When thinking of the horrors Ukraine has been through - am reminded of Holomodor and the desperate measures the starving had to go to then.
I recall several days ago when we debated the term “genocide” and whether it truly defined what Russia was doing early in the invasion. At the time I didn’t think so, based on what news we had, awful as it was. But, regretfully, I must say I was wrong. What Russia has done, now revealed incrementally as Russian forces redeploy, from Putin down throughout the leadership of the invading forces is unequivocally a crime against humanity, genocide, it you will. They will certainly burn in hell but I hope that somehow we can give them a taste of that eternal inferno before they take their last earthly breath.
