There are ~2000 Ukrainians trapped inside the occupied city of Oleshky, Kherson region. They are deprived of food, in what is painfully reminding Ukrainians of another man-made famine, almost a century ago: the Holodomor. 📽️Full video here🔗 emmanuellechaze.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

I've seen people from Ireland on twitter arguing that aluminum is for coca cola cans (Russia doesn't make coke in the country; they do gray imports) not for weapons, so it's fine really interesting how russian propaganda possessed the entire country

Oleshky is a town on the left bank of the Dnipro opposite of Kherson City. At one time it held ~24,000 people but that number fell to about 2,000 due to 2023 flood and abusive Russ' occupation. Russia uses it for 'human safari' drone attacks on Kherson it is under complete Russian control.

It is always like that with Russians: they promote Russian imperial policy, Putin, and the USSR, yet have no desire to live in Russia Also given these Russians' proximity to the Russian Ministry of Defence, the question arises whether they are Russian agents within the EU🤔
