Putin unleashed a wave of suffering, death and destruction on Ukrainians, so I'm sure they are well aware of why they are fighting.
In this photo taken on April 2, 2022, bodies of some 20 men lie on Yablunska Street in Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, after the Russian army pulled back from the city following a failed attempt to encircle the capital. The first body in the picture has been identified as Mykhailo Kovalenko, 62, who was shot dead by Russian soldiers. His relatives said Kovalenko got out of his car with his hands up to present himself at a checkpoint. Still, the Russian troops manning the checkpoint opened fire, killing him. The man's wife and daughter survived by fleeing.
