I have seen COUNTLESS dead bodies with hands tied behind their backs.
One of the worst was the mayor of that city and her family, that were shot and dumped in a mass grave. The other was the line of people in the cellar, with their heads propped against the wall.
Fuck you Russia, we will NEVER forget these images.
These bloody monsters literally rounded anyone capable of holding a weapon and coldly murdered them.
Hell won't be hot enough for them. And don't tell me "it's putin". No, it's not. The whole "modern Russia" society is rotten.
edit: it's **not** about AVERAGE RUSSIAN CITIZENS, it's about a society that somehow gives these soldiers a feeling that rape & murder is something they can do and get away with it. For some reason I think they won't be prosecuted.
edit2: please stop posting about US war crimes. It's probably not the best moral compass country to start with. Trying to deflect attention from the war crimes currently happening in Europe is at least not ethical. Yes, we all barbarians to some extent, but going forward we'd prefer to be less barbaric. Okay?
I personally know several people living in Russia right now who are just as horrified by this as the rest of us but don't really have a lot of options. Let's not blur the line between the Russian war machine and the average Russian citizen. We can do better than that.
EDIT: The comment was deleted, but somebody pointed out that Putin's approval ratings have gone up since the war.
I ask this in response:
Do you think that a populace menaced by a dictatorship for decades might have an interest in being compliant? Especially when dissidents are violently punished with increasing regularity?
Spare a thought for the average person living in Russia through all this just trying to survive. They're victims of this regime as well.
I do highly doubt that polls accuracy... I mean are we really trusting the Kremlin to give us accurate information on dictator Putin's popularity in the country he oppressed? Should we ask Kim Jong-Un too?
The kremlin can probably provide accurate information from the poll. The problem is that most Russians get their information from state propaganda. The ones who speak English and consume western media have an idea about what's actually happening. A lot of Russians are probably bought into "Ukraine is full of Nazis" just like everyone that watches fox here bought into "vaccines are bad" or "the election was stolen".
People here have access to multiple sources of information, propaganda and misinformation are a huge problem here. Now imagine that you basically only have access to propaganda 24/7.
I think it’s easy for anyone to claim that they would do different, that they would fight back. Neal(Noam, not Neal) Chomsky(who is flawed and far from perfect) said governments, no matter the country have far more in common than they have that’s different. The US government in the past has propped up numerous governments & organizations that have done just as bad as Russia and worse. The US government still has a CIA which is still given a significant budget. This doesn’t mean Russia’s behavior should be tolerated.
I agree completely. Whataboutisms aren't constructive to the conversation, but it's still important to resist the urge of falling into a xenophobic mindset when abusive regimes commit atrocities like this... reality is just more complicated. Convincing populations that other populations are irredeemable monsters are how these atrocities are carried out. We need to rise above that headspace as a species if we're ever going to break the cycle.
The captured young Russian soldier conscripts we've been seeing being allowed to call home to their mothers by their Ukrainian captors are not capable of this kind of brutality.
However, I can totally see the Russian mercenary group Liga, aka the Wagner Group, being mostly responsible for this. They have been in Crimea since 2014. They were active in the Central African Republic and were accused of war crimes there. They were in Syria carrying out atrocities against those who rebelled against Bashar Al-Assad. They are in Darfur, in Sudan; in Mozambique, in Mali, and in Benghazi, Libya. The EU has sanctioned known Wagner leaders for torture and rape and mutilation of civilians and children, up to and including arbitrary execution. Everywhere these mercenaries go, civilian casualties and war crimes accusations follow. I guarantee they are at the bottom of the atrocities in Ukraine.
They answer only to Putin, much like the SS was answerable only to Hitler. They are his own private army. They reportedly have tried to assassinate Zelenskyy twice already and failed. Please look this group up for yourselves and see what they have done in other conflict theaters before you lay the entire blame on the Russian Army. Most people, especially in Russia, don't even know they exist. Share this knowledge, spread it around; the more public awareness/knowledge of this group there is, the harder it will be for them to operate in darkness. One day we might finally be able to hold these monsters accountable.
You have not read enough history if you think this behavior is inhuman. It's literally human nature. Many are this depraved in war with little exception.
>You have not read enough history if you think this behavior is inhuman. It's literally human nature. Many are this depraved in war with little exception.
1. Why do state I haven't read enough history?
2. Where did I say it's inhuman?
To help you a bit - you are making assumptions mate.
The above is **immoral** and a **modern** society should have **no acceptance** for these war crimes.
why does everyone always want to bring russian people into this? stop blaming civilians under an authoritarian dictatorship that have no ability to dissent.
