HE WAS IN LOVE WITH UKRAINE... BROCK TENNANT GREENWOOD — Forever 24... Brock Tennant Greenwood was born on March 5, 2000, in Harvey Bay, Queensland, Australia. From an early age, he was fascinated by Ukraine and its history, particularly the Chernobyl disaster, despite having no Ukrainian ancestry. When he learned about the war in Ukraine, he made the decision to volunteer and arrived in Ukraine in March 2023, leaving behind one of the safest countries in the world because he deeply wanted to help. Upon arriving, Brock immediately joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine and served in the Second International Legion. His British commander later recalled that for more than a year he served across Ukraine, carrying out reconnaissance and sabotage missions in the north and participating in trench warfare in the Donbas. Brock was awarded the Volunteer Cross “Honor and Glory.” In June 2024, he became the leader of the international Thorne Assault Group. In May 2024, Brock visited the city of Nadvirna in the Ivano-Frankivsk region at the invitation of his girlfriend, a local resident. It was his final leave, spent with hopes of returning there again. “I was very proud of him and happy that he accepted my invitation to celebrate Easter with my family. He loved our town and said he would like to live in such a neat, small place near the mountains. Brock truly loved our Carpathians,” his girlfriend recalled. On July 5, 2024, while carrying out a difficult combat mission, Brock was the last to leave his position in order to ensure the safety of his comrades. He was killed by artillery fire in the Kreminna forests of the Luhansk region. His foreign brothers-in-arms made every effort to recover his body from the battlefield. A farewell ceremony was held on July 17 in Kyiv at Baikove Cemetery. Many foreign soldiers attended, along with Australian chaplain Sean Matheson. Vasyl Myroshnychenko expressed condolences to Brock’s family. Following the ceremony, Brock was cremated, and his ashes were sent to his family in Australia, where they were laid to rest on August 23, 2024. The sacrifice and heroism of those who gave their lives defending Ukraine will never be forgotten. Let us bow our heads in remembrance. 🇺🇦🕯️

"THE LAWS OF HUMANITY" In 1940, in the midst of World War II, Italian submarine commander Salvatore Todaro made a decision that is still regarded as one of the most humane acts in the history of naval warfare. While on combat patrol in the Atlantic Ocean, his submarine, Comandante Cappellini, sank the Belgian merchant ship Kabalo. According to the laws of war, everything should have ended there. The submarine was expected to dive immediately and leave the area. Remaining on the surface meant risking the lives of the crew and jeopardizing the entire mission. But Todaro saw something else. Among the wreckage in the cold ocean were people fighting for their lives. Sailors. Shipwreck survivors. Men with little chance of being rescued in time. He did what no one expected. He ordered the submarine to surface and take as many survivors aboard as possible. There was not enough room for everyone, so some had to remain in a lifeboat. Then Todaro went even further: he ordered the lifeboat to be tied to the submarine and began towing it toward a safe shore. For several days, the submarine traveled almost defenseless — slowly, on the surface, constantly risking detection and attack. Crew members reminded their commander that he was endangering the entire operation for the sake of men who had been the enemy only hours earlier. Todaro's reply became legendary: "They are not enemies now. They are sailors." After delivering the survivors safely and handing them over to local authorities, the submarine resumed its military mission. More than 80 years have passed. Countries, borders, and wars have changed. Yet this story reminds us of something important: even in the darkest times, a person remains human. Sometimes a single act speaks of true greatness far more than any victory on the battlefield. For there are the laws of war. And then there are the laws of humanity. And it is those that are remembered the longest.

🇺🇸🇫🇮“It was humiliating”: during NATO Arctic exercises, Finns were asked to “go easy” on U.S. troops to avoid demoralizing them. During the NATO Joint Viking exercise in northern Norway in March 2025, U.S. forces encountered serious difficulties operating in Arctic conditions, prompting exercise leaders to intervene. According to The Times, Finnish reservists playing the role of NATO’s opposing force so thoroughly outperformed the Americans in mobility and endurance that organizers asked them to “hold back.” “Finns were instructed to stop humiliating the Americans and to be more lenient toward them, as it was proving humiliating and had a demoralizing effect on U.S. troops,” a source told the newspaper. The source added that the exercise exposed a significant training gap: Scandinavian and British forces currently lead in Arctic warfare, while the United States is lagging behind.

