Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed regret that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been hesitant to blame Russia for a strike on humanitarian mission vehicles in Donetsk which resulted in the deaths of three ICRC staff members.
**Quote:** “It is very disappointing to see that the Red Cross, in its official communication, was afraid to even say it was a Russian strike. This is our life, but it’s their face. And this is not just the truth – it’s a Russian strike; it is Russian terror.”

You can’t depend on Red Cross no more. They have gone downhill in the last 30 years. They also keep most of the donations for themselves.

I am not surprised. It’s a Swiss run organization.

I’m not surprised after the RC Belarus has even helped Russia to kidnap Ukrainian children.

The Red Cross is compromised from within. It is one of the institutions that has been infiltrated by the enemies of democracy. This is part of a decades-long effort by tankies and Islamic extremists to infiltrate institutions in the West in order to advance the agendas of Russia, China, Iran, Qatar and their allies.
They’ve infiltrated international institutions like the Red Cross and the UN. They’ve also infiltrated the press, universities and schools. Their goal is to turn people against their own democratic governments and rip democracies apart. Once democracies are made weak and ungovernable by dysfunctional institutions, the axis powers will have an easier time implementing their imperial plans, like taking over Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and South Korea.

I deployed with a couple Red Cross contractors as part of a CSH. They made $150,000/year and did absolutely nothing. The one time I heard them speak up during a meeting, it was the dumbest thing ever said in a theater of war according to my 1ST Sergeant – a man that had to manage Army Privates in the multitudes.

Fun fact: the International Red Cross has a policy of allowing startup chapters to change the symbol from a cross into another symbol to connect better with populations in non-Christian countries. For example, this is how the Red Crescent came into being:
Additional fun fact: the Mogen David Adom (Red Star of David in English) was formed in 1930 in Tel Aviv, but the International Red Cross refused to recognize it until 2006, 76 years later, because the IRC claimed that entire time that the Star of David was “not an approved symbol”.
(For reference, the IRC officially approved the use of the Red Crescent symbol in 1919.)

we are witnessing the death of almost all big organizations like Red Cross, *IAEA*, Amnesty, and others. Strange that nobody even trying to save them

Speaking of, does the ICRC do anything in Ukraine?
Honest question. I follow a ton of volunteers, international and Ukrainian, on Twitter, who do everything from mine clearing to making food to delivering drones and military gear. I’ve never come across any mention of the Red Cross, even in passing.
