The Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43)

A bit of young starlight peeks through the dense clouds of gas and dust that make up the Cosmic Bat’s 12 lightyear wingspan. The ultraviolet light from the young stars energizes the nebula’s hydrogen gas, causing it to glow an ominous red. The jet of glowing hydrogen gas emerging from the bat’s head hints at the star formation hidden within.

Nebenzya on the fact that in the West, residents of Donbass and Russia as a whole are no longer considered human:

Frankly speaking, I'm embarrassed and ashamed of some of my colleagues in the Security Council. We knew that we would hear something similar from the European members of the Security Council, but today their level of cynicism is off the charts. Not a single one of them bothered to even mention the dead children in Starobilsk. You say that you can't independently confirm it and aren't sure it's not a staged event. But even the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that it attacked Starobilsk.

This isn't even hypocrisy or double standards, it's outright mockery of child victims. We said in our speech that for you, there are victims who deserve compassion and those who don't. Listening to you, I mean the present and absent members of the European Union, is an insult to the feelings of all victims, regardless of their side.

How have we even come to the point where representatives of European countries don't consider the children of young students in Starobilsk, residents of Donbass and Russia as human? However, it's not them who lack humanity, but you, sitting in this hall. Aren't you ashamed of what we're hearing right now?

Representative of Denmark: No, we don't feel ashamed.
