BULLET HOLES | An investigation into Russia's systemic killings of Ukrainian children

Дякую за цю роботу! Світ має знати, хто такі росіяни

[@Ярослава-в9ш]

Oleksandra Matviichuk has a very good point that russia in its long history has never, not once, been held accountable for what they've done, and it only fuels their blood thirst further. Even in the last thirty years they have a long blood trace behind them starting in Transnistria through Georgia through Chechnia through Syria all the way to Ukraine. Yet, it was never enough for the world to forsake their illusion about democratic russia and make them pay. For decades they remained a "respectable" player in the world politics. It's time for us all to face the obvious: the current world order can't establish peace; the UN doesn't work; and russia is a major threat to everybody. In the 90s these were Chechen children. Today they are Ukrainian. Tomorrow they can be yours.

[@xNeverm1ndx]

Well said.

[@sensitiveissues3671]

I absolutely agree with you and that's why all countries must continue to support Ukraine. Russia must not get away with this.

[@ridvanpeshkopia8751]

But Russia has a nice track record od holding the Nazi accountable for both their crimes and propaganda. This time around is no different.

[@sforza209]

Don’t forget about Africa. I can’t even begin to imagine the atrocities they committed there.

[@madalinaanton3253]

We must never forgive Russia for this until they repent in tears. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@leav388]

Russia will not repent. Russia is unforgiveable.

[@Jesusismyguide1]

We must keep helping Ukraine. The monster cannot win! Glory to Ukraine from an American who has grown to love the Ukrainian people for who they are who they continue to be, especially free from Russian oppression and violence.

@@Jesusismyguide1 what do you say to your pro Putin Christian friends.

[@Jesusismyguide1]

@@ARSONXBELLA I just tell them where I am coming from in regards to Putin. I have lost many friends and family because of not being quiet of what I believe in. If they won’t listen I walk away. Too many people don’t want to discuss important subjects like Ukraine and Putin. All they are thinking about is the money we are spending on Ukraine. They don’t understand that something’s are worth the money. Like people and democracy! Some of them are die hard republicans who support republicans no matter who the candidate is. Many politicians and conservative talk show hosts appear to be pro Putin. Insane isn’t it?

[@empresspyra]

correction: "war crimes against humanity"

[@stefan92596]

@@AnthonyCarroll-ue3uv Putin's army (Colonel Azatbek Omurbekov's soldiers) massacred more than 500 Ukrainian civilians in March 2022 in Bucha before they were repulsed out of Bucha on 2nd of April. There are satellite images of Ukrainian massacred civilians lying on roads near the Russian soldiers positions- google "Bucha Killings" satellite images of bodies site contradicts Russian claims". This War Crimes show that Putin wanted to destroy Ukraine completely, attacking Kyiv in the Battle of Kyiv (2022) and Kharkiv. Putin decorated Col. Omurbekov with "Hero of Russia" medal for his actions in Bucha, even after the United Nations Courts condemned the Russian soldiers' war crimes

Living in New Zealand in peace , and knowing what is happening in Ukraine, and hearing these personal stories, my heart breaks. ….. it is impossible to feel truly happy these days….. maybe feel a joy at times , but no … not happiness!!! Now Israel is under attack too , I wonder about the mentality of these aggressors! I hope the Ukranian people know that we stand with them , have them in our thoughts every day, follow their progress in the war…..and know they will be victorious!

[@lauravitale8007]

Thank you for your great work on this film and your investigation into other Russian war crimes. I'm a Lithuanian-American who grew up hearing my refugee Lithuanian parents' horror stories about Russia's brutal occupation of the Baltics during WW2. Russia has been a terrorist state since it was founded by the Mongols in 1240. Corruption, cruelty, and violence have reigned supreme there ever since. May they face accountability and severe punishment for their most recent crimes in Ukraine.

[@kyivindependent]

Thank you for watching. Yes, we hope that shedding light at those crimes will help to punish the perpetrators.

This is why we have to keep supporting Ukraine until they defeat Russia

[@divinewind6767]

The least we should do is give them everything they ask for immediately, ultimately we should be there standing shoulder to shoulder with them to give Russia such a beating they'll never want to pick up arms against anyone ever again. There is no negotiating with Putin now, it's way beyond that but a good percentage of the Russian people are the same as him too, so there's no other way but to beat them hard, so hard they never forget. Peaceful skies, Slava Ukraini!!