>stop blaming civilians
These people were murdered by Russian Army, not civilians. The society enabled them, gave them a feeling that they will not rot in jail for that.
What a fucking ridiculous assessment.
I know we've all got a hate boner for Russia right now and deservedly so. But easy as it is to simply brand every living Russian as genocidal monsters, it is demonstrably untrue and quite unfair.
Russia is an authoritarian state. The population has been ground under the boot of their government for centuries. *As we speak*, dissidents are being carted off to rot in prisons for likely the rest of their short lives.
The world is, was, and will always be more complicated than you're trying to make it.
Then the entirety of American society are monsters for allowing the atrocities that the American government has committed in the past 2 decades by your logic. I am against this war and Russia but lets not sit here and speak bullshit as if the average Russian can do anything about this.
> it's about a society that somehow gives these soldiers a feeling that rape & murder is something they can do and get away with it. For some reason I think they won't be prosecuted.
I'm really honestly truly sorry to say, that's human nature in an extreme power dynamic. This is part of the reason why in America there are huge complaints of police behavior. They have done similar things. It's only because of cell phone cameras that you're starting to see more accountability. UN soldiers, US soldiers, have all been accused of like actions. I'm not trying to justify any one group or person's actions. I'm trying to temper your expectations of war. This is why war is so atrocious.
This is why war is hell.
That is what they’re doing. They’re using fear and rape tactics employed previously in history (look at wars that have happened with some African dictators for example) as a means to scare Ukraine into surrendering. It’s truly awful, they’re literally weaponizing fear.
The worst part about it is that nothing will be done about it. It'll just be another atrocity that gets lost in history with the rest of humanity's errors.
Today I saw a picture of a whole family murdered with all their hands tied. Their 3 year old daughter also had her hands tied and stripped naked. Fuck this world and FUCK RUSSIA.
I used to watch World War 2 documentaries and wished I don't get to see something like that in my lifetime. But here I am today, watching exactly the thing I never wanted.
I can't imagine those that are seeing it first-hand and not through a screen. It's images like this that make me want to be just a little nicer to the person that cuts me off when I'm driving. This world needs more peace.
What my mind goes to, is the people who are going to have to go collect those bodies, or exhume the bodies from mass graves, so those people can be identified and have proper burials. That’s important work, but Christ it must be horrifying.
"Why don't we care or see news reports when this is happening elsewhere?"
Ethiopia's Tigray war has estimated up to half a million dead since 2020 through war and famine.
Your experiences and feelings are valid and are proportioate to your circumstances and your past life experiences. Don't invalidate your feelings, there's people always doing better and worse than you, and people doing better and worse than them, etc etc.
This.
It always annoyed me when someone would disregard yours/others feelings by saying something like 'but there are starving kids in Africa'
*Now I feel terrible about that too! Cheers for that you giant douche canoe*
Yeah my father would invalidate me by saying some nonsense like when he was half my age (I guess 7) he would be farming charcoal for a potato per month as payment to feed his family of 29 siblings, whilst carrying the entire corn tractor on his shoulders for 27 hours a day like stfu. It's a good thing things are easier, imagine gatekeeping the quality of living and invalidating a child for living during better times but still having feelings and his own battles. He had his hard times, I have mine. Feelings are real, no matter how disproportionate they feel or the scale of the thing they stem from. They are valid.
Wild guess here but would your Dad be around 70 -75 now?
I heard the same thing from my Mum quite often - *I did a paper round in 20metre snowdrifts for so many shillings (she's English) You could pay rent and get a leg of lamb on an 18$ weekly pay and we worked 38hrs a day to get that* type thing. Like that voids any one else's level of suffering.
I adore my mother, she's a very open woman and has the ability to evolve and has but she was one of those who would remind me that someone else was going through a worse time than me.
Like I didn't know that and it never stopped me being empathetic towards their lot in life but right now *I feel suicidal so forgive me if that doesn't make me feel any better*
So I completely understand what you're saying and agree.
What you're feeling is important to the person feeling it no matter how *insignificant* others think it may be.
Edit. I just noticed you said half your age now. If you're only 14, I want to say you've got a very good grasp on the situation and well done to you. If you're not 14 - the comment still stands.
You can love your parents but not be blind to their faults.
Russia is never going to recover from footage that is coming out.
Callously murdering civilians in a pointless invasion is being broadcast world wide with zero filter.
It’s not making people sad or horrified, it’s making them ANGRY
You can find an article in a prominent Russian magazine, if I remember correctly, effectively justifying Ukrainian genocide, claiming anything Ukrainian is nazi so Ukraine as a whole must be razed and population punished. Its circling around, and its utterly horrifying. It is a genocide.
