Illegal transmissions

This evening I heard some unfortunate transmissions on 30m. On 10.120 a station was transmitting F*** Putin repeatedly over quite a period of time. Again on 10.124 there was continuous transmission without use of callsign, there seems to be just one station who was not in communication with another station.

I have worked the band every day since 1 July, sometimes several times per day, and this was the first time I experienced this behaviour.

I've heard it too, many times bad behaviour, and until now not once have I heard it from Russians but always from Poles, Lithuanians, and pirates who are giving Ukraine a very bad name if they wish to support it they're creating the opposite effect, at least on amateur radio. It's a shame, because those of us who are older can remember the height of the cold war when we could still communicate on amateur radio across the iron curtain, exactly because politics was not allowed on amateur radio. Right now as I write, a Russian RT30RR calling CQ on 30m on 10114.5 is having his frequency deliberately QRM by at least one idiot on CW: CQ CQ DE UKRAINE etc.
