Today, few in Germany would applaud him. Putin’s contribution to the
European house today is to bomb it. No one would associate his name with
democracy or freedom anymore. Putin has done what no one in Europe has
dared to do since Adolf Hitler: He has attacked another country in the
middle of the continent with his troops and air force, sending in more
than 100,000 men.
The West has expressed shock over Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
But the Kremlin boss has been speaking openly for years about his vision
of a Russian empire. This is the escalation he has been seeking for 20
years.

Emine Dzheppar, stellvertretende Ministerin für auswärtige
Angelegenheiten in der Ukraine, veröffentlichte auf ihrem Twitter-Kanal
ein Foto von den Angriffen auf Popasna. Dazu schreibt sie: „Die
Eindringlinge setzten Phosphorbomben ein. Wenn es explodiert, verteilt
es eine Substanz mit einer Verbrennungstemperatur von mehr als 800
Grad.“ Den Einsatz verurteilt Dzheppar scharf: „Die Verwendung ist nach
internationalem Recht verboten“.
There is this one sentence that you find everywhere in Kyiv. Initially,
it began appearing as hastily scrawled graffiti, but before long, it
could be seen carefully painted on a yellow bus being used to barricade a
highway into the city. It then showed up at the entrance to the city
administration building and, on day three, it was projected on digital
display panels. By the end of the week, we started seeing it carefully
printed on Ukrainian flags: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself!"
