This is Oleh.

He was 2.

russia decided that was enough.

A missile hit his home, killing Oleh, his mother, and 14 neighbors.

He never saw peace.
Never started school.
Never had a future.

His life ended before it began.

Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russians destroyed the Kakhovka Dam — one of the worst ecological disasters of the century.

Hundreds of villages flooded, dozens of lives lost, ecosystems wiped out for generations.

Not an accident — state terror.

We remember.

For two decades, Vladimir Putin managed to trick the world into believing he was a master geopolitical chess player.

The catastrophic invasion of Ukraine has permanently shattered that illusion, exposing him as one of the most wildly overestimated strategists in modern history.

Putin's long streak of international ”successes” was never a product of strategic brilliance. Instead, his ”victories” happened simply because he was willing to break international rules and push further than his targets expected. Many of his opponents mistakenly believed that appeasement would preserve stability, which only encouraged his aggressive behavior for years.

The moment someone finally stood up to him, the entire facade came crashing down. Ukraine refused to capitulate, and the Kremlin's supposedly unstoppable military machine failed pathetically. Putin completely miscalculated the resolve of Ukrainian people and the unity of the West, proving that his earlier triumphs were just the result of bullying weak and hesitant adversaries.

By overstretching his forces in this reckless war, he has effectively ruined the economic potential and future of Russia. His legacy is now defined by a bleeding military, crippling sanctions, and absolute isolation from the developed world. It is a pathetic end for a ruler who genuinely believed his own propaganda

In this age of vast amounts of propaganda, the truth matters. Thank you journalists for sharing truth with millions in Ukraine and around the world.

June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. It honours kids affected by war and violence. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, at least 707 Ukrainian children have been killed. Behind every number is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.
