A Ukrainian court has sentenced a 21-year-old Russian soldier to life in prison for killing a Ukrainian civilian.


-------------------

The world is documenting Putin's crimes, and the bad guys are going to be held accountable.

A Russian soldier was sentenced for war crimes and many more will follow.

Salute,

Ah yes, war crimes.
If only someone had put a bullet in the unarmed WW1 German soldier Adolf Hitler.

A 20 year veteran of Russias diplomatic service announced his resignation Monday in protest of his countrys  war on Ukraine, multiple media outlets reported. 

In a rare public protest by a Russian official, Boris Bondarev, a diplomat posted to Russias  mission to the United Nations in Geneva, posted a statement on a LinkedIn account condemning Russia  invasion of Ukraine and criticizing the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for complicity in what he described as an an  aggressive war  language that is proscribed in Russia under wartime censorship laws.

 For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year, Bondarev wrote, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine.  The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia, with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country.

I keep hearing that "Ukraine is winning the war".
Then on tv I see Mariupol in ruins and POWs being driven away.

Ukraine is a big country, bambu, and their men have not been tenderized and emasculated by a lifetime diet of Fox News.

Ukrainians are still fighting while more and more Russian soldiers refuse.

Considering this was supposed to be over in 3 days and now we are 3 months down the road so I guess it cannot be said Russia is winning.

Why would Russian soldiers want to fight in this stoopid war of Putin's?
Defending the Russian homeland from invasion by the Nazis was one thing...this war is totally different.

Russia wants to blame the West for the food crisis, because of course their war has nothing to do with it.
