They Look Like Us

From MSN/The Independent:

“‘We don’t know who to shoot, they all look like us’: Russian soldiers in Ukraine becoming disoriented, US official says”

Russian forces are reportedly becoming demoralised, disoriented and hungry on the third day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A senior United States official told ABC News that Russian soldiers had been overheard complaining that Ukrainian resistance was much stiffer than they had anticipated. On one radio call, the official said they heard a soldier saying: “We don’t know who to shoot – they all look like us.”

A resident in the western city of Lviv told inews.co.uk that Russian soldiers “don’t know why they are on our land”. Constantine Yevtushenko told the news site soldiers were hungry, were running low on supplies, and were confused about the purpose of their mission. “They are just following the orders that they have,” Mr Yevtushenko said. “They are kids.” Russian efforts to take the capital city of Kyiv have successfully been repelled for the past two nights by Ukrainian armed forces, although there were reports of an offensive being planned for Saturday night. Thousands of citizens have also taken up arms and been encouraged to make home-made molotov cocktails. There have been reports of more than 1,000 Russian soldiers being killed, and several hundred more captured. On Saturday Ukrainian officials said 198 citizens – including three children – had been killed since the invasion began. Health minister Viktor Liashko said that 1,115 people were injured including 33 children.

^ I call on all Russian Soldiers (including some I know personally) to stop fighting in Ukraine. Stop murdering innocent Men, Women and Children.

I call on all Russians everywhere (including those I know) to tell Putin to end his murderous campaign against Civilians who have never done anything to provoke you or your country.

 In the words of a Russian Soldier in Ukraine:  “‘We don’t know who to shoot, they all look like us.”

Stop Putin’s Nazi Methods of trying to Ethnically Cleanse Ukraine of all Ukrainians. The world is watching and we and History will judge what you do now and hold you accountable. ^
