I read on MTI that rocket strikes had been carried out by Russian forces attacking Ukraine in Chernihiv, a city in northern Ukraine. The attack resulted in casualties and injuries.
The strike hit the city center, impacting a theater and a university building. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that the attack had resulted in 5 fatalities and 37 injuries. Other drones crashed in Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr, causing damage to civilian infrastructure. The deputy governor of Khmelnytskyi reported two injuries. According to Ukrainian sources, these drones are of Iranian origin.
It’s quite worrying that those who’ve been released from prison and have a history of criminal behavior are involved in conflicts. Meanwhile, their spouses hold out hope that these individuals may face repercussions, but they appears they will survive and upon returning home, they may perpetuate harm, often leaving those affected unable to report the incidents due to a skewed view of them as war heroes.
It’s thought-provoking to observe that it’s often the wrongdoers and those with cruel tendencies who manage to avoid accountability and even gain support. In places like North Korea and Afghanistan, there seems to be an unfortunate admiration for figures like Kim Jong-un, and these historical patterns resonate with past medieval fanaticism.
In addition, there’s a concerning trend of applauding individuals with criminal backgrounds. This can be observed even in Soviet contexts, where political figures openly endorse leaders like Putin and even nuclear conflict. It’s disheartening to witness the readiness to prioritize victory at the expense of lives, seemingly indifferent to the broader consequences.
Truly, the state of our world raises significant concerns. The hope is that history will recognize these circumstances for what they are – potentially characterizing them as a terrorist state, a mark of shame in the collective memory of humanity, similar to the way certain regions like Afghanistan and Iran have been seen through history.
