I continue to warn, Russia is desperate to create a migration crisis in Europe through the West African route. More Russian internet trolls are encouraging West Africans to travel to Europe for better opportunities. Europe must do something to stop Russia from creating a disaster.

For the second month now, Putin has been ignoring the U.S. proposal for a ceasefire. Russia is confident it can continue killing Ukrainians without any punishment in return Russia wants war.Its rapidly growing military machine can only be stopped by force — or by cutting off the money that fuels it
