Draggingtree Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Patterico [guest post by Dana] Let’s go! First news item A reminder why Ukraine continues to fight, among other things: 1. Often people are not allowed to leave their villages. Supplies (incl. food supplies) are often cut 2. Russia doesn’t bring Russian law, but brings lawlessness. People lose their rights – even those who sympathize with Russia. Your house can be taken by someone else; your car can be confiscated; you can be abducted, nobody would investigate. 3. Lots of people who are missing. We don’t know whether they are alive or not. Family members of these people are often forced to keep silent, violence will be applied to them as well. 4. If you live for months without food supplies (shops are closed, you cannot leave your village), you can only rely on your land, domestic animals and what you have in your personal food savings. Ukrainian peasants usually have a lot – at least they can survive 5. Some patterns – like not letting people leave their villages for months – remind of Holodomor, the Stalin’s artificial famine in 1932-1933. Clearly these practices “live” in the minds and practices of the Russian soldiers and commanders 6. Tortures are applied widely. Esp. tortures with electric current. The Russian torturers call it “a call to putin”. So they themselves acknowledge that the acts of cruelty should bear putin’s name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A particularly egregious example was recently published in an online edition of Foreign Policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
