"The secret to freedom is in educating the people, whereas the secret to tyranny is keeping them ignorant."
Robespierre

[Ucanthandlthetruth]

Time to conduct a "special hacking operation."

[bliss]

War is so incredibly traumatizing, especially to children. I am reminded of the movie, “A Beautiful Life, ” about a father who gave his life to protect his son from the emotional damage of being held captive in a Nazi Death Camp. It was such a bittersweet story, and the actor who played the father received an Oscar for his role.

[kenw.]

Our best hackers need to break in and make the true information available to Russian people.

[bdso]

Same here in the US. What's your point?

[chelittle]

Well if Russian search engine is hiding it it can be hacked so the information can get through. And I'm sure we're doing that but we need to step it up more.

[georgebodley]

Isn't that what happened with the us UK illegal war in iraq

[michaelmalia]

Seems like we so the same only we call it privelige, redactions, classified, or ongoing investigation informations

but in the end, there it is." ... Churchill

[gerardflynn]

Russia should be kicked out of the UN.

[TrickyNeverLaughs]

Rus. attacked a nation having similar tradition and culture with themselves, my fellow friends from Asia, just imagine what would happen to us in their hands. Only America can save us.

[donna]

I saw a video "Putin will be gone soon: Exiled Russian dissident ... France 24 website. He discusses Russian polling results and said Russians know pollsters know their phone numbers and where they live.

[michaelmullins]

And as us as America the leader of the Free country needs to stand up and take charge Ukraine is wanting freedom and the USA that's how we do is we are free and we fight for freedom

[ageeenko]

Since the start of the war EU's aid to Ukraine was €1bn at the same time EU paid Russia €35bn for energy. (Borrell)
The World has to say its firm NO to Russian fascism and stop feeding aggressor.
A Human has to feel proud and happy when paying higher prices for utilities and at the petrol stations knowing it’s his personal contribution to a better safer world.

[MedusaJellyFish]

Thank you for this amazing information 👏 ❤️

[francoisleveille]

He looks exactly like Gru and has the same accent!! No, this has nothing to do with the war. Slava Ukraini !

[sharon]

And while half of the US (GOP) wants to be under geo-political authoritarianism, they have taken for granted what democracy is.

[機械の中の幽霊]

Most people in the US have their own favorite news channel and only believe what they see and hear everyday on their prefered network, with neither side feeling any need to fact check their favorite network's reporting. No doubt Russians are the same, but with far less choice available .

[tvdinner]

Come on World. Surely this should be the focus, if we cannot actually join the physical fight?
