It's not OK for the West led by the US with British precedents to seize the high moral ground when it's up to its throat in a shit bog of human rights crimes. Russia has been too muted on the issue of its sacrifices for humanity, and the situation in Ukraine is part of that narrative. It is time for them to seize the narrative, honour and celebrate the 14,000 martyrs in Donbas who are a symbol of Russia patience and good faith. A special flag and day is needed to commemorate them, and Russia's present stand against the massacre that the West ignored, along with the 28 millions who died rather than nazify Russia.
