U.S. Believes Russia Has Sent Thousands To 'Filtration Camps' In Ukraine, Says Ambassador

[davemorris]

This is an atrocity not unlike Hitlers Nazis Germany. The whole world needs to stand up to this guy

[estelleaustin]

special operation = war. filtration camp = concentration camp. Don't help Russia sanitise its actions with the language you use.

[RK-ytrk]

Yes filtration camps are true. Look at what happened under Stalin during world war 2. This is my family’s story; deportation to Siberia. It wouldn’t surprise me if they reopened this camps.

[nikkster]

we are watching a re run of the roll out of the first days of Nazi Germany 1939 I cant believe some of the following comments, what kind of people are you?

[peterbrooke]

Well if Ukraine could export the food then Russia could not steal the grain. The filtration camps are just the old system. they have not disappeared they are just relocated to the Gulag.

[penaneta]

Mica: is good to remember that Europe is not the whole world. Let's defend Africa, Latin America The Arab world, The caribean, you name it; the homeless in the USA, The student debtors etc.

[DavidJ]

Putin has made Russia even weaker, and NATO even stronger. 🤣

[universeisundernoobligatio]

When Russia invaded Poland, my grand parents and parents we told what is in your stomach is yours the rest is Russias.
My family were some of the 5 million Poles were shipped to slave labour camps in Siberia only 4 million came out.
Lost family in Siberia.
Once you get the Russians out, free people will do anything to keep Russians out.

[blueeyedwolf]

What do you think happens to those who "disappear?" They were murdered.

[lamaahruloma]

As someone who can talk about this topic a little bit more personaly I must say that Russians aren't so "good and noble" as Italian Fascists. It's much much closer to the NSDAP extermination, reeducation and working camps we had everywhere and that has North Korea.
There is some Neo-GULAG without ideology and it's for ethnic Russians that are considered "good citizens confused by the west and one day maybe will have chance for freedom. The Filtration camps is very polite Name for the types like Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Terezín, Birkenau, Dachau....nobody would call it by it's true names like Extermination/Concentration camps. Filtration sounds as better Potempkin's village.

[danburnes]

I hope all the Russian trolls in comment boards will be unemployed soon

[colindavis]

The "easy solution" is for the US and Europe to back off with sanctions, Putin has already stated he'd be more than willing to negotiate along these lines, the West has to give if they want to improve circumstances...!!!

[lindalauer]

And, You don't think the Ukraine military noticed Any people going to possible facilities like this sooner then this ?

[Gofast]

stop growing food for animals and start growing it for people and it wouldnt be a problem

[dominicdmello]

US should divert some of the corn they use for ethanol production towards food supplies. As it is the ethanol production has pushed up corn prices in Africa where it's the staple diet for most.

[lamaahruloma]

In 1968 Soviets automatically "dissapeared" many thousands or even more people. We heard rumours of mass graves, Gulaks, prisons, far far East of Siberia. They killed officially in Prague people only in smaller numbers about thousands - even own. But Rusyn and Slovak people just dissapeared forever. It started from the while the first Soviet trains came to Czechoslovakia. There are substantiated rumours about the same from Poland and other countries after WW2 and events like in Hungary as from Germany. This is a classic move by Moscow. But where are Our people? Our means everyone that was captured by Russians and Soviets. We know
that our soldiers, volunteers from many countries, were found in mass graves.
How many British, Czech, Austrian, Swedish, Slovak, American, Australien, Polish and other our people died, were dissapeared or are in some Death Camp in Russia?
I had majority of older relatives killed or tortured by another madman in the old country.

[joshuapaul]

More than 2000 fighters from elite Nazi Ukrainian units are going to surrender in Mariupol. 1500 surrendered there before this instance. 16500 Ukrainian fighters were killed only in and around this town.

[shdmd]

We have crashing economy, record gas prices and inflation, stock market crashing, how about we worry less about Ukraine and more about Americans?

[kirstymiller]

My God. Don't stand by this time world. Camps...this has to end now. Camps are not OK. Oh wait, you watch on as China does the same. Talk is cheap 😪

[markduncan]

We need to significantly cut back on the amount of food that we grow to feed to our other food.
