A group of 'witches' in Ukraine is all set to hold a special three-step ritual to punish and oust Russian President Vladimir Putin, reports said. Kiev-based Witch Cauldron esoteric shop has put out a statement, saying the 'witches' will perform the ritual in collaboration with their foreign partners.
“On March 31, on the 29th lunar day, the day of corruption and curses, we, the witches of Ukraine, in collaboration with foreign partners, will perform a ritual of punishing the enemy of the Ukrainian people – Vladimir Putin,” the statement said.
According to the statement, the first part of the ritual will be held at Ukraine's “place of power”, an apparent reference to the Bald Mountain outside Kiev. The second part will be held in an unspecified “Slavic country” with the help of foreign witches.
The ritual is expected to conclude with the creation of a “stone sack” for Russia’s president, who will supposedly face “isolation, ousting from power and loss of support from the inner circle,” reported Russia Today, citing UNIAN news agency.
Meanwhile, the bloody war in Ukraine has entered its second month with Russia continuing to strike and encircle urban populations, from Chernihiv and Kharkiv in the north to Mariupol in the south.
On Saturday, explosions rang out near the western city of Lviv, a destination for refugees that has been largely spared from major attacks.
When Russia unleashed its invasion February 24 in Europe's biggest offensive since World War II, a swift toppling of Ukraine's government seemed likely. But a month into the fighting, Moscow is bogged down in a grinding military campaign of attrition.
In its last update, Russia said on March 25 that its 1,351 soldiers had been killed and almost 3,825 wounded. NATO estimates, however, that between 7,000 to 15,000 Russian troops have been killed the latter figure about what Russia lost in a decade of fighting in Afghanistan.
