🚒 The son of a deceased Ukrainian rescuer recounts that his father died as a result of a cynical and vile Russian attack, when Russia strikes a second time specifically to kill the rescuers who arrive to save people.
There is a dilemma here—to allow the victims under the rubble of residential buildings, hospitals, and educational institutions to perish, or to save them? Russia, counting on the morality of Ukrainians—which it views as a weakness, because such “weaknesses” as honor and morality prevent countries from using forbidden methods of warfare, killing civilians, and violating agreements, while Russia is free from these restrictions—kills rescuers together with the surviving victims in this way.
Many philosophers have contemplated how truly evil this is. Anyone who has read them knows what it means. But our task is not to allow this moral decay to spread beyond Russia and become the norm, if Russia itself can no longer be saved.
This strategy is an attempt to weaponize our own compassion against us, to make us question the very values that define our civilization. If we stop sending rescuers, we have already surrendered our humanity to the Russian abyss. However, we must evolve: if the enemy treats morality as a tactical target, we must treat their ‘moral impunity’ as a strategic vulnerability. Every strike on a rescuer must be met with an accelerated, asymmetrical cost—economic, technological, and defensive—so that the Kremlin realizes that its ‘cynical efficiency’ is actually drawing a target on its own survival. We must ensure that for every life they take in this cowardly manner, the regime’s own machinery of oppression is pushed one step closer to its inevitable collapse.
Now it’s not even a world war, now it’s a World War with all the world’s evil on the side of Russia and all the world’s good on the side of Ukraine. And we see how many countries are ready to side with Russia, take up arms and fight, and that Ukraine is still alone and has not yet received all the possible weapons. This says a lot about our world…

EXCLUSIVE: Ukraine believes it has wrested back the initiative on the battlefield by striking Russian troops, logistics hubs and oil infrastructure.
