Russia-Ukraine Crisis : One for Country Other for Destroy, Kill & Plunder

Editor’s Monitoring Desk / Islamabad/ Pakistan

It’s long been known that in crisis circumstances, people’s core personality features come to forefront. This manifests itself both at the individual and at the collective level. War is a perfect storm that comprehensively tests everyone it affects.

Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine: as a result of night rocket fire by the occupiers of the Podolsk district of the capital – large-scale destruction and eight deaths, an investigation has been launched. Information on the dead and injured is being clarified.Deputy Mayor of Kyiv O. Povoroznyuk on the night bombings in Kyiv: “There are uninhabitable houses. 6 houses, 2 schools, 2 kindergartens, 3 houses are practically uninhabitable.”

From the first days of the war unleashed by Russia, a striking gap between Ukrainians and Russians became noticeable: at the moment when the former rallied to defend their country and support the Army, the latter could only destroy and kill. And this is the key difference that completely eliminates the Kremlin’s ideological dogma about the “one people” and “common roots.”

People’s worldview in war times comes under increased pressure and stress. A person loses all protective barriers and exposes his true self. In the same way, this applies to the Russians: in the occupied Ukrainian settlements, many of the “liberator” soldiers are mainly engaged in extortion, looting, killings of civilians, and other acts of violence.

According to eyewitnesses who managed to flee the occupied areas of the northwestern part of Kyiv region, Russian soldiers embody moral decline and disregard for any universal values. They destroy and plunder.

Against their background, the so-called “Kadyrov’s forces” – the ethnic Chechen units – behave with even more dignity. An average Russian conscript, who just got out of school, is a collective image of Putin’s Russia: deceitful, vile, envious, striving to break into the neighbor’s yard, never missing a chance to steal stuff, and, of course, poisoned by propaganda.

The same is true of today’s Russian society – totally poisoned by criminal Kremlin propaganda, hating the whole world, and believing that in Ukraine the Russian army is killing Russia’s enemies.

Modern Russians are simply unable to critically comprehend a different version of events than the one shown on TV screens. That is why they allowed Putin to start this criminal war in the first place, which confirms the thesis about the morally deformed and corrupt Russians.

And this is the key difference between the Russians, fragments of the Horde empire that have failed to find their place in the modern world, and the Ukrainians, a nation that, despite the war and terror waged by the Kremlin, is building its own country. Their Great Ukraine.
