Putin's 'threat of genocide' against Ukraine is the 'threat' of a drowning man.

Germany readied itself for an invasion in 1944, forming the 'People's Army', that conscripted and trained children 16 years and below to use anti-tank weapons against the invading allied forces.

As The History Place recounts, 

"On September 25, 1944, anticipating the invasion of the German Fatherland, the Volkssturm (People's Army) was formed under the overall command of Heinrich Himmler. Every available male aged 16 to 60 was conscripted into this new army and trained to use the Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon. Objections to using even younger boys were ignored.

If the boys happened to get cornered by American patrols, they often battled until the last boy was killed rather than surrender. And the boys kept getting younger. American troops reported capturing armed 8-year-olds at Aachen in Western Germany and knocking out artillery units operated entirely by boys aged twelve and under."

Fast forward to 2025 and, as Andrew Osborn (right) reports,

"A Russian factory, described by its director as the world's biggest maker of strike drones, has been shown on the Russian army's TV channel with teenagers helping make kamikaze drones to attack Ukraine.

Young workers, including teenagers, were shown with their faces blurred out, studying computer screens or making and testing individual components, or assembling drones."

At the same time, as reported by Dasha Litvinova (left),

"In the last two months, cellphone internet shutdowns, which officials say are needed to foil Ukrainian drones, have hit dozens of Russian regions - from those from those near the fighting to parts of Siberia and even the Far East.
...
Some Wi-Fi outages also have been reported. Russians contacted by The Associated Press talked about card payments not going through, taxi and ride-sharing apps not working properly, ATMs that sometimes fail."

Putin's current 'demonic' onslaught of drone attacks against Ukraine's civilian population, to the extent of  using Russian teenagers to help make kamikaze drones to attack the civilian population of Ukraine, is showing the world that he is losing his war In Ukraine.

This also signifies his 'desperation' to ensure that ANY talks about 'ceasefires or peace' in
his war with Ukraine will have, hanging over it,
his intention to commit genocide against the people of Ukraine in the same way as Stalin did during the Holodomor from 1932 to 1933.

As reported by Stuart Lau (left),

Russia and Ukraine will hold a new round of peace talks in Istanbul on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

Russia's RIA news agency, quoting a source, said the latest round of talks would take place over two days, on Thursday and Friday.

Commenting on the prospects for a breakthrough, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov

But true to the 'Novorossiya' mindset of Putin,  

"Since the last round of talks, the Kremlin released a memorandum with exacting conditions for a ceasefire including

  •  the annexation of four more of Ukraine's regions, 
  • the disarmament of its military 
  • and control over its diplomacy.
  •  It also reveals Russia's desire to control Ukraine's elections 
  • and the country's linguistic and religious policies 
  • and fend off future war reparations demands. " (France 24: 21 July 2025) (my emphasis)


Is it any wonder Peskov remarked that,

" the two sides were "diametrically opposed" and "a lot of diplomatic work lies ahead. " (ibid Stuart Lau) 

In other words, Putin demands the FULL capitulation of Ukraine, and its absorption into Russia. 

The "genocidal" threat against the people of Ukraine that Putin is dangling over the upcoming talks in Istanbul, as evidenced by his 'current drone onslaught against the people of Ukraine', is being met by Ukraine's allies ramping up military equipment support for Ukraine, as well as increasing financial support for Ukreaine. 

As Laura Kayali, Chris Lunday and Veronika Melkozerova (left) report,

"The United Kingdom and Germany are leading a renewed push to provide air defense systems and ammunition to Ukraine, on the heels of a 50-day ultimatum given by U.S. President Donald Trump to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

"We need to step up in turn to a 50 day drive to arm Ukraine on the battlefield," said U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey as the group of allies, also known as the Ramstein format, met online on Monday."

Kateryna Danishevska (left) also informed us that,

"The European Union has included €100 billion in its long-term budget for 2028–2034 to support Ukraine. The funds will be allocated through the Ukraine Facility, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced, according to European Pravda.

"We are allocating €100 billion for Ukraine," von der Leyen said during the presentation of the draft budget."

Cornered Putin's 'threat of genocide' against Ukraine is the 'threat' of a drowning man.
