What seems to have happened in Bucha is that Ukrainian SS teams quickly filled the vacuum when the Russians left and assassinated the 'collaborators'.  Rules of war compelled the Russians to provide for the minimal needs of occupied civilians (food, water, etc.)  This they were doing.  Unfortunately anyone who availed of or assisted with distribution was considered a 'collaborator' by the more extreme elements of the Ukrainian political structures and these people were summarily executed.  Then they tried to use the aftermath as a false-flag.

What seems to have happened in Mariupol is that Azov were using the local housing as firing points (which I don't have a problem with absent other options), but they were using the local population as human shields and they were doing what they needed to do to keep them in captivity.  That translated to open season on targets from their firing points.  This is why the civilian bodies in the streets seem to have died well before there was close combat fighting with the Russian urban combat specialists in a given area.

---

The hypothesis forming up in my mind is that (Ukrainian/Jewish oligarch who owns Azov) Kolomoyski, and even the neocons and CIA who manage Azov, are basically on Russia's side and are playing a long-game involving Russia effectively controlling the new state/territory to be formed in Eastern and Southern Ukraine.  There will be a 'rump' left in Western Ukraine consisting of what is left of the Azov-aligned forces and ideologically aligned people, and it might even be 'given back' to Poland at that time.  The hatred for these Nazi-esque people among any populations 'defended' by them in the 2022 war will be extreme and long-lasting which is effectively the same thing as inducing the peeps to shift their support to the Russian-aligned factions.

Honestly, it looks to me as though the same dynamics of 'totalitarian rule enforced by street thugs' was the norm in the Donbass areas as well, but with substitution of Stalin for Hilter as a 'historical father figure'.  Ironically, while the native populations of Germany, Russia, China, etc, distanced themselves from own legacy baggage (Hitler, Stalin, Mao) fairly quickly when it became practical to do so, certain pockets of the more distant areas did not and continue to lionize them.  I say this as a person living currently where there is a low-grade communist insurgency which is classified by some as 'Maoist'.  I must say, though, that it would surprise me if almost any of the bullet-stoppers filling their ranks had the slightest interest or understanding of history, politics, etc beyond some minimal level of well-honed propaganda.  Same could be said of their counterparts on the government side too of course.

It's not all that complicated, and perfectly in-line with what a LOT of people have been saying for while:  The peeps were being used as human shields.  When they got desperate enough to leave the apartment complex basements to get water, they would be picked off since the 'defenders' were telling them in no uncertain terms to stay put.

There were ~3500 defenders in Mariupol at the time it was surrounded. Even if they wanted to, there was no way they could have occupied every apartment building and used them as "human shields". Russians simply bombed the shit out of it and couldn't care less if there are civilians or military or anybody at all in those buildings. And knowing that, there wouldn't have been much sense for Ukrainians to waste time with "human shields" because they knew Russians would bomb indiscriminately anyway.

"a LOT of" Kremlin bots saying things doesn't mean shit.


Maybe the Russians just have really really really bad aim.

The city officials said the site in the village of Manhush could hold 3,000 to 9,000 bodies, possibly of Mariupol residents.

The City Council said the bodies may have been buried in layers, adding that the Russians dug trenches and filled them with corpses every day throughout April.

There you go... the Ukrainians killed them all because XYZ... except that is not true in this and Bucha and all the Kiev area. It must be that the Ukrainian army  has the ability to kill telepathically, that explains why 8 chief psychopaths generals of Putin's army and a a large number of officers have been slain. You are a psycho and your controllers in the Ministry of Dark Humour and Fantasyland tales are the lamest at excuses - predictable and lame.

The 'defenders' were doing what their sponsors and handlers told them, for whatever reasons, to do.  That would be the likes of Kolomoyskyi and the Western directors.  The reasons behind this strategy are not really all that clear to me yet.  Anyway, Mariupol is Russian-speaking which is prone to stir the ire of various of the Azov formations and apparently the ones who were assigned to 'defend' Mariupol.

Lancaster's vids where he walked around within snipe-ing distance of the steel mill within hours of it's above-ground 'defender' clearing and ran across tons of civilian bodies which were old enough to have had their faces eaten by crows confirm quite loudly the veracity of the countless newly liberated hostages.  As for digging the graves, I'd be surprised if 'the Russians' were doing it as much as the locals.  Their job of putting the Azov 'defenders' in the hole was enough.  I would expect that locals took some excavators out there, dug some holes, and got on with the business of cleaning up as it became safe to do so.

As a practical matter, seems to me that burying dead bodies is more along the lines of 'what you do' no matter how the body got to be dead.  The alternative is not very sensible for health reasons, and one would only leave bodies around if it were unsafe to retrieve and bury them.  It is certainly not some sort of 'smoking gun in the hands of the Russkies' or whatever.  I seriously doubt that there will be much interest in international investigations of 'genocide' or whatever in Mariupol just as the Western Democracies quickly lost interest before they started in the Bucha affair.

