The Battle of Mariupol is over and Russia is busy proclaiming the liberation of the city. In reality, Mariupol has been murdered. This formerly bustling metropolis of almost half a million people now lies on the brink of extinction, pummeled into submission by a vicious campaign of Russian annihilation. The estimated 100,000 remaining residents of Mariupol find themselves reduced to living among the rubble without medicines, running water or electricity.
With Russia in control of the city, there is no way of knowing the final death toll or assessing the true scale of the catastrophe that has befallen Mariupol. During the final weeks of the fighting, Mariupol Mayor Vadim Boychenko estimated more than 20,000 civilians had been killed and noted that this was twice the number of deaths recorded in the entire two-year Nazi occupation of the city during WWII. “Putin is a bigger evil than Hitler and we must stop him,” commented Boychenko.

I do get a kick out of him in the supermarket...it is LOADED WITH FOOD.
Most people in the Donbas don’t hate the Russians...your “family” notwithstanding.
The war crimes in Mariupol were committed by the Azov regiment and Ukrainian nationalists, who used civilians as human shields and killed those that tried to escape.
There are plenty of videos of interviews with civilians that have said so.
You and those putting out these lies are disgrace to humanity.
It didn’t happen. Fake.
“there were young Ukrainian men with SS and Nazi tattoos there...”
Nazi tattoos are found among motorcycle gangs in the US. The locals in my part of Florida are terrified when the images appear. (Denoting Terrorism, which might be the whole point, since they don’t have a Führer).
Hopefully Florida will not be invaded over it. Of course, the real reason Putin invaded is a land grab of a resource rich area and a nostalgic Russian power expansion.
Free America Firster to you scum.
They just keep on dishing out the propaganda, and the simpleminded will just keep lapping it up.
Don’t you have a big gay parade to get ready for?
I hear your city plans a MONTH of celebrations.

but.but.but didn’t Z negotiate a successful evacuation for your azov neo-nazi terrorist friends?

“Don’t you have a big gay parade to get ready for?”
Is that the one where you’re the grand marshal?
“Oh bite me you nincompoop.”
I would be willing to bite a big chunk out of you, unfortunately however, I do not yet possess a Time Machine which I could safely use to travel back to 1960 or 1958 or whatever year you are living in where the Commies are lurking behind every tree.
So in the meantime, could you just bite yourself somewhere, your arm maybe??? Or maybe, if John le Carre’ is still alive, we could talk him into doing a book about you, to wit: “The Knuckle-Dragging Goober Who Is Still Out There In The Cold!” - that would be a good title!
“For a long time they said there was a neo-nazi problem in Ukraine. Now they say they’re freedom fighters.”
You do know they’re not mutually exclusive, right?
Maybe 20,000 neo nazis in Donbass were lifelong residents.
Maybe 5000 of them went paramilitary.
Maybe 2000 if them actively went out of their way to kill Russians.
Best estimates (from the DPR itself, not the MSM) reckon on maybe 150 civilians killed in 2019. The UN figures are lower.
For 2020 and 2021 the UN counted less than 26. In each entire year.
I don’t know about you but if I was told a country really had tens of thousands of active Russian hating mass killers rampaging round Donbass committing a genocide I’d expect to hear about more than 25 body bags (and, I’d expect them to actually be Russians killed in direct fighting. Actually about half of them weren’t killed that way at all. Some were Ukes killed by landmine accidents.)
Ask the DPR how many Russians were killed in 2020 and 2021. If there’s a genocide they should have a bit more than 2 dozen dead Russian civilians, definitely murdered in cold blood.
Oddly, they won’t even publish an estimate.
A cynic might think the UN stats and the DPR stats both pointed to the genocide ending in 2019 and for some reason I can’t put my finger on, Putin and Lavrov lied incessantly to make it out to be an ongoing genocide.
Now, why would they do that?
Ah, you’re an attorney. It all makes sense now.
Of course you’d defend a murdering communist.

Well, using that logic, the Ukrainians could have saved every dead or wounded Ukrainian by surrendering on February 24th.
AND, a lot of the invading Russians would still be alive.
War is HELL. Its all Bad—there are no war crimes because War is a Crime! Yes, lots of folks died—horrible, yes, but the age of Chivalry has long ended. All are targets. What we did in the Tokyo fire bombings was terrible—but we won. What the Russians did in Mariupol was also terrible—but they won. No moralizing here—get the war over with—STOP THE KILLING—NOW. So what if a border changes? It happens—Ask any Tibetan?
I think you should change your name from “Lurker” to “Jerker “!
Much more appropriate name for you!
