Still Think It's "Putin's War"? Let's See What The Russian Soldiers Who "don't Really Want It" Discuss

Meet the artist! ✨️ ENG -> УКР

As it was the previous time, I wanted to finish this on my b-day (12.12), but I rarely have time these days, so here we are.

Despite everything, November and December were, fortunately, productive. I like it!😄

Як і минулого разу, хотілося закінчити це до свого дн (12.12), але останнім часом я маю багато справ, тож якось так.

Попри все, листопад і грудень були, на щастя, продуктивними. Класно!😄

Kids🤲🏻🕸🕷

Day 31: Landmark.

Наш шлях тернистий, але він є.

Georgians are stronger than me, because if protests in my country were constantly confused with the state in USA, I would throw hands

In the past 24 hours, in Rafah alone, 11 homes have been struck and levelled on top of their residents. This resulted in at least 28 people killed, 11 of which are children and many remain missing under the rubble.

Israel never stopped but it is definitely intensifying its operations.

Keep your eyes on Rafah but also speak up about Rafah and about Gaza. Do what you can because millions of lives are facing a massive threat with absolutely nowhere to go.

I was listening to an interview about Ukraine and the interviewer was talking how there's no empathy for russian soldiers "not asking for sympathy for the Russians as an invading force, but empathy for humans" is the direct quote and while yes empathy for humans should exist, highlighting this in this context is bizzare. He then follows saying that these are young soldiers and the west is celebrating when "they are sent to their mothers" (meaning celebrating their deaths).

And what struck me the most is him saying this: "Soldiers who've been sent to war not by their choice, they follow military, they follow orders". Quick question: how do you think defeated nazi soldiers were trying to avoid punishment for their war crimes? What "argument" was real popular, don't you remember? This exact "argument" is the reason why International Law actually explicitly states that if a higher ups in the war are forcing a soldier to execute unlawful acts, the soldier has the right and responsibility to refuse this order. In International Law "I was following orders" is not an admissible argument. If the Russian soldiers don't want to commit war crimes, they are, by law, obliged to refuse the orders. Yet the Russian army still stands, still committing war crimes in Ukraine. But yeah, poor russian young boys sent to their mothers…

Yes I do have empathy for brainwashed and indoctrinated youth of an authoritarian state, no I don't have empathy for war criminals.