It's been 2 months since the Russian invasion, despite Ukraine's resistance, war maps show that Putin is actually gaining ground, especially after the fall of Mariupol, and the military advances in the Donbas region, while they are extremely close to Kharkiv. On top of that, Odesa is certainly their next target, since its prime location, which would block Ukraine's access to the sea.

Certainly, Putin didn't win the war within a few days, just like he expected, however, things have taken a turn for the worse, mourning thousands of casualties.

I was being ironic - well, I was trying.





"Liberators" calling it what it is:

Chechen fighters working with the Russian forces in Mariupol stood in front of a burning building and claimed they have ‘cleansed and destroyed’ the Ukrainian city, in a video aired Friday.

Witness reports:

By the end of the second week, we heard continuous shelling approaching from the northern part of the city, targeting residential districts near us. Two missiles hit a nine-storey building on the other side of the road, right across from our basement. We saw the fourth floor engulfed in flames and people jumping to their deaths.

I saw with my own eyes how they aimed at apartment buildings, as if they were playing a computer game.

Ukrainians will resist


Also yesterday, Russia destroyed four railway bridges across the Dnieper with high-precision missile strikes (without civilian casualties and destruction of bridges on the edge - to make them easier to restore). Now the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass is cut off from the supply of weapons by rail from the West of Ukraine.


You are a real zombie moron, I live in Ukraine, and there is nothing like what you write about here.
Everything you write is 100% false.
Here is a confirmation from the head of the Dnepropetrovsk regional military administration, Valentin Reznichenko, about three destroyed bridges in the Novomoskovsk region. Another bridge was destroyed in Zaporozhye. It seems the level of truth in my previous message has risen to at least to 75%. Well, not bad. Grin

I remember you, Nazi bastard. And I'll see what you say in a month or two. There is a good saying in Russia - "тpyднo coбиpaть выбитыe зyбы cлoмaнными pyкaми".
Think about it at your leisure, puppy.
It says nothing about destroyed bridges.
Where is the proof?
As always, you are spreading unverified, distorted, false information.
Yes, and your vaunted Kinzhal missile is, in fact, not hypersonic.
Here are links to sites, one of them is Russian.

https://nikitich.livejournal.com/1414196.html

Quote
The famous "Kinzhal", or the gentlemen deceived us a little and Russia does not yet (in the legal sense) have hypersonic weapons

A weapon can be considered hypersonic if it flies IN THE ATMOSPHERE ALL THE TIME OF FLIGHT (that is, not more than twenty kilometers) at a speed of Mach 8 or more. At the same time, it must maneuver. And to accelerate to seven kilometers per second and fall from space to the ground - this is all ballistic missiles can do, which it would never occur to anyone to call hypersonic weapons.

WHAT DO WE HAVE WITH THE Kinzhal?

To be honest, they didn’t show me the technical documentation for the dagger, but I myself did half of the rocket’s life. So, catch a little military secret - Kinzhal is the same ISKANDER that was hung under the plane.

All sizes and weights of rockets are the same to the gram and millimeter. Appearance also coincides to the smallest detail. A tail cone was added to the aviation version, which falls off after launch. Where did the extra 1,500 kilometers of range come from? It's just that the plane launches a rocket at a speed of 3000 kilometers per hour at an altitude of more than 15 kilometers. It leaves the atmosphere in a couple of seconds. And in a vacuum, even a Kalashnikov assault rifle shoots for twenty-five kilometers.

0% actually. Translation of the "confirmation":

Dnipropetrovsk region April 21 19.55 We have three missile strikes on the railway infrastructure in the Novomoskovsk district. Everyone is alive. The railway line and the catenary are completely shattered. It is unclear whether we will be able to resume traffic.

Nothing about bridges, let alone bridges over Dnipro (Novomoskovsk district does not even touch that river).

Our Kremlin liaison is very active in this thread today. Maybe something happened?

The Kremlin does not understand how to end the war through negotiations - and without the collapse of Putin's rating. They complain that the propaganda "went too far with forcing the topic of Nazism"

48 dead then, 60,000 plus (projected) dead Russians now.  Is that higher level Russian math?
Russia mainly conducts the operation with elite units with combat experience,




Those elite soldiers look like farmers straight from Russia's Far East given surplus army uniforms and told to go forward where new lands, women and riches await.

There's also a testimony of a young Russian boxer, who was preparing to fight in the national team. One night they told him to board a truck, he did it and went to sleep. He woke up hearing shots nearby, asked his commander where they were and why and was told that they're attacking Ukraine to stop them from placing missile launchers on the border with Russia.
