Great to see such progress in the field and to share smiles, enthusiasm, and ideas. #ARVO2024

In my humble opinion, what happened in that Olenivka jail was a mass execution.
That new building was a death row, and Russians never intended to keep those Azovstal fighters alive in the first place.

Calls to avoid humiliation of Russia can only humiliate France and every other country that would call for it. Because it is Russia that humiliates itself. We all better focus on how to put Russia in its place. This will bring peace and save lives.
