Downtown Kyiv topiary installation ~ Circa 2022 AD

@LiberalLibrarian The scale of the horror has been reduced a bit, but the horror remains.

Massed waves of lightly armed conscripts charging across open minefields at fortified machine gun posts - check.

Heavily armed enforcers behind those massed waves to shoot any who retreat - check.

Minorities used as cannon fodder in front of Russians - check.

Mass population relocation - check.

Man made famine - check.

Putin is like the dollar store version of Stalin.

Mini Update...

Ukrainians are now just 10km outside of Kherson. Entire Russian held Kherson bridge head is now within artillery range. Including both bridges.

-

Ukrainian forces on both flanks of Sievierodonetsk are pushing the Russians back. Ukr is adopting an old tactic of closing with the enemy to reduce artillery fire. It doesn't work as well on the Russians, who have little qualms about firing on their own troops, but it does work.
