Так виглядає мир Росії, який нам регулярно пропонується. Відрубані голови ще вчора мирних людей, яких затягнули у війну, яка їм не всралася.

Сиділи би всі зараз по домах мирно, чи пили би латте в кав'ярнях, але Росія вирішила що дуже хоче прийти до нас і різати нам голови, геніталії, ґвалтувати дітей, морити голодом, руйнувати екосистему, нищити міста.

@sichkovskyi @picard fascists are trying to make us believe that it's a western idea of free speech, which is not true. There's no tolerance for intolerance, otherwise the West wouldn't fight and win in WW2.

If you're eligible to vote in the UK, register to vote by 11:59pm 18 June 2024. Also, check this website on what party is best to vote for in your constituency, and to get stats on its current voting intentions and eye watering comparisons on food banks use and ambulance wait times (multiple times worse than a decade ago). https://www.getvoting.org/

For a bit more context on what we have to deal with, the government party (Boris Johnson specifically) despite warnings from security services gifted a lifetime seat in British parliament to a son of a former lieutenant-colonel in the KGB, Alexander Lebedev, a spy who was stationed inside the Russian embassy in London in the late 1980s. Like, he has an actual title "Lord of Siberia" now. Also owns a newspaper and a TV channel, because why not? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/may/12/government-refuses-to-release-lebedev-peerage-details-despite-mps-instruction

Regular reminder that saying "🇺🇦 should negotiate with 🇷🇺" and "stop funding Ukraine and the military industrial complex as it prolongs the war" only ensures the continuation of documented crimes committed by russians.
For some it feels good to pose as a pacifist. But they have privileges of not having their city bombed on daily basis, relatives not kidnapped/killed, their culture and identity not called "non-existent"/"artificial".

Don't allow ignoring victim's experience to pose as "pacifism"

Also a reminder it's not "putin's war", but established way of doing colonialist business (see Sürgünlik and Holodomor mentioned countless times before)

> forced transfer of the whole of the Vainakh (Chechen and Ingush) populations of the North Caucasus [...] as a part of a Soviet forced settlement program […] affected several million […]
> 123,000–200,000 Chechens and Ingush, or between 1/4 and 1/3 of their total population [died]
(Chechen sources claim 400,000 died)

Still hoping that western media start minding their language, as "putin's war" is essentially a "few bad apples" argument, trying to make people think it's putin personally launching those missiles. "Ukraine war" is just as frustrating to hear, as if russia takes no part in this at all.

Lastly, you personally, whoever is reading this, can literally save lives today by donating directly for medical supplies to volunteers I'm regularly reposting here. Use "translate" functionality of Mastodon for details if those posts are in Ukrainian.

You can also donate to a major charity for air defence and other units here https://savelife.in.ua/en/
Some in the West may feel icky donating for non-medical supplies, but remember it's more effective to stop missile launches before they even start

A close up photo of white and grey gravel. A small black lump of soil is in the middle with moss growing on it. To the right is a tiny twig of red maple with two unfolded leaves and another two folded leaves on its sides. The background and foreground are blurred with some unclear green twigs sticking out.
