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.
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.
As opposed to the horrors of fascist war criminal squads murdering and committing other crimes against Russian civilians? As opposed to this war dragging on and more Russian soldiers die?
It is the fault of the Ukrainian people for not resisting their government's coup to fascism, for not resisting the rise of fascist militias. For not resisting the escalation to war with Russia. For being good little liberals who passively let it happen. Just as US-ians passively let their country supply a genocide, passively let their country do all these horrible things.
I don't have much sympathy for them and more importantly I don't see a way out. Russia didn't choose to make them die and suffer the US did. Russia has only the power to choose how quickly they accept this. The US is actively feeding people to the meat grinder. So crying and boo-hooing about the terrorist nazi regime state and its people suffering is just... I don't care.
I mean maybe you'll pull out that uh those people were propagandized and of course they were, so no were Nazis, look what the allies did to Nazi Germany and the civilians there. They surely did not have a fun time but it was necessary to fight that way. Just as it's necessary I think for Russia to take the gloves off. Power is not a civilian thing. It's dual use. Power is being used to manufacture drones to attack and kill Russian civilians, to damage and attempt to destroy civilian infrastructure. Power is being used to power their war machine, their repair facilities, their modern military conveniences. Take it out and they have to truck in more fuel and burn more fuel and then you can cut those fuel supplies and cause shortages.
Russia didn't choose total war. They went out of their way to avoid it. The US chose that. The path is before us. The question is not will Ukrainian civilians suffer. They have, they will, they should have stood up in 2014 and done something and you know I feel bad for the individuals who know this is fucked up and can't escape but not worse than I feel for the Russian civilians who are being murdered, sexually assaulted, tortured, used as human shields, living in fear, suffering from this war. So the question is how many more Russian civilians will suffer with them before the foot is put down and Ukraine is beaten to a bloody pulp such that it cannot fight or resist anymore. Because that's what it's likely to take. The west refuses to give up, refuses to accept reasonable conditions for Russia and the Ukrainian regime will not give up. They're doing total war, fall of Berlin levels of fanatacism and it will likely take fall of Berlin level destruction of their country to smash their state, their ability to wage war and neutralize them and bring peace not only to the Russians suffering because of Ukrainians who didn't stand up but to those same Ukrainians.
The only path is through.
