Is Russia committing genocide in Ukraine?

Is Russia trying to destroy the Ukrainian nation?

The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂😂

Amazing what Russian shovels and refrigrators can do aginst Abrams and Tigers.

As an American🇺🇸 I am disgusted at our cowards in Washington

Regarding intent, what about the fact that very early on in the invasion of Ukraine, the soldiers took everything out of Ukrainian museums? Seems obvious to me that they wanted
to eliminate artifacts showing that Ukraine has a history that is separate from Russia, an identity, and of course valuable objects for theft. And what about the forced Russian "education" and
suppression of Ukrainian language in the occupied areas of Ukraine?

At the time of the 2014 Russian invasion of Crimea, Ukraine was in the process of offshore natural gas development which would have threatened the stranglehold Russia had over EU Energy requirements - reserves estimated equivalent to Norway which provides 15% of EU energy needs. Those resources remain undeveloped, with western energy corporations pulling out of the threatened area. What a coincidence the invasion took out a potential competitor to Russian energy hegemony.

That is the funniest report so far- "Russia is committing genocide by massive use of guided dumb bombs totally destroying Ukranian infrastructure with remarkably low number of victims but all of these bombs are intercepted anyway"

[michaelrowsell]

Nobody is talking about how the terrorist got their guns. As the Russian are not investigating this, we can assume they got the arms from the FSB .

We should know that we are dealing with pure evils not a normal human being.

The Kremlin is desperately throwing spagetti at the wall....
Seems to be a teflon wall, since nothing has stuck yet...

[russellnixon]

I;m sure the Kremlin is blaming Ukraine for the Baltimore bridge

[DrRatweasel]

" is Russia committing genocide in Ukraine?" Really ? This is even a question .??!! Where has this news outlet been last 2 years..? FFS

[richardmarsden]

Just out of interest on here, (The Nazigraf) if the Russian military had not directly intervened in February 2022, what would have happened to the several million people in the Crimea and Donbas regions do people think? Israel-Gaza would seem to be a good pointer as to what the collective West would condone.

Ukrainian POWs and civilian prisoners are treated just as badly (ignored, for the most part, by western media). Recall that the International Red Cross has zero access to Ukrainian POWs in Russia, but has full access to Russian POWs in Ukraine.

[davidford]

Your amazing research & work is a breath of fresh clear goodness in a sea of personal on line drama 🎭 drama

[UtkinTalis]

Ukraine is desperately wants air defense, it should be given urgently to save lives and economic infrastructures, gave Ukraine to defend itself.

[MrBendylaw]

Oh wait, is this like Nordstream, where it was the U.S. first, then Britain second? That dude on Silicon Curtain was right, Russia really does freak out over the U.K and MI6!
Probably too many Bond films and too damn much propaganda. I guess the Americas are going to have to unleash Moose and Squirrel to keep up.

[Spaatz]

MI6??? Daniel Craig died in the last Bond movie. Get with the program, Vlad.

[nobbynobbs]

Why were there FSB agents present during the concert?

Roland's a legend, his knowledge of Russia and Central Asia is savage
