I can’t help but feel a sense of bewilderment and disbelief as I read about the plight of the Indians who were misled into joining the Russian military unit and now find themselves caught in the crossfire of a war they have no personal stake in. The fact that “13 of 15 non-Russians in the military unit are dead” speaks volumes about the callous disregard for human life exhibited by those who lured these individuals into a deadly trap.
It’s disheartening to see how these men were promised one thing – the job of a security guard in Russia – only to be thrust into the horrors of a battlefield in Ukraine.… Continue reading
The recent news about Russia losing at least 100 of the T-90M tanks that Putin once praised as the “world’s best” in Ukraine is not only a blow to their military prowess but also a reflection of poor strategy. It’s one thing to claim that your country’s equipment is top-notch, but it’s another to back it up with actual results on the battlefield. The exaggerated rhetoric around Russia’s military equipment by their propaganda machine only serves to create a false narrative of superiority.
Even if the T-90M tanks are indeed superior to their western counterparts in some aspects, the reality is that no tank is impervious in warfare.… Continue reading
Russia accuses US of bankrolling Ukrainian attempts to assassinate Putin. The irony of this accusation is truly astounding, considering Putin’s track record of violence and oppression, not only within Russia but also in neighboring countries like Ukraine. Putin is the one responsible for killing innocent people, yet he seems genuinely surprised that there are attempts to eliminate him.
Ukraine’s desire to defend themselves and bring an end to the war is completely understandable. Putin’s aggressive actions have created a volatile and dangerous situation, and it is no surprise that the people of Ukraine would want to see him removed from power.… Continue reading
Russia reaches out to Pentagon for call after the recent NATO summit, seeking a solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The fact remains that Russia could end the war by simply withdrawing its forces from Ukrainian territory. The juvenile attempts at propaganda by the Russians only serve to highlight their desperation to shift blame and deflect attention from their aggressive actions. It is reminiscent of Cold War tactics employed by the USSR, reinforcing the need for a unified global response to their deceptive tactics.
Russia seems to be banking on China’s allegiance to bolster its forces by bringing in “volunteers” from various nations as foot soldiers.… Continue reading
Russia loses more than 70,000 soldiers in 2 months. The staggering number of lives lost in such a short span of time is a heartbreaking reality that we cannot afford to overlook. 70,000 souls, each with a story, dreams, and loved ones left behind, sacrificed in a senseless war fueled by power-hungry leaders who care not for the value of human life.
The daily average rate of soldiers being killed and wounded, hovering around 1,262, paints a grim picture of the relentless bloodshed that continues unabated. The Russian military machine seems willing to sacrifice its own men at an alarming rate, all in the name of trying to assert dominance and control over Ukrainian territory.… Continue reading
The recent move by some NATO members to allow Kyiv to strike back at Russia with their arms has been deemed a dangerous escalation by the Kremlin. However, I find it quite ironic that Russia, the aggressor in this conflict, is crying foul when faced with the consequences of their own actions. It seems like they want to have free rein to attack Ukraine at will, while expecting Ukraine to just sit back and take it. Well, that’s not how the world works.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the illegal annexation of Crimea, was the real dangerous escalation here. So, the fact that they are now upset that Ukraine wants to defend itself is just absurd.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news about the Russian pilot who decided to leak information about the attack on the Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv, my thoughts are filled with a mix of admiration and fear for this brave individual. In a profession where orders from superiors are to be followed without question, the decision to expose such a heinous act takes immense courage and moral integrity.
The idea of attacking a children’s hospital is not only insane but goes against all principles of humanity and decency. The fact that this pilot risked his life and safety to reveal the identities of those responsible for such a despicable act is truly commendable.… Continue reading
When I saw that video of an RT segment where they showed a clip of Russian soldiers dumping bodies of Ukrainian civilians haphazardly into a mass grave, with zany background music and a laugh track, that’s when I formed my opinion. Common Czech wisdom prevails in calling Russia the “trash of humanity.” And honestly, can you fault their reasoning? The evidence is glaring, the atrocities committed by Putin’s regime are unfathomable.
Even renowned Russian figures like Fyodor Dostoyevsky acknowledged that Russia was perceived as destructive barbarians reveling in chaos rather than civilized beings contributing to society. The recent bombing of a children’s hospital in Kyiv is yet another damning proof of Russia’s descent into inhumanity.… Continue reading
The White House believes that the Russian strike on the Okhmatdyt hospital must be investigated as a Russian war crime. And honestly, it’s about damn time. This isn’t the first atrocity committed by Russia during the invasion of Ukraine – far from it. The Bucha massacre was a blatant example of the horrors that have been unfolding in Ukraine. This is not just an “ordinary” invasion; it’s a brutal, merciless attack on innocent civilians.
The video evidence of the missile hitting the hospital speaks for itself. It’s crystal clear that Russia is violating international humanitarian law and committing war crimes with impunity.… Continue reading
Leaked documents suggest more Russians killed in Ukraine than previously thought. When I first heard this news, it struck me to my core. It shed light on the brutal reality of war and the unfathomable loss of human life. The fact that hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed, injured, or captured paints a vivid picture of the catastrophic consequences of conflict.
The sheer numbers mentioned in the leaked documents are staggering. Between 462,000 and 728,000 Russian soldiers affected by mid-June is a devastating figure. It is a stark reminder of the toll that war takes on individuals, families, and entire nations.… Continue reading
