Not bad, 200+ brave men in exchange for one traitor. Russian milblog telegram channels saddened, they wanted their lynching of the POWs. Foreigners include US and UK citizens.

“Russian milblog telegram channels saddened, they wanted their lynching of the POWs. Foreigners include US and UK citizens.”

Agree, they probably preferred the Ukrainian approach of hitting their Azovs with HIMARS to keep them from testifying when the Russians brought them up on war crimes, since many were ready to sing.

You must be mistaken Bob, all HIMARS in Ukraine were destroyed long ago according to the russian MoD. All the explosions were smoking accidents, remember?

Those who survived Mariupol should write a book or three.

Looks like the Kremlin really wanted Medvedchuk, most likely so they can liquidate him before he talks too much.

Ever notice what’s on the backs of the uniforms of some of the Russian riot police? “OMOH” (just after 3:08).

300.000 plastic bags. Putin declared partial mobilization

...ok, so if you guys want us to believe that the Russians killed people who were starting to testify on Ukrainian War Crimes, so be it. It doesn’t mean we have to believe it?

By the way, how’s the Ghost of Kiev doing these days?

You should believe reality and truth, and cease twisting literally everything to fit your pro-Russia narrative.

No, I WILL NOT believe the Globalist/Neocon truth. I cannot control what you believe, or (more likely) what you claim to believe.