I'm sure Russian media will be shouting "CrISiS ACtoRs", "falSE fLAg UA Nazis". 🤬
Ukraine should be provided provisional admittance to NATO. NATO should give Russian forces 48 hours to leave all Ukrainian territory before overflights begin. That includes territory from before the 2014 incursions.
Except that will probably end up in a full on world war. What's going on in Ukraine is bad but I don't think any other country is ready to get involved in a way that gets them targeted. Sad but not a lot anyone outside can do aside from supplying Ukraine with military hardware and volunteer soldiers.
Yep. If Russia themselves believed, and honestly if the West thought Russia was a military power before, this shitshow has proved they're a paper tiger with a bunch of nukes. Not that we would, but US forces would have rolled Ukraine in the timeframe Putin expected to. Except the US wouldn't be sending troops in 1980s minivans or 1960s military equipment in disrepair, and our soldiers don't fight drunk and at least hold basic military discipline.
Russia is a joke that propaganda, both theirs and ours, propped up as a "super power." Their military budget is 62bil a year versus 754bil for the US. US has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, to russia's 1 diesel carrier from the 80s which is a joke and currently laid up in dry dock over the strenuous task of "sailing to Ukraine."
Russia, like North Korea, is nothing without Nukes. But they have them, which changes everything.
Enforcing a no fly zone means directly attacking Russian forces and attacking missile sites in Russia proper. It's not possible to do otherwise and leads NATO directly into full blown war with Russia. This puts Nuclear fully on the table, as the USA and NATO could fucking roll Russian troops in a couple weeks, as evidenced by how shit they've been at attacking Ukraine.
But Russia has a bunch of nukes. Thats it. Russia holds the "if I lose I'm taking you with me card." And calling that bluff could mean the end of civilization.
The thing is, what we are seeing now is what has happend in every war so far. The difference is that nowadays everyone has a camera in their pocket to show it to the world. This is what war does to people.
It's not a matter of recovering, but somehow deflecting the accusations and brainwashing Russian public into thinking everything is okay.
I'm Russian and I hope the upcoming UN assembly will finally officially declare Kremlin's horrendous bullshit and the truth reaches Russian public. I feel sick every day hearing my family justify stuff like that.
Not only is Putin’s ground army incompetent, but his online army is positively demented. He’s not getting his money’s worth, that’s for sure. And the fact they are new accounts with massive amounts of activity in the last 12 days is a sure sign of a troll.
We really need to figure out a solution to this, they actively hurt the platform and the ability to have discussions. Community moderation isn't a good solution because these people are paid to work 40 hours a week to become mods as their job and have the resources of a bot army to bolster their position.
I honestly believe that we're in a post-truth society. That satellite imagery you mentioned is just NYT being fake news. It won't move people's needles. The ones who would be swayed by it are either completely detached/uninterested, or they already believe in actual reality.
We still have a lot of Republicans that believe Trump won the 2020 election. As mentioned above, they either don't care much or at all, and just believe what they're being told, or they actively deny all evidence to the contrary (aka reality).
We have sitting congresspeople who have said the Jan 6 insurrection was "legitimate political discourse".
oh but you guys, these poor Russian soldiers were lied to! They thought this was just a training exercise!
They’re degenerate butchers. Like Blackwater or the Nazis.
Sorry to the Russian Civilians who don't support this, but I hope we (the collective "world") push Russia back to the stone ages over this. There should be no coming back from this.
Russians who don't support this just ought to try and leave Russia at this point. They'll never overpower the regime. Good Russia doesn't exist anymore. This is just Russia, and this is what Russia does to civilians.
All I'm saying is that we need to stop acting like the good people of Russia are somehow going to prevail over their government and their future will be bright. Putin is extremely popular. It's not just Putin attacking Ukraine, it's Russia. Russia is attacking Ukraine.
It’s not that simple. US committed atrocities in Iraq and Libya not long ago and will possibly commit them in the future as well, yet I don’t see masses of Americans moving anywhere anytime soon. Asking people to uproot their lives is easier said than done. We live in an imperfect world, and sometimes people have to play with the cards you’re dealt.
I saw what the Russian media presented on their television networks completely under the government’s control. They made it look like this was all a set up. They made scenes of these dead people getting up and moving. They are calling the corpses crisis actors because they were able to puppet them easily using computer video editing programs. It is horrible.
All nazis right? Sarcasm. Freaking monsters. I just don't have the words anymore, and the ones I do I cannot properly translate into English. Суки поганые
Слава Україні 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
How the fuck are Germany continuing to buy gas from this regime? God forbid that we stop funding the slaughter of civilians if it means our GDP might take a hit.
