Numerous reports are now circulating claiming that United States Army Major General Roger L. Cloutier has been CAPTURED by Russian forces in or around Mariupol, Ukraine where, the reports claim, he was helping the AZOV Battalion which is Ukraine's official NAZI unit. [...] Email to the Pentagon sent several HOURS ago, has gone unanswered which, from a media perspective, is very unusual. If this report was false, the Pentagon would deny it immediately. They have NOT denied it. But no official answer has come from the Pentagon either way as of 6:10 PM EDT Monday.

Shocking!!!!! The video from yesterday with a few extra seconds at the start of the video!!!! Russian POW are still alive, can be seen moving in a pud of blood, then the Ukrainian soldier finish him off, you can see how the moribund soldier is growling in agony and they shot him 4 more times until he stops making noises. It's been speculated by the amount of blood that they had their throats cut. By the noises the poor man is making I believe this is true.

War Crime: Ukrainian Troops Shot Tied-up Russian Prisoners: [...] This is a classic technique of Ukrainian militants. The newly published video (18+, sensitive people, please do not watch) shows an episode of the shooting of a captured crew of a Russian BMD near Kharkov. Pay attention to the hands of a soldier whose body is shown for 7-10 seconds — his hands are tied with a white ribbon. Similarly, the hands of the civilians who were killed in Bucha are tied.

Ukraine’s not facing up to its own war crimes. Russian POWs don’t stand a chance: The Ukrainians actions are not being reported in the BBC. They are recorded by the Ukrainians themselves and put online. Russia wants to keep the members of the AFU and reprogramme them. The Nationalists who are committing war crimes as above will be brought to justice. (Video)

Documentary by French journalist Anne-Laure Bonnel. | Back in 2015, Anne-Laure Bonnel, a young director and mother of a French family, decided to follow Alexander, a father of a Ukrainian family, to the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine in a pro-Russian zone. At the heart of the war, she captures the disturbing images of a deadly conflict and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.

The war in the eastern Ukrainian region known as Donbas started in 2015, lasted for five years and has killed over 13.000 people. [It has] displaced millions, and led to a sharp break in relations between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.

The war's effects on Ukraine have been profound: the collapse of the post-Soviet Ukrainian political elite; billions of dollars in direct and indirect losses to the Ukrainian economy; a wholesale restructuring of the Ukrainian armed forces; social dislocation and psychological trauma; and unprecedented environmental damage.

After declaring the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR, respectively), armed Russian-backed separatist groups seized government buildings across the Donbas, leading to armed conflict with the Ukrainian government forces.

Russophobic MSM are all over the incident with their customary fake news over truth and full disclosure.

For months since last year, they invented one phony reason after another to assault Russia with fake news accusations. What happened in Bucha, Ukraine over the weekend is the latest example. Despite no evidence linking Russia to dozens of bodies found in the town, others in mass graves, US/Western regimes and their MSM co-conspirators falsely blamed its forces. Unindicted war criminal/interventionist Blinken called for “accountability” for what Russia had nothing to do with.

On all things Russia, other US invented enemies, and virtually all issues mattering most across the board, state-approved press release ‘journalism’ substitutes for the real thing. The public mind is manipulated with fake news rubbish. The power of repetition — combined with suppressing truth and full disclosure — gets most people to believe almost anything, no matter how indisputably false.

Britain’s National Gallery retitled the 1890s painting by Edgar Degas after calls on social media

Britain’s National Gallery has changed the title of a drawing by French impressionist Edgar Degas. Since last week, the 1890s pastel and charcoal image is now called ‘Ukrainian Dancers’ rather than ‘Russian Dancers’.

The picture in question is part of a series and was produced during visits by dance troupes from the Russian Empire to Paris in the late 1890s. Such performances were a popular attraction, given the French interest in Eastern European traditions after the establishment of the Dual Alliance between France and the Russian empire in 1894.

The dancers “are almost certainly Ukrainian rather than Russian,” its description on the National Gallery’s website says, without further elaboration. The gallery acknowledged that the change of title was due to the current political situation and after a public pressure campaign on social media rather than due to any new facts discovered about Degas’ work.
