It’s the only way to describe the times we live in.

The claim is that this is going on on a large organized scale.
Suddenly they have plenty of trucks and fuel?

I’m going to post the link again
Guardian liveblog
In the past 2-3 hours they have reported
- how Russians left mines/bombs/booby-traps behind as they left the outskirts of Kyiv
- how Russians killed civilians whose hands had been tied behind their back
- how a village leader disappeared and now her body and those of her family have been found
- how dead naked bodies were found on a road - partly burnt
- mass graves have been found with unidentified bodies.
Some of it is harrowing reading/viewing.
Last night the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen reported from a road where civilians in cars had seen a tank and turned round and one got out of the car with his hands up (it was on video) and was shot and killed. The car was burnt out with his wife in it.
And bodies were strewn across the road, part burnt, with tyres around them where attempts had been made to get the fire going. The video had to have parts of the picture blurred, several times, as the camera panned around.
The evidence of yet more multiple war crimes is everywhere the Russians have withdrawn.
The world can now plainly see the nature of the invader - yes they could see it before, but remote shelling of maternity hospitals, reducing a city to rubble, etc. is almost impersonal compared to the personal viciousness plainly visible on a widespread scale today.

Scores of civilians executed by the Russian military.
Russia literally unfolded a killing spree in its occupied territories in Ukraine.
The year is 2022.

One tweet deleted and one tweet requiring a userid (I do not have one) on that link, but I can imagine what was shown.
I hope this does not sound crass, but I hope some of the surviving locals managed to use their phones to get photos of some of the animals responsible for this. It’s all well and good having incontrovertible evidence of war crimes but unless those responsible can be identified…

Uhm, if Ukraine joins the EU it doesn’t matter whether they’re in NATO or not. The next invasion would involve all the big European countries.

You should see one tweet from Illia Ponomarenko with the quoted text and a “sensitive content” mask over the photos. The other tweets are replies by other people.

I can’t find any trace of the deleted messages or the replies to them. Evidently there’s an algorithm at work and you see replies in a completely different order.

Same and similar images as on the Guardian links. I fear we are going to see a lot more pictures of a similar kind in the next day or two.
The Ukrainian people are not likely to let their President agree to anything with Putin after this, unless it means Russia permanently out of all Ukraine and criminals delivered to the ICC or to the Ukraine courts. I somehow doubt Putin will volunteer to deliver himself. And we know how he will react next.
Somehow we need to give Ukraine some way to fight back against and prevent the inevitable mass shelling that will ramp up in the east any time now.
