thought that he would unleash blitzkrieg on Ukraine. But he underestimated our country, our people, and their patriotism. Ukrainians, regardless of political views, native language, beliefs, and nationalities, stand in unparalleled unity.



While Kremlin propagandists bragged that Ukrainians would welcome them with flowers as saviors, they have been shunned with Molotov cocktails.



I thank the citizens of the attacked cities, who have coordinated to help those in need. Those that keep working - in pharmacies, stores, public transportation, and social services – showing that in Ukraine, life wins.



I acknowledge those that have provided humanitarian aid to our citizens and thank you for your continued support. And to our neighbors who have generously opened their borders to provide shelter for our women and children, thank you for keeping them safe, when the aggressor has rendered us unable to do so.



To all the people around the world who are rallying to support Ukraine. We see you! We’re here watching and appreciate your support.



Ukraine wants peace. But Ukraine will defend its borders. Defend its identity. These it will never yield.

In cities where shelling persists, where people find themselves under debris, unable to get out of basements for days, we need safe corridors for humanitarian aid and evacuation of civilians to safety. We need those in power to close our sky!



Close the sky, and we will manage the war on the ground ourselves.



I appeal to you, dear media: keep showing what is happening here and keep showing the truth. In the information war waged by the Russian Federation, every piece of evidence is crucial.



And with this letter, I testify and tell the world: the war in Ukraine is not a war "somewhere out there." This is a war in Europe, close to the EU borders. Ukraine is stopping the force that may aggressively enter your cities tomorrow under the pretext of saving civilians.



Last week to me and my people, this would have seemed like an exaggeration, but it is the reality we’re living in today. And we do not know how long it will last. If we don't stop Putin, who threatens to start a nuclear war, there will be no safe place in the world for any of us.



We will win. Because of our unity. Unity towards love for Ukraine.


Glory to Ukraine!

Awww, this is just tooooo cute.  Bird on an Ukrainian Soldier.  

A Ukrainian navy band in Odesa decided to lift the city's spirits by playing catchy songs in front of sandbags installed to defend against Putin's invasion.

Footage shows the military musicians blasting out renditions in front of the Odesa National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet, surrounded by defenses.

'We did not surrender Odesa to Hitler, and we will not surrender it to anyone else,' said Galyna Zitser, director of the Odesa Philharmonic, which on Tuesday put on its first performance since the crisis began, at the request of a local company seeking to celebrate a holiday.

Ukrainian children’s hospital bombed by Russian forces: ‘Pure genocide’


A Ukrainian children’s hospital was destroyed Wednesday in the latest devastating airstrike on Mariupol — where officials are already using mass graves to bury some of the thousands they say have been killed in “pure genocide.”

“The Russian occupying forces have dropped several bombs on the children’s hospital. The destruction is colossal,” the city’s official Telegram page wrote alongside video of the apparent bombing.

Other clips appeared to show a giant gaping mound of earth where part of the building had stood, with a car still in flames.

“People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!” President Volodymyr Zelensky also said while sharing a clip of the damage.


“Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity,” he wrote.

Officials said they did not know the numbers of casualties from the latest attack on the city that the Red Cross had said was already looking “apocalyptic,” with corpses on the streets. It wasn’t immediately clear how many children, if any, were being treated at the hospital.

Deputy Mayor Sergiy Orlov had earlier told CNN that they were among 1,207 civilians confirmed dead by late Monday — while predicting the real tally is likely “three to four times more.”


“Mariupol is under continuous shelling … each hour, each minute, each second,” he told CNN, saying there was “no cease-fire” despite Russia promising a safe corridor for those wanting to exit.

“This district does not exist anymore. There are no buildings without damage” or are destroyed, he said.

Orlov said he had been unable to contact his parents for eight days, saying he could only “hope and pray that they are alive.”


Social workers buried at least 40 bodies in an 80-foot-long trench Tuesday and another 47 on Wednesday, the Guardian reported. There were no mourners present.

“The attack being waged by Russia isn’t simply treacherous. It’s a war crime,” he said, according to the Guardian.

“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin is intent on having Ukraine without Ukrainians. It’s pure genocide.”
