1. War Crimes of the Russian Military and Mercenary Groups
The head of the Sabotage Assault Reconnaissance Group (DShRG) “Rusich,” a sadist, and the Nazi Milchakov, another sadist, posted a video of a murder through decapitation of a Ukrainian prisoner of war. Filmed in the summer of 2022, it appeared with the caption: “You will be surprised how many such videos will gradually pop up.”
● Executions are the gravest war crime and clearest violation of the Geneva Conventions.
● Russian military units participating in the invasions of Ukraine have been repeatedly spotted carrying out torture and executions of prisoners of war. These are not isolated incidents, this is who the Russians are.
● The manner of filming brutal torture and executions has become the Modus Operandi of international terrorists, such as ISIS. Russia is a terrorist state, and its criminal element is no different from the militants that the civilized world opposes in the Middle East, Africa, and around the globe.
● Despite numerous documented cases of Russian war crimes, during the full-scale invasion, Russia has not conducted a single public investigation nor have they punished the militants responsible for these crimes. This is a clear indicator that these acts have been granted approval at the national level.
● The publication of horrific footage is a deliberate attempt by the Russians which to intimidate Ukrainians. This effort has failed. It has served to intensify Ukrainian perseverance.
● This occasion encapsulates the need to recognize Russia as a terrorist state and or a state sponsor of terrorism at the international level.
● Russians will not be able to provoke Ukrainian soldiers to similar atrocities Unlike the enemy, Ukrainian soldiers strictly adhere to the laws and customs of war. Russian atrocities will be answered with the full force of legal military and .judicial options
2. About the so-called “leak of secret documents.”
Documents that allegedly relate to the preparation of the Ukrainian counteroffensive were published on the Internet.
● The appearance and discussion of allegedly secret documentation about the Ukrainian counterattack is a classic Russian psyop. No one should take its content at face value.
● Experts found that the data on the losses of the Ukrainian and Russian sides in these documents were falsified. This calls into question the integrity of all other documentation.
● The purpose of this operation is to shake confidence in the success of the counterattack. The Russians are desperate to prevent the liberation of Ukrainian territories. Ukraine will be liberated.
● The real plan of the operation is determined not by these documents, but by the command and leadership of the Defence Forces of Ukraine. Only a few people know the full plans of Ukraine’s upcoming military operations against the Russian terrorists, these are the most trusted leaders of the Armed Forces, Ministry of Defense, and President Zelenskyy’s office.
● The attack on the Russian occupiers will be sudden and devastating. Leaks will not help them in any way. Nothing can help the Russian Federation now. Ukraine has already won.
3. The cost of damages to Ukraine caused by the Russian invasion
According to the Ukrainian government, Russian aggression caused Ukraine losses of 700 billion dollars.
● The Russian reason for war is the genocide of Ukrainians: the invaders are killing and deporting civilians while attempting to erase Ukrainian identity.
● Russia is deliberately provoking a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine: forcing Ukrainians to become refugees, robbing and destroying people's property, and depriving them of living their lives and in some cases, depriving them of life itself.
● Russian aggression has led to the large-scale destruction of settlements and infrastructure. Entire cities are in ruins, villages are deserted and lifeless.
● Huge areas of territory are mined, including some of the world’s most fertile farmland.
● Ukraine's economic status, in particular in international markets, has been sabotaged.
● Russia has caused enormous damage to Ukrainian culture: cultural heritage objects were destroyed and damaged, and entire collections of museum funds were stolen.
● Russian aggression harms the Ukrainian environment. They haved raped the terrain, and ravaged the animal and insect populations.
● All losses are documented and assessed. Russia will pay in full for the damage caused to Ukraine.
This is what liberation by the presidency of the UN security council means. The brutality, torture, rape ,child kidnapping and many many more crimes they have committed is why they should not be sitting on any international seats let alone allowed any votes. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦😡😡😡💙💛💙💛
Atrocity of this level is a weapon which will explode in the hands of Russia. I doubt any Ukrainian will ever surrender again, and will have one thought only in mind, take as many of the enemy with them as possible. It has reinforced the determination to win, and get to the war crimes trials, and has demonstrated to the world that this is not an enemy with whom you can negotiate, and that only total victory is possible. And total victory must prevail to prevent any other tin-pot dictator feeling that naked violence is a way to enforce will on the 'effete' western governments, since these people do not understand that willingness to negotiate is a sign of being civilised, not of being effete. And the western governments are finally waking up to the concept that there are people who are not civilised, and who prefer naked force over negotiations [well, it's only taken them 75 years since ignoring Hitler taking Czechoslovakia, but hey, you don't need the smarts to be in politics, only a voice that can shatter glass and burn paper.]
