Quote:Pope Francis on Wednesday compared the war in Ukraine to the “terrible Holodomor genocide” of the 1930s, when the policies of the Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin, caused a devastating famine in Ukraine.

The pontiff’s comparison of Moscow’s attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine to Stalin’s decision to let millions in Ukraine starve represents one of his strongest condemnations yet of the Russian invasion.
“Let us pray for peace in the world, and for an end to all conflicts, with a special thought for the terrible suffering of the dear and martyred people of Ukraine,” Pope Francis said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square. “And let us think of war-torn Ukraine.”
The pontiff then asked that people join Ukraine this Saturday in commemorating “the terrible Holodomor genocide, the extermination by hunger of 1932-33 artificially caused by Stalin.”
“Let us pray for the victims of this genocide and let us pray for all Ukrainians, the children, the women and the elderly, the babies who are today suffering the martyrdom of aggression,” he said.
Ukrainian historians argue that Stalin, as head of the Soviet Union, used a famine brought on by the Soviets’ forced collectivization of farms to crush Ukrainian aspirations for independence. The famine began in Kazakhstan and southern Russia but was most devastating in Ukraine, where entire villages were left to starve.

Wagner Group sends EU Parliament a message with ‘bloodied’ hammer
After Europe declared Russia a 'terrorist state' Vladimir Putin's crony Yevgeny Prigozhin responded to EU vote on Russia: 'I don't know what law the European Parliament is guided by, but according to our legislation, from today we declare the European Parliament dissolved,' he said.

Sick moment 'Putin's chef' Prigozhin sends bloodied hammer to European parliament. The head of Russian private army Wagner has trolled the West showing a bloodied sledgehammer he wants to present to the European Parliament. Vladimir Putin 's crony Yevgeny Prigozhin was responding to a vote to declare Russia a 'state sponsor of terrorism'. The sick stunt relates to an episode in which a Wagner fighter from Russia was bludgeoned to death with a sledgehammer after defecting to Ukraine, before being exchanged back allegedly at his request.

Quote:You remind me of the Russians going to war rather than to work. By skipping work, the Russians make themselves poorer. By being incompetent warriors, the Russians get killed in huge numbers even when they win battles. There will be long lasting bad consequences for Russia because this war will be remembered as Russians murdering Ukrainians just because the Russians feel a need to kill. No amount of Russian denialism or false accusations against Ukraine/EU/Nato/UK/USA/Finland/Sweden or generally threatening to nuke the world will change the sad future Russia has created for itself, win or lose in Ukraine.

And, are they having "senior moments"?

Quote:100,000 is NOT a large number for a war. Why do you disbelieve the number? 655,000 total deaths in the Iraq War (over 90% of them violent) as of June 2006 (per the 2006 Lancet study). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

But on the other hand, 100,000 is a huge number for a "special military operation". Calling it a war rather than a "special military operation" will get a Russian imprisoned for 15 years. The country’s media regulator Roskomnadzor forbids describing the war as an “invasion” or “war”, insisting it be called a “special military operation”.

Refusing to fight in the "special military operation" is punishable with only 10 years of prison time. Doesn't seem fair that newspaper reporters get longer prison sentences.

Surrender or Die! Lukashenko threatens Ukraine with 'complete destruction' if Kyiv fails to capitulate
Belarusian President and Putin puppet Aleksandr Lukashenko has blamed Ukraine for the Russian destruction of its energy infrastructures and civilian cities, warning that "complete destruction" is inevitable if they do not surrender. The long-standing dictator suggested Ukraine were blocking peace talks by continuing to fight against an ailing Russian military in the south and east, and said he would "explain to the Ukrainian people" what had happened after they surrendered. His comments were made as millions of Ukrainian citizens were plunged into darkness, forced out of their homes and deprived of a water supply due to Russian missile strikes hundreds of miles behind the front lines.
Lukashenko said: "Everything is in Ukraine's hands. No, not because I want to shove this topic on Ukraine and Zelensky.
"Truly, everything is in Ukraine's hands, if they don't want the death of a huge number of people. It will be difficult, complex, challenging, but if they want to recover, this needs to stop because next will be the complete destruction of Ukraine.
"It is not what Putin was saying, long before the operation, that this will risk losing the state, the statehood of Ukraine. No, this will be the destruction of Ukraine. It needs to stop.
"Listen, the way we fought with fascist Germany, 30 million people died. Who remembers this today? In Belarus and in a bit of Russia, that is it.
"So, the wounds have healed. Now they are ready not just to talk, but to cooperate, to be friends. Same here. We'll manage it, we'll make amends.
"We, our generation, probably will be able to explain to the Ukrainian people what has happened.
"Thus, whichever way you go, there will be peace negotiations. Peace, peace and peace again."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday echoed Lukashenko's sentiment of blaming Ukraine for Russia's invasion and the civilian hardship suffered.
He said: "Ukraine's leadership has every opportunity to bring the situation back to normal, has every opportunity to resolve the situation in such a way as to meet the demands of the Russian side and, accordingly, end all possible suffering of the civilian population."
As the pair attempted to exculpate Putin of his barbarism, residents of Ukraine's bombed capital clutched empty bottles in search of water and crowded into cafés for power and warmth on Thursday The latest round of Russian missile strikes a day earlier had plunged the city and much of the country into the dark.
In scenes hard to believe in a sophisticated city of 3 million, some Kyiv residents resorted to collecting rainwater from drain pipes as repair teams laboured to reconnect supplies.
Friends and family members exchanged messages to find out who had electricity and water back. Some had one but not the other. The previous day's aerial onslaught on Ukraine's power grid left many with neither.
And as Kyiv and other cities picked themselves up, Kherson on Thursday came under its heaviest bombardment since Ukrainian forces recaptured the southern city two weeks ago.
The barrage of missiles killed four people outside a coffee shop and a woman was also killed next to her house, witnesses said, speaking to Associated Press reporters.
Western leaders denounced the bombing campaign with French President Emmanuel Macron calling the strikes "war crimes".
Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov acknowledged that it targeted Ukrainian energy facilities but he said they were linked to Ukraine's military command and control system and that the aim was to disrupt flows of Ukrainian troops, weapons and ammunition to front lines.
Authorities for Kyiv and the wider Kyiv region reported a total of 7 people killed and dozens of wounded.

If Putin really and truly said the following, it is big news because Russia only has around 1,000,000 active personnel and 2,000,000 reserve personnel:
Putin tells Army it needs 5 million troops to 'finish war with NATO in Ukraine'
Vladmir Putin is telling his military commanders Russia need to deploy five million troops in order to triumph in Ukraine. A document doing the rounds in military and political circles in Moscow entitled "Conclusions of the war with NATO in Ukraine" has highlighted the vast challenges now facing Russia.
There has not been such a war in the previous 80 years, and Russia needs its army to consist of nearly five million troops in order to win.

Even if Putin really did calculate he needs 5,000,000 troops to win, I don't believe he would allow that estimate to be in a publicized government document unless he will be switching terminology from "special military mobilization" to old-fashion war/invasion.
