Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

Here's an example of what Trump's "peaceful" plans will bring to Ukraine: russian occupation, torture, hunger, and death.

The Holodomor was a series of artificial famines by the soviet regime in 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947. The most devastating (1932–1933) was a genocide of Ukrainians, taking millions of lives.
Remember those who died of hunger on their own land.
Remember those responsible for it.

Footage has surfaced online showing unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war executed while lying face down, accompanied by the approving shouts of those filming the scene.
This is not an isolated atrocity, it is russia’s pattern. Execution. Torture. Destruction.

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who perished during the Holodomor — the genocide orchestrated by the USSR in 1932–1933 to crush resistance to the communist regime and to erase Ukrainians as an independent nation.
