The British newspaper highlighted multiple examples of individuals — civilians with backgrounds such as chicken farm security guard and alleged pedophile — currently in Ukrainian custody and facing prosecution for aiding the Russian invasion. Those cases, where some form of legal process appears to be in place, contrast significantly with Gerashchenko’s insistence that Ukrainian law does not protect collaborators and that the government is actively encouraging extrajudicial killings.
Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2014, colonizing its Crimean peninsula with little interest from then-President Barack Obama or the greater West. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin expanded what became an eight-year-old war in the Ukrainian Donbas region, which borders Russia, this February, announcing a “special operation” to eradicate alleged “Nazism” . . . . . . .
The Daily Mail highlighted the harrowing situation in Balakliya, eastern Ukraine, where the reported discovery of a Russian torture chamber at a local police station following the ouster of Russian forces has prompted civilian outrage and retaliation. Russian occupiers spent about six months running Balakliya; Zelensky announced the full liberation of the town on September 8, according to Ukrainian state media outlet Ukrinform.
The newspaper claimed that Ukrainian officials are compiling lists of alleged collaborators and quoted the Interior Ministry official as stating that a “hunt” was on to kill them.
“A hunt has been declared on collaborators and their life is not protected by law,” the Daily Mail quoted Gerashchenko as saying. “Our intelligence services are eliminating them, shooting them like pigs.”

Sounds like the Ukraine is getting back to normal.
What open and free democracies do!
They are hunting down and murdering anyone they suspect are Russian sympathizers or of Russian nationality. This is the sort of thing you might expect when dealing with a backward people. The Nazi stuff they embraced should have been a clue.
In the early days of the Soviet Union, Lenin, and then Stalin, also hunted down “anti-Social(ism) elements”, and WESTERN APOLOGISTS, led by Pulitzer Prize winner NY Times Reporter Walter Duranty said that was just fine (or something close).
Some things never change.
Now on to show trials in Kiev...
BARBARIANS.
I did Nazi this coming...
But they are NOT Nazi fascists.
They just like to kill people.
It is not terrorism when the ‘good’ guys are doing it. It is not genocide when the wrong’ people are killed. And yes, there are ‘good’ Nazis either.
More like the Free French hunting down and killing Nazi collaborators when the tide of that fascist invasion reversed.
Hmmm. Where are the ghouls? They are usually in by now explaining why this stuff is ok.
They have arrived.
I believe this as much as anything else involving Ukraine…which is to say with a BIG grain of salt.
I’m willing to bet few if any of those being killed are actual “collaborators”, they are merely people of Russian background or Russian speakers being hunted down by the likes of Azov battalion or Right Secktor.
If part of the US had been occupied in WWII, the locals wouldn’t have waited for the authorities before decorating the lampposts with collaborators.
Our CIA, and people like John McCain and Victoria Nuland empowered the most fringe and radical political elements in Ukraine when they promoted the 2014 Maidan Coup with a collection of neo-nazi and extreme western Ukraine nationalist groups called “Right Sektor.” We destroyed the political middle.
The Right Sektor disbanded in 2014, and its various groups went on to form Azov Brigades and led the war against the Donbas.
Zelensky tried to reign them in and implement the Minsk Accords, but they threatened even him with assassination.
THIS is who is in charge in Ukraine now.
That would a big job since a majority of the population in the East are Russian speakers.
Strangely, they aren't leaving ahead of the Russian army as it retreats the way German civilians did before the Red Army.

In 1950 this was the ending scene of communist Chinese plan to conquer Taiwan, all communist agents, double agent pro communists, oh yeah, KILL THEM ALL!
I’m not going to go back and forth with a Nazi apologist like yourself, suffice to say most of us are aware of what is really going on over there.
