Two years of illegal war against Ukraine

-

  It is now two years that Russia tried to invade Ukraine and started an illegal war against its people. Russia has attacked hospitals, homes, destroyed the city of Mariopol, murdered the people of Bucha, attacked food storage in Odesa, destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to use it as a weapon of war... Yet Putin survives, yet the Kremlin's rule continues...  Russia invaded the neighbor country Ukraine and remains with impunity seating at the UN Security Council and other UN functions... pulling strings in the global economy...   I still have hope that the good people will win and there will be justice, but it is crazy that it is taking so long. It is not acceptable that a country illegally invades another, kills, rapes, destroys, ignores all human rights and remains with impunity... in the XXI century. The world cannot allow this, it is too barbaric!

Why caricature Putin?

Multiple caricatures of Vladimir Putin, developed since Russia began its special military operation against Ukraine

Vote on your favourite caricature

Do any of these look like Putin to you? what is your favorite caricature? did I have any success in capturing Putin's likeness? Please leave a comment to let me know.


Caricature as a weapon for peace

Putin deserves to be captured and trialed for his crimes, as do the ones that follow his orders on the ground, in the Ukrainian territory, illegally occupied by Russia. I do believe that war criminals, tyrants, and any other type of genocidal power-abusing invaders deserve to be mocked, ridiculed and otherwise publicly humiliated until they fall, not necessarily by violence, but by the loudness and undeniable-evidence and weight of their own wrong-doing. 

So for the past fifteen months since Russia invaded Ukraine I have been trying to caricature Vladimir Putin. As I am just a hobbyist aspiring artist, and can only work on this in my spare time, it has taken me this much time. Honestly, I thought this absurd war would be over before I would ever need to publish the drawings. Unfortunately, this war still goes on, unbelievable as it is. 


Many caricatures of Vladimir Putin, including failed attempts to capture his likeness, developed since Russia began its special military operation against Ukraine

Is caricaturing Putin the right thing to do?

Remember, "if Russia stops fighting it is the end of the war, if Ukraine stops fighting, it is the end of Ukraine" - this sentence is not mine, but it leaves things clear: Ukraine must defend itself against this brutal abuse, not fighting is not an option for them, only for Russia. And Russia is doing battle with Ukraine in many fronts, not just on the ground, but also in the internet in social media. 

War crimes, human rights violations, crimes against humanity

Since Russia tried to do a mass-scale invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022, through Putin's special military operation, Russia has been committing all sort of atrocities and war crimes in Ukrainian territory, including mass murder of civilians, rapping, abduction of Ukrainian children, deliberate attacks against residential buildings and health care facilities, destruction of the essential water supply system, destruction of the energy supply system in the peak of winter when there were freezing temperatures. These are not just human rights violations. This targeted action to compromise the future of the Ukrainian People also constitutes a crime against humanity, which Russia has tried to justify through its essay on Ukraine and statements on social media.

Putin, Mad or Bad?

About the designs: The first image, was inspired by a few online articles I read at the end of February /beginning of March 2022 as to whether Putin has gone mad or is simply bad. My current take is that he is both mad and bad. Version 2 is just an update of the caricature. Do you recognize him? Vote now, your opinion matters! And from these two versions, which do you like best? Participate in other design polls: Black heart

  Click on the images to enlarge them What? In this post you can find a collection of 12 anti-war caricatures, cartoons and designs drafted as a reaction to the illegal war of aggression that Russia is leading against Ukraine, and the war crimes that Russia is committing repeatedly against the people of Ukraine.  Why? To call for the ending of the mass-scale brutal violations of human rights and murdering of Ukrainian civilians that Russia has been perpetrating since the beginning of its special military operation on 24th of February, 2022. The people of Ukraine deserve freedom from these brutal aggressors and deserve justice. Bullies like Russia cannot be tolerated, they must be stopped or they will continue to do damage. Click on the image to enlarge   When? The caricatures and cartoons shown here have been developed between February 24th,  2022, when Russia  initiated its special military operation on Ukrainian territory, and July 2023.