🇫🇮💪He killed more than 500 Soviet invaders in less than 100 days — without using a telescopic sight. Then he went home and lived so quietly that the world almost forgot him. Simo Häyhä was a small farmer from rural Finland. His hands knew the plow better than the rifle. Neighbors knew him as a hunter, a hardworking man, a quiet and reserved person. Nothing legendary. Until November 30, 1939. That was the day the Soviet Union invaded Finland. Half a million Soviet troops against a much smaller Finnish army. Overwhelming superiority in numbers, artillery, tanks, and resources. But they failed to account for winter. And for the men who knew how to survive in it. To the Soviet soldiers, Simo became known as: “The White Death.” Dressed entirely in white camouflage, enduring temperatures below -40°C, he lay motionless in the snow for hours. He packed snow beneath his rifle barrel so the shot wouldn’t kick up powder. He kept snow in his mouth so his breath would not reveal his position in the freezing air. And most importantly — he refused to use a sniper scope. Only iron sights. Because a lens could reflect sunlight. Because optics fogged in the cold. Because scopes forced a sniper to raise his head slightly higher. He trusted the eyes that had spent a lifetime reading forests. During the Winter War, he achieved 542 confirmed kills according to Finnish records — eliminating Soviet soldiers who came onto his land. All in less than three months. Soviet troops feared even hearing his nickname. Special units hunted him. Forests were shelled and bombed in attempts to kill him. He became a ghost. On March 6, 1940, an explosive bullet shattered his jaw. He was carried from the battlefield barely alive. A week later, he woke up. The war had already ended. Finland had survived. And then Simo Häyhä did something that made him truly extraordinary. He simply went home. No memoirs. No fame tours. No endless interviews. He returned to being a farmer. He hunted moose. He lived quietly until the age of 96. Decades later, when journalists asked him how he felt about the hundreds of men he had killed, he answered with a single sentence: “I did what I had to do. And I did it as well as I could.” No theatrics. No excuses. No self-glorification.

🇫🇮💪🧐He killed 542 men in 100 days without ever looking through a scope. Then he disappeared back into an ordinary life — so ordinary that the world nearly forgot he had ever existed. Simo Häyhä was small in stature — five foot three — stocky and quiet. His hands were calloused from farm tools, not polished by ceremonial sabers. In the rural southeast of Finland, near the village of Rautjärvi, he was known as a dependable neighbor. He hunted. He farmed. He kept to himself. Nothing about him suggested legend. Then came November 30, 1939. The Soviet Union invaded Finland, beginning what would later be known as the Winter War. Moscow expected a swift campaign. The Red Army brought roughly half a million soldiers, along with tanks, aircraft, and artillery. They outnumbered Finnish forces by nearly three to one. On paper, it looked less like a war and more like an inevitability. But snow does not follow paper calculations. That winter was merciless. Temperatures dropped to minus 40 degrees. Engines froze. Metal stuck to bare skin. Forests swallowed sound. The Finns knew the terrain the way farmers know their fields and hunters know animal tracks. Simo Häyhä was one of those men. He had grown up skiing through those forests, reading wind and shadow, standing motionless until game appeared. When he joined the Finnish Army, he did not transform into something new. He simply applied the skills he had built over years to a different purpose. Dressed head to toe in white, he vanished into the snowfields. He packed snow in front of his rifle barrel so the muzzle blast would not kick up powder and reveal his position. He held snow in his mouth to cool his breath, reducing the visible vapor that could give him away in the cold air. He lay still for hours, sometimes entire days, letting the forest settle around him. He did not stalk. He waited. What made him especially dangerous was a choice most snipers would consider illogical. He refused to use a telescopic sight. While others relied on scopes, Häyhä used only iron sights — the simplest aiming system available. He believed a scope could reflect sunlight like a signal mirror. It required lifting the head slightly higher, increasing visibility. In extreme cold, lenses could fog or freeze. Iron sights were lower, sturdier, and more reliable. He trusted his rifle and his eyes. In fewer than 100 days of combat, he recorded more than 500 confirmed kills with his rifle. Some estimates place the number at 542. That figure does not include additional enemy soldiers he killed with a submachine gun in close combat. Five hundred men. In forests locked in ice. In a war his country was not expected to survive. The Soviets gave him a name: the White Death. White Death. Sniper teams were dispatched to hunt him. Entire units were tasked with finding one farmer in a white jacket. Artillery shelled forests where scouts believed he might be hiding. Officers warned soldiers against careless movement across open ground. The idea that one man could inflict such damage deeply unsettled them. He was no longer just a sniper. He became winter with a trigger. On March 6, 1940, a Soviet explosive bullet — designed to maximize damage — struck him in the face. It shattered his jaw, tore through his cheek, and disfigured the left side of his face. Comrades found him unconscious, barely recognizable, and carried him from the battlefield, assuming he would not survive. He fell into a coma. Seven days later, he opened his eyes. The day he regained consciousness was the day the war ended. Despite overwhelming odds, Finland endured. The country lost territory but retained its independence. Häyhä, disfigured and permanently changed, survived the conflict that turned him into a myth. Then he did something almost no one expected. He went home. No book deals. No speeches about heroism. No attempt to turn reputation into money. He returned to Rautjärvi, to fields and forests.

The Wall Street Journal writes that during joint NATO–Ukraine exercises, a British brigade and an Estonian division advanced against a Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade and were swiftly crushed, after which NATO forces were no longer able to resist. They just forgot to tell the Ukrainian Armed Forces to surrender beforehand — like during the Finnish–American exercises, where the Finns were reportedly asked to hold back so the Americans wouldn’t embarrass themselves 😅
