But #totallynotgenocide, right?
The competence of the International Criminal Court (
ICC) includes the prosecution of persons guilty of genocide. If there are facts, they should be presented there and carefully examined. Because in the same way you
can be told that Ukrainian troops are purposefully killing pro-Russian civilians.
[...]
In Europe and the US, Russian central television is squeamishly called Putin’s propaganda, but the "Russian zombie TV" is light years behind the Western media in terms of brainwashing the population, and the editors of the Western media should be prosecuted for slander and inciting ethnic hatred.
[...]
Genocide is not only killing, it is about the 2 million people deported from Ukraine and the forced "nationalisation" of Ukrainians in occupied areas. Facts and proof are easy, as the RF is not being particularly effective at hiding.
As far as presenting and following due process, well... Adolf Putin will only answer if he ever looses political grip in the RF -in which case he will have much bigger problems than being judged.
The Ukrainian authorities lie that they are only targeting military infrastructure in Russian-controlled areas with artillery strikes. Europeans and Americans should know that women and children have been killed and injured for many days from weapons that are shipped to Ukraine from the West (Warning! Violent content!

Caption on the photo:
"10-year-old Veronika Badina died during the shelling of Donetsk from French CAESAR howitzers.
The French government is helping Ukraine not to defend itself, but to kill."
This shows a picture of a boy under medical care. Nothing else. The linking to "Caesar Howis", European aid and any other claims are simply a claim without any credibility. Given that is published in Ukranian in RF media, along with "an RF jet bombing Snake Island" and other similar claims, the credibility is zero.
As for the second video, again, it could be anything you want it to be.

Why can the RF attack and Ukraine just "defend"? Military targets in or outside the RF that are being used to support the offensive are legit irrespectively of the type of conventional weapon used.
On July 12, 2022, a correspondent of the Ukrainian TV channel
VTV Plus published a
video report on YouTube about a Ukrainian missile attack on Nova Kakhovka (Kherson region).
The text of her message, translated into English:
"A large number of destruction of urban infrastructure.
We see that they hit shops, markets, bus stations, churches, houses.
A very large number of destruction. Now it is known for sure about seven dead and more than seventy injured civilians.
All houses look so scary now, services are working, they get (people) from under the rubble, firefighters put out fires, the police work.
An operational headquarters has been created to provide assistance to the victims.
Now the decision of the temporary city administration has been made to pay
400 thousand rubles ($ 7000) to wounded and two million rubles ($ 35000) to families of the victims.
I would like to say that this is, of course, an unprecedentedly terrible story,
because Ukraine, like real terrorists, is simply bombing peaceful cities with American weapons."
What you call an Ukrainian channel is this:
https://imi.org.ua/en/news/kherson-s-collaborationist-channel-vtv-begins-broadcasting-via-russian-satellite-i46400Kherson TV channel "VTV+" began broadcasting via a russian satellite. This is another confirmation of the channel's cooperation with the russian invaders. This was reported by the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting.
You are shameless speaking about brainwashing in the same post you quote this. But I take good note: Kherson, in your view, is Ukrainian.
@suchmoon, returning to the question you asked about a genocide. Perhaps you are not aware, but in Russia the third person in the state is a native of Ukraine,
Valentina Matvienko, however, just like
Vladimir Medinsky, an assistant to the Russian president. This does not really fit into the version that the Russians hate Ukrainians so much that they are ready to exterminate them as a nation. A few days ago, Putin
signed a decree on granting Russian citizenship to all residents of Ukraine in a simplified manner. Remind me of at least one such case in world history when the government of one country sought to destroy people of a certain nationality, but at the same time gave them passports.
The colonization of Latin America by Spain: Either you leave your culture and join mine or I kill you. Sometimes both.
Yes it is an attempt to destroy a nationality, very clearly. From being of Ukrainian identity, Adolf Putin offers "freely" to become a "Russian" (RF citizen at least) at least in name. But, above all, becoming an RF citizen confers no right. You cannot vote nor change your government, you cannot speak freely, you can be drafted for the army, you have restrictions travelling, you have to endure the RF system,... So it is like an offer of free chains with pretty much no rights. On top of that Adolf Putin will eventually argue that there are "Russians" that need to be "liberated" and justify his next aggression.
All this is in the thin line between aggression and pure genocide.
Granting the RF passport is an attempt to "filtrate". Those Ukrainians who do not request it are "self filtered", also it undermines the right of the Ukrainian State (basically, is an offer to become a turncoat for free), and if you need examples of turncoats I have plenty.
Since you are trying to make a point here with "Germany", let me tell you a few details.
[...] Germany has become far too dependant from Russian Oil and especially Gas!
Germany can replace Russian Gas but Putin has lost a big market, where he can sell his Gas - probably forever or at least as long as his corrupt circle is in power.
Russia will take the most damage long-term as Germany and Europe are slowly replacing Russian Oil and Gas.
Russia will lose Europe / Germany as a place, where he can sell his fossil fuels.
[...]
The mere fact of living in a country doesn't make its resident a priori a recognized expert in the foreign economy and politics of this state.
Are you sure that you yourself didn't become an object of "Scholz TV" propaganda, regarding your expectations, which do not at all coincide with the Germany possibilities?
The
Bild experts do not share your bravado about the refusal of Russian gas. About replacing Russian gas - I don’t know what you are counting on, but German residents may soon start using
wood instead of gas, like a hundred years ago.
Nah... they will just switch on a few nuclear centrals or buy the nuclear energy from France. The problem will not be the heating, but the industry that may take a hit during one or worst case, two years. It is bad, but it would be even worse to have Adolf Putin any closer to the EU, and more costly. No winners to this war other than US, the Arabs,...
While you're trying to make fun of Putin (judging by the many emoticons), Russia is now making
more money from increased energy sales to China and India. As Aristotle
said: "Nature abhors a vacuum".
For comparison, for the whole of 2021, Germany, being the largest importer of Russian energy, bought gas and oil from Russia at a commune price of
20 billion euros. Moreover, many Russian citizens yearn for a speedy shutdown of all of Europe from Russian gas in response to sanctions, as well as for numerous calls of Western officials to defeat Russia on the battlefield; for the supply of weapons, military instructors, intelligence data and other military assistance to Ukraine.
...
While China and India will keep on buying (at the right price, do not forget it) the Oil & Gas from Siberia, the infrastructure required to switch from Europe to China or India is just not there. The massive pipelines that connect Siberia with Europe are simply not there in the east, take millions to build and years of treaties, design and construction. Much more than renting floating gas liquefaction facilities.
The RF is going to dive into a recession. The oil price is volatile and, if the recession in Europe and some slowing in US kicks in, the RF accounts will go deep red. Since you like Aristoteles:
“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.” - Pass this up your chain of controllers to Adolf Putin.
...
When it became uncovered, that Germany is very dependant from Russian Gas, some whistleblowers leaked documents about the corruption of pro-Kremlin politicans in local administration structures and how they had enabled Putin. Large parts of the infrastructure of Gas pipelines and Gas storages were sold to Russia and local politicians were travelling frequently to Moscow to make Putin happy (make German energy supply dependant from Russia).
There was a large network of local politicians involved in pro Russia stuff and they made a shitload of money.
Gazprom even influenced local decisionmakers directly:
...
IMHO, not just "local" decision makers, but at leas one Chancellor:
