The crime of aggression must be punished, and perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity must face justice. Ukrainian and international representatives of legal structures repeatedly state this. Our correspondents have found out when the international tribunal could be held.

Former senior military intelligence officer Philip Ingram joins Sky News to look at both Ukrainian and Russian strategies in the city of Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine.

The city has become a pinch point in the war - which Mr Ingram suggests may be part of a bigger plan by Ukrainian forces to prepare for action “elsewhere”.

“ Russian soldiers are being ordered to fight Ukrainian forces with only “firearms and shovels,” said the UK’s Ministry of Defence.”

Once again the “Reverend Mother” posts her/his/its daily thread with TSUNAMI sized waves of Globalist/Neocon/EU propaganda. I’m still trying to figure out how the Rooskies are able to get those shovels to produce deadly artillery shell shrapnel to kill tens of thousands of Ukrainian cannon fodder conscripts. Must be some sort of Rooskie military secret.

Yep, the good old “pay no attention to that besieged city behind the curtain” ploy. Sure, the real SECRET action is elsewhere.

What happens if they succeed?

I don’t see any positive outcome with this war.

Russia isn’t going to just walk away. Maybe after 10 years, but not anytime soon.

Apparently the rate of Russian shelling is down, and combat vehicles have become scarce. Russian attacks are more and more being conducted by infantry.

As for the casualty rates and the balance thereof, beware of wishful thinking.

It’s an old maxim that attackers need a 3 to 1 advantage over defenders. W
If that still holds true Russia is still in for one helluva fight.

The Prosecutor General’s Office has identified 171 victims of sexual violence by Russian troops, First Lady Olena Zelenska said at the United for Justice Conference in Lviv on March 4. The First Lady noted the number of sexual violence crimes perpetrated by Russian occupation troops in Ukraine, and that it indicates that such crimes are a deliberate policy of the Russian military.

‘This is their conscious and psychological weapon against Ukrainians. Condemning rape and other war crimes must set a precedent so that any potential aggressor knows that this will not go unpunished,’ Olena Zelenska said.

According to her, 119 criminal cases of sexual violence were reported against women, 39 against men, and 13 against minors during more than a year of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This volunteer unit is conducting drills in the Kyiv region to prepare for the announced spring counter-offensive of the Ukrainian forces to liberate the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. Earlier, this autumn, the decisive Ukrainian counter-offensive allowed to liberate Kherson from the Russian occupiers and most of the Kharkiv region, which is often called the ‘Kharkiv miracle’.

The Wagner group is kicking the Ukrainian army's asses.

Russia hasn't even used its regular military on the ground in this war yet.

Sadly the Russians have two choices: Either kill every Ukrainian soldier until someone signs a peace treaty or have Russia split up and destroyed forever.

Nonsense! Russia could go home and live in peace with its neighbors.

When this war ends exactly how Larry Johnson and other objective sources predict it will, you’re the one a lot of explaining to do. For example, Why did you repeat Biden regime propaganda?

You are entitled to your own viewpoint of course.
I understand you choose your sources that support your position. But you do you & that’s ok.

However, Larry C. Johnson is not an unbiased source. He is connected to Sideney Blumentha & Hillary. Later, Johnson said Hillary threw him under the bus! LOL

Comme ci, comme ça. I am totally indifferent to your political interpretations. However, you are totally entitled to your own viewpoint and sources of course.

How will I explain my posts... VERY EASILY!

I don’t follow or post propaganda. I wish you could acknowledge that both the people of Russia and Ukraine are suffering from this invasion by ‘mad-man’ Putin .

Putin has wanted to invade Ukraine since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. In August 1991 with a referendum three months later, on December 1, confirmed the decision overwhelming with: 84% turnout the overall majority of over 90% voted for independence of Ukraine. Kind of a slap in the face for Putin!

**Most significantly, the vote in those regions with a larger proportion of Russian-speakers also voted the same way: Odesa, 85% votes for independence, in Luhansk 83%, in Donetsk, 77% and in Crimea over 54%. This completely supports the desire for a separate Ukrainian population identity.

However, Putin chose to invade in 2014. Putin returned again to invade Ukraine in 2022.

ONLY Putin can STOP the invasion of Ukraine.
