Was there another explicit Ukrainian atrocity discovered? Such idotic stories usually pop up to distract from them.
Given the well-documented history of Russia’s repeated lousy treatment of its neighbors and previous war crimes (Chechnya, Katyn Wood, for examples),
this story has a definite ring of possibility to it
just sayin’ ...
Do you know why thousands of Russian speaking Ukrainians from the Donbas are fighting like tigers against the Russian army? It is because they know the truth about Russian crimes and Russian atrocities against Ukrainians. The Russians are criminals being defeated by the brave.
Explicit propaganda is just another by-product of the fog of war. Maybe this all happened, to a greater or lesser extent, but sensationalizing the reporting does nothing to tamp down the bursts of fury needed to keep men engaged in a very dangerous and deadly game.
This kind of report is designed for only one purpose, to goad and inflame the populace and the military into the continuation of the meat grinder.
