Afghanistan — 4 Ukraine — 68 Fatezh, Russia 🇷🇺 population around 4 600. Russians often commemorate those killed in their aggressive wars on a single monument to “soldiers—internationalist” so they have a nice comparison of the slaughter Putin has prepared for them.

11. Zelensky has arrived 4 times in the US under Trump (an obvious mistake). He is met by now US official or red carpet. The sheer diplomatic minimum is the head of protocol of the State Department, but Trump just spits Zelensky in his face in diplomatic terms. /6
