Here's a different opinion.
Its so hard to know what real, isn't it?

“There is no way we can get there," Bakhmut's deputy mayor Oleksandr Marchenko said, referring to the intense battle ongoing in the town situated in Donetsk.
Ukrainian fighters are now withdrawing from the frontlines of the battered industrial town of Bakhmut or the Artyomovsk region in Donetsk in numbers ranging from five to ten, Bakhmut's deputy mayor Oleksandr Marchenko told American broadcaster, CNN. “The enemy blows everything to the ground, strikes at multi-story buildings, and the residential sector. There are air raids, artillery shelling, and mortar shelling," the deputy mayor said in televised remarks. Russia's PMC Wagner fighters are striking the fortress city "with everything they can," said Marchenko. The latter informed that approximately 4,000 to 4,500 people are still in Bakhmut while the town has nearly been entirely evacuated.
Bakhmut 'practically encircled'
Footages from Bakhmut depicted that Ukraine's military has been repelling a string of attacks despite the claims circulated by Russia's Wagner that the entire besieged town has been "practically encircled." Over the past 24 hours, Ukraine's military personnel have been fighting the mercenary forces that have declared that the Bakhmut has been completely surrounded and that only one road was operative. Footages circulating on the Wagner PMC Telegram channels showed that the bridge over the Bakhmutka River was destroyed by the retreating Ukrainian forces and that there was no longer an exit to the city.
Wagner's chief E.V. Prigozhin, in a video address from the besieged city, asked Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "save his soldiers, who would be killed if they did not surrender" in Bakhmut. In a video published on the PMC Wagner's press service on Telegram, Prigozhin said that Bakhmut was "almost completely surrounded" by Wagner fighters, confirming the reports that the heavily destroyed fortress city during a months-long battle was totally encircled. "The Wagner paramilitary group units have practically surrounded Bakhmut, only one road remains to leave the city," Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said, calling on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "to abandon the city immediately."
While the PMC hasn't officially declared that the city which is now completely encircled may not have fallen, the capture of the strategic Bakhmut will give Russian fighters the upper hand to press into the Slovyansk and Kramatorsk in the Ukrainian-held portions of the Donbas area.
You live in a fantasy world.
Obviously they’ve held the town for many months. None of them “turned tail and ran”.
Nor are they nazis.
Maybe you’re a communist.
This kind of execution will make the Ukrainians want to kill even more Russians.
Here's a different opinion.
Its so hard to know what real, isn't it?
Your post was just silly childishness, grow up.
Silly childishness is expecting some kind of justice for a prisoner executed in the field.
News flash: ALL sides, in almost EVERY war, commit 'war crimes' or 'crimes against non-combattants'!
There are no 'good guys' in the Russia-Ukraine war! Videos Suggest Captive Russian Soldiers Were Killed at Close Range Going back further, can you say Azov Brigade? I knew you could!
Another news flash: Even the 'good guys' commit such crimes!
We are all well aware of the crimes of the Taliban and other 'true believers' of the cult of mohamed. We are well aware of Vietcong and NV war crimes. We are also well aware of PRC and NorK war crimes. We are also well aware of Soviet, Imperial Japanese and Nazi war crimes in WW2 (and later, in the case of the Soviets). Let's have a look at the crimes of the 'good guys':
Did Biden give the order to destroy Putin's Nord Stream pipeline after Ukraine invasion? Bombshell report claims Navy divers carried out mission to kill Russia's gas stranglehold on Europe in audacious mission overseen by president Not only has the US attacked a sovereign country's property, this attack also endangered the lives of citizens of a supposed ALLY! (For those ZEepers who choose to ignore reality, that ally is Germany!) How many lives have been lost due to this ACT OF WAR by the US?
Here is a list of War crimes in Afghanistan. ALL sides committed crimes against civilians.
How about NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia? Yes, BJ Klintoon convinced the rest of NATO to bomb a non-muslim country to support muslims, all just to raise his popularity at home!
How about Vietnam? Vietnam War Crimes Working Group.
