Intelligence officials have cited multiple instances in which Russian troops received direct orders to kill prisoners of war. According to HUR, these acts are not isolated incidents but part of a deliberate and systematic policy of the Russian leadership.

This pattern of war crimes has also been confirmed by the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine. In a report released on March 19, the commission found a growing number of cases in which Russian forces deliberately killed or maimed Ukrainian soldiers who had surrendered or attempted to surrender.

Just a thought... How about we keep feeding $$$ and resources to Ukraine, so they can grind the russian meat grinder into hamburger, and continue drone attacking until every piece of the russian upper eschelon is completely disintegrated? I'm truly sorry for all the russian citizens that have been caught up in this, just as I'm horrified at the current US administration dismantling the very government we've spent 200+ years of blood sweat and tears creating. The only way out of this situation is to smash the fascists, yet again. Only much more thoroughly this time.

Just a thought, how about we remember that you're talking about sacrificing Ukrainian lives. Fight for Ukraine to win, and quick.

In case I'm wasn't being clear, Ukraine must win, and quickly. For the sake of Ukraine, Europe, and indeed the world.

The issue is that US and EU trickled and support and Ukraine lost initiative. It 3+ years in, the materiel is still being trickled.

Ukraine is unwilling being ground into nothing. It seems like they will keep fighting until proper support comes or they are all dead.

Between blind support for Israeli genocide and link dick support for Ukraine, the rules based international world order is just a clown exercise. Prolly always has been but propaganda can no longer maintain the image of propriety.
