There are at least two better things to do than outright blocking:
1. Show them the peace address to Russian people by the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy.
2. Show them the photos of people taking shelter in Kyiv's and Kharkiv's underground metro stations. Russian media is banned from reporting anything but official information and official information lies that this is only a limited "de-nazification operation" in small eastern parts of Ukraine. These are extremely powerful photos, as they mirror the experience in Moscow under Nazi attack in WWII, which is as iconic to Russians as the photo of Iwo Jima flag rising or dead soldiers on Buna Beach are to Americans. There are other photos to show too, such as of burning churches in Sumy, which mirror the collective memory of burning churches under the Mongol invasion. Or that NY Times photo of a dead Russian soldier lying under a thin layer of fresh white snow next to a destroyed APC. Russia doesn't even admit any casualties yet and lies to its population every step of the way. Show them the truth!

- mopsi 5y agoNo no, this is far worse. Major Ukrainian cities have always been considered a part of the Russian world. Russians bombing Kyiv sounds as insane as USAF bombing Philadelphia. There's no support for the war whatsover this time around, only horror and shame over what's happening, because it's touching those deep images from collective memory. The silhouette of an Orthodox church over the backdrop of a burning city[1] is like something straight out of countless movies about Nazi and Mongol invasions of Russia[2]. We see the Russian equivalents of "the smoldering wreck of USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor" coming from Ukraine and it cuts much deeper.
