1/ One of the reasons Ukrainians were skeptical about the possibility of this war: it makes no sense. We hated Putin before. We hate him even more now. And even if (if!) he would manage to take over for a while - Russia would be on a more hostile territory, than in Afghanistan.

2/ Imperial hubris is a bad advisor. They still think we are inferior villagers, swineherds - “hohols”, as they call us. He thinks we will kiss his hand, like many Russians do. Well, he is in for a surprise.

3/ His aggression in Ukraine might be the beginning of the end for imperial Russia. The question is: at what human cost for Ukraine. And at what moral cost for the West.

1/ More on “genocide” in Donbas. Here is a Donbas pastor Oleksandr Khomchenko. In August 2014, After co-organizing a public “Prayer for Ukraine” demo in Donetsk, he was kidnapped and tortured by Russia-led militants. He never fully recovered and died at the age of 59 in 2018.

2/ Here is prof. Igor Kozlovsky, a renowned Donetsk scientist who survived two years in the notorious “Isolyatsia” concentration camp in Donbas. His fault: co-organizing the “Prayer for Ukraine” demo.
BTW, it’s his birthday today! All the best, Igor Anatolievich!

3/ Here is Stanislav Aseyev, a Donbas journalist, another survivor of “Izolyatsia”. 2,5 years of humiliation and tortures, that included daily beatings and electrocuting. Read his book! books.huri.harvard.edu/books/in-isola…

1/ About Putin’s claim of Ukraine’s genocide against Donbas people.
Here is Styopa Chubenko (16). A young goalie from Donbas. Half Russian, half Ukrainian. In 2014, Putin’s goons arrested him, tortured for days - and executed with 5 shots in the head. Just for being pro-Ukraine.

Here is Volodymyr Rybak (42), one of the first Putin’s victims in Donbas. Donbas native. In April 2014, they tortured him, then split his stomach, put a backpack full of stones on him and pushed into a river. Just for trying to raise Ukrainian flag.

3/ Here are Olena Kulish and Volodymyr Alyohin. He was a programmer, she was a radio host and animal rights activist. Donbas natives. In 2014 Putin’s goons kidnapped them, beat them up and executed mafia-style. Five homeless dogs, adopted by Olena, were shot too.
