Apparently Amnesty International is accusing Ukraine

And just like that Patnet is in love with Amnesty International which was previously universally despised and derided.

Here, let me cure you of this momentary weakness:

kyiv, ukraine —

Amnesty International on Monday accused Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, saying attacks on Kharkiv, many using banned cluster bombs, had killed hundreds of civilians.

"The repeated bombardments of residential neighborhoods in Kharkiv are indiscriminate attacks which killed and injured hundreds of civilians, and as such constitute war crimes," the rights group said in a report on Ukraine's second-largest city.

"This is true both for the strikes carried out using cluster (munitions) as well as those conducted using other types of unguided rockets and unguided artillery shells," it said.

"The continued use of such inaccurate explosive weapons in populated civilian areas, in the knowledge that they are repeatedly causing large numbers of civilian casualties, may even amount to directing attacks against the civilian population."

Bombs and land mines

Amnesty said it had uncovered proof in Kharkiv of the repeated use by Russian forces of 9N210 and 9N235 cluster bombs and scatterable land mines, all of which are banned under international conventions.

Cluster bombs release dozens of bomblets or grenades in mid-air, scattering them indiscriminately over hundreds of square meters (yards).

Scatterable land mines combine "the worst possible attributes of cluster munitions and antipersonnel land mines," Amnesty said.

Unguided artillery shells have a margin of error of over 100 meters.

The report, entitled "Anyone Can Die At Any Time," details how Russian forces began targeting civilian areas of Kharkiv on the first day of the invasion on February 24.

The "relentless" shelling continued for two months, wreaking "wholesale destruction" on the city of 1.5 million.

"People have been killed in their homes and in the streets, in playgrounds and in cemeteries, while queueing for humanitarian aid, or shopping for food and medicine," said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International's senior crisis response adviser.

"The repeated use of widely banned cluster munitions is shocking, and a further indication of utter disregard for civilian lives.

"The Russian forces responsible for these horrific attacks must be held accountable."

Feel better now?

I'm sure you do, now that you've pulled news from the same government propaganda outlets that told us Covid was deadly, the shots were safe, Biden won the election, there's no economic recession, and Epstein is an upstanding business guy.

You should try reading antiwar.com sometime. Could really balance your perspective.

It's the same Amnesty International, isn't it? You can get their statements directly from their website: https://www.amnesty.org/

Now what? Do we still love AI, or not anymore? =))

https://www.occrp.org/en/the-pandora-papers/pandora-papers-reveal-offshore-holdings-of-ukrainian-president-and-his-inner-circle

Actor Volodymyr Zelensky stormed to the Ukrainian presidency in 2019 on a wave of public anger against the country’s political class, including previous leaders who used secret companies to stash their wealth overseas.

Now, leaked documents prove that Zelensky and his inner circle have had their own network of offshore companies. Two belonging to the president’s partners were used to buy expensive property in London. ...

The documents also show that just before he was elected, he gifted his stake in a key offshore company, the British Virgin Islands-registered Maltex Multicapital Corp., to his business partner — soon to be his top presidential aide. And in spite of giving up his shares, the documents show that an arrangement was soon made that would allow the offshore to keep paying dividends to a company that now belongs to his wife.

With no link, I just assumed you were following the rhetoric train the propaganda outlets have been pushing since day one.

If we're agreeing both sides don't give a shit about the citizenry, that's all that matters. And I think that's Amnesty's point.

Three Large American Multinationals Bought 17 Million Hectares of Ukrainian Agricultural Land

By LauraAboli

Three large American multinationals bought 17 million hectares of Ukrainian agricultural land.

These are Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto (which is officially German-Australian but with American capital). Five percent of Ukrainian agricultural land was subsequently purchased by the Chinese state. For comparison, the whole of Italy has 16.7 million hectares of agricultural land.

In short, three American companies bought more useful agricultural land in Ukraine than the whole of Italy.

Among the main shareholders of these three companies are Vanguard, Blackrock, Blackstone.

