They know perfectly well why it's warranted. That's why they're so desperate. As in literally every other case of prosecutor intimidation you will find.

It's an "interpretation" but an obviously rubbish one. One doesn't go to such extreme lengths as stalking the Chief Prosecutor, making thinly-veiled threats to their family's safety and so on unless one is perfectl

Yep - it's very helpful to keep these in mind. Thanks for posting.

Yup, they're pretty freaky. But if their quotes pan out with other sources, they may be useful. Thanks for posting.

The Ukrainians made their own decision to fight. They knew perfectly well it would involve massive death and possibly years of fighting. But they know their long history with their "brotherly" neighbors to the north, and hence,
