A former deputy who switched allegiance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the occupying Russian forces in the southern region of Kherson has been shot dead, Russian investigators said Monday.

Alexei Kovalev, "the deputy head of the military and civil administration in the Kherson region was killed by bullets," the investigators said on Telegram.

The attack took place in his home on Sunday, they said, adding a young woman who lived with him was also a victim.

They did not give any further details.

In the past months, several Ukrainian officials named by Russian forces in occupied territory have been killed or wounded in attacks.

Traitors need not necessarily swing. This’ll do. Result’s the same.

Yeah, of course you have to murder a young woman who lives with your target. That’s just common sense… to Ukrainian Nazis and neocon tools.

Apparently the Russians thought it would be just like taking over Crimea. You roll in, you push a few people around, and everyone goes back to their miserable meh lives.

You would do far worse if it was the U.S. that was occupied.

I like how selectively Putinists find morality in war. If its done by a Ukrainian, its unjustifiable and the worst thing ever. If a Russian does it, is caught on CCT surveillance executing civilians for no reason, then it’s (1) either an Illuminati conspiracy using CGI, (2) actors, (3) or they deserved it.

Subconsciously, people always hold those who are “in the right” to a higher standard of behavior.

Nobody expects the Russians to behave nicely in wartime especially when they’re the aggressors, so when they go completely off the reservation, “so what”. Apathy on one side, whataboutism on the other.

Putinistas expect the Ukrainians to stick rigidly to the rule book, if they’re really the victims. Held to a higher standard.

The mentality of the Putinista is similar to the liberal interpretation of “stand your ground” arguments in the UK. Who argue that the home defender has to be proportionate.

Remember the good old days when Freepers would’ve taken Tony Martin’s side when he shot at two burglars? Now, the Putinistas would argue that no matter how bad the burglars were, he oughtn’t to have shot ‘em.