There is a similar message from men from the 58 brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Some of them deserted and returned home to Konotop, in the Sumy region. Like the men in the 56th brigade, these soldiers complain that they were sent to the front with no proper weapons or equipment just to be pounded by Russian artillery. Rather than serve as cannon fodder they left their frontline positions and headed back home with their weapons.

I do not want to see Russia take over Ukraine. But on the other hand, I do not want corrupt Ukrainians and corrupt US officials and weapons makers profiting from this war, which I believe was deliberately provoked by US policy, perhaps also to hide the roles of the sons of Biden, Pelosi, Romney, and Kerry in Ukraine.

Ruscist say that's definitely NOT a Ukie attack so there will be no need for the JUDGEMENT DAY promised mere 3 weeks ago in case Crimea is attacked:

You remind me of a conservative war hawk from the 80's. And they were just a shadow of the opportunistic bankers who fund both sides of all wars, including this one.

I'm sure this will have the Russians squealing back to their borders begging for mercy.

What's a "VKS base"?

Ruscist say

What the fuck is "a Ruscist"??? Is it a Russian, a Russian sympathizer, a bigot that blindly hates Russians, a CIA agent? What the fuck is it?

SPEAK ENGLISH.

So. Somebody got drunk and lit a vodka fart, weapons depot goes up, happens all the time in Ukraine.

The cannon fodders for the international intel agency crime syndicates are catching on?
"Russian military forces engaged in the “Special De-Nazification Operation” to liberate Ukraine, the latest independent analysis shows 22,100 Ukrainian soldiers killed between 11 July and 10 August alone—and are battlefield deaths that do not include those reported by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) over the past 36-hours, whose urgent war bulletins reveal: “Up to 70 percent of the personnel of the 56th Ukrainian brigade were destroyed in the units of the formation...Most of the Ukrainian citizens mobilized to make up for the losses of the brigade refused to advance to the line of contact and deserted” and “As a result of active offensive combat operations of the allied forces, more than 50 percent of the personnel in the 14th and 66th mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Artyomovsky and Avdeevsky directions were eliminated...Mass desertion and unauthorized abandonment of their positions by the nationalists were recorded”."

Never happened. It's all CGI:

I suspect that quite a lot of it is paid by the weapons makers to the Congressmen who vote for it.

But no one is sure what did it.

Special ops sneaking in and using mortars? Drones? Also, with a good spotter, long range artillery could do that. Although the Ukies have no navy, a battleship like the USS Iowa could do that type of precise hits from 30 miles offshore.

That was in spring, when energy bills were low. Fast forward to July and the picture notably changes. While an overwhelming 82 percent of Germans supported a tough stance against Russia in May, two months later 47 percent thought that sanctions are hurting their own country more.

You can imagine the public mood in Slovakia, Cyprus, Bulgaria and other EU countries whose purchasing power doesn’t match German standards. A July poll revealed that seven out of ten Czechs are concerned about energy prices. In Greece, half of the population are behind on their energy bills.

Presenting rising cost of living as a necessary price to pay for Ukrainian freedom is a surefire recipe for trouble. Appealing to the value of independence works when our own independence is at stake. But no matter how repulsive you find Russian actions in Ukraine, odds are that the wellbeing of your family still matters more to you than the freedom of strangers in Kharkiv.

The murder rate in many U.S. cities is higher than civilian deaths in the war in Ukraine

According to the report, 5,401 civilians have been killed in the Ukraine war. Analysis by the National Desk shows this is a per capita murder rate of 12.9 per 100,000 residents.

According to U.S. data from AH Datalytics from June, there were several U.S. cities that had surpassed this murder rate by quite a jog.

MOSCOW, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Plumes of black smoke were seen on Tuesday at a Russian military airbase near the settlement of Gvardeyskoye in the centre of Russian-controlled Crimea, Russia's Kommersant newspaper reported.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russia's Defence Ministry separately blamed a series of explosions around Dzhankoi in northern Crimea on "sabotage", state-owned news agency RIA reported.
