All day, people have been bringing flowers to the building in Kyiv shattered by a Russian missile. 31 lives ended here. Over the past few days, I’ve been translating their obituaries from Ukrainian media into English. Not just because they deserve to be remembered - though they do. But because I want you to think of them the next time you hear recycled russian propaganda. 'But you celebrate bombing oil refineries,' they say. 'But you this, but you that.' Yes. We celebrate setting fire to the Russian war machine. The same machine that does this to sleeping families. To children. And you should too.
