Let me explain to you how I've been affected personally. Exhibit one shows an email I received from a tutoring platform. I had been teaching on the platform for some time before the platform chose to unequivocally punish me for my place of residence. This move was directly supported by the United States.

Exhibit two shows my Twitch ban. Even before the ban, Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms demonetized all content creators living in Russia. Streaming and making content was one of the ways I was putting bread on my table. Naturally, I started speaking out against it and calling out the nonsense in Western mainstream media. I mentioned one thing about the bio labs in Ukraine and I was banned for it. The Feds did the same thing over the Hunter Biden laptop story, and that also ended up being true. The Feds directly contributed to this.

Exhibit three shows a message I received from a manager at a company that I had been working with for many years. The company was in the business of importing high-end goods from Europe. After the sanctions took effect, they were unable to bring in the products that their business had relied on. They had to let go a lot of staff and end their English language training program. The sanctions were imposed by the U.S. federal government.

With these actions, the U.S. federal government attempted to take bread out of my child's mouth. It took me months of hard work to get my income back up to where it was. I have been breaking records in revenue lately, and I can say the same thing about my fellow Russians. The plans of the enemy have utterly failed.

Despite the fact that I have bounced back, I believe that it would be appropriate if the West were to offer reparations or some kind of compensation for its crimes. Every single Russian citizen living in Russia is owed payment for what they have done. Russia needs to show a very strong response to "encourage" the West to make amends in the form of reparations.
