Russia claims 40 Ukrainian POWs killed in strike with US HIMARS, Ukraine decries 'brutal execution'
Fox News ^ | July 29, 2022 | Caitlin McFall

Russia's Defense Ministry on Friday claimed that at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed after U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) were used by Ukrainian armed forces to strike occupied territory in the Donbas, and hit a Russian detention center.

A Ukrainian defense official denied the claims and told Fox News Digital it was likely a "brutal execution of POWs."

The official said they have "99 percent certainty that this was a Russian strike."

Ukraine’s defense ministry is still collecting information on the incident and the official was unable to verify the number of captive Ukrainian soldiers killed or injured in the strike.

Zelensky Eliminates the Azov who surrendered in Mariupol rather than fight to death as ordered

May I ask a question: Why do so many people around here take Deep States’ word for the fact that there’s a hot war going on in Ukraine?

Graphic: Azov POW’s executed by Zelensky regime forces using American supplied MLRS. It appears most of them were asleep during the strike— which is not by chance, the time of the strike was chosen carefully to inflict as many casualties as possible. The prisoners have just started speaking against the crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before the trial was about to take place.

Ukrainian propagandists are already saying Russia hit their own detention centres. — yes, Russia killed their own witnesses which they could use on national television to support their narrative at home & to detain and prosecute Ukrainian military officers. Logic level: Ukrop

I sense CIA involvement in identifying the target; the CIA being up to its eyeballs in illegal actions for its own benefit in Ukraine. Very typical for them to coverup one illegal action with another illegal action.

Given the ‘credibility’ of both the Western media and the Ukranians, it’s clear in this case, that Ukrainians need better targeting information from the West, if we’re going to give them our big toys.

“Russian Defense ministry - hahahaha!”

The thing is, even YOU KNOW that the Russian Defense Ministry is the MOST ACCURATE source of information on this war.

...but we also understand that some here have jobs to do, so it’s ok. We all just chuckle at your posts now.

Well, as I posted on another thread this incident is going to put Zelensky in danger. There is no way Azov is going to let him get away with this. They were already so angry with him for not sending reinforcements in to Azovstal to rescue them in Mariupol. And they are very dangerous people.

If it was the CIA (or Mi6) maybe they could derive two benefits from it. Avoid the witnesses testifying which would have been very messy for the West and eliminate Zelensky if Azov takes their revenge.

April 23rd. RMOD claims continued resistance claims in Mariupol as “fake”

Mariupol fighting ended May 20.

Nice article exposing RMOD nonsense:

I know when I’m looking for facts on anything, I zip on over to Yahoo to get the straight scoop from Ya-hoo’s.

“Mariupol fighting ended May 20.”

Why do you LIE here? Does it make you feel good or something?

As to Moskva, what, exactly, did the Russian MOD say about it?

I’ll answer for you: They said the ship was on fire. Was it not on fire? You may not like the fact that the Russian MOD doesn’t discuss everything you may want them to, but that DOES NOT mean they lie (unlike your case with Mariupol).

As to your Yahoo article - it was written by Ukraine, and by the way, anyone who has studied wars knows that it is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE to take a town 4 times in one war.

So, if that’s the best you have, I’m through humoring you.
