The attack on democracy perpetrated by Russia via its invasion of Ukraine continues with atrocities mounting in cities occupied by Russia’s military.
Russia’s bombing of civilian targets such as hospitals, theatres, apartment buildings and residential neighborhoods has resulted in numerous civilian casualties.
Cyclists have been found lying dead beside their bikes, some executed with their hands bound behind their back.
Pedestrians sprawled in death in streets and on sidewalks have been recorded by television reporters, and mangled bodies of children have been discovered beneath rubble caused by Russian rockets and artillery fire.
Mass graves have been filled by the onslaught of Russian troops as a result of Putin’s attack on democracy.
For more than 40 days now, the Ukrainians have risen up to heroic heights in defending their nation.
More than two million refugees from Ukraine have fled to other countries such as Poland since Russia attacked full force on Feb. 24, crossing Ukraine’s border on the northeast, east, and southeast sides.
Red China waits on the wings with Taiwan, a democracy, in a perilous position as China is calling for reunification, another term for takeover of Taiwan.
While Christian organizations in American are raising funds for Ukrainians, members of NATO are stepping up to bolster NATO’s defenses and helping Ukraine by providing more sophisticated weaponry to the Ukrainians to help them defend their territory and push the Russians back.
Russian propaganda has blinded many in Russia by spreading the lie that Ukraine was being run by Nazis, and one recent survey indicated that 84 percent of Russian people support Russia’s War with Ukraine.
The high percent of Russian citizens being fooled lends testimony of the power that Vladimir Putin wields by controlling both the press and the military.
Shaping and controlling the message to the masses is as important a weapon as Putin’s battalions who were misled by Putin who brainwashed his troops into believing that they were invading Ukraine to liberate the Ukrainian people.
Rather than being received as liberators, members of the Russian army soon realized that Putin’s poisonous words were responsible for the invasion that met strong resistance rather than Putin’s prediction that they would be hailed as liberators and welcomed with open arms.
The slaughter of innocent women and children by Russian forces that have been reinforced by soldiers from other foreign nations under the thumb of dictators lends proof that democracy is under full metal jacket attack in Ukraine.
With nuclear weapons in the hands of Putin, the danger that he will use them rather than be pushed out of Ukraine remains a grave concern for the members of NATO and defenders of democracy around the world.
