My mind boggles at the malevolence of this man and his willingness to slaughter tens of thousands of Ukrainians and his own troops in an effort to ‘make a point’.  

Countless billions of dollars worth of residential, commercial and industrial infrastructure have been destroyed along with roads, harbours and airports.

We are close to 800 days since the invasion of February 24, 2022.
