PRESIDENT Volodymyr ­Zelensky fought back tears as he visited the town of Bucha where Vladimir Putin’s troops have been accused of butchering civilians and burying them in mass graves.

The Ukrainian leader, who was visibly emotional, was flanked by security as he vowed to ensure that the “war crimes” committed by Russian soldiers on his country’s soil were “the last such evil on Earth”.

Harrowing pictures from the city, to the north-west of the capital Kyiv, showed the bodies of civilians scattered in the road and in shallow graves — many with bound hands and signs of torture.

Some of them, from the wounds they had suffered, had been shot from close range.

I’m so sorry for you and your family. I will pray for them as I have been praying for all the victims of this war.

There are a lot of nasty old codgers on this site who argue to occupy their time, coupled with a few propagandists from both sides pushing agendas. It makes for an ugly combination.

I am against the corrupt governments of both sides and believe very little of what the media puts out. But this war is an undeniable human tragedy, and too many have lost sight of that because they are busy name-calling and arguing for sport.

So what? That doesn’t give Putin the right to slaughter innocent civilians.

It's well-known that the Ukrainian government/military was bombing Donbas starting in 2014. Those two areas want to be independent of Ukraine, and asked for protection from Russia. Why would Russia suddenly start killing the people that asked him for protection?

[wastedyears]

What Russian deserters?

[wastedyears]

What logic? (as an aside, I wish the site had the ability to auto-quote so people know what you’re responding to)

Cloning and teleportation?

[Georgia Girl 2]

I thought he was kicking Russian zzz?

[FLT-bird]

Because Russia knows the Nazi Azov Batallion did it and the UN will find that quickly. Why do you think the UK immediately blocked it?

[Jewbacca]

Ok, Ivan.

Have fun.

[Eagles6]

I am not a liar.

There is 1 batallion named Azov.

You are a Russian troll.

I asked you to stop posting to me.

[wastedyears]

There’s one group named Azov Battalion, and there are multiple neo-Nazi groups in the Ukrainian military.

[wastedyears]

It’s sad you believe the media propaganda.

[Eagles6]

That appears legitimate, but how old and widespread?

Distasteful, as it is, what does it have to do with the invasion or what, apparently, happened in Bucha?

What neo nazi actions have they taken?

[Eagles6]

How many?

Are you an expert on the individual political leanings of each member of the Ukrainian military?

What does it have to do with anything?

[DownInFlames]

I believe Lenns is no more.

[Paladin2]

Microbes got him?

[Sir_Humphrey]

Russian propaganda. That didn’t give Putin the right to slaughter people in Western Ukraine

[nonliberal]

My guess is the Azov guys took these people out as a false flag.

[nonliberal]

Yes. The globalists are evil and anything that stops them is worth it.

[Jewbacca]

Funny, as you are actually a useful idiot for the globalist.

[Jewbacca]

Oh Noes! Chevrolets are Nazis!
