Russia sees NATO arms shipments as military targets
The Russian Foreign Ministry has told state media TASS that Russia considers arms shipments from NATO and the United States to be legitimate military targets.
"We warn that US and NATO arms shipments over Ukrainian territory will be considered legitimate military targets by us," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
Many countries supply weapons to help Ukraine in the fight against Russia, including NATO countries such as Turkey and the Netherlands. This concerns, for example, drones, rocket launchers and ammunition. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would also deliver armored vehicles and anti-ship missiles during
his visit to Kiev last weekend.
Isn't this article 5 Nato?

Macron: Be careful with terms like genocide
French President Macron does not want to use the term 'genocide'. He said this in an interview with the broadcaster France 2. Yesterday , US President Biden
accused his Russian counterpart Putin of genocide against the Ukrainian population.
According to Biden, it is becoming increasingly clear that Putin is simply trying to destroy the idea of being Ukrainian. Macron warns that such statements do not contribute to efforts to end the war.
The French president therefore prefers to stick to the facts, which he believes are that Russia has started a brutal war. He also says that war crimes have been committed that need to be investigated.
If we are talking about 'genocide', of course it has to be proven.....this means according to the Geneva Convention we have to act up.

900 refugees from Ukraine have found work in the Netherlands
According to the UWV, at least 900 Ukrainian refugees have found work in the Netherlands. A spokesman for the government organization says the number is increasing by about 130 per day.
Many refugees want to work. There is a shortage of personnel in many sectors and companies can use them well. Ukrainians who have fled their country because of the Russian invasion are allowed to work without a so-called work permit. Employers must, however, report it from the beginning of this month if they employ a refugee Ukrainian.
The UWV cannot yet say in which sectors the refugees work. That will be communicated next month.

BBC: Clear evidence that cluster bomb was used in train station attack
According to the
BBC , there is clear evidence that a cluster bomb was used in the attack on a train station in Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine. This means that several small bombs are dropped from large ammunition, increasing the chance of many casualties.
BBC journalists visited the site of the attack and saw "clear patterns consistent with the use of a cluster projectile" on the ground. They also saw a "scatter pattern" next to a larger hole in a building. Witnesses also heard an explosion followed by four or five explosions.
In addition, a Tochka-U missile was found that can be used to fire cluster munitions. The broadcaster spoke to three weapons experts who reviewed the findings and also confirmed that these are likely cluster munitions.
The use of cluster bombs is highly controversial. Not all projectiles explode. The explosives can still explode later if someone touches or picks them up. At least 50 people were killed in the attack in Kramatorsk.
Did anybody see a confirmation from the free countries/independent media or Ukraine about the surrendering troops in Mariupol?
