Recently I came across several articles aimed at the English-speaking reader in which Russia's attack on Ukraine is legitimized. Articles describe Ukraine, Ukrainians, our army, our fighters as disgusting Nazi criminals who do not respect human dignity and torture and kill people for entertainment and get pleasure from it.

But in reality, everything is completely the opposite. The Ukrainian army, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, various special forces (including Azov), the Security Service of Ukraine are trying with all their might to prevent Russian Nazism in Ukraine.

We are not fighting for territory, we are fighting for the truth. But Russia has a lot of money and it can buy any article in any publication in the world. What can my post do against articles in the most famous publications? But I will try anyway.

After we defeated the Russians, their crimes in Bucha, Vorzel, Borodyanka were revealed. All data is available on Wikipedia. The Russians do not respect human dignity, there are hundreds of thousands of videos filmed by the Russians of how they torture Ukrainian prisoners, cut off their heads and penises, they do not even disdain women and torture them. The latest example is when the Russians returned to us the body of a Ukrainian journalist without organs but with traces of torture. There are hundreds of thousands of testimonies of Ukrainian fighters about torture who return from captivity.

Now about the Azov fighters. Azov is a special unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was these fighters (more precisely, small number of fighters) who held back the attack of Russian troops for a long time and distracted the rest of the Russian troops from Kyiv. Moscow made Nazis out of them and reading the comments of readers I got the impression that all the crimes of the Russian army that occupied Mariupol were hung on them.

The so-called liberators from Russia suddenly discovered the crimes of the Azov fighters? Or wasn't it the other way around? The truth is that as long as there were no Russians on our lands, there were no mass murders, torture, abuse of people, rape, deportations... As long as Mariupol and the rest of the cities are occupied, we do not know the scale of their crimes. But we understand that our fighters are slandered and unfairly accused of the crimes of the Moscow regime.

I am convinced that the truth will always surface, no matter how much Russia tries to suppress it with false articles. Now we are fighting an information war for the hearts and minds of people. The Russians are fighting for territories, but we are fighting to prevent this disgusting terror, this fear of force, this abuse of people, violence from spreading throughout the earth. And it is not in vain that God made us Russia's closest neighbors, because only Ukraine and the countries of Eastern Europe, which have suffered from Moscow for centuries, will be able to break the Kremlin's spine.
