The Ukrainian civilians woke long before dawn in the bitter cold, lined up for the single toilet and were loaded at gunpoint into the livestock trailer. They spent the next 12 hours or more digging trenches on the front lines for Russian soldiers.

Nearby, in the occupied region of Zaporizhzhia, other Ukrainian civilians dug mass graves into the frozen ground for fellow prisoners who had not survived. One man who refused to dig was shot on the spot — yet another body for the grave.
Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are being detained across Russia and the Ukrainian territories it occupies, in centers ranging from brand-new wings in Russian prisons to clammy basements. Most have no status under Russian law.
And Russia is planning to hold possibly thousands more. A Russian government document obtained by The Associated Press dating to January outlined plans to create 25 new prison colonies and six other detention centers in occupied Ukraine by 2026.
In addition, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree in May allowing Russia to send people from territories with martial law, which includes all of occupied Ukraine, to those without, such as Russia. This makes it easier to deport Ukrainians who resist Russian occupation deep into Russia indefinitely, which has happened in multiple cases documented by the AP.
Many civilians are picked up for alleged transgressions as minor as speaking Ukrainian or simply being a young man in an occupied region, and are often held without charge. Others are charged as terrorists, combatants, or people who “resist the special military operation.” Hundreds are used for slave labor by Russia’s military, for digging trenches and other fortifications, as well as mass graves.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this laughable disinfo. They’re really outdoing themselves over at the media masters’ feeding trough with this shovel full.
Back in Stalin’s time much of my wife’s extended Ukrainian family was sent to Solovoki Island near the Artic Circle in the White Sea. History is repeating itself as the Russians are still moving populations around. The are shipping laborers from the Russian far east to the Donbas and Ukrainian students are being sent into Russia for sequestered brainwashing.
Russia is a gulag nation.
Snake, tell us all about the Russians bayoneting Ukrainian babies.
Makes for a great AP story where they probably got it through 5th hand information from a Ukrainian propaganda website.
AP.. Another Possibility.
It’s surprising how often that sort of thing happens. In WW2 this was a prevalent story, carried by escaped POWs and others from the Philippines. The US press didn’t run it at the time, as well as what they considered the more lurid stories of treatment of POWs, etc. It was likely to be seen as propaganda.
It all turned out to be true, in spades.
It’s entirely likely. Hardly impossible.
The Russians, as the British say, have “form” here. And it goes back to Tsarist
We will find out after this war.
What’s going on? I thought Timber Rattler got the zot last week.
American taxpayers are now paying for social security in Ukraine.
These are benefits that the american people do NOT get.
Like free healthcare.
These payments will continue for 10+ years as the Ukrainian economy/tax income is ruined.

No idea. Ask him, not me.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR SHILLING FOR MASS MURDERING KGB LUNATIC PUTIN.
Part of cash assistance to Ukraine.
The EU pays a lot more in financial support to Ukraine, to support its government budget.
These are benefits the American people DO get (I do, my wife does) where did that line come from?
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT SHILLING FOR SOROS AND OBAMA! Geesh!
Go back to Spain and pitch your war. Americans have had enough.
Link please.
They don’t want Ukrainians surrendering to The Russians so here’s the story they print. This story may be an indication that Ukrainians are starting to surrender in greater numbers. Do you blame them?
“Sometimes They Come Back”.
It is unfortunate.
I sent you the link to the doc weeks ago.
Of course you didn’t bother to look back then.
