The savagery and brutality of the war in Ukraine

Early morning radio news gives us the latest updates on the war in Ukraine.

The bursting of the dam on the river Dnipro is a catastrophic disaster for thousands of people.

Much of the territory of the flooded areas are now occupied by Russia and indeed, Russia considers the territory part of Russia.

History tells us that Russia will not stop, the Russian Army will continue to bombard Ukraine. Look what they did in Chechnya.

On a recent BBC interview the Russian ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin clearly stated that Russian resources are vast and that the country is 16 times bigger than Ukraine.

Where is this war heading?

How can Russia ever subjugate the people of Ukraine, indeed, how can they ever win over the minds and hearts of the people they claimed was the reason for the ‘Special Military Operation’?

How can this war be stopped?

Have we become complacent to the brutality and savagery that is taking place every day and every night in Ukraine?

And all the time the arms industry on both sides is at full production, turning in large dividends for its investors.
