Викупай трохи, нє

Last night, a group of pro-russian provocateurs staged a spectacle near Kyiv. They attacked military personnel and launched an entire information campaign. Many foreign friends and readers are likely unaware of one highly telling detail: many of these provocateurs have already been identified. A large number of them have been working systematically for russia for years. They organized provocations back during the pandemic, and have continued to do so throughout the war. Some are directly linked to pro-russian politicians who continue to openly work against Ukraine. Their names are known, and their actions are documented—yet, all these years, they have walked freely through the streets of Ukrainian cities, receiving instructions from their russian handlers. This is a significant nuance, especially given that the russians are currently propagating a narrative about "repression" and "abductions" in Ukraine. The reality is quite different: Ukraine actually treats individuals who work for russia—and assist in its attempt to destroy our country—with a great deal of leniency.
