The so-called "Russian world" means living your entire life in your own home, engaging in politics, helping people—only to have terrorists show up one day and imprison you for 12 years.

Russians executed 5 Ukrainian POWs near Petrivka, Pokrovsk district, on 13 November.

After an assault, the soldiers sought refuge in a house but were captured, forced to surrender, and lie on the ground before being shot by the occupiers.

Now we’ll see whether the Kremlin intends to follow through on its many promises.

If it doesn’t it’ll only deepen belief among some that Putin is about big words, but little action.
