So much needless suffering because of Uncle Vlad, the bad neighbour. Thank you to the brave protectors of innocent children.

[@Fin4L6are]

it's not him, 90% of russians agree with him and justify their actions by any means

[@darnit1944]

Slight correction, Vlad is a nickname for Vladislav, not Vladimir.

[@curiousmonster8221]

No mention here that parents in Kherson were also trying to get their children to safety to the Russian side. They got shot at & arrested by your "democratic" Ukraine friends.

[@darnit1944]

@@curiousmonster8221 That's funny. It was Russia who executed civilians in mass graves like Bucha, Kherson, and more liberated territories. The only times Ukraine violated international law is when they detained civilians suspected of collaboration. However this is just small scale. Now, how about you show evidence of said civilian execution in Kherson.

[@curiousmonster8221]

It's not funny at all. Look it up yourself !!! You might learn about the disgusting regime you are supporting. As for Bucha - the people killed died AFTER the Russians withdrew. Your so called collaborators - they swapped fresh local produce for dried army rations. Thier bodies were all over the streets, not in mass graves. Most of Ukraine is full of Russian speakers - that is thier "crime" and they don't want to be genocided. @@darnit1944

[@stevenwild39]

Russian crimes against humanity really know no bounds.

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

More coverage about Ukraine please. A lot of media outlets aren't reporting about Ukraine as much anymore. Media needs to be focusing on what's going on in Ukraine and how much of a threat Russia remains, especially now with Putin getting more support from countries like UAE. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

[@curiousmonster8221]

They have stopped reporting because Adolf Zelensky and his SS machine are dragging unwilling people off the street & sending them away on a one way trip to the front line to die. Women & boys are sent too!!! Not what naieve folk like yourself want to hear. A Russian threat to take over the world is more scaremongering garbage to give away ever more $BILLIONS$ to a lost cause created by NATO.

What children? - the ones coming over the US / Mexico border that disappear. Russians don't abduct children. They evacuate them to a safer areas - just like normal people do when children are in danger.

I don't support corrupt Neo Nazi regimes. I think you should look up a few things like Azov battalion & the nine years of artillery shells fired at cities in Donbas.

What surprise the Red Cross failed to evacuate people.

[@natalieturko4808]

Russia doesn't allow the Red Cross to see the atrocities they are committing. They don't allow the Red Cross to see Ukrainian POWs.
