"A significant number of civilians, abandoned by Russian authorities without any means of survival – food, electricity, water, and gas – remain in the territory controlled by Ukrainian forces," the statement reads.

Military officials emphasized that since its establishment, the commandant's office has been providing comprehensive assistance to residents. Most of them are elderly people and children. Daily medical check-ups and necessary medical aid are provided both in the city of Sudzha and in other villages of the Kursk region under Ukrainian control.

In accordance with international humanitarian law, the military commandant's office also supplies civilians with food and water.

The Ukrainian Ground Forces added that throughout the time of the operation, the Russian side has not created any humanitarian corridors nor provided any assistance to its citizens.

OK, but what's with the article author sporting the Black Sun shirt and Thor's hammer necklace so beloved by Nazis?

Don't you dare drag Mjølnir into anything Nazi related!

My poor medieval history professor loves viking age things. He's white, and bald... and completely gay. I think he has Mjølnir ear-rings and small tattoos or something. He gets shit for it because people sometimes assume viking=nazi. ;-;

Its use by neo-Nazis is well-documented. Perhaps it's not a 100% sure sign on its own, as accurately noted by the ADL, but combined with the Black Sun, there's no other interpretation.

It's used by everyone because it's a cool symbol with stories behind it.

But It's Scandinavian. It's our old pantheon.

Even if every two-bit bodybuilder, skinhead or hippy wears a Thor's Hammer or have Odin's Spear tattooed on them, it's not and should never be associated with anything political or religious outside of the Scandinavian countries and their people.
