📹 At the European Parliament, the translator of 11-year-old Roman, who survived a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia, cried

During a film screening of documentaries about Ukrainian children and a subsequent discussion, the assistant to the Vice President of the European Parliament burst into tears while translating the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiy from Lviv. The boy survived a Russian missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, in which his mother was killed.

Roman underwent 36 surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation due to severe burns and injuries. Despite this, he returned to studying, dancing, and music, and even received an award from the President of Ukraine.

On December 10, Roman came to Brussels for the film screening to tell his story to MEPs and urge them to "never give up", because "when we are together, we are strong".

The deputies were shown the films "Romchik", "Children for Putin", and "Chili".

SSU Sea Baby naval drones hit the Russian shadow fleet tanker Dashan in the Black Sea.

The vessel, flying the flag of the Comoros Islands, was moving in Ukraine's exclusive economic zone in the direction of the "Novorossiysk" port terminal. It was proceeding at maximum speed with its transponder turned off.

This was a joint operation of the 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the SSU and the Ukrainian Navy.

As a result of the attack, the tanker sustained critical damage. According to preliminary information, the vessel has been disabled.

Kazakhstan plans to supply 50,000 metric tons of crude to China directly from the vast Kashagan field in December for the first time after a Ukrainian drone damaged the Black Sea terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), two sources told Reuters.

Kashagan usually exports most of its oil via CPC to the terminal at the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk for further transportation.

"The incident at CPC's marine terminal did not lead to a complete halt in exports... The ministry, together with producers, is working to redistribute volumes and intensify the use of alternative routes," it said in a written response.

If Ukraine falls or is forced to give up territory it's going to set a terrible precedence that will be a green light for dictators to try taking more land through war. The end result is going to be an insurmountable amount of needless deaths and way more money spent than the cost of supporting Ukraine now. In fact even if we ignore other negative ripple effects caused by Ukraine loosing we still see that supporting Ukraine now is half the cost of letting Russia win (source: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/65257 )

But you, yes you have the power help stop Russia's evil war with just a few minutes of your time. They say that a grain of rice can tip a scale, the email you send or the phone call you make could be like putting the final grain of rice in the balance scale that tips the scale in Ukraine's favor.

All you need to do is try contacting politicians in your country and asking that they do whatever they can to support Ukraine. Whether it's sending aid, weapons, money or anything, it will help. For the US you can follow this guide here for how to contact them: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. The process of contacting politicians in your country may vary but I would suspect it to be pretty straightforward, just dial a number, send them a letter or an email. Some politicians may even still have a fax machine if you're into that. But no matter what I suspect you'll find sending them a message easier than you thought.

In addition while you're contacting them why not consider bringing up these topics that could also really help Ukraine:

• Teach students how to recognize disinformation, rage-bait, foreign propaganda operations and cognitive warfare operations. From my research Finland is leading the way with this. This is a good short article about what Finland is doing about disinformation: https://finland.fi/life-society/educated-decisions-finnish-media-literacy-deters-disinformation/ I hope more schools can do something similar.

• Increase in cybersecurity and crackdown on organized crime and corruption. Have you heard about a company being hacked with ransomware? If they pay where does the money go? The answer often time ends up being Russia and if not it's still going to some other criminal group that for sure doesn't deserve it. Organized and white collar crime can sometimes end up leading back to Russia so more emphasis on this can ultimately help stop money and sanctioned parts from making it back into Russia. It's believed that some hackers are either part of the Russian government or have their backing so these ransom payments may be funding the war.

• Faster transition to renewable energy. Russia's big export is fossil fuels. They use the money to fund the war. The less demand for their products the better. Demand a fast as possible transition to renewable energy as possible. Also consider getting solar or installing a heat pump for your home especially if you plan to live there for a long time. Note that solar doesn't have to be complicated. Some countries allow for balcony solar which is a great way to get started with solar.
