For the second month, Ukraine is resisting the Russian invasion. The world is the witness of their bravery in defending not only their own land but acting as a shield for Europe and the whole democratic world. 

Despite them being very brave and with high spirits knowing that they are fighting for their freedom, war is never pretty on either of the fighting sides. Just a day after the war started, Bored Panda published an article of the heartbreaking moments of people reacting to it and sharing stories of being directly affected by it. 

The reactions have calmed down a bit, but the war is still in full heat. And the suffering will not end even after the war ends because the damage it has done will need time to be healed and fixed. To not forget about it, we collected more of the atrocities that happen daily in Ukraine and urge you to donate to charities that use the money to take care of the refugees or buy military equipment, like Blue/Yellow or The National Bank Of Ukraine.

There was so much focus on president Zelinskyys rise from a comedian to President of Ukraine...some sneering and laughter and not wildly popular amongst Ukranians,but when he started to first stand up to Trump and not give in to the dirty games of Trump and being punished by the then administration of the US ,withholding much needed help then he stood his ground.Heroes do not come ready-made and this man has shown to his people and the World that here is a man with true grit and integrity. The photos tell it all...He Cares... and is passionate about his fight to uphold Democracy and the right to live your life the way you choose...He knows there is a target on his head...may God protect him and help the millions who now are paying the price of being neighbours to a megalomaniac who cares only about his power and illicit gained wealth.

If you are following the news, chances are, they are talking about the Russo-Ukrainian war regardless of what country you live in. Maybe you are also seeking information yourself to know what is happening. 

You might have heard that Ukrainians are doing great when you have in mind that Russia was planning to seize it in a few days. They are not giving away their positions and the Russian troops are having difficulty moving forward. 

Alongside the Ukrainian soldiers, civilians are also doing what they can: they are making Molotov cocktails, they are stealing Russian tanks and are trying to resist in any way they can.

All of these stories that come from the war zone tell about small and big victories Ukrainians have achieved and while they are truly inspiring, they are also shadowed by the other side of war: the deaths, the injuries, lost homes and sense of uncertainty.

The city of Mariupol, which is located in southeastern Ukraine, is one of the most important ports of the country which became the target of bombings. It is now in such a critical state that it has become absolutely unlivable because people don’t have heating, water, food or access to medical care, but Russians won’t allow the formation of humanitarian corridors so civilians who are stuck there can’t escape. Nothing is left of it.

There are even more cities that are experiencing humanitarian crises like Kharkiv and Chernihiv, but a recent retreat of Russian troops from the capital Kyiv revealed another level of cruelty.

As the Russian soldiers left the Kyiv suburbs, the Ukrainians took over the town of Bucha and the photos from the streets remind the world of something from a horror movie. Bodies scattered all over the place, just left there as they were killed or piled up in mass graves. The Russians weren’t choosing who to shoot: they aimed at people riding bicycles, kids, the elderly, even animals.

However, Russia refuses to admit that this crime against humanity was conducted by their soldiers. Their propaganda says that it was the doing of Ukrainians or even NATO. You can read more about the Kremlin’s “interpretation” of the events in Bucha in this Bored Panda article.

What Russia is doing is committing war crimes, because even wars have rules. The definition of a war crime is provided in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Article 8 by listing which actions are illegal.

It includes, “Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives;” “Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;” “Attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives,” etc.

It is no surprise that Russia doesn’t care about rules because back in 2014, Putin violated The Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, which was signed in 1997. With this treaty, both of the countries agreed to not declare war on one another and maintain the country borders as they were then.

Now Europe and the Western world understands that their reaction to the violation of the treaty was too soft, especially having in mind that it wasn’t the first act of aggression from Russia until 2014. Like they realized they weren’t strict enough with Hitler after it was too late and his army had attacked Poland together with Russia.

That time Hitler lost, Germany changed and became a democratic country, the biggest economy in Europe and a friendly neighbor. If history repeats itself, we have hope for the future, but for now it is very important to support Ukraine to help them gain victory. Слава Україні!

What the USA did in Iraq was a genocide. Both Bush Administrations should be in prisons. Over 1 million Iraqi's were killed. That doesn't include those that died from water born illnesses, etc as the result of war. Who is going to do anything to Russia or the USA? Nobody. Nobody can. It would be a world war.

Genocide happened in my country, Bosnia, in the nineties. Most of the world looked away for 4 years. Now, pro-Putin Serbia is back at it again, encouraging separatists. Even Croatia is at it with them. Just crazy. Egomaniacs never learn and never let live. It is like they are sure that their only way to be remembered in history is war, and they are eager to produce it.
