Ukrainian forces that have occupied part of Kursk Region have committed atrocities against civilians while using them as human shields, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia's Chechen Republic has claimed.

In a post on Telegram on Monday, Apty Alaudinov recounted an episode in the border town of Sudzha, where he said Ukrainian troops had entered a residential house with children inside.

“In this building, they settled down on the ground floor… and chased children and teachers upstairs to use them as a shield,” he said, adding that this practice is widespread. He claimed that first-person footage filmed by the Ukrainians had ended up in Russian hands, and showed the brutality of Kiev’s forces.

“I received a huge number of photos in which I saw civilians who were simply shot at point-blank [range], in the head and from the back. All these civilians, unfortunately, died,” he said, expressing his condolences and vowing revenge.

As fighting continues on the border, videos have surfaced on social media showing Ukrainian troops grabbing people off the street, blindfolding them, and pushing them into trucks.

However, the document that has now been adopted stipulates that Ukraine will not recognize the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court for war crimes for seven years when it comes to Ukrainian citizens. This is due to the army's fears that its actions in the fight against Russian forces could in some cases be charged as war crimes.

As I commentwd in another post. They have a free pass now. Cosplay time is over. That's your morality of the west.

This is a very serious accusation. Unfortunately, I found one fatal flaw with it:

Your report is now invalid.

I am sure that there is nothing to worry about in the Ukrainian army. I’m not saying that the Ukrainian army is perfect, maybe one or two soldiers have committed a couple atrocities, but nothing that’s a big deal. Everything is fine. Calm down and go back to your daily lives.

Back to their roots. Fortunately on the russian side are the units that crushed these freaks back in Bakhmut.

Patrick Lancaster just published an interview with a civillian who said that the invading Kursk ukranians shot and killed his pregant wife, on purpose.

Except this time they're doxxing themselves by gloating on TikTok and YouTube. Unlike the original Nazis, these ones are stupid enough to not burn the paper trail. If Russia is serious about denazification, not by bombs but, like, in general (one can hope) - it will be easier for justice to be served, at least in theory. They must not be allowed to escape to the West, lest Russia wants to find them all over the place afterwards - in Africa, for example.

Given how much Russian government officials are bleating about "traditional values"? I wouldn't hold my breath

They have to be stopped and executed to the last one this time, no more half measures but completely unironically.

Something I don't see mentioned much bit it think is worth flagging up: they're mad. They've spent years now getting completely hosed by the first peer force to take an interest in stopping their Dirlewanger-type fun in the Donbas, and now they're venting their fear and gamer rage on random Russian people to feel powerful before the RF drops the hammer on them.

I'm reminded of something I recall reading a (US) general saying a few months back, that they wanted terror attacks in Russia to scare people into opposing the war; I'm beginning to think if I ever read something from a general of them saying something hideous they'd like to see happen then I should expect it to happen.

The head of Ukrainian intelligence had said before that Russians only understand fear, in response to bombing civilian targets and raiding incursions in Belgorod. And some of the units in Kursk are under the direct control of Ukrainian intelligence.

And there's a video of a Ukrainian POW, who surrendered in Vovchansk, stating that he was recruited from prison into the Ukrainian army, and the recruiters promised them they would be used to attack Russia, and then let loose to rape and pillage as much as they wanted as bonus payment.

I thought that after experiences of Curtis LeMay command they might finally learn something about military terror campaigns but apparently not. Seems they believed their own media myths while ignoring legit analysis of their own military (just as LeMay did).

They learned they can get away with them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah they have only two points: mass usage of expensive weapons and mass loss of civilian life, both very appealing to US military and oligarchy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Sure thing General (wink wink), when Osama bin Laden did a terror attack on the USA in 2001 the response was absolutely to think critically about the USA's imperialist ways and absolutely not a global tantrum that has murdered and displaced many millions of people all over the world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

They're quite candid much of the time. They just dress it up and the general public either never hears about it or only hears the distorted version.

Welcome again to Lemmygrad. Judging from your comment history, I see that you have some expertise in computer hardware, diplomacy, formal logic, geoeconomics, geopolitics, investigative journalism, media literacy, military tactics, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the German language, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine.

We have few regulars interested in so many subjects. Have you been consulting capitalismindecay? What do you think of it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Absolutely. When it comes to the US and the Ukronazis.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

I mean...yeah, Ukraine was alleging this stuff early on in the war and unsurprisingly they're enacting on Kursk what they wanted to do to civilians in Donbas.

Stop telling people what language they can and cannot use

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh, are you feeling gaslit and lovebombed? Are the mean commies gatekeeping you and invalidating your lived experience as a nazi-supporting dumbass?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, libs are banned from using English on Lemmygrad. You cannot use this language.

Please speak Russian or Chinese. Spasibo.

I could believe that the report that pro-NATO Ukrainian forces brutally kill civilians from their change of media antagonism from Putin to all Russians, the disregard of 8 years of massacre of ethnic minority by Euro-maiden coup government in Kyiv before Putin's intervention, and the false flag terrorist attacks by Azov thugs in rebel territories. The anti-terrorist terrorism from Pax Americana that support puppet Zelensky is further evidence that Kyiv military committed acts of terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I have no doubt they're doing Nazi terror shit. Pointless from a strategic point of view but not from the view of Kiev's Nazi lovers or of the US which has long loved vicious terror tactics and torture.

Russia should really just destroy their power grid entirely, just bring the country to its knees, bomb rail bridges that lead into the countries of western suppliers, bomb road infrastructure.

Sadly propagandized westerners I'm sure even in 10 years will call the video evidence that will eventually reach us "fake" so there is little hope for justice outside of Russia pressing the war all the way.

Which may be why the US wants Ukraine doing this. They want Ukraine to fight to the bitter end and by forcing them to commit atrocities Russia's government cannot end the war without demanding justice of the very people in power who would have to sign off on any peace. They're making them put even more skin in the game so to speak.

When you attack civilians, it doesn’t stop the military from doing military stuff.

When you attack civilians it gives the military more justification to keep doing horrible things.

When you attack civilians it gives the politicians more justification to let the military to keep doing horrible things.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This. Thank you for pointing this out, comrade.

When you attack civilians, it makes those who are finally starting to open their fucking eyes, to doubt the Banderite propaganda to go "nah, they were right all along, Imma go ahead and give myself up to the grinder".

Say what you want about Putin or the military commanders, but it's clear they are conducting operations to make sure their losses are minimal. And sure, Western capitalist propaganda will still smear them into the ground with false-flag psyops and Bucha-style atrocity propaganda, however... There's no reason to give these fucks ammo, to do the job for them. The entire Global South is watching this - they are seeing Russia as the rational actor, or at least a lot more rational. Compare that to the West and their full-throttle support for Palestinian genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I can understand the emotions behind, "well, if the civilian population doesn't rise up and engage in open warfare against their own militarized police and actual combat military forces that protect a government that is doing bad things so its okay to kill all the civilians," but the though is a really really shitty thing to think or advocate for.

Pretty sure the theory heads could quote somebody from the past about the ineffectual nature of "revolutionary terrorism".
