So, we need to do more research until we will find an ultimate weapon against viruses.
As an alternative, we need to stop development of new viruses, both naturally and in labs, including Russian and North Korean labs.

For example, the majority of HN'ers thinks or thought that «dang» is Chinese name, while very few know that «dang» means «dan g». However, the majority is not an authoritative source of information.
I'm lieutenant of Ukrainian army. Your ban is least of my concern. Russians can ban me forever. HN works well over EDGE, so I can read it more easily than other sites.
It's hard to write thoughtful comments for me right now, because I left my personal notebook at home, with all links and documents, because my internet connection doesn't allow me to browse internet freely, because HN may say that I'm posting too fast after writing long and thoughtful comment.
You are not providing us with tools to fight propaganda, disinformation, and beliefs. I need something like a court system, where everybody can lay out all facts, and then they are accepted or discarded by judges. Otherwise, I'm forced to repeat my comments again and again. Create and iCourt for me, and we will use it instead of your site.
(I cannot update previous post now).
When your brain is not affected by Russian propaganda, then the text above will look like garbage for you.
Shorter text works better than longer, because it's easier to create a shortcut with short text. Also, it's easier to remember, so harder to forget, easier to pass around. We used short anecdotes, single-sentence shortcuts, etc.
I saw about a dozen of Russians with same «some football fans are using Nazi symbols -> Azov battalion is created by football fans -> Azov is Nazi -> Azov is part of Ukrainian army -> all Ukrainians are Nazi», but you did nothing to stop that.
If you think that Russian propaganda enhances your site, then go ahead and ban me.
If not, then propose a solution.
For example, Chechnya tried to escape the prison, so Russian used thousands of tons of explosives, FAE's (which is comparable to low yield nuclear weapons) to destroy independent Chechnya state, which was able to escape after first war. Russian FSB bombed their own citizens to provoke war with Chechnya.
I did not follow this closely because I'm busy with my own problems right now (furreal of 3 man killed by Russians will be tomorrow, so I need to make preparations). However, my advice to our government is in line with advices of other veterans of war with Russia: don't trust them. Russia invaded Ukraine and killed thousands after years of lies about peace. Why they will be honest today?
Actually, I tried to understand Pooking by inducing paranoia in myself. When I did that, all his actions become quite logical. He sees RF as victim of evil NATO. Any action of NATO is a step in evil plan to destroy RF. RF is so smart, so they see the evil plan of NATO, while others are blind, or pretend that they doesn't understand, or are playing their roles in the evil plan. Your text is quite logical when I'm switching to «paranoia» mode.
Because of Ilovaisk tragedy, «green corridor» now has meaning of death threat, e.g. «we will make green corridors for Russians» means «we will fool Russians and then kill them», not a promise of a safe escape.
When Russians says that they will open a green corridor for us again, everyone is flies from them.
As Jew, I was suspicious about Azov, because of Andrey Biletskiy, which looked like a Russian agent for me, so I took opportunity to visit Azov, when Civil Azov (volunteer organisation) asked for help in the end of 2014, because many Azov members wanted to visit home for Christmas after half of year at front line.
I found no Nazi in Azov at all at that time. However, I found Russian agents in Civil Azov, which pretended to be Nazi. They used Nazi symbolic, 14 88, etc. like clowns. I blended in, by pretending that I'm spying on Ukrainians, but then I did mistake and escaped. I reported them, so they are cleaned.
If you have stomach for this game, then go to frontline and replace somebody young here, please, so (s)he will not die.
Greeks influenced Ukrainian language indirectly: via songs. When Ukrainian salt traders (chumaks, чумаки) visited Crimea, they also picked fresh songs to sing when traveling, and then they spread those new song all over Ukraine. Often, chumaks based their songs on Greek songs, because ancient Greeks were much better in music. Chumaks also created portable copy of harp, which they called «bandura» («big thing»), which then used for hundreds of years.
For example, China Nuclear Corporation tries to buy Russian part of nuclear fuel facility almost built in Smolino[0], central Ukraine.
(1) Not WMD like chlorine, or nuclear, of course, nor biological weapons except coronavirus released by accident from Vector lab in Siberia on Sep 16, 2019, just conventional weapons designed to maximize damage to civilian infrastructure.
Russian invasion blocked wheat traffic from Ukraine, so it caused spike in prices for wheat. Just imagine prices for food when Ukraine will be poisoned permanently or occupied by RF, which may perform genocide of Ukrainians second time in less than 100 years. Wastelands are good for wildlife only, because humans are major danger to them.
This tactic worked well for 8 years in the case of Ukraine and was heavily (really heavily) promoted by François Hollande and Angela Merkel.
IMHO, it's good to stick to a tactic with proven track record. The main idea is to feed the monster with virgins. Give them Crimea, then Donbas, then Belarus, then South Ukraine, then Eastern Ukraine, then Central Ukraine, then Western Ukraine, then Georgia, then Finland, etc., etc., etc. With a few years between each scarification, this can keep the monster satiated for a long time, so it will be a problem of your children, while you keep a comfortable style of life. For bang per $, this is the cheapest and safest option for most Europeans and Americans.
Russia formed when Oleg from Novgorod killed Ascold and Dir (rulers of Kyїv) in 852AD, captured Kyїv, then called it as «mother of (new) Russian cities».
When Moscow tsar Petro I captured original Russia (now Ukraine), he appended «tsar of all Russia» to his tittle. Then Catherine II renamed Moscow kingdom to Russian Empire.
So, in short, RF is Russian, not Russia.
IMHO, RF should give Cuban and other territories, confiscated by USSR, back to Ukraine as compensation for 8 years of war and massive destruction of Ukrainian cities.
We don't need to bust moral after 8 years of war. It's not possible to bust something 8 years straight. My FB is full of «killed by Russian», «lost in fight», etc.
You spoke at behalf of Ukrainians, but you have zero information from Ukraine. If you have facts, then list them, please.
The point is to use the nuclear reactor like a nuclear landmine, to blow up at retreat, to do maximum amount of damage. It's called «scorched earth tactics».
Ukraine, as part of USSR, developed nukes decades ago. Ukraine is the fist post-nuclear country in the world.
All dead Ukrainians are accounted and reported immediately, as time allows. We are doing that for last 8 years, day by day. We are outnumbered by Russians, so nobody interested in how many Russians died today, but every single dead Ukrainian soldier or civilian is a tragedy for us.
Furthermore, we don't need to keep the moral up. I was second officer at my recruit center at day 1 of war. I was promised that I will be sent to front line on next day, but on next day some soldiers are returned back, because all military units are full to top.
We need more weapons, armor, planes. We have plenty of man, who want to kill Russians, because after 8 years of war we all lost somebody we know.
