UP to 40,000 Ukrainians have been snatched from besieged cities and forced into Russian slave labour in a war crime revealed by The Sun today.
Sergei Orlov, deputy mayor of devastated city Mariupol, spoke exclusively from his bunker yesterday to reveal the plight of civilians hauled into enemy territory.
And he said hundreds of children are now lost and alone in the clutches of ruthless Russian troops after being forced away from their families.
Mr Orlov told the Sun: “Russian troops are bursting into cellars and basements where our people are hiding like frightened mice and telling them: ‘You have 15 minutes to leave.’
“If they refuse to come out the buildings are destroyed, leaving families entombed.
"We have made contact with people who have told us what is happening — they are being taken off to Russia to work for the state in depressed areas.

Right but Mariupol was ethnic Russian. Fact.
Still with that?
Putin’s Russia is a Terrorist State invading a Free Country and murdering civilians.
Post your deranged pos opinions supporting Al Qaeda here and see how long it takes the FBI to knock on your door.
Heck - it might get real cold next week, after March 31st.

Russia Suffers Blow as Germany Strikes Natural Gas Deal With Qatar

Whoopsie! The boys at The Duran say that the Qataris don't know what the Germans are talking about.
You are like a chimpanzee flinging crap at the zoo.
What are you doing at the zoo?
Watching an enraged kiryandil fling crap at people, from a safe distance.
Even his "insults" smell like soy...
But but but.. Nato wars are righteous wars. Or so the neocon loonies on FR tell me
Regarding the date I signed up. Have you ever heard of the latin “non sequitur”. I’d say logic is a bit too deep for you though by the sound of it
So Mariupol has “ethnic Russians” but the Russian Army flattened it anyway.
I’m not sure that “non sequitor” is quite the right choice of words. It is rather more “interesting coincidence” that you who are consistently posting pro Putin comments singed up the same year that oil and gas reserves were discovered in the 3 places that have gotten the most attention from Russian jack boots. Putin needed a couple of years to organize his takeover of Crimea, and I remember seeing the reports of mercenaries from Russia moving into the Donbass to carry on their warfare back in 2014.
What is most astonishing is the fact that so little has been mentioned about the whole Ukraine has petroleum reserves issue, and the places where they are constitute the precise main target of Putin’s massive attacks. He does not care about preserving the cities which he would if he was doing it for the poor ethnic Russians who are being treated so meanly by those nasty Ukrainians. Of course he does not care, what he wants is safely stored under ground. The heck with Ukrainian human beings. And this lack of humanity is reflected in your consistently pro Putin posts. So, while there is no way I can prove you are a Russian cyber plant, or merely a modern “fellow traveler”, your date of FR arrival is a curious coincidence. And your support of the Butcher of Moscow an insult to patriotic FReepers and Putin’s helpless Ukrainian victims.
This Feb. 2019 Forbes article clearly defines the great loss to Ukraine caused by Putin’s 2014 seizure of Crimea. Even if a plebecite should prove the people of Crimea prefer a totalitarian corruption ridden Russia to a corruption ridden Ukraine, at the very least the large “exclusion zone” shown in this article’s map should be reopened to Ukriane’s use and control regarding resources. An excellent sanction against Putin’s greed and cruelty.
See my Comment #112 which explains the shabby treatment of Mariupol.
You make a strong case for the rarely mentioned oil motive.
I can assure you my ‘showing up’ in 2012 had no connection with oil and gas discoveries in Ukraine or anywhere else for that matter. I am not pro Putin. Have mentioned on occasions that I don’t think he is a communist, that he is a thug Having said that , now that the Russkies are in Ukraine I actually have no problem with the Russian milititary destroying Ukrainian nazi zealots in the territory they plan to annex. Same way I have no prob with Israel invading Gaza or Lebanon to destroy islamonazis there. Pre emptively if need be.
The group will today publish a list of those snatched, demanding their immediate release. It follows reports confirmed by the UN of at least 36 civilians being abducted and detained.
So at least 36 citizens have been abducted and detaines, quite a bit less than what the rest of the report shows.
THis piece has the smell of fake news to me......
So once again it looks like the Azov Nazis doing all the damage with the Russian military getting the blame.
Look at the Azov Natural Gas Preserves region, and then look at Russia’s
Occupation Map. He has captured all the land mass of the preserve and
all the access land to the underwater portion of that preserve.
Mariopol happens to be smack dab in the middle of it. All the shoreline of
the Azov Sea West to just short of Odessa and then out to sea is the massive
Azov Natural Gas Preserve.
Ukraine constituted a potential threat to Russia’s natural gas business.
Of course he does not care, what he wants is safely stored under ground.
***That’s sadly profound.
