    This is central Kiev on Saturday. This massive crowd has gathered for an outdoor concert by a popular music group. The concert took place at the Blockbuster Mall located on the street named after Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera

    Meanwhile, in Moscow, the Immortal Regiment march, a solemn procession where people carry portraits of their relatives who fought or died in World War II, was canceled on May 9th because of security concerns — specifically, the risk of Ukrainian drone strikes.


    Does this mean Ukrainians are reckless and Russians aren’t? No. Does this mean Ukrainians are stupid? No. We know they aren’t. Does it mean Kiev is far better protected from drones than Moscow? We know it isn’t. So what explains this? Why did the authorities in Ukraine even permit this open air concert?


    The answer is straightforward: both the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people are confident beyond any doubt that Russia will never target civilians. Anywhere! Even on Bandera Avenue. And Russia’s track record unconditionally supports that. The same cannot be said for the Ukrainian government, which has demonstrated their terrorist nature over and over again.


    So the next time you see a mainstream media report claiming Russia attacked Ukrainian civilians, keep this video and this post in mind.
