Russia - threadbanned users in OP

They're not getting anywhere near Kyiv again, those tanks are sunk and well out of fuel.

The people surrendered and did not re-engage. They were executed when someone else attacked or at least so the interviewee seemed to think.

Who knows. Hopefully they'll stop killing each other.

Ukraine, the second most corrupt country in Europe, which recently fired missiles into Poland but blamed it on Russia is hitting back at Ursula.

I don't think there's any point posting here. Obviously to most sane people an end to a war that has taken 100,000 Ukrainian lives would be a good thing? Not here it seems.

Yes, they are literally like lambs to the slaughter.. the only hope they would have is if they were in a deep enough trench, and they could dig a recess into its walls, so at least the heat sensing cameras would not pick them up. But frozen ground and lack of digging implements means that's practically impossible. Even hiding in the building did not save them. They're in a very bad place. Pity Solovyuv and Margarita could not be kidnapped and brought there.

They re-engaged when shot at by an enemy combatant, it's a fairly simple rule of war concept that you don't seem to be getting, however, we can leave it there as it's clear you either can't or won't understand this and will likely continue playing dumb and quoting conspiracy theorists.

You've been challenged before on what the realistic terms for ending russia's "special operation" look like, have you anything to add to that? Do you think the best thing is for russia to leave Ukraine? Russia can then follow the international norms of seeking a UN peacekeeping mission if it has any issues in the Donbas and Luhansk regions, the number of russians dying will be much much less than if they continue on their current suicidal path.

(Again, pure whataboutery and winding up on your part, hopefully you realise this when you look in a mirror and a soulless automaton looks back as you).

You are right, there is no point you posting here, and certainly not when you post 3 outright lies in one post, as you just did. Ciao.

“Annexation of Ukrainian territories is illegal and a threat to human rights, say OSCE human rights Director and OSCE media freedom Representative”

There's only one person/country keeping this going.

Read what I wrote again, I never said the Ukrainians should do to the Russians what the Russians are currently doing to them. What I DID SAY is that I doubt many Ukrainians who are under bombardment from russia would be in any way upset if the same was meted out onto their civilian counterparts in russia.

Trying to uphold the moral high ground is very hard when you're ducking for cover from incoming ordinance Id imagine.

I'll be blunt, I for one couldn't care less about keeping the moral high ground.

If I were in Ukraine as a civilian, before the war, I'm pretty sure I would not intentionally wish any bad on Russian civilians per say, BUT when I would have seen their dismissiveness, their indifference to my suffering at their leaders hands, seen family members shot, tortured or raped and see still see the main overtone in Russian civilian society range from indifference to others wanting to "Drive a stake through Kyiv"..THEN I would, as a civilian wish equal or more retribution against those people.

On the other hand, If I was a Ukrainian serving in the military, being bombarded day in day out, having friends and fellow soldiers killed alongside me in trenches and also seeing what the Russians were doing by bombing the cities we came from, I make no bones about it, and I couldn't give a single f**k what you think of my position, but I would have zero hesitation in meting out as much barbarism, pain and cruelty to any Russian soldier I came upon, I would have ZERO mercy on any of them and would ensure, till my last breath that I killed and maimed as many of them as was possible.

I'm pretty sure most, if not all serving military in Ukraine would now at this stage, be of a similar mindset as myself.

Its war, its dirty, its messy and while it lasts, it reduces normally civilized people back to living on basic instincts...kill or be killed. Thats the sad reality of it.

Now you can come back and say how terrible it all is, but it's very easy for you to pontificate about how Ukrainians shouldn't put themselves on the same level as the Russian scum but imagine living nearly 10 months in the Ukrainians shoes and imagine then, in all honesty whether your moral high ground would be that important to you.

So that's my "real opinion" on it all, I don't hide it from you or anyone else, why would I? I couldn't care less what you think of my opinion, you are nobody and nothing to me.

Strange isn't it, how interested you are in those reports, yet weeks later still can't bring yourself to understand the basics of the Budapest agreement and what's going on.

Very easy to be 'lost' when you want to be 'lost'.

Donbas is part of Ukraine. They were shelling it because Russian backed separatists were there, armed and holding the territory - in violation of the treaty supposed to establish the ceasefire.

Prior to the war? That was part of the war.

The war that started when Russia, in clear violation of the Budapest agreement, attempted to undermine Ukrainian sovereignty and invaded it.

"Officers" likely refers to all soldiers and is just lost in translation. However many here also dispute the 100k dead + wounded as if the head of EU is totally uninformed on the matter.

She also gave a separate figure for civilians (20k) in that interview.

Regardless of how well informed she was. I doubt either side has accurate numbers. Often decades after a conflict they are still inaccurate.

The information is not required to see how brutal this war is.
