Slowly but surely, Russia is erasing the history of Soviet-era repression.

For anyone paying close attention to geopolitics, the latest round of strikes was very predictable and is likely to intensify as pressure on Ukraine continues to grow.

Not only are Europe and NATO members highly fractured in their positions on the issue of Russia, but the UK and those supporting any 'Coalition of the Willing,' as they're calling it, are playing a very dangerous game if they seriously believe Russia will allow European troops to be permanently based in Ukraine.
Russia will not allow that to happen.
Instead, it will only serve to escalate the conflict, further jeopardize Ukraine’s sovereignty, and push Russia into deploying more aggressive tactics, which could include tactical nuclear weapons.
European troops must not be deployed to Ukraine.

I'm just as sick of reading about civilian casualties in Russia as I am about those in Ukraine.
Let's be honest about this war—neither side is serious about ending it.
If they were, the senseless and unjust killing of civilians would stop.
