“Unlucky to have been born outside the Moscow-St. Petersburg axis, somewhere in the distant east—the rump of the Russian state, from which the elites mine their resources, whether material or human, with rapacious energy.” Horrifyingly well said.
I haven’t seen these grenade drops, nor do I plan to. Your description is enough to give me nightmares. I appreciate being informed, no matter how horrifying. If possible , I feel even more strongly now that this fucking war has to end. We cannot let up on our support of Ukraine. A Russian victory would have dire consequences for the entire region, and the world.
