Il sole sta sorgendo su Kiev il 1238 ° giorno dell’invasione su vasta scala. Chi sta inviando la Russia in prima linea?

In its war against Ukraine, Russia sends ethnic minorities to the front lines in disproportionate numbers — a brutal tactic of demographic engineering.

Historian [Volodymyr Viatrovych](https://www.instagram.com/viatrovych/?hl=en), former Head of Ukraine’s Institute of National Remembrance and current secretary of the Parliamentary Commission on Communication with Russia’s Oppressed Peoples, explains why Russia’s war is also a war against its own indigenous peoples — and how appeasing Moscow means turning a blind eye to the erasure of dozens of nations suppressed by the Kremlin.
