Poland`s aid to Ukraine if Russia invades [14740]
I know not everyone is convinced about the... authenticity of the FSB/Wind of change letters
I was very sceptical however yes, they have been spot on so far.
They read like something from a thriller novel, however so does pretty well everything in this horrible situation. Sadly they do have an air of credibility about them, whatever the story behind them.
Yesterday I was somewhere that had been shelled very heavily with r*ssian involvement and with aerial bombardment too. It looked like Mariupol. Whole buildings brought to ruin, concrete shells with rubble, burnt out and wrecked. Twisted steel. Impassable streets, piles of concrete, bits of destroyed furniture. Not a bit of glass except for broken bits anywhere.
A (very) few people were sitting outside what was once their homes, squatting in the ruins. They looked broken. It was surreal to see. A justification of lives and destruction with destruction dominating everything. A broken place, broken people. All I could compare it to were the way people looked in the film Threads after the bomb had dropped. Utter despondency and resignation.
Does that story sound exaggerated or made up?
It isn't. I was there yesterday and in tears afterwards. Certainly the worst thing I've
seen. Things that sound like fiction really do happen.
We should take nothing for granted, especially where r*ssia is concerned. What seems like fiction can all too easily become hellish fact.
