OPEN LETTER FROM UKRAINE'S FIRST LADY: "EIGHT-YEAR-OLD ALICE... DIED ON THE STREETS"

By -


Ukraine's capital, Kiev: In an open letter to the world media on the Russian invasion, Ukraine's First Lady, Olena Zelenska, decried the Kremlin's "mass murder" of civilians, especially children.

Zelenska stated emphatically that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "unacceptable." "It was difficult to believe.

"We all awoke on February 24th to the declaration of a Russian invasion," she wrote.

"Tanks crossed the Ukrainian border, planes flew over our skies, and missile launchers encircled our cities."

Despite assurances from Kremlin-backed propaganda sources that this is a "special operation," the mass slaughter of Ukrainian citizens is taking place."

She called the deaths of children "probably the most horrific and devastating," citing several of the victims.

"Eight-year-old Alice... perished when her grandfather tried to protect her on the streets of Okhtyrka," she claimed. "Polina from Kyiv... perished together with her parents in the bombardment."

"14-year-old Arseniy was struck in the head by debris and could not be saved since an ambulance could not get to him in time due to the tremendous fires," she continued.

"I shout out the names of these deceased children first when Russia insists it isn't committing war against civilians," she stated.

'Close our skies,' they say.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been praised for his wartime speeches, and Zelenska's humour production firm has a writing background.

Her speech focused on the suffering of civilians, since millions of people had fled their homes to avoid the Russian military attack.

"This war is being waged against civilians, not merely by shelling," she stated emphatically.

"Refugees are flooding our roadways," she remarked.

"Look into the eyes of these tired women and children who are carrying the agony and heartbreak of having to leave loved ones and life as they knew it behind."

She mentioned difficulties in obtaining necessary medical treatment.

"Is injecting insulin in the basement a simple task? Or to obtain asthma medication while under fire? "she enquired.

"Not to mention the thousands of cancer patients whose life-saving chemotherapy and radiation treatments have been postponed indefinitely."

"Those in charge must close our skies," she said. A no-fly zone has been ruled out by NATO.

Zelenska, 44, is married to a former comedian and has two children.

She pioneered a push for improved school lunches and has joined Zelensky on overseas tours, including a meeting with Prince William and his wife Catherine in the United Kingdom in 2020.

A inquiry about whether Zelenska is now in Kyiv was not quickly answered by the Ukrainian presidency.

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems. Solar flares are dramatic explosions that occasionally spew out energetic particles (called Solar Proton Events or SPEs) into interplanetary space when the Sun is active. The majority of these are high-energy protons that have an influence on space systems and increase radiation exposure to astronauts. According ...