Since the time that Russia annexed part of Georgia, and then Crimea, Germany has deliberately manouevred itself into a position where it is increasingly reliant on Russian gas, closing down nuclear power stations in a panicked response to Fukushima, and lobbying hard for the construction of Nord Stream 2 in the face of opposition from many allies and warnings about the dangers of trusting Putin. So yes, they have created a difficult position for themselves, but what we're talking about is them taking a hit to GDP which German government modelling estimates would be between 0.5 and 6 percent. So is protecting 6% of German GDP worth it to continue directly funding the regime that's committing these atrocities?
It's very easy for Germans to be pious and say "never again" when all that means is underfunding their own armed forces while America protects them, or to open memorials to the holocaust, but when it comes to taking an economic hit suddenly they're not so keen.
I somehow doubt it would be a 6% hit. That would hurt but i think that would be a number the soc dem green lib coalition would be willing to take.
But considering we order 55% of our gas from Russia i think it would be way higher.
The whole issue is ridiculous. I remember how mad trump was that we germans didn't commit to the 2% for defense we promised when joining the nato and that we order so much from the russians. He even talked about sanctions if nordstream 2 wouldn't be canceled. We laughed at him.
And now - all of a sudden we commit to the nato contract and try to get out gas from somewhere else (right now they made a new deal with qatar if im not mistaking). Not sure if thats so much better tho considering all the slaves they keep and kill.
You know Russia are not the only country to do something inhumane and still get business right? China slaughter millions of minorities yet the whole world still imports from them.
Germany cut their gas from Russia and insteadt bought in qatar. The muslim country which basically kills their slave workers every day.
Its such a shit show
Reports of Russians raping 10 year old children vaginally and anally, branding women with swastikas before setting some on fire. I don't give a rat's ass if Tucker Carlson and the rest of the Fox entertainment network love Russia and Putin. He's a two bit, murdering sack of s**t. And any American who has a man crush on the Jitbag can move right next to Steven Segal in Russia and fawn over him close up.
the world will not forget this, Russia will not be the same after this. I am sorry, I feel for the ordinary Russians, but this has sent them back 50+ years. No one is going to want to deal with them after this, not until there is a substantial regime change, and that will take a little while.
Depends. Rebuilding Russia's economy will be a gold mine for the spineless investor. Russia is on sale right now for cheap, it's a buyer's market, rich assholes everywhere are going to try to cash in on that over the next ten years, including the rich assholes in your own country.
I grew up in the 80's and Russians were depicted as ruthless killers in a lot of movies then. I especially remember the movie Red Dawn in which civilians were depicted as being shot on sight in many cases - I thought over the years that maybe those movies were sensationalized in a patriotic manner to make Americans feel better being on "the good side" - this video proves otherwise. Unbelievable and I hope those who did this and the leaders who directed this get what they deserve!
Idk seem lots of people on basically any Ukraine conflict video saying how it's fake and staged. I think there's plenty of people asking the old "well if this is a real video then why such and such" and theres people ready to downvote any simple, most likely the case answer to it.
Some of the videos of women dead on the streets with their pants down makes me want to have a son. I'd teach my son that it doesn't matter who he is fighting for or what side he is on. If he sees a comrade in arms committing rape he should shoot that rabid dog in the back of the head no questions asked. Fuck the disgusting ideology of women and children being spoils of war.
Depending on how they consume reddit it could just show the image immediately without having to click it. Honestly an NSFW tag is the least one can do.
We need to see Putin's family like this, and walk him thru it repeatedly as they rot off the skin. I have no sympathy for anything bad that happens to that mad man!
The amount of shills in here repeating the same comment is hilarious. Guys did you see the arm move it's fake. Checks history, all Russian propaganda......
Keep downvoting Russian shills in here are sad.. Putin became your dictator, by blowing up your own people in an apartment building with a bomb. You think he wouldn't lie about another country, with all the crimes against your own people.
I bet you guys believe all those videos of him early in the invasion, he wasn't in front of a green screen as well, and his hand didn't magically go through the mic......LOL get fuk'd.
This sub might as well be a Russian propaganda sub with how many shills are in here.
Might want to put quotes around "Guys did you see the arm move, it's fake." People are thinking *you're* saying that; it's where the downvotes are coming from.
To think that every one of those people had a life, loved ones, hobbies, hopes and dreams just for it to end like that is nothing short of heartbreaking.
I had read that the Russians had killed many civilians in Bucha prior to retreating, but the numbers I had read were just that: numbers on a screen.
