Same piece posted at Newsweek under the title, Vladimir Putin's Reign of Torture and Kidnapping in Ukraine, but I chose not to post it because I didn't want to make our FRussians cry.

War is hell, ain’t it ?

Not a very smart interrogator...

One Russian soldier, nicknamed "the Greek," even presented a document identifying himself as a special response Spetsnaz officer from Moscow; another was commander of the Pskov paratrooper unit.

I'm sure the Indonesian stays up worrying about Russia and America killing themselves.

Has ANY dictator/fascist EVER voluntarily ceded power?

Why are we deluded that THIS ONE WILL?

It sure sucks to be a Ukrainian Nazi...or a member of their Parliament.

Another blissful day in Kiev discussing human rights

Is a kick in the head considered torture? (not if your a Ukrainian fascist)

[IAMNO1]

Well, I certainly hope they didn’t waterboard anyone. Why that would be way too much!

[texican01]

How could it be that Ukrainians were captured by Ruskies. All the NATO/ Lib propaganda claims that only the Russians suffer casualties and lots of them. Heh! Obama dudes get your propaganda story straight!!

This is par for Slavic warfare. Russians torture.

So do Ukrainians.

[lodi90]

You’re over the target with this one so obviously the FRussian have to try to derail the comments with nonsense.

It’s quite telling none of these murders & torturers are sitting in a Russian jail. They are awarded Russian medals and don’t sit in a Russian jail because mass murder & torture are policy tools of Putinist Russia. They are simply executing orders of the Russian state. No Russia, no war. Putin’s useful idiots are too dense to connect the dots.

OSCE says spots deadly Russian rocket system in Ukraine for first time
Reuters, via Yahoo News ^ | Oct 2, 2015 | Anton Zverev

MOSCOW (Reuters) - International monitors say they have spotted a new kind of Russian weapons system in rebel-held Ukraine this week, possible evidence of Moscow's continued interest in Ukraine even as it focuses on Syria.

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which is monitoring a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, reported that its monitors had seen a mobile TOS-1 'Buratino' weapons system for the first time.

The Buratino is equipped with thermobaric warheads which spread a flammable liquid around a target and then ignite it. It can destroy several city blocks in one strike and cause indiscriminate damage.

Only Russia produces the system and it was not exported to Ukraine before the conflict broke out, according to IHS Jane's Group and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which track arms exports.

The OSCE's findings are embarrassing for the Kremlin, which has turned down its rhetoric on Ukraine and shifted attention to Syria, where it has begun air strikes. The report comes before President Vladimir Putin holds talks in Paris on Friday with the leaders of Germany, France and Ukraine on the peace process.

My hope for my Ukrainian friends is that Putin will get so bogged down in Syria that he won’t have the resources to use in Ukraine
