Crazy to imagine what the pilots must’ve been thinking during their last moments. The last thing they saw was their country falling into civil war. And then one hour later everyone acts as if nothing happened and goes home. But the pilots did not live to see it. What a senseless death.

Do you think Putin has wrapped his head around the fact that invading Ukraine was a fatal mistake from which he cannot recover?
Or is he still in denial?