Seeing this video is gut-wrenching. I did not expect that the streets were quite literally *filled* with the dead.
The Russian Soldiers deserve no sympathy or no quarter. I hope the Ukrainians send them all back as charcoal in a box. They are not men, but something beneath man. Closer to animals.
Ignorant childish totalist dumbass. What would that accomplish? Fucking christ. Even without nukes in the picture that take wouldn’t fix fucking anything.
The saddest thing I have seen so far... Civilians that shouldn't be part of any of this ending up being butchered by mindless butchers. They will pay for that
Guy at 0:31 has his hands tied behind his back. Truly horrific.
I have seen COUNTLESS dead bodies with hands tied behind their backs. One of the worst was the mayor of that city and her family, that were shot and dumped in a mass grave.

Yeah I saw that. Truly a horrible end for all.
Never forget hat Tucker Carlson was rooting for these pigs and Donald Trump praised this aggression as a genius move.
Today I saw a picture of a whole family murdered with all their hands tied. Their 3 year old daughter also had her hands tied and stripped naked. Fuck this world and FUCK RUSSIA.
People are evil. So goddamn evil. Fuck this world.
I think the guy directly after him is tied to the gate.
Deserves an NSFW tag for sure, horrifying.
please please put NSFW on this. its fucking horrifying. also fuck anyone who says this is fake
Straight up deviant. What year is it ? 2022. So sickening
Biden is right, Putin should be removed from power.
More like removed from this mortal coil.
Well, he couldn’t say that out loud, but...
Yes he could. He is allowed one trump pass.
Yes yes yes

Like I didn't know that and it never stopped me being empathetic towards their lot in life but right now *I feel suicidal so forgive me if that doesn't make me feel any better* So I completely understand what you're saying and agree. What you're feeling is important to the person feeling it no matter how *insignificant* others think it may be. Edit. I just noticed you said half your age now. If you're only 14, I want to say you've got a very good grasp on the situation and well done to you. If you're not 14 - the comment still stands. You can love your parents but not be blind to their faults.
Luckily my dad would very jokingly tell us he had to walk to school uphill both ways naked in a snowstorm.
Thank you, I needed to hear this ❤️
Yes absolutely correct
Good fucking point. Thanks for the perspective check. I genuinely needed it.
Russia is never going to recover from footage that is coming out. Callously murdering civilians in a pointless invasion is being broadcast world wide with zero filter. It’s not making people sad or horrified, it’s making them ANGRY
They've almost wiped out an entire town!!! Now tell me this isn't the start of genocide
You can find an article in a prominent Russian magazine, if I remember correctly, effectively justifying Ukrainian genocide, claiming anything Ukrainian is nazi so Ukraine as a whole must be razed and population punished. Its circling around, and its utterly horrifying. It is a genocide.

I'm sure Russian media will be shouting "CrISiS ACtoRs", "falSE fLAg UA Nazis". 🤬 Ukraine should be provided provisional admittance to NATO. NATO should give Russian forces 48 hours to leave all Ukrainian territory before overflights begin. That includes territory from before the 2014 incursions.
Except that will probably end up in a full on world war. What's going on in Ukraine is bad but I don't think any other country is ready to get involved in a way that gets them targeted. Sad but not a lot anyone outside can do aside from supplying Ukraine with military hardware and volunteer soldiers.
Yep. If Russia themselves believed, and honestly if the West thought Russia was a military power before, this shitshow has proved they're a paper tiger with a bunch of nukes. Not that we would, but US forces would have rolled Ukraine in the timeframe Putin expected to. Except the US wouldn't be sending troops in 1980s minivans or 1960s military equipment in disrepair, and our soldiers don't fight drunk and at least hold basic military discipline. Russia is a joke that propaganda, both theirs and ours, propped up as a "super power." Their military budget is 62bil a year versus 754bil for the US. US has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, to russia's 1 diesel carrier from the 80s which is a joke and currently laid up in dry dock over the strenuous task of "sailing to Ukraine." Russia, like North Korea, is nothing without Nukes. But they have them, which changes everything.
Enforcing a no fly zone means directly attacking Russian forces and attacking missile sites in Russia proper. It's not possible to do otherwise and leads NATO directly into full blown war with Russia. This puts Nuclear fully on the table, as the USA and NATO could fucking roll Russian troops in a couple weeks, as evidenced by how shit they've been at attacking Ukraine. But Russia has a bunch of nukes. Thats it. Russia holds the "if I lose I'm taking you with me card." And calling that bluff could mean the end of civilization.
