Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Putin Appoints New General.
The campaign in Ukraine has not gone according to plan. Destroyed Russian equipment litters the landscape. However, Ukrainian forces have paid a high price for their stoic defence. Ukraine in many places lies devastated by the Russian blitzkrieg. The West has kept the Ukraine armed forces supplied with high-tech weaponry. This has added to Russia's woes on the battlefield. President Zelensky has led from the front and this has inspired Ukrainians to fight on. Russia was expected to crush Ukraine's much smaller military and win. Russia has the equipment and the man power to do it but events proved otherwise.

When will the fighting stop?, and the third question: What is the purpose of continuing the fighting now, whether for Russia or Ukraine, then the United States of America, Britain, China, and finally the NATO countries? We will try here to answer those questions.

Russo-Ukrainian War: Zelenskyy Reports Mariupol "completely destroyed"
Mariupol, existing only as a recent memory, has been reduced to rubble. It's difficult grasping the mentality behind such destruction. Bucha, comparatively, will be in Mariupol's shadow. Mariupol was once a bustling city. The destruction speaks for itself. There is no getting around how brutal the Russo-Ukrainian War has become. Everyone should see this.

Russo-Ukrainian War: Russian forces shell Derhachi
Two people, as Russian forces shell Derhachi, are killed. Several other people are severely injured. Massacres in towns like Bucha remain a hot button topic. The available evidence suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin isn't serious about peace talks. Continued shelling clearly suggests the Russian president has no real interest in a peaceful resolution. Does anyone seriously believe Putin?
