russia's victims are not nameless statistics. They are real people whose lives russia has violently cut short.
The Klochkovi couple tried to escape the occupied village of Hrabovske. They managed to travel 7km — before russians hunted them down and killed them.
Remember them.

A russian Lancet drone tried to hit civilians far from the frontline, but was stopped by a net near Sloviansk🙏
This is one of the measures to protect people from deadly drones.
Another one is to shoot those drones down:

This likely explains why she has become a regular guest on Norwegian vatnik Glenn Diesen’s show. Diesen is a member of Putin’s Valdai club, has worked extensively for RT, denied Russia’s role in the MH17 shootdown, and labeled the Euromaidan as a “NATO-backed coup d’État.”

Ms. Havryshko eagerly highlights even minor social media posts showing alleged far-right activity in Ukraine, yet shows little interest when the same occurs in the US. In her upside-down framing, American neo-Nazis are protected by the First Amendment, so it’s all kosher.

Unlike other vatniks, Marta does not deny Russian atrocities — she just seems to argue they are all the more reason to surrender (to those committing them!), as if that would somehow make them stop. Arguably, this is even more insidious than open support for the invasion.
