Illia Samoilenko, an intelligence officer, said that the commander of the 36th Brigade of Ukrainian Marines, Volodymyr Baraniuk, decided to flee the encircled city of Mariupol, taking with him people, tanks and ammunition.

Samoilenko's Quote: One could run away like a coward, think only of one's own life, but not think about one's own duty, the oath that one took upon oneself. This is exactly what happened to the commander of the Marines of the 36th Brigade. He simply refused to carry out the order that was issued to him.

And he tried to flee the city with a small group of working tanks, armoured combat vehicles, [and] ammunition…

“I am surprised that this story made it past the Narrative Police”

Obviously a big mistake.

Better screenshot it. It won’t be there long. The Department of Misinformation will see to it!

It appears that the Russians did capture a Canadian General at Azvostal, not a lot of info on other senior officers.

Makes no sense to me that anyone is dying for this. Pride cometh before the fall.

This whole war or civil war is long overdue to end. I realize the US and others have vested interest in dragging it out but the people of Ukraine, many Russian, are suffering. And we'll be on the hook once it is over to help rebuild. And what will be accomplished? Was this ever a national security risk to the US? No. Well, now maybe based on our actions egging the Ukrainians on.

Besides, if we were really interested in this, we'd have cut off India and China who are buying Russian oil to fund their war in Ukraine. That is the long-term challenge and national security risk to the US--will we let India and China do whatever they want because of cheap Indian labor and cheap Chinese products?

Just as much propaganda as what’s coming out of Kiev every day.

They ALL tell tales.

The “people of Ukraine” are Ukrainians.

They are no more Russian than I am Scot-Irish-Swede.

If that were truly the case, then we wouldn’t be having a civil war. Ukraine was part of Russian for most of the past century, they share common bonds, culture, history, and many, some areas a majority of their population is Russian. This is a civil war that has been going on for something like 20 years. We’ve now stirred it up with NATO and so forth, now funding them as proxies to fight Russia. Instead, like with Trump, real leadership would have helped prevent the war and bloodshed that Biden and company, plus their Never Trump neocons and allies, have relished.

I wonder how Russian they feel over the past two months?

No matter how you slice it, Russians are there because they killed the Ukrainians before, during, and after WWII so they could steal their food.

The Russ haven’t had a claim to that piece of land since the Mongols swept through there.

Russia needs to be punished, and harshly.
