“I understand that 180 soldiers of Ukraine’s 72 brigade”
UPDATE: They are being listed as deserters, and sent to the penal battalion.
Well I wouldn’t go so far as saying that....but yes, it’s a good thing to know all sides....glad you can appreciate that being fully informed creates an environment to discern the times and seasons we are now living....it’s important to have that understanding.
Well then Kiev's saying they simply were out of ammunition wasn't so, or at best sufficient to excuse them of this Military offense, otherwise there would be no punishment.
I am of the mind they trusted Russia over that of the situation they found themselves in.....easier to go there then to the hands of some of the militia’s there who kill everyone regardless of which side.
.......“humanitarian concerns” on their part is just pure BS”....
No, everybody who is informed knows this is a humanitarian crisis in the East....doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that. All sides realize this.
...”Shades of the days of Stalin”.....
You aren’t the first mentioning this...some journalists and various authors are saying Kiev is behaving more like the USSR then Russia!
I believe that to be true as well...from forcing their military to fight upon threat of death, and some were killed by Kiev’s militia’s for not fighting. To how they shut down information called on by national leaders...Kiev is good at denying what they have.
Ukraine doesn’t care either way as long as they can continue with their shelling and bombing.......the evidence supports this, International Groups have claimed what Kiev is doing is wrong, and those informed have known for sometime that this isn’t about Ukraine citizens wanting freedom. That was history the day Maidan agreed to allow thugs to determine their course in their revolution.
That’s not true and you know it —
....”They’re sowing the seeds of a long, long, violent problem for their selves”......
Yes they are....as with Russia people sometimes don’t get it that certain nations need to have a stronger arm than others to keep the nature of certain violent groups and participants in hand. While at the same time attempt to bring the newer generations up to par with the rest of the world in their behavior and how they live.......Ukraine isn’t ready to be a civil nation just because it’s leaders want to make it so. It takes the people and they simply aren’t ready yet.
