I Stand with Ukraine - STOP THE WAR - a photo on Flickriver

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.

In early January, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov tells U.S. officials that Russia has no plans to invade Ukraine.

February 10, 2022 – Russia and Belarus begin joint military exercises with 30,000 Russian troops stationed in the country along Ukraine’s northern border.

In mid-February, the fighting escalates between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian forces in the two eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. Separatist leaders call for evacuations. "In our view, what is happening in Donbas today is, in fact, genocide," says Putin on Feb. 15 — a false claim that Western officials say Putin is using to create a pretext for an invasion.

Russia continues to build its troop presence on its border with Ukraine. Estimates range from 150,000 to 190,000 troops. U.S. officials, including Biden, increase the urgency of their warnings, saying that Russia has decided to invade.

On Feb. 21, Putin formally recognizes the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic — including territory claimed by separatists but controlled by the Ukrainian armed forces. He orders Russia's military to deploy troops there under the guise of a "peacekeeping" mission.

February 24, 2022 - Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine — the largest such military operation in Europe since the end of World War II. Missiles rain down on Ukraine's cities and columns of Russian troops from neighboring Belarus and from Russian-held Crimea reportedly begin streaming into the countryside. Ukrainian forces reportedly try to hold back the Russian advance on several fronts.

Since then:

Cities have been flattened.

24 hospitals including a Maternity ward and a children’s hospital have been bombed, as well as residential areas, schools, food warehouses and innocent civilians.

More than 2.7 million Ukrainians as of today have become refugees in neighboring countries, who have opened their borders and received them with open arms. More are expected to flee as the war rages on.

Many people, mostly women with young children have had to walk for days in the bitter cold without food or water trying to escape the war, with their lives packed in a small suitcase and afraid to be killed before reaching the border.

Many others have stayed behind, staying at homes or shelters without power, water or food, causing the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history.

Trenches are being dug to bury the dead in mass graves, bringing back memories of WWII

People are dying from the cold, hunger and thirst including children, entire families are being executed by Russian troops without mercy.

The other face:

People in Russia have been brainwashed. They do not believe the atrocities committed by the Russian troops carrying out orders of their leaders.

Those who know the truth because they have access to internet and other sources and dare to protest are beaten and arrested, and sentenced to 15 years in jail, children are sentenced to 3.

Innocent boys and men gone to war, leaving their mothers, wives and children, families behind thinking they were going to a military exercise. More than 5000 Russian soldiers will not return home.