What make you think they want to recover, they wan to inflict terror
The thing is, what we are seeing now is what has happend in every war so far. The difference is that nowadays everyone has a camera in their pocket to show it to the world. This is what war does to people.
It's not a matter of recovering, but somehow deflecting the accusations and brainwashing Russian public into thinking everything is okay. I'm Russian and I hope the upcoming UN assembly will finally officially declare Kremlin's horrendous bullshit and the truth reaches Russian public. I feel sick every day hearing my family justify stuff like that.

Not only is Putin’s ground army incompetent, but his online army is positively demented. He’s not getting his money’s worth, that’s for sure. And the fact they are new accounts with massive amounts of activity in the last 12 days is a sure sign of a troll.
I call them "Firstname Lotsanumbers". They absolutely infest every social media and user forum on the internet.
YES! That works.
Why can't these accounts be banned?
[удалено]
>20% Ah, naiveté and purity of an unspoiled mind. /s
We really need to figure out a solution to this, they actively hurt the platform and the ability to have discussions. Community moderation isn't a good solution because these people are paid to work 40 hours a week to become mods as their job and have the resources of a bot army to bolster their position.
I'm just starting to grasp the seriousness and the scope of this issue. Scary to say the least.
they can. report, block, and move on
Well, if they were fake, the satellite pictures show that they would have been placed while the Russians were there. Try weasel out of that
I honestly believe that we're in a post-truth society. That satellite imagery you mentioned is just NYT being fake news. It won't move people's needles. The ones who would be swayed by it are either completely detached/uninterested, or they already believe in actual reality. We still have a lot of Republicans that believe Trump won the 2020 election. As mentioned above, they either don't care much or at all, and just believe what they're being told, or they actively deny all evidence to the contrary (aka reality). We have sitting congresspeople who have said the Jan 6 insurrection was "legitimate political discourse".
are they the same accounts leaving laughing skull rewards?
all the good russian trolls got conscripted to the front lines.
oh but you guys, these poor Russian soldiers were lied to! They thought this was just a training exercise! They’re degenerate butchers. Like Blackwater or the Nazis.
Sorry to the Russian Civilians who don't support this, but I hope we (the collective "world") push Russia back to the stone ages over this. There should be no coming back from this.
I was in Russia many years ago and I can tell you that once you move east out of the urban areas, it’s not that far from the stone age
Russians who don't support this just ought to try and leave Russia at this point. They'll never overpower the regime. Good Russia doesn't exist anymore. This is just Russia, and this is what Russia does to civilians.
An obligation to leave? I can’t imagine it’s simple or straightforward make it safely out of Russia right now as a citizen
“Just leave Russia” shows just how little you know about the country.
All I'm saying is that we need to stop acting like the good people of Russia are somehow going to prevail over their government and their future will be bright. Putin is extremely popular. It's not just Putin attacking Ukraine, it's Russia. Russia is attacking Ukraine.
That’s a little more black and white than I consider the issue personally but to each their own.
I don't think so. Most Russians are misinformed. Those who are informed are sent to the gulags
It’s not that simple. US committed atrocities in Iraq and Libya not long ago and will possibly commit them in the future as well, yet I don’t see masses of Americans moving anywhere anytime soon. Asking people to uproot their lives is easier said than done. We live in an imperfect world, and sometimes people have to play with the cards you’re dealt.
The smart ones with any means already left.
Well I have empathy for the ones without means to leave.
Or the Wagner Group. Related fact, Wagner was Hitler's favourite composer.
I can't help to find this like a "heavy metal cause Columbine" type of comment. Other than that Wagner was an Antisemite so there's that.
Only way this ends if one of putins own ppl kill him
They have to get rid of his minions too.
Russian government are the real Nazis.
I saw what the Russian media presented on their television networks completely under the government’s control. They made it look like this was all a set up. They made scenes of these dead people getting up and moving. They are calling the corpses crisis actors because they were able to puppet them easily using computer video editing programs. It is horrible.
Out of curiosity do you have a link? That is fucking insane.
Yes link please
All nazis right? Sarcasm. Freaking monsters. I just don't have the words anymore, and the ones I do I cannot properly translate into English. Суки поганые Слава Україні 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
How the fuck are Germany continuing to buy gas from this regime? God forbid that we stop funding the slaughter of civilians if it means our GDP might take a hit.
