Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed regret that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been hesitant to blame Russia for a strike on humanitarian mission vehicles in Donetsk which resulted in the deaths of three ICRC staff members.

Breaking news: more than one genocide can happen at the same time. More news at 11

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

35k casualties with 23k being injuries, so 12,000 deaths in 2 years.

Let alone their president wanting to be "big israel" and working with literal nazis...

Remember! Blinken called this a genocide.

There have been singular weeks in Gaza that surpassed the child death toll that took two years to reach in Ukraine.

Ah, you were talking about Gaza.

Why though? What does Gaza have to do with the war in Ukraine?

You're right, Ukraine can openly venerate Nazis while targeting Russian speakers and Roma people and Israel can massacre Palestinians at the same time!

It's not that two things are happening at the same time you idiot, it's Zelensky's attitude towards what Israel is doing at the same time (this is what the comment above expressly states). "Israel has a right to defend itself" is the vapid nonsense numerous Western powers have said to justify Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people after their revolt against colonial occupation (which is condemned as "terrorism"), along with the "Israeli civilians" drivel and the refusal to recognize Israel's part in killing their own people on the 7th—these are the same things Zelensky has said [1] [2].

Spewing some Russian propaganda here my friend. Ukraine can’t afford to take moral stands right now, they are being invaded by a murderous genocidal army at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You're not on reddit bub. That thought terminating cliche doesn't work here.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Umm, wow, okay friend, these completely correct statements are actually RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA (they make Ukraine look bad). Amazing bit. Yes, not putting out public statements in favor of Israel's genocidal campaign would really hurt their war effort against Russia. Nor could Ukraine afford to stamp out all of the Nazism in their country (they actually let it rise to new heights after Euromaidan, when Russian influence had supposedly been weakened) or end their ethnic cleansing campaign in the Donbas or else that would take attention away from the invasion that wouldn't start for eight years.

Calling the Russian army genocidal is actually beyond absurd. Why do you think Russia invaded Ukraine? Because "Putler wanted to conquer Europe"? The liberal worldview has absolutely zero explanatory power.

You guys are hilarious, don’t drop your rubles on the way out

Thought-terminating cliche. Congrats on lapping up propaganda for free?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Throws some “completely correct statements” and links to shady websites and then complains about thought terminating cliches.. good job Ivan, you deserve extra potatoes tonight

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If what I said wasn’t correct you’d be able to come up with a better reply. The Russian bot stuff is reddit nonsense and makes you look like an idiot. As for “shady websites,” I only linked one website, and is it shady to you because it’s not in English? It’s a Ukrainian news source.

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

If you were here to discuss in good faith i’d put more effort to debunk the shit you spew, but what’s the point? You’re getting paid to do this and i don’t have whole day to waste. Do everyone a favor and fuck off to the hole you came from.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hope you actually think I’m getting paid to talk to you. So fucking stupid.

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

Oh i’m sorry you do this for free? Joke’s on you, my man

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re replying to me for free, so… the only difference is you’re wrong.

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

Don’t forget to report to your handlers about another lemmy victory

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Victory is when you’re too stupid to understand that you’re incorrect.

Typical garbage propaganda from Hexbear

You're talking about the ten year ethnic cleansing campaign the ukranian nazis embarked on in the Donbas region, right? anakin-padme-2
