You can feel the darkness falling

It is spring, the season of rebirth, a time of optimism. But there is no spring in Ukraine this year. Something has happened to the Russian people as their young soldiers are indiscriminately slaughtering civilians, leaving shackled bodies in the street after they were executed.

Bodies of children, mothers, the elderly. These are not military targets and these murders are casualties of war, they are victims of crimes against humanity. We know Putin is a tyrannical maniac, but his soldiers in the streets shooting people seem to have succumbed to some kind of terrible disease, a disease which has taken any shred of their humanity from them.

During WWII, the world did not see images of the Holocaust and the mass graves found across Europe until the Allies liberated the camps after the end. The Germans had hidden the horrors of what they had done.

Now we see these terrible images daily everywhere we turn. And you can feel the collective horror as the world realizes just how insane Putin is.

They say his war is popular in Russia, but we cannot judge the true sentiments of the Russian people, when to speak out is to be imprisoned and there is no free media, only Putin’s propaganda constantly…
