Today marks 23 years since NATO began bombing Yugoslavia.

🕯 Today marks 2️⃣3️⃣ years since NATO began bombing #Yugoslavia. ◼️ Some 2,000 civilians, including at least 89 children were killed during the 78-day NATO campaign, and many facilities in dozens of cities, including Belgrade, were destroyed or damaged. ◼️ The use of depleted-uranium munitions contaminated large territories and caused an unprecedented surge in cancer cases. People continue to suffer from malignant tumors to this day. ❗️ On that day the West began dismantling the international legal framework. Conducted 23 years ago, NATO’s military operation against sovereign Yugoslavia became a tragedy whose long-term and diverse consequences are still being felt. One of its main lessons is that lawlessness and arbitrary rule are unable to solve even a single problem and merely aggravate the situation. This is confirmed by permanent delays in resolving the Kosovo problem.
