The USA started this war. They have been using Ukraine as a giant research hub for awhile. Look at the many research projects that they did in Ukraine, like bioweapons and weapon technology. Biden and his family have a huge investment in it, which is why his focus was on Ukraine for most of his presidency.

[@williamyoung9401]

Sterilizing this war with black body bags and censoring the dead is why war continues. If everyone saw the true horrors of war, we would demand it be stopped. Show the blood. Show the rot. Show the flies. Show the smell. Not because it's fun. Because it's necessary; to learn!

[@palaginoleg4761]

Russia can stop it just by walk away from Ukraine back to their land. Ukraine cannot stop this war. The only way for Ukraine to stop this nightmare is to defeat evil. And we will! Thanks to all our allies for their invaluable support!

@MelloWattz Sure thing, Ivan.

[@netiturtle]

@MelloWattz "Funny" is how the orcs use Donbass as a talking point against Ukraine. Without Putin's Russia, there would have been no war, no deaths, no destruction. But Ukraine borders Russia, a curse for nearly every country it borders. Russia that used its propaganda to rile up the people, sent the leaders, the weapons and heavy equipment, officers, assisted with troops. Over 2500 Russian regular troops have been identified by photos alone, unverified number is going to be bigger. They paid the wages. Russia wanted this war, using the Russian speakers as sacrificial tools in name of protecting them. How much have the Russian speakers suffered, how many died in Donbass on both sides of the front prior to invasion, and now in eastern cities of Ukraine. Mariupol was almost entirely Russian speaking town and yet you bombed it almost as bad as Aleppo. All for the bloated midget to feel himself as Peter the Great. It surely is not for the people, Russia brings nothing but poverty, corruption, stripping of civil rights

[@justmyopinion9883]

Thank you, Frontline. This is a heartbreaking documentary, hard to watch some parts of it. I pray the Ukrainian people will soon have peace.

[@williamyoung9401]

The Ukrainian people are going to need a lot more than prayers to have peace.

[@Kinkle_Z]

The Ukrainians are being used as cannon fodder for this US proxy war against Russia. Anyone hoping for the best for the people of Ukraine would demand their government abide by the Minsk agreement which they signed, stop sending heavy weapons that are killing Ukrainians and seek diplomacy immediately.

In the execution of the 8 men, lined up against the HQ, there was a 9th man that was shot in his side chest and flipped down like he was dead and held his breath as others that were still moving, got a bullet to their heads. He kept still, and played dead until they walked away. He found a house just down the block and was getting patched up when the Russians came to the house and saw him. It was a different group of Russians and they thought he was shot in the confusing of their initial push into the town and brought him to the hospital to get patched up and he survived to tell the tale!

Since then she has found out that her house has been completely destroyed, so she has no home to go back to even if the war does end. And recently she found out her husband had been killed fighting to defend their homeland.

As a veteran I am disgusted at our response. Lets get this straight we liberate and rebuild Afghanistan not once but twice, training their army just to watch them ditch their weapons and run home when isis (the first time) and then the taliban (the second time) take over. We defended that shit hole of a country for 2 decades even though their own citizens couldn't be bothered to defend their own country. And lets not even mention Iraq. Yet when it comes to a country like Ukraine who's actually willing to defend their land and believes in law and order we just act as glorified cheerleaders and hand them a check. Yup our priorities are so backwards I can't even.

@@Power_to_the_people567 The US can stop this war anytime. It does not need to be Russia. I never was in favor of US involvement. The reason the US put the lensky into power was to use the Ukraine against Russia because the US does not like the Russian attitude toward the new world order. Good question.

Putin SHOULD be held accountable for all the lives lost!!!!!

[@mikekogan4476]

Evil. Pure simple evil. Those who gave orders. Those who pulled triggers. Those who saw did nothing. Those who did not see but used victims cell phones. Those who stole, berated, intimidated, laughed or simply turned away from watching. All, every single one, no matter rank, station, religion, age, education or excuse are to held to count by the people of Ukraine. And their ultimate fate for those actions against the residents of Ukraine whether direct, indirect or simple indifference to those actions must be decided by those same people if justice is to be had for the innocent victims of these atrocities. To escape Justice for these crimes I fear would be just another atrocity against the innocent.

I hope Frontline will be able to investigate the fate of thousands of Ukrainian children. They were separated and forcibly removed to RuZZia. My whole childhood I have been reading about WWII. My grandma survived deportation to Germany and forced labour. I will never forget her stories. Deeply grateful to Frontline team for the real journalism. Slava Ukraine!

[@kalinaralov9919]

this video brought me back then, when all the world watched, frozen and stunned, and shaken the nightmarish cityscape of bucha. i remember myself absolutely unable to do anything, except constantly following the news and crying. i could not work, could not eat, could not sleep. and was unable to tear myself away from this hellish delirium. and... oh, those poor, poor mothers... crying hopelessly for their lost babies... they really broke my heart... all people must see this. all people must witness those mothers' tears... because maybe even more stunning and despicable, and twisted... is the experience of listening to someone excusing and reasoning, and finding sense in this russian nightmare.

[@ItsaRomethingeveryday]

Put politics aside, and world views, what this boils down to, is how far of the absolute deep end does a persons moral compass have to be off, to carelessly take and destroy lives, knowing full well why they are doing is morally very wrong, the Ukrainians are defending there nation so what they do against Russia invaders is justified, what Russians are doing is a crime against humanity, an absolute atrocity, it's very wrong, heartbreaking and most of all it's extremely disturbing to think Russia thinks killing torture is business as usual, well it's not, God will show no mercy for you blackened souls, May the invaders face a lifetime of torture in hell, the only place left for them now, it breaks my heart as a human being what's happening in Ukraine, Russia needs to have their veto power suspended indefinitely, as well as China

[@mikelarry2869]

No it comes down to how far will the world let this go we all can stand up but we refuse we all sit here and say kind words but the reality it starts with every single one of us.

All these "people" who committed war crimes should be issued an arrest warrant by the Interpol. Believe it or not but they freely go to vacations abroad because there are no sanctions whatsoever against them. For instance, Bellingcat found "people" who carried out the recent artillery strike on the Ukrainian infrastructure and some of them have recently returned from a vacation abroad.
