According to Magazzeni, the final body count includes 257 civilians (of them 14 children), 11 more died in Mariupol plus two staff members of Voda Donbassa company . The remaining 86 victims are the servicemen of Ukrainian army, including several dozen paratroopers and nine crew members of Ilyushin-76 who died in the recent plane crash not far from Lugansk airport.

The results prepared by the UN Special Commission in Ukraine have been presented by Gianni Magazzeni, head of the European Department of the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights.

If Russia were to invade Texas and Alaska, as Russia has invaded Ukraine, would you support a military response to secure our sovereign territory? Or would you be in favor of Putin’s boot on your face instead?

Some of you people tend not to understand English too well. Wonder why.

Inane diversion from the topic of a degenerate central government killing what it claims are its own civilians.

Thanks for playing.

When do the war crimes trials begin?


Once all the Russians terrorists are rounded up and charged. Unfortunately Putin and your other Kremlin nazis buddies will get away with their atrocities... until they meet God that is!

I am guessing he would side with Putin’s boot on our faces, as a Russian quisling. He and the other Ruskies here dream of the new Russian empire with the free people of the world under their jackboot.

Anybody who uses RT as a reliable source is not a friend of America.