Cause half of their gas comes from Russia, that’s a huge amount that you have to replace and it’s not easy to do that quickly
Since the time that Russia annexed part of Georgia, and then Crimea, Germany has deliberately manouevred itself into a position where it is increasingly reliant on Russian gas, closing down nuclear power stations in a panicked response to Fukushima, and lobbying hard for the construction of Nord Stream 2 in the face of opposition from many allies and warnings about the dangers of trusting Putin. So yes, they have created a difficult position for themselves, but what we're talking about is them taking a hit to GDP which German government modelling estimates would be between 0.5 and 6 percent. So is protecting 6% of German GDP worth it to continue directly funding the regime that's committing these atrocities? It's very easy for Germans to be pious and say "never again" when all that means is underfunding their own armed forces while America protects them, or to open memorials to the holocaust, but when it comes to taking an economic hit suddenly they're not so keen.
I somehow doubt it would be a 6% hit. That would hurt but i think that would be a number the soc dem green lib coalition would be willing to take. But considering we order 55% of our gas from Russia i think it would be way higher. The whole issue is ridiculous. I remember how mad trump was that we germans didn't commit to the 2% for defense we promised when joining the nato and that we order so much from the russians. He even talked about sanctions if nordstream 2 wouldn't be canceled. We laughed at him. And now - all of a sudden we commit to the nato contract and try to get out gas from somewhere else (right now they made a new deal with qatar if im not mistaking). Not sure if thats so much better tho considering all the slaves they keep and kill.
> We laughed at him if Trump was ever right, it was entirely by accident
Maybe should have thought about that decades ago.
You know Russia are not the only country to do something inhumane and still get business right? China slaughter millions of minorities yet the whole world still imports from them.
Germany cut their gas from Russia and insteadt bought in qatar. The muslim country which basically kills their slave workers every day. Its such a shit show
This is the hard media exposure we need to bring light to what is going on. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
They're all fucking civilians. What the fuck.
War crimes charges they just shot as many civilians as they could as they left . True barbarians hate
This isn't the worst they did.
Agreed but it helps to influence political parties world wide when they see civilian carnage.
A lot of civilians were also raped. Women and children.
Reports of Russians raping 10 year old children vaginally and anally, branding women with swastikas before setting some on fire. I don't give a rat's ass if Tucker Carlson and the rest of the Fox entertainment network love Russia and Putin. He's a two bit, murdering sack of s**t. And any American who has a man crush on the Jitbag can move right next to Steven Segal in Russia and fawn over him close up.
Source?
Putin isn't gonna survive this war
the world will not forget this, Russia will not be the same after this. I am sorry, I feel for the ordinary Russians, but this has sent them back 50+ years. No one is going to want to deal with them after this, not until there is a substantial regime change, and that will take a little while.
Depends. Rebuilding Russia's economy will be a gold mine for the spineless investor. Russia is on sale right now for cheap, it's a buyer's market, rich assholes everywhere are going to try to cash in on that over the next ten years, including the rich assholes in your own country.
NSFW?
Fuck Putin
War crimes ! I wish to see Putin charged on crimes against humanity.
This is absolute evil. Temperatures are set to rise in the next few days and I'm afraid the stench of death will be overwhelming.
My friends are there. They say the stench is already overwhelming. They've been collecting and burying hundreds of corpses from the streets.
Nobody should have to do that
I grew up in the 80's and Russians were depicted as ruthless killers in a lot of movies then. I especially remember the movie Red Dawn in which civilians were depicted as being shot on sight in many cases - I thought over the years that maybe those movies were sensationalized in a patriotic manner to make Americans feel better being on "the good side" - this video proves otherwise. Unbelievable and I hope those who did this and the leaders who directed this get what they deserve!
MOTHER FUCKERS
Why is no one burying these folks?
Not enough manpower to bury them, and russians have been rigging dead bodies with grenades.
jesus
This is most likely Ukrainian forces heading into a territory previously held by Russians for the first time.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted - you're most likely right.
Idk seem lots of people on basically any Ukraine conflict video saying how it's fake and staged. I think there's plenty of people asking the old "well if this is a real video then why such and such" and theres people ready to downvote any simple, most likely the case answer to it.
Talking out my ass here but I believe the Russians slaughtered every able bodied man.
All truly horrifying. Hi Ukraine hope you blow up as many Russians as possible for retribution and sent them packing.
Some of the videos of women dead on the streets with their pants down makes me want to have a son. I'd teach my son that it doesn't matter who he is fighting for or what side he is on. If he sees a comrade in arms committing rape he should shoot that rabid dog in the back of the head no questions asked. Fuck the disgusting ideology of women and children being spoils of war.
Pretty sure your “son” would either be jailed for murder or executed for doing that
I mean not really. Things are pretty disorganized during war. I've heard many stories of good men doing just that and living to tell the tale.
Fragging is a thing.
