It looks like Putin wants to outdo Stalin and Hitler put together, and it looks like he wants to have Russian Empire come back on the magnitudes that the world hasn’t seen before.
For us Ukrainians, there is no reason to believe that because we have had time and time again evidence when Putin has said one thing and then did the complete opposite.
Russia, the war tactics they are employing, they are absolutely barbaric.
If Ukraine goes on in concessions as to land or as to any other of the demands that Putin is making right now, we're actually going to be putting the whole world at risk.
