Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Tell the people that are important to you what they mean to you. Give them a hug and listen to them when they need someone. Be excellent to each other.

A pretty chilling video from the Ilovaisk breakout. Ukrainian troops in buses and trucks pass Russian soldiers standing in trenches just some 10 meters away. Minutes later, Russians violated their "ceasefire" and opened fire on the strung out Ukrainian columns.
@Teoyaomiquu That said, it's all being relativized by putting it next to Ukrainian losses or saying they aren't 'that' big.
Typical fascist stuff. The sacrifice was worth it an honorable, but it actually wasn't that big of a deal.
@Teoyaomiquu There is a really interesting aspect of martyrdom and the myth of russian victimhood, making sacrifice necessary.
Good book about it
