i dont know who's worse, the agressor or the ones pushing civilians to be cannon fodder into the slaughter to save their own skins
The Russians did the same in Ukraine in 2014.
It was when this guy become a meme: https://i.insider.com/534d57cf69beddd376106b02?width=600&format=jpeg&auto=webp
Many wore just black tracksuits (and black ski masks) because of course. Especially in Crimea.
propaganda everywhere of course, but in 2014 they were going in there to kill the rebels.
this time around Russia does not want to kill the native populace, Putin is doing this to snag the working population as much as the land.
with a mountaint of salt of course, the disinfo is a part of this conflict almost more than then the combat itself
They weren't even killing the ringleaders. Just look how they pacified Kharkiv city (and with it the entire "Kharkov Peoples Republic") overnight with no loss of life.
the whole thing around Cymi and Kharkov was weird. They had the city surrounded by morning yesterday Ukraine time, and then just drove around.
looks like they are avoiding getting caught in population centres and threatening to let the chechens of the leash to pacify those
