"The Occupant" - a film made from the videos found on the phone of a russian POW. This comment best describes it:
"Brilliant portrait of a Russian soldier. The scene of the bike he gifts to his daughter being mirrored when we see a scene with another child's bike at 13:51 being carried by distraught fleeing Ukrainian refugees is beyond poetic, and serves as a powerful metaphor for the innocence lost in this young man. There are a lot of powerful parallel scenes like this throughout, him being driven around in a luxury car while partying with friends contrasted with the scenes of him being driven around in a tank/APC and stumbling on a destroyed convoy. Whoever edited this documentary together from just cellphone footage is a very perceptive talented artist showing very much with very little. Posing very important questions about sympathy, guilt, complicity and the human condition/experience in general."
Another powerful scene is when the occupant talks to a Chechenyan grandpa. The grandpa says "leave us alone". He represents so many non-russian russians. The Ukrainian children on the occupied territories are about to enter the meat-grinder in Ukraine as russian occupants. Read more the story of Chechnya on wiki. It is just one of many

Please share this with as many people as possible! Especially those who believe in BS like "it's all because of NATO" or "the politicians can't divide something and the population suffers"

Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government.
