This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?
I took it to mean they are withholding insulin from anyone that doesn’t have Russian citizenship. Price or no price.
The article does say free insulin paid by the government. We have that in my country (Brazil), even for foreigners, but my first thought was that in the USA not even citizens get that.
Unitedstatesans minds blowing right now.

An official document has already been issued [by the Russia-appointed administration] that medicines purchased from the Russian state budget will not be issued to foreign citizens, that is, citizens of Ukraine.
All medicine free or not and randomly kidnapping kids. You have to go down some wild conspiracy rabbit holes to compare it to the US. fuck russia
What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn’t mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don’t be afraid of comparisons.
So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then universal free is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn’t?
It’s this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?
You’re right. Anyone who genuinely loves their country (whatever their nationality is) needs to be aware of their country’s flaws. You can’t help your society without acknowledging that it needs help.
My first thought was that maybe Russia was experiencing shortages due to the deteriorating economic situation in Russia but, reading the article, this feels more like a petty bureaucrat that’s upset that the occupied people of Ukraine are not cooperating as well as he wishes, so he makes passive-aggressive “punishments” of the people. This may ultimately be good for the war effort, leading to more behind-the-lines resistance movements.
This is incredibly cruel.
Putin has done so many shitty things during the war that it’s hard to rank them. This, however, is among the worst.
No, no, deliberately bombing a shelter with the word “Children” on it was the…
You know what, it’s all bad. It’s impossible to rank.
I think forceful deportation of people to Russia is worse. But that’s just my opinion.
Give Ukraine a blank check and unrestricted access to weapons (minus nukes)
The West has been doing that for the past year and a half already. It’s not like putting undertrained Ukranian pilots in F-22s against Russian SAMs will affect the outcome of the war drastically.
Ya because doing that has never back fired on us ever.
Ukraine has the right to defend it’s sovereignty. They have made it abundantly clear that their goal is restoration of it’s sovereign borders. No Russian territories will be taken. So yes, I feel very confident in allowing Ukraine unrestricted weapon access. As retaliation against NATO. Putin is more than welcome too. NATO will wipe the floor