The level of pain is hard to express....

[@anyalauchlan2514]

Thank you for making this film, that must be very difficult to talk, to ask questions, to hear the heartbreaking stories of children killed by the criminal, ever lying regime that incites it's invading troops to commit murders in broad daylight and helps them to get away unpunished. There should be a much bigger outcry in the civilised democratic world against such barbarity! United Nations have no right to allow that terrorist country, calling itself Russia (should be ruZZia, for it's Nazism and ruscism), to sit and even preside on the Security Council, as no child is secure around that country borders, as their policy is genocide.

[@CollectiveWest1]

Thank you from the UK for this important and touching report. Your publication is a good example of journalism. It must be so hard for you to do your jobs, to talk about the most terrible events. Russia is a lying, depraved, terrorist state - their propagandists and the 'useless idiot' cheerleaders outside Russia are accomplices in murder and genocide. Russians glorify the most terrible criminals such as Prigozhin and his horde. As you say, brutality is a part of Russian culture, especially in their army. Each child in this film was beautiful and amazing in their own unique way, just like other children known to all of us outside Ukraine. Vladik. Katerina. Mikhailo. Each one is a heartbreaking loss for their family, friends and country. Every person murdered by the Russian army cannot be replaced. The children had their whole lives ahead of them. The awful news we hear of the crimes of Russia are not statistics. Ukraine will win against the Russian killers.

[@IndeyUA]

Thank you for support and understanding ❤️ Hi from Kharkiv. I live there with my newborn son, my husband has gone to the Ukrainian armed forces to defend us. My mother's house was destroyed by russian missiles. I'm partly ethnic russian and I hate citizens of russian country. I have relatives in russia and know that our deaths means nothing for them, they support their state and are responsable for this war. In Ukraine we all believe, we all are waiting only for our winning to be in safety

[@filipsolberg2530]

I have no words to offer and that is unusual for me. This should be shown on the BBC and all other major news platforms. I do agree with the guy who lost his daughter that a special clause should be made that would allow the death penalty for any convicted ruZZian. Only then will they possibly understand impunity does not work and there vile culture of atrocities will be punished.

Simply heart breaking. we all learned about ww2. And this is still happening today 2023. Where are we going as a people?

[@GeneralulTouareg]

I don't understand how you can be called a human being and support this kind of ruzzian agression and behaviour, in the name of what? For a demented old man not to lose power and priviledges? What happens now in Ukraine has happened again in the past, in WW2 ruZia was as much as an agressor as the austrian painter's followers, the world forgets how both powers invaded Poland and wanted to split the free world.

[@nikaaaaaa010]

in history lessons, they don't tell that not only Germany but also the Soviet Union were to blame for the Second World War. They know that they are winners and think that everything is allowed to them + propaganda.

[@draconyster]

[@cougsjohnson1]

This is exactly what Germany did to the Soviets in World War 2. They even have a famous movie called "Come and See". I can't even begin to understand how this type of behavior could be allowed after years of speaking out against these same types of atrocities. Anyone who commits a War Crime from any Country, should be found and punished.

[@Mr7ich7]

Because the soviet union was just as bad as nazi Germany, however they got to write their own history books. Now Russia is following into soviet footsteps.

[@shaiaheyes2c41]

This is exactly what the Soviets did to the Germans and every other peoples of their lands they invaded and occupied.

[@fematrailer]

Well, yeah, they were allies at the beginning of the war. The Soviet Union's plan was to do the same thing Germany did all across Europe and North Africa. The only reason why they fought against Germany at all was because Germany double-crossed them. If things had gone to Stalin's original plan, they would've been on the same side as Germany. The Soviet Union fought against fascists because the fascists rejected them, they were never truly "anti-facist."

[@nadiiaangelina8888]

All our Ukrainian great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers said that there were many good Germans. But the russians were always 100 times tougher than the Germans. The majority of Ukrainian families who have experienced the bloodthirstiness of russian inhumans for 6 generations know this!

They get an orgasm from it! Perhaps this is one thing that brings them joy when someone else will feel worse than they do! The conclusion for the entire period of the full-scale invasion, when the russians write to me by the thousands and the same thing, that I must be destroyed, I cannot exist in the same way as Ukraine!
