Vladimir Putin desperately wants to hide a dark truth from the world:
The Soviet Union was actively allied with Nazi Germany until 1941, and would have stayed its loyal partner even longer had Adolf Hitler not betrayed them first.
Modern Russia has transformed World War II and imperial expansion into a fanatical state religion. However, this entire cult of memory is built on a foundation of historical lies designed to sanitize the Kremlin's bloody past. The historical reality is that Stalin's USSR gave massive economic and strategic help to the Nazi war machine, fueling the early blitzkrieg and cooperating to rip Poland apart.
This legacy of deception directly shapes Russia's current war of aggression. The Kremlin manufactures shameless lies about ”denazifying” Ukraine to justify a lawless, imperialist land grab.
In a twist of absolute hypocrisy, Moscow projects its own dark impulses onto a democratic neighbor while ignoring the rampant extremism within its own borders.
Nowhere is this clearer than on the front, where Russia actively deploys open neo-nazi paramilitary units like the notorious Rusich group to carry out its ambitions.
Through its violent expansionism, total suppression of truth, and worship of state terror, today's Russia has become the closest living inheritor of the Nazi Germany it claims to despise
Only after Nnani passed away I found out that she was not foreign student, but Ukrainian of Nigerian roots.
Nnani was born in Ukraine.

Our city will remember Nnani and Fatima beautifully.
“We don’t owe Ukraine anything.”
Really?
Look at this photo.
This didn’t happen because of Ukraine’s internal problems.
It happened because Ukraine is attacked by a foreign state—a UN member, a country that for many years was your trading partner, your energy supplier, whose culture many still celebrate, and whose symbols still remain visible across Europe.
Then ask yourself one question: Has your country sent exactly €0 to Russia’s war economy since the full-scale invasion?
If the answer is no, you’ve helped sustain the state that’s bombing Ukrainian families.
So don’t look away. Because the photo is your responsibility as well.
Some lions were about to hunt a baby buffalo, and its mother went to defend it.
And when it seemed they were going to eat them both, the entire herd fell.

Chemical weapons have been used on our streets in Britain, in Ukraine and against Russia’s own citizens.
From Salisbury to Siberia and the continued systematic use of chemical weapons in Ukraine – we will not allow this reckless behaviour by Russia.
