Learn to understand others.
Most people do not want to understand
others, instead wanting others
to understand them. This is egotism.
We should try to think
less of ourselves and more of others.
Try to understand others better.

"On June 29, Russia and Ukraine exchanged prisoners of war. The exchange took place near the village of Kamenskoye, about 46 kilometers from Zaporizhzhya. Itwas carried out at the standard rate of one person per person(144 to 144).

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that the largest exchange of prisoners of war took place. Moscow, in particular, handed over to Kiev 95 servicemen who surrendered on the territory of the Mariupol Azovstal plant, including 43 soldiers of the Azov regiment.

During the exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine, 47 citizens of the DPR were released, the DPR ombudsman said.

Among the exchanged Russian POWs there were reportedly several officers and two pilots as the Ukrainian Armed Forces were extremely reluctant to give up military personnel with combat experience.

The exchange of captured Russian soldiers for fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was carried out on the direct instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, claimed on June 30."

Why did you close the pipeline? Stop giving our tax dollars to other countries!

[TurfToken]

Please end all wars now.

It is not right that a bunch of us are home safe and sound YouTubing while a bunch of people are sacrificing their lives for us when they are also scared of pain and death like us.

I really hope we can find a another way to resolve things rather than hurt each other for selfishness.

[marcelgaming]
