So, the Russian claim that they have put literal Nazis in their POW internment camps is true...

And more horrible news. "DNR" sources report that  "the Ukrainian army shelled POW camp to kill witnesses of their crimes killing ~50 POWs", while this kind of mistake is remotely possible I can bet that this is just a "creative" way to kill POWs

It is confirmed now...

Surrendering to Russians is a worse option than saving the last bullet for yourself. You will be tortured and then killed anyways.

PS. Do not seek the video, do not watch it. SERIOUSLY, DON'T. Some screenshots I glanced over are enough to damage your sanity.

Damn, I literally had seen the video as soon as it dropped on reddit. Really wish I hadn't.

The guy who did the act is apparently a part of one of the Asian minorities in Russia, a Kalmykian. I wonder why he did this. Maybe in somesort of maligned effort to prove himself to his fellow Russian soldiers/wider Russia society?
Because a lot of Kalmyks are Russified since Soviet times. Unfortunately.

It made me think, what would I require to believe that some new Russia is actually, honestly, really trying to move away from the genocidal and imperialistic mentality?

My answer is... a major rewrite of Russian history textbooks and active propaganda of a more accurate version of history in media and art. And it is something that won't happen.
For the record, I would. I would also physically repress the far-right. The Nazi gangs would be arrested and detained indefinitely, in intentionally terrible conditions. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that to United Russia as it's too big. But I would expose absolutely all of the dirty shit they did on state TV, and even forge a few documents to add to that. Sweet revenge.

. But knowing Russians and their attention to detail we may find that it was shelled with something like 10KM max range

I gave them too much credit. Looks like they just blew up the barracks from within and brought some rusty missile fragments from elsewhere as proof.


Also, look at this wonderful twit from the Russian embassy in London - https://twitter.com/RussianEmbassy/status/1553093117712162828

Are you really telling me that Russia blew up their own barracks?

Or is that the POW camp?

It is a POW camp. They executed 50+ Ukrainian POWs, mostly from the Azov regiment.

Of course, there are very good reasons to suspect that they were dead even before it was blown up.

Here is a quite informative Twitter thread - https://twitter.com/noclador/status/1553346547739410432

Not directly Ukraine-related, but Serbia is a de-facto Russian ally so...

Vladimir Djukanovic, an MP in Serbia’s National Assembly from the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), wrote on Twitter that he believes Serbia might be forced to engage in the “denazification” of the Balkans

Someone should explain Serbs that, unlike Russians, they have no nukes and acting like Russia is a very unwise idea.

It's Ok. You never ever get any problems when Serbian nationalists decide to attack people... right?

Finally posting to watch since it seems a lot more actual info on how the war is going gets posted here than on the proper thread for tracking it, weh.

Side note since this is the thread for responses, given Putin's tactic for his plan of Ukranian genocide, blowing up their own concentration camp or whatever they planned to use that place for to make a false-flag claim seems...put mildly, immensely idiotic of them. :v

It appears that Djukanovic is the party's designated idiot and has a history of blabbering on about stupid shit with nothing happening in the end.

As for the shooting incident, it is looking like it was Bosnians Serbs from a fairly small semi-insurrectionist group shooting at Bosnian Bonsians, with Serbian Serbs being completely uninvolved. NATO peacekeepers are already in the process of deescalating the situation.

Which makes sense. If they got into a shooting fight with NATO peacekeepers again, Serbia's military might last five minutes. Might.
