Former Wagner commanders confess to massive war crimes, including killing children

Former Wagner PMC commanders have confessed to committing massive war crimes against Ukrainians at the order of founder and leader Yevgeny Prigozhin during an interview with Russian human rights project Gulagu.net.
The commanders provided detailed accounts of how they brutally killed people, including the execution of over 20 Ukrainian children and teenagers, and the detonation of a pit containing more than 50 wounded captives, in a video published on April 17.
The former commanders said the orders came from both Prigozhin and unit commanders. Prigozhin also approved of terrorist methods and the brutality of the murders.
“I executed the order with my own hand — I killed children (...) We were ordered to sweep and destroy everyone (...) We killed everyone — women, men, pensioners, and children, including little ones, five-year-olds,” recounted former Russian prisoner Azamat Uldarov.
Former commander Alexei Savichev said that after the exchange of prisoners of war in February 2023, Russian officers gave orders to “shoot without words” anyone over the age of 15. Around 10 teenagers were executed along with others.
Savichev also revealed that failure to obey orders, including killing civilians, resulted in execution by firing squad.
“Russian terrorists have confessed to the murder of Ukrainian children in Bakhmut and Soledar. It’s about war criminals from the Wagner PMC, but this sheds light on the crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. They kidnap our children and kill them (...) We will learn all the facts about the crimes and find everyone who committed them. We are doing everything to bring our children back,” he wrote on Telegram.

Gulagu.net interviewed former Russian prisoners who were recruited by Wagner. Both Uldarov and Savichev were personally pardoned by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in late August and early September 2022, and the project say they both are “100% in Russia.”

Ukrainian intel intercepts Russian soldier boasting of killing 400 people in Kreminna, including women and children

https://english.nv.ua/nation/ukrainian-intel-intercepts-russian-soldier-boast-of-killing-400-people-in-kreminna-50326087.html
The Main Intelligence Directorate published on May 20 an audio interception of a conversation of a Russian soldier, who talks about the murder of about 400 people in Kreminna, Luhansk Oblast, including women and children.
During a conversation with a woman he calls “granny”, the Russian war criminal brags that they went “on an assault” that night.
“Today, when we came in, we started whacking civilians and all the f***ers, just whacking everyone, just shelling the holy f*** out of them,” the soldier says.

“Granny, I’m telling you, we popped at least 400 people at night. ... We also have machine gunners, and they mowed down everyone: children, women, men, locals, non-locals. They just mowed everybody down. We went into the houses and just shot them, we were just sick of everything. We were just given an order - guys, take Kreminna - and we just mowed it all down, gran.”
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine assured that there will be a just retribution for every war crime committed against Ukraine.
At the end of April 2023, Ukraine’s spy chief Kyrylo Budanov promised that Russians who committed war crimes or crimes against humanity in Ukraine would be found and destroyed in any part of the world.

Ukrainian forces down Russian Su-35 fighter jet, but then removed announcement on social media
UKRAINSKA PRAVDA
MONDAY, 22 MAY 2023, 00:23
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/05/22/7403221/
On the evening of 21 May, Ukraine’s air defence forces shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet.
Subsequently, Pletenchuk removed the message about the downing of the Russian Su-35 fighter by air defence forces from the social network.
SOURCE: Dmytro Pletenchuk, Head of the Kherson Defence Forces press service, on Facebook
QUOTE: “The spectacle of the ‘peerless’ Su-35 being downed was incredible. Air defence is power!”
DETAILS: As of now, the Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not officially confirmed the downing of a Russian fighter jet.
REFERENCE: The Su-35 is a fourth-generation Russian multi-purpose fighter. The aircraft was developed at the Sukhoi State Design Bureau and is an improved version of the Su-27.
Ukraine has put up a good fight. They defended a city with more underground passages than any other place in this war. But it is finished there.
Ukraine still possesses a Hugh PRoganda Arm and it is in full force pumping out BS.
Soon Ukraine will face not only the Wagner’s but the additional 400k or 500k fresh Russian Regular Combined Arms Forces.
We shall see Biden eventually offer Ukraine an Aircraft Carrier flotilla... only to be reminded he is not really president.

Even if it's that many, they're conscripts. Right now they have artillery, drones and missiles. That's about it. They used up all of Wagner convict troops in Bakhmut. They were liken Jihadists in the ISIS and you're not going to see the Russian military fight like that.
True, U.S. broken borders.

The anticipated assault will likely be an important test for Ukraine as it looks to show that it can make significant battlefield gains using the weapons it has obtained from the West after months of stalemate.
The commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, Colonel General Oleksandr, declared on Sunday that Ukrainian soldiers are encircling the eastern city.
Ukrainian troops are progressing in the suburban areas on the flanks of the eastern city that Russia claimed to have captured, according to Deputy Defence Minister Hanna.
It now serves as a prime example of tenacious, resolute resistance for Ukraine. Some of the bloodiest fighting to take place in the city since Russia’s invasion
On the other hand, Russia requires a victory. Russian forces suffered a string of humiliating losses after making initial gains in the first months of their full-scale invasion before an effective Ukrainian counteroffensive was able to reclaim large portions of the lost ground.
The commander of Ukraine’s ground forces revealed on Sunday that he had paid thanks to defenders at frontline positions close to the besieged eastern city.
He also stated in a Telegram post that Ukrainian forces were advancing around the edges of the destroyed city.
The conflict evolved into a trench war, with the front stabilising for about half a year after the Ukrainian armed forces substantially forced the Russians back inside the Kharkiv as well as Kherson areas last autumn, advancing by 30 to 50 miles and liberating several important cities.
The relatively small town of Bakhmut is still under attack by Russian mercenaries and troops, many of whom are reserve soldiers. Overall, they are experiencing severe setbacks and having scant success.
Instead, Ukraine has made preparations for the entire 2023 campaign by receiving progressively more financial and military support from the West and by concluding key agreements with NATO nations that include the provision of battle weapons, howitzer systems, missile systems, and ammunition.

Yeah, that's the ticket!
I was thinking there are at least two situations that can lead a military to carry out an offensive. In some cases a country sees that it is loosing and must at before the situation deteriorates further. Germany’s battle of the bulge or the Confederate Pennsylvania offensives might be of this type. In other cases a country has forces that it doesn’t need for its defense and can launch an attack. I think this is the situation Ukraine enjoys.
Ukraine has the 12 or 13 armored brigades in reserve we’ve all heard about and Ukraine has additional forces in the pipeline. It can afford to attack now and can expect to have additional forces coming down the pipeline.
