Russia-Ukraine war continuing to escalate: Tulsi Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard: Biden is leading us closer and closer to the brink of a nuclear war with Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has posted a video Thursday showing the devastating aftermath of a military strike, calling Russia a "killer" and "terrorist" country. 

The attack happened in Vinnystia, southwest of the country’s capital of Kyiv. 

"Rocket strikes in the city center. There are wounded and dead, among them a small child," Zelenskyy wrote on Instagram. 

"Every day, Russia destroys the civilian population, kills Ukrainian children, directs rockets at civilian objects," he continued. "Where there is nothing military. What is this, if not an open act of terrorism?"

"Inhumans. A killer country. A terrorist country," Zelensky also said.
