God help these young men.

When I visited Azov, Mariupol, Shyrokyne in 2015, there were many like this. Intelligent and well spoken. Well mannered.

It’s humbling to know that such men exist.

This reminds me of a story about my father’s father, whom I never met. He traveled to Russia as a representative of his village in the late 40s or 50s. Apparently, in some presentation about the abundance of collective farming, they showed him the same pig over and over, in different places, trying to convince the villagers that there were in fact many pigs.

I’ve been in a few war zones, but I’ve never seen a country that has moved so quickly – mid-conflict – to clean up the wreckage. It’s as if there’s a nationwide desire to wash away the stains as soon as possible. https://t.co/2Lb35tFdYw

@MarQs__ Is there a patter of casualties having their boots removed when it’s on the RU side?

Sadly typical.

“I’m strong. I’m rich. I can hurt you. Ukraine doesn’t exist. You’re poor and a fascist.”

This pretty summarizes the worst of Russian mentality as perceived by Ukrainians. https://t.co/x6rQOsHfwC

More genocidal talk on Russian state TV: political scientist Sergey Mikheyev claims that no one speaks the Ukrainian language & it doesn’t even exist. No one in the studio contradicts him or stops him. Every pundit is aboard Putin’s train to destroy everything Ukrainian for good.
