No surprise, Russian soldiers executing surrendered Ukraine prisoners, again.

Execution of Oleksandr Matsievskyi

“Gonzalo Lira was not available for comment.”

Sorry, should have added some context: Gonzalo Lira was an American reporter who was killed by the Ukrainian government (perhaps under orders of the US government) for reporting on ‘inconvenient facts’ regarding the Ukraine War.

I just knew it. Ukraine loses and starts screaming war crimes.

They would be better off doing a deep dive into their leadership and corrupt politicians who are sending them to die for personal profit.

It's as predictable as the rising sun. They're out in force this morning. I hope they get Holiday pay.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia produces that bunch. Interesting that the Ukrainians didn’t feel they were worth taking back as they withdrew from Avdiivka - kind of reminds me of how a country treated its infirmed 90 or so years ago.

Like handing out speeding tickets at the Indi 500.

I guess the Ukies shooting down the Ukie prisoner of war plane ( most likely with US weapons) has no bearing. War has been war for centuries, no changing that.
That said, the good news is Avidivka fell, effectively stopping the shelling of Donetsk, which has occurred since 2014. Lots of celebrations for the ethnic Russian provinces….on to the Dniepner!

Noooo....he was providing intelligence information to the Muscovites and doxxing other journalists and Ukrainian military personnel so that they could be targeted and killed by FSB/GRU. He got caught jumping bail and died of pneumonia.

You might want to get your facts straight, Bob.

Maybe they will also investigate who ordered the bombing of civilians in that area, going back to 2014. But probably not.

I’m sure you have links for that claim...

You seriously make that claim when the treatment of Russian wounded by their own is well documented
There are several stories of Ukranians taking serious losses attempting to recover their dead and wounded.
Not being able to retrieve wounded is one thing, leaving your dead and wounded to rot in the field as is also well documented Russian trait is another

——Avidivka fell-—

After untold thousands of Russian fodder died in the effort along with an uncounted excess of tanks and APC’s.

Meanwhile, Russian refineries burn, the Black Sea Fleet is incapacitated, russian HQ in Crimea is destroyed along with the commander and his staff, Russian air dares not fly and their planes are being destroyed not only in the air but on the ground.

Russian arms have been shown to be inferior and this major source of jobs for exports is gone. Oil and gas sales are seriously diminished. There is no domestic Russian auto production because of sanctions. Mercedes cars are stalled for lack of spare parts. Vodka is returning as the only solace for the loss of the life that is no longer possible.

Not to worry though..... there are thousands of mothballed T 55 tanks being readied for battle

It’s early in the US, why are you blitzed? I guess it’s late afternoon in Europe now, though.

LOL, as if Putin would take down his own plane and crew when he could have simply given him the ‘Epstein Treatment”.

Equally worthless comment, but you are right he could have just had him fall out a window, must have been another smoking accident
