Once-bustling highways on the outskirts of Kyiv have now become a graveyard for scores of Vladimir Putin's tanks as the Ukrainians continue their successful counterattacks around the capital.
Columns of Russian armoured vehicles have been reduced to rubble as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's troops continue to repel Russian forces, and in some instances recapture roads and settlements near to Kyiv.
As Ukrainian units advance, they're met with burned-out tanks and heavily-armoured personnel transport vehicles that line the roads once populated by commuters that would have been heading in or out of the capital.
But far more grisly finds are being discovered in the villages and towns in Kyiv's urban sprawl. After recapturing Bucha from the Russian forces, Ukrainian troops found the bodies of 20 men in civilian clothes on a single street.
In what could be further evidence of Russian war crimes, eyewitnesses said one of the corpses had his hands tied, with the dead bodies strewn all over residential roads in the suburban town that was once home to 28,000 people.
President Zelensky warned Moscow's retreating forces are leaving behind 'catastrophic' situations by mining the areas outside their homes, abandoning their ruined equipment and the 'bodies of those killed'.

So post the pro-Russian links. I would think the Russkies would have thier own websites supporting their propaganda.
Roosevelt should have told Stalin to go fuck himself.
[The subject is you fluffing Stalin.]
good, now we can stop wasting taxpayer dollars over there.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
I agree.
[Roosevelt should have told Stalin to go fuck himself. ]
Just sayin'.
Go Home Swamp Shill.
How CAN I? They’re all BANNED
The main one I want not to make it out alive or free after this war is Vlad Putin. Please let that vile criminal end up dead or locked up for life, and all his billions confiscated. Maybe use his wealth to rebuild Ukraine and pay reparations to the Ukrainians.

This is just unbelievable — Russian troops have left scores of firearms, vehicles, dead bodies, documents behind their backs as they were escaping the Kyiv region.
Lots of washing machines, toys, kitchen appliances, fry pans looted.
FUCKING FRY PANS.
Looted as trophies.
Well, that would certainly have cured your Russophobia.
Crazy video of abandoned Russian gear. Guns, gear, looted items, etc. everything....

Why did they leave all that stuff, and where did they go?
The Mail and the Mirror both have printed more ttuth about the Progressives, Biden and the Left in America than any US source. Suddenly we are told not to believe them.
Under the Law of Armed Conflict, civilians who spontaneously take up arms are not required to wear a uniform, or have identifying markers, so long as it is not "occupied" territory....those civilians would be a levee en masse, which is a lawful activity, and still warrant protections under the 6th Category of Article Four of Third Geneva Convention.
Whatever the case, other countries may not treat civilians in a war zone the same way Americans might treat them. Specifically, the Geneva Conventions apparently classify some civilians who take up arms as "unlawful combatants", and although US forces might not summarily execute such individuals, other countries are obviously not bound by American law and morality.
With our own government treating dissenting Americans as "insurrectionists", more 'militant' citizens might at some future point want to remember that armed civilians are apparently considered POWs (rather than "unlawful combatants") under the Geneva Conventions if they:
(a) are being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) have a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) are carrying arms openly; and
(d) are conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
Does any of this apply to Ukraine? Again, I don't know, but we've seen multiple threads posted here showing photos of "armed civilians" (here, and here, for example), who did not appear to be wearing "distinctive" insignia, may not have been under command, and may not have been conducting themselves in accordance with the laws of war.
Given all of the 'shark-jumping' propaganda out there, I would not be surprised if some completely 'fake news' has had the unanticipated result of getting real people killed, somewhere along the line...
No, Putin did not do that. But, the MSM will simply refuse to push anything else, so fake becomes ‘real’. What I can’t understand is why people know the MSM/Biden, Pelosi lie about everything else, have worked to destroy Trump and America, but when it comes to Putin, they worship the treasonous MSM and carry the water for them.
I see an Academy award for these Crisis actors. That’s why you never see their faces. Seriously are we relying on Dailymail for intelligence? Theyre the CNN of the UK-they screamed Russia Russia Russia for three years over the election fraud, and they’re the first ones out of the gate with every fake news story about Trump. Talk to the actual living survivors of Mariupol and listen how they were tortured by the Ukrainian army and Nazi militias.
People catch on quicker if you let them see your face, that's for dang sure:
