Russia did it again. As expected. Already 75 injured and 15 dead in Kyiv. More than 440 drones and 32 missiles. One of the most terrifying attacks on Kyiv.
I did not sleep half the night again. My Samsung Health app says my pulse was abnormally high during sleep, and now I feel squeezed out.
And it will continue:
– If Trump continues “having nice talks” with Putin and does nothing to punish him. Not sure if he’s Krasnov, TACO, or just having dementia, any option kills us. – If Ukraine is not given enough weapons to defend itself. – If Russia keeps selling its oil, gas, and other resources to finance the war. – If Russian allies (Iran, N.Korea) are not severely punished for helping Russia. – If some Western companies continue working in Russia or trading with it. No matter how small or big they are.
As I watch how Israel wiped out Iranian (in fact Russian-made) air defense and gained total air control, I wish Ukraine could do it with Russia. And of course I am glad that the Iranian commander who handed drones to Russia is now gone. Less Iranian drones and rockets will attack Ukraine now, and more people will stay alive. Such terrorist regimes as Russia, Iran, N.Korea understand force only. Do not talk nicely to them because they take it as weakness. Do not trade with them because they will use it against you, as Lenin said, “West will sell us a rope on which we hang them”.
Comment from :
I think that Ukraine needs to start reciprocal targeting of civilian population centers.
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
Thanks for posting. Why aren’t we all shocked and disgusted by this genocidal behaviour? ruzzia terrorists, tramp in cahoots, NATO passive, political manoeuvring evident!
They know only how to kill civilians. The rest of Europe still sleeps, I assume.

IT Must be Stoped!!!

That’s just 3-year difference, after Russian captivity. So if anyone says I am too ruzzofobik, look at his photo again. It’s not some unique case, it’s a system, it is the way Ruzzia is. Not “Just Putin”, but the whole Russian political system and society. It’s their real culture, not ballet, opera, or 19th-century literature.
And this is the difference between civilisations. You won’t find Ruzzian prisoners handed by Ukraine in such conditions.
I’ve been banned so many times here for calling what they are. And I am not sure it won’t happen again. But this time I do not even need to use words, just look…

Many thanks for sharing this insightful post, Volodymyr Kukharenko. You are doing an extraordinary work, reminding us time and again of why russia should be decisively defeated. However, I strongly believe that under the current circumstances, all the military forces of all the European countries combined would be obliterated pretty fast by russian military as we have so badly neglected our militaries that we are no longer capable of standing up to any real threat – be it abroad or at home (at our countries’ borders)
Matej Markič Then Ukraine is the most valuable military asset of EU, and giving it to Russia is suicidal. Because facing both Russia and Ukraine smells very big trouble, if US is out of the game.
Captivity is h£ll.

There is no practical reason for them to treat people like this. It’s a conscious choice of the KGB thugs to torture people just because they can.
Awful Russians – they deserve to lose this war and collapse financially , then overthrow that criminal leader and bring him to the Hague for war crimes . Then hopefully all the good Russians return from exile and make that country at peace with everyone.
Here is the thing you do not understand 😰 —— in similar cases of Body Exhaustion, our people not always live long, it’s due to internal organs failure 😞 I hope he will recover, but it’s a roulette with health, you never know how much recovery capacity has left.
You have to be a scoundrel and an accomplice to do business and shake hands with representatives of a terrorist state that destroys people. Shame!
horrifying. The fact is tho, all humans have the capacity for degrading behaviour given the circumstances – we need to not become immune to it so sharing this haunting picture is right as it should repulse us. I hope Trump administration sees these in their despatches. Of course no guarantee that they can be moved by such awful images.
Is there any difference between putin and hitler?

