Today is the 19th day of WAR in Ukraine.
The 4th round of negotiation between Ukrainian and russian delegation is expected today. This time not on the territory of belarus but online.
Don’t expect a breakthrough there.
The only positive outcome of previous rounds is that some green corridors for evacuation were arranged and some of those arranged in fact worked.
But not for Mariupol, neither civilians can leave the city nor the humanitarian help can enter it.
More than 2000 inhabitants have already died there and this number is growing very fast every day.
In fact real figures are much higher since because of constant shelling there is no ability to precisely count victims. There is no even possibility to bury them.
No water, no food, no medicine, no safe place, no funeral.
This is Mariupol today.
Navalny team announced massive street protests for last Sunday in Russia.
“Stop being afraid, there are no enough paddy wagons for everyone”, they said.
Well, according to available data roughly 800 people were arrested all over Russia, including somewhat 300 in Moscow yesterday.
Once again, in Moscow with 12mio inhabitants the protests were so unbelievably huge that 300 only people were arrested.
After 18 days of war street protests gathered not thousands and millions but just few hundreds of people…
Where were the rest? Face the reality.
They were queueing in McDonald’s since it was the last day of its work.
They were crying in Instagram since it was the last day of its work.
They were leaving the country in all possible directions, while it is still possible.
Civil society, yeah, bad joke.
Stop expecting that the sharp deterioration of the quality of live because of sanctions will make the average Russian to protest against Putin. No.
Lermontov was right, it is the country of masters, the country of slaves.
Ukrainian citizens in Kherson and Melitopol, southern Ukrainian cities occupied by Russian forces, show every day what is real street protests and what is having no fear.
The photo is from Kherson, “we are Ukrainians, not Russian slaves”
Despite protesting in front of armed soldiers and armored vehicles, despite arrests of the leaders, they keep on proving that both Kherson and Melitopol are still Ukraine.
We are Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernigiv and Sumy.
We are Kherson and Melitopol.
We are Mariupol.
We are the nation. We are Ukrainians!
