Putin’s Special Military Operation is an evil war

This war in Ukraine is a monster that must be stopped. The lives that are being lost, the homes that are being destroyed, there are no words to describe it. 

People with no heat, no food, nothing. Imagine waking up to find the walls of your home have been blown to pieces.

Yesterday Putin declared martial law in the territories that he has ‘made Russian’.

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are being deported to Russia. This is exactly what Marshal Stalin did.

Just as the river Volga became hallowed waters for Russia in stopping the German invader, hopefully the river Dnieper will become for Ukraine what the Volga was for the Russians.

According to reliable sources the Russians have lost 65,000 troops, Ukraine 10,000. And no one knows how many thousands of civilians.

This is badness. How can any of us rest easily as this war wages. To think that Putin still calls it a Special Military Operation. The badness of it all. And bad it is.

Putin is doing to Ukraine what Hitler did.

The West are no saints, Nato are no angels, the US is no goody-two-shoes but what Russia is doing is evil and Putin is sullying the name of the great Russian people.