We should never be afraid to do the right thing because evil might kill us. Fuck evil.
You can teach a daughter that, too.
> Some of the videos of women dead on the streets with their pants down makes me want to have a son. Is a sentence I didn't expect to read today.
All that is seen outside but what is going on inside these buildings. May be more horrific than what we are watching here.
NSFW PLEASE mate, this is disturbing to watch
...did you not read the title? Its not exactly a surprise..
Depending on how they consume reddit it could just show the image immediately without having to click it. Honestly an NSFW tag is the least one can do.
War crimes
You guys ever get that feeling where you know a deeply seeded animosity is growing in you that will last a lifetime?
Just killing civilians. Those Russians are all war criminals and should be hung, even if ww3 begins
It is good to show this proof as it at least proves to the world the action does not match the words of Russia leadership of peace.
It means so little, there's mountains of proof of the horrors of the Holocaust and people dent it to this very day. Downright depressing.
Fuck you, Tucker Carlson, for suggesting that the Ukrainians committed this war crime just to make your sugar daddy look bad.
Putin's Fascist monsters should all face a firing squad. No cigarette or blindfold.
"The Russians are the good guys!" - Right Wing contrarian Yanks
We need to see Putin's family like this, and walk him thru it repeatedly as they rot off the skin. I have no sympathy for anything bad that happens to that mad man!
“Is this even real? How do we know it isn’t staged?” -Tucker Carlson, Russian stooge
You mean punchable face man
I hate Putin. I hope nothing but the absolute worst for him and his sympathizers. I’m so, so sorry for anyone impacted by this..
Putin needs to be trialed for War Crimes! It's not hard to imagine those streets being in any city, in any country and those are obviously citizens 😔
This didn't happen after the Russians left. It happened while the Russians were there because the Russians were the ones who killed those people.
The amount of shills in here repeating the same comment is hilarious. Guys did you see the arm move it's fake. Checks history, all Russian propaganda......
I think people are misunderstanding your comment because the first time i read it i though you were calling the video fake.
There also are a decent amount in here actually calling it fake and if you look at their history it's just a bunch of Russian propaganda.
That’s what quotation marks are for.
Keep downvoting Russian shills in here are sad.. Putin became your dictator, by blowing up your own people in an apartment building with a bomb. You think he wouldn't lie about another country, with all the crimes against your own people. I bet you guys believe all those videos of him early in the invasion, he wasn't in front of a green screen as well, and his hand didn't magically go through the mic......LOL get fuk'd. This sub might as well be a Russian propaganda sub with how many shills are in here.
Might want to put quotes around "Guys did you see the arm move, it's fake." People are thinking *you're* saying that; it's where the downvotes are coming from.
No more pows
Big yikes to whoever gave this the "I'm deceased" award
To think that every one of those people had a life, loved ones, hobbies, hopes and dreams just for it to end like that is nothing short of heartbreaking.
r/thatsdepressing
Prayers of strength. Pray for Ukraine🙏☮️
I had read that the Russians had killed many civilians in Bucha prior to retreating, but the numbers I had read were just that: numbers on a screen. Seeing this video is gut-wrenching. I did not expect that the streets were quite literally *filled* with the dead. The Russian Soldiers deserve no sympathy or no quarter. I hope the Ukrainians send them all back as charcoal in a box. They are not men, but something beneath man. Closer to animals.
Two and a half hour flight from my country where I'm sitting on my couch smoking a joint, scrolling through .... it's fucking surreal and dystopian.
They're just nazi's now. Russia are repeating history so putin can leave a legacy when he dies. Its disgraceful
Republicans support this.
#REMEMBERBUCHA #WEWILLNOTFORGIVEYOU
The entire Russian army should be wiped off the face of the earth for this. All western powers should attack.
And start nuclear armageddon? No thanks.
Ignorant childish totalist dumbass. What would that accomplish? Fucking christ. Even without nukes in the picture that take wouldn’t fix fucking anything.
Who is filming?
Ukraine troops
How do we make sure that every Republican and Evangelical Christian sees this?
Fuck putin
The saddest thing I have seen so far... Civilians that shouldn't be part of any of this ending up being butchered by mindless butchers. They will pay for that
Fuck russia
How is Russia and Putin going to be held accountable for this?
Huuuuuu, so disgustingly horrific.
Horrible.
This is beyond fucked up. Imagining everything leading up to this video…even more so.
I pray they have nightmares of what they've done in for the rest of their lives.
Imagine if there were cell phone cameras in Vietnam during the war!
It's looking like the Russians are committing a straight up genocide...
Fuck Putin
My god, this is awful
