As Russian soldiers crawl over their own dead, Ukraine’s ex-mufti saves the lives they claim — revealing what really drives the world’s second army to raze peaceful cities.

“They will kill us and our children without hesitation,” says Ukraine’s former chief mufti, watching Russian soldiers crawling over their dead.
The man who once led interfaith prayers for peace in Donetsk’s central square — now under Russian grip for over a decade — serves as a combat medic, wondering what transforms a human being into something that devours everything in its path: your home, your bed, your children’s future, simply because their government said they could.
In the ruins of Vovchansk, once a bustling city now reduced to rubble, Said Ismagilov asks what drives men to die for nothing — only to find his answer in an ancient prophecy about gold and the ninety-nine percent who die reaching for it.
“They will eat from your plate and wear your shirt without a second thought”
They run and crawl in hordes — like locusts. Their raison d’être is to move forward at any cost and seize our homes and new territory.
Every day in Vovchansk, they attack in small groups of three to five. They trample and climb over the corpses of their comrades who stormed the same position just hours earlier. There is no logic, no meaning, no success — only the relentless throwing of bodies at us.