It is common knowledge that Syngman Rhee ordered the killings of tens of thousands of civilians that he thought were communists. (Bodo League Massacre, December_massacres). There are also reports that US soldiers massacred civilians in Korea. ( G.I.'s Tell of a U.S. Massacre in Korean War)
WW2 had its share of 'war crimes', in addition to the well known Imperial Japanese, Nazi and Soviet crimes. In this article, Allied war crimes during World War II, crimes by Canada, France, in addition to UK and US, are listed.
In the Russia-Ukraine war, there are NO 'good guys'. Is Ukraine of strategic interest to the West? Certainly NOT, at least compared to Taiwan! By NATO running down its supply of war materiel, we are endangering our STRATEGIC ALLY, Taiwan and, OURSELVES!
Why is Taiwan 'strategic' to the West? The REPUBLIC of China manufactures the vast majority of the MOST ADVANCED chips in the world! IF we (the West) are unable to defend against the PRC invasion, WE will suffer much more than if we 'lose' Ukraine. Assuming that TSM is able to destroy ALL manufacturing equipment, plans, blueprints and technical data before the PLA seizes their manufacturing plants, we (the West) will be mostly 'at par' with PRC. Such destriction is a BIG assumption! Also, can TSM engineers and designers ALL be 'rescued' by the West before capture by the PLA? Another LARGE assumption! Yes, TSM is building a plant in the US to manufacture its CURRENT chips. The problem is, it will not be manufacturing chips for at least 18 months and TSM will be producing its NEXT GENERATION chips in Taiwan within one year!
In 2021, the US imported US$1.99 billion of goods from Ukraine and $77.1 billion of goods from Taiwan. The vast majority of imports from Ukraine are VERY low tech. Let's not forget also, that Zelenskyy, like True-dolt and Rutte, is 'der Führer und Reichskanzler' K(louse) Schwab's beholden little poodle! That, right there, should be reason enough, to stay away from this war! Of course, XiJinBiden and the 'deep state' need to keep the 'laundry' that is the Ukraine open, to continue to launder their money!
The Russia-Ukraine war is the WRONG WAR at the WRONG TIME for the West to be involved in! God help us!
Stop defending the execution of this man.
“Horrific video of an unarmed Ukrainian POW executed by Russian forces merely for saying “Glory to Ukraine”. Another proof this war is genocidal. It is imperative that
@KarimKhanQC launches an immediate ICC investigation into this heinous war crime. Perpetrators must face justice.”
~ Dmytro Kuleba
Then wait until someone posts that and send them your childish stuff.
Surrendered Russian soldiers....Both photos and investigation by both sides confirm this happening as well by the UN.
Drone footage after headshot executions to the prisoners....also coinfirmed after investigations by both sids.
Unlike many ZEepers on this site, I also DON'T DEFEND what UKRAINIANS have done to others! Nor do I DEFEND what WE, in the West, have done to others!
Who I WON'T support, is the actor Zelenskyy, being a POODLE of 'der Führer und Reichskanzler' K(louse) Schwab and his WEF narcissistic sociopaths and the chief 'launderer' of 'deep state' cash!
If you want to live in '15 minute cities', using your 'digital currency' to purchase your supply of 'bug burgers', but NOT hamburgers, all the while taking your semi-annual 'vaccinations, by all means, support the WEF conman!
Here's a little video of your hero dancing. Please don't salivate on your keyboard. You might electrocute yourself.
Tell your Putin to stop executing POWs.
BTW, I'll translate part of this into a language you understand.
"Baa, baa baa baaaa, baa ba baaaa!"
Why would anyone believe any of the propaganda you're posting here given how many times its been wrong?
Joe Biden and his pals both democrat/repub have so much blood on their hands.
They were the catalyst that caused this war.
It’s truly nauseating how little they value life. Any life.
We do not exist other than as insignificant objects to be manipulated when necessary.
They are good at that
Here we have the usual Pooty Pal propaganda photos selling the globohomo, high heels, light in the loafers image of the man who is driving Putin crazy. This on behalf of a culture that favors raping its own soldiers and prisoners because it is the manly thing to do.
One Russian soldier came around the corner firing a rifle at the Ukrainians.
In Makiyivka, the Russians pretended to surrender and opened fire.
Pretending to surrender, perfidy, is a war crime. When that happens, shooting those pretending to surrender is all but certain.
This is one of the reasons why during World War II, the allies in the Pacific largely stopped taking Japanese prisoners.
