Ukrainian author turned soldier Oleksandr Mykhed: ‘This is not Putin’s war. This is a war waged by the whole Russian nation’
Mykhed’s rage is epic, Homeric. Russia’s invasion is genocidal, he argues. He points to double-tap strikes (when rescue missions are deliberately targeted); the use of phosphorus bombs; the abduction of thousands of children; ecologically consequential events such as the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the occupation of Chornobyl nuclear power plant; the mass killing of civilians (a total still unknowable, but in Mariupol alone, for example, the Ukrainian city authorities estimated that 22,000 were killed during two months of fighting). His rage is against not just Putin but against the Russians – “because this is not Putin’s war. This is a war waged by the whole Russian nation, and all the people that are coming here to commit war crimes, and all the little people who think that they don’t influence it, but who are part of the evil.”
