Black Tulips is also a group of Ukrainian volunteers who return their fallen countrymen back to their homes for a proper burial. One 17 year old kid from Sloviansk was killed when he stepped on a mine not too long ago while doing such.
All because of RuSSia. This is Putins fault and all RuSSians who approve of this mess. Don't get it twisted RuSSky boys.

Yeah I am pretty sure Stalin said, “If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that’s only statistics.” Which was referring to the Ukrainian farmers and people starving.

[@howardzhang5421]

@@albertkkim Do some research. So many quotes are wrongly attributed to Stalin, especially during to cold war, to paint the image of a evil dictator. About the Ukrainian farmers and people starving, I assume you are talking about the Holodomor. First things first, it was by no means a man made famine. This image is painted by Ukrainian nationalists, but in reality it was due to a combination of factors, such as the fact that the USSR at that point in time did not have a fully developed agricultural system, relying mainly on grain, which inevitably caused famine when their harvests failed. In addition, kulaks destroyed their crops and machines and killed their livestock due to collectivisation, which further compounded the issue. Important to note that the grain quotas for the Ukrainian SSR was lowerd by 60 percent, if I remembered correctly.
