In one of the torture chambers, the russian occupiers had set up a so-called ‘children’s cell’ which consisted of nothing more than three thin foam mats on the floor.

This was announced at a press conference by Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights.

“They cut with knives and burned parts of the body”

The children were given water every other day, were barely fed and subjected to psychological pressure: they were told that their parents had abandoned them.

Those who were held in these torture chambers testify that everyone knew the children were being tortured.

One boy spent 90 days in one of the torture chambers. He was cut with a knife, had parts of his body burned, and was taken out to be shot, they fired over his head.

if you're a rabbit, the boss rabbit is the one who gets groomed by its subordinate rabbits.

but if you're a cat... the boss cat is the one that grooms the other cats.

if a fictional character is russian and lives during Russia’s military aggression against another country, and the work never addresses their thoughts or position on that war in any way, it automatically reinforces an already existing space where russians are not expected to reflect on the criminal actions of their state or their fellow citizens.

At the same time, it reassures russians — through foreign media — that the world also doesn’t see this as their problem.

If you believe that giving a fictional character a stance on their country’s military invasion "isn’t important", or that “there’s no reason to bring it up” because the story is just about their everyday life, then it’s hard to expect anything more responsible from real people.

“This is just a story about the struggles of an ordinary german dude during World War II — without touching on war or nazism, because he’s just a civilian and his personal life is already difficult” — i hope the analogy speaks for itself.