This is the real attitude of Russia towards Ukrainians. Russia doesn’t want us to exist.
Thank you for sharing, as scary as it is, it must be made public. So heartbreaking… By any chance can you share the name of the man at the picture?
Iryna Gavrylova de Garcia 🇺🇦 here is the original post on Facebook. Apparently, the woman’s name is Elena Yurchina, a refugee from Mariupol, and the man is her husband Olexandr: https://www.facebook.com/100004741292784/posts/pfbid02QGKn38grvMiC27E38NZScsZ1AWCxxYtaCxCjAEVCLe2qrih8arzWe24aQtLfskaRl/?app=fbl
……….
Did you know that Moskovians started calling themselves Russians (Русские) only about 100 years ago?
Before that, they referred to themselves as Velikorosy (великоросы), while Russkiy (русский) was used as a collective term that included not only Velikorosy, but also Ukrainians (whom they called Malorosy) and Belarusians. You can see this in the image attached to this post (a newspaper showing the 1897 Russian Empire census): it depicts Velikorosy, Belarusians, and Malorosy as three distinct figures, but in the table, they are all grouped under one category: Russkiye. So this term became their unique self-identifier only recently.
Before the 1700s, they called themselves Moskovians, while Ukrainians referred to themselves as Rusyns or Ruthenians (some people in the Carpathian mountains still identify as Rusyns). This makes sense, because the original Rus was in Kyiv—founded at a time when the area now called Moscow was mostly populated by frogs and bears.
Even in the 17th century, Ukrainian Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi called himself “The Hetman of Rus.”
To this day, in Ukrainian, руський [ruskyi] means “ancient Ukrainian,” while росіянин [rosiyanyn] means “Russian” or “Moskovian.”
So, Moskovians stole the name in the 1700s and created a mess. Now, when referring to events from the 10th century, they say “Russian”—when in reality, they are referring to what we now call Ukraine. At best, they are a spin-off of Rus. Politically, they are only about 900 years old, not “over 1100” as they claim. Their first political entity was the Grand Principality of Vladimir, founded in 1125—not Kyivan Rus, founded in the 9th century.
For comparison: Russia claiming it started in Kyiv is like the USA claiming it began as the Kingdom of Wessex in the 6th century. Sure, there’s a historical connection—but it’s absurd to consider Alfred the Great an American king. And yet, Moskovians do just that: they say Volodymyr the Great of Kyiv (c. 958 – 15 July 1015) was “Russian”—in the modern sense of the word.

It could have been so simple in the beginning: give Ukraine all the help it needed, force Russia to retreat, and end the war. But people preferred to overcomplicate things and push absurd theories. And what is the result now? Are we better off? No.
With insufficient support to defeat the so-called “second army of the world” and unwilling to surrender, Ukraine had to get creative. It developed entirely new weapons and tactics never seen before. Ukrainian naval drones destroyed half of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, and small drones hidden in trucks managed to take out over 30 percent of Russia’s strategic bombers in a single attack. Ukrainian forces are holding off Russian troops primarily using FPV drones, which have rendered tanks nearly obsolete. Ukraine now operates cargo drones, evacuation drones, drone carriers that deploy smaller drones, and interceptor drones to hunt enemy drones. AI is already being implemented to make them even more effective.
Russia also has its own advances. They were the first to use fiber-optic drones. Both sides now copy and refine each other’s innovations.
The result is two armies equipped with technologies and skills the rest of the world cannot yet counter. Tens of thousands of trained drone operators on both sides. Now imagine this: Ukraine and Russia sign a ceasefire. Ukraine focuses on recovery and fortifications, while Russia redirects its freed-up resources to invade the Baltics or beyond. Picture swarms of 500-dollar drones at the border. Hundreds of Shaheds in the sky. What will you do, with no experience?
It gets worse. Did you see the recent “Spiderweb” operations by Ukraine’s Security Service? What makes you think Russia cannot do the same anywhere in the EU? They could plant dormant drones across Europe and activate them when needed.
The only country that can help you is Ukraine, because we have the experience. And in the worst-case scenario, if Russia conquers Ukraine, you will be facing both armies. Russians will find ways to coerce at least part of the Ukrainian population into joining them. Just look at what is happening in the occupied territories. And if the U.S. decides it is not their war, then what?
It would have been far easier to end this three years ago. But no one took it seriously. The genie was let out of the bottle. Now Europe has no peaceful option. If there is a Russia–Ukraine ceasefire, Russia will invade the Baltics. If there is not, they will keep going unless stopped by force. In both cases, supporting Ukraine is critical to European security. Russia must be defeated.
Accept this as a fact and get rid of the illusion about peace through negotiations without force. Negotiations did not work with Hitler, nor have they in many cases throughout history. Read about the Maori-Mariori war to get a good example of how pacifism kills.
Comment from :
Yes, and it was all feasible, but nuclear bluff and Putin’s terrorists like Musk, Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, David Sacks, Mike Lee worked well exactly with the goal to prevent the real help and reduce it down to “escalation management”.
On 24 Feb 2022, it was too obvious that either Ukraine wins or the West loses. The West chose to fall and is now falling slowly, while Ukraine is defending Europe, fighting for the West.

Hard to disagree.
