The cause of Russia’s military debacle in Ukraine however lies in its callousness towards human life, Ukrainian and Russian.

In Syria, Russia orchestrated the targeting of civilian infrastructure to break the will of the resistance, while waging a relentless propaganda campaign against civilian medical organisations trying to save lives.
