According to reports, Russian forces killed all males aged 18-60 in the city of Bucha, northwest of Kyiv. “All men who were and young and healthy were shot.” This is genocide.

Said to be verified.

Back to the days of Hitler and genocide. Then we have China. What the hell is wrong with the human race.

new details have emerged of how Russian soldiers have forcibly removed tens of thousands of Ukrainians from occupied areas and sent them to “filtration camps” for intense interrogation before shipping them off to various cities around Russia, according to multiple reports.

The filtration camps, described as large plots of military tents with rows of men in uniforms, are where deported Ukrainians are photographed, fingerprinted, forced to turn over their cellphones, passwords and identity documents, and then questioned by officers for hours before being sent to Russia. A satellite image captured by the U.S.-based Maxar Technologies last week offered the first glimpse of one camp in the Russian-controlled village of Bezimenne, giving a peek into how Russians are processing Ukrainians and attempting to strip them of their identities. Ukrainian officials say more than 40,000 people have been forced into Russia against their will since last month.

Putin calls Ukraine Nazi yet his military is doing those very things.

Much like the Republicans call others out for actions they themself are actually doing.

And the stupid in the world believe the lies.

Russia denies responsibility for missile that killed dozens of Ukrainians at train station

Russia actually at first said they attacked a military target there, then they denied they actually did anything, then claimed Ukraine did it.

Denies.

No wonder Trump love Putin and Russia, they think alike.

Putin's War in Ukraine Shatters an Illusion in Russia

Now the bargain is broken, the illusion has shattered. And the country has been pitched into a new phase. But what is it? Yudin argues that Russia is moving out of authoritarianism — where political passivity and civic disengagement are key features — into totalitarianism, which relies on mass mobilization, terror and homogeneity of beliefs. He believes Putin is on the brink but may hesitate to make the shift.

“In a totalitarian system, you have to release free energy to start terror,” he said. Putin, he said, “is a control freak, used to micromanagement.”

However, if the Russian state starts to fail, either through a collapse of Russia’s economy or a complete military defeat in Ukraine, “unleashing terror will be the only way for him to save himself.”

Which is why the current situation is so dangerous, for Ukraine and for people in Russia opposed Putin.

“Putin is so convinced that he cannot afford to lose that he will escalate,” Yudin said. “He has staked everything on it.”

Why white evangelical Christians are Putin's biggest American fan base

Doesn't say something good for religion.

Looks like they are past that "shall not kill" part. Guess for personal gain makes it OK.

May 5 (UPI) -- A 15-year-old volunteer was killed in Russian shelling at the Feldman Ecopark zoo in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Thursday as rescuers worked to evacuate animals.

Dennis Selevina died 30 minutes after arriving at a local hospital after the Russians shelled the zoo.

Oleksandr Feldman, Ukrainian MP, delivered the news of the boy's death on Facebook.

According to Ukraine media outlet Ukrinform, Russian troops have nearly destroyed the facility.

Efforts to move the animals to safety have been going on for weeks. At least five employees have died in the invasion, along with 100 animals.

Feldman Ecopark said in a statement that a team of employees and volunteers came under fire from the Russians as they worked Thursday to evacuate animals.

Two people were also seriously injured in the shelling.

WTF, over. This just proves that the Russians are evil.

A Russian soldier who was in Bucha during the executions was identified because he spray-painted his Instagram handle in a civilian's home

One soldier was identified because his social media handle, Wolf_68, was spray-painted inside a home.

Reporters from Reuters spent weeks in Bucha, Ukraine, after Russian forces completed their retreat from the areas around Kyiv last month. They discovered the handle "Wolf_68" inside a home that a Bucha resident said had been occupied by a group of Russian soldiers.

Kirill Kryuchkov was identified using the handle, which the outlet said he used variations of on his social media accounts. Kryuchkov, who is from Pskov, Russia, posted videos on Instagram that showed Russian soldiers in a bar drinking beer and smoking hookah on April 19.
