An international investigation is already underway in Bucha, but everything is clear as day there. The national police entered the city and organized a purge of "collaborators", killing everyone who did not have a blue bandage on his arm, and especially those with a white one. Yes, even shooting a video about it, which they then tried in vain to remove from the network.
I like how you changed your position about Bucha. First you said that it was fake made by Ukraine when they carried out dead people to the streets to show it to foreign media. And now you're saying that they made purge of collaborators.
I think it was like this. The national police of Ukraine entered the city and staged a cleansing operation, killing first comers without blue armbands (
- Boн пaцaны бeз cиниx пoвязoк, мoжнo пo ним cтpeлять? - A тo, бля!), and especially "collaborators" with white armbands. Then, in the propaganda department, they decided that it was possible to make a good picture on this and blame the Russians.
If something goes against Russian narrative, just blame Ukrainians, even if all proofs goes against you. About that video with shooting in Bucha, it's clearly visible that tanks have V letter used by Russian forces. Even Peskov was caught on interview. So, then he simply started to defend himself that it was fake.
With a cyclist, this is a different story and it is rather strange. I already expressed my opinion on it above, perhaps the Russians considered his behavior strange and saw the threat of a terrorist attack, because I see no other reasonable reasons to shoot several times from a 30mm cannon of an airborne combat vehicle, and then from a tank at a man on a bicycle. I hope the international investigation, which is currently underway, will restore in detail the picture of the tragedy in Bucha.
And what about Kramatorsk? I see everything quickly calmed down there after the serial number surfaced. Provocation failed? But there 50 people died from a missile strike with cluster munitions on their own civilians. An ugly story, it would be nice to deal with it and punish the perpetrators. However, I think that the direct executors have already been demilitarized, Russian intelligence officers in the field work well and Russian missiles hit right on the target.
So, based on that historical definition, All Ukrainians are now Nazi's (as I'm pretty sure they all hate Russians now). As well as all Americans, Polish, English, Mongols (eh, just guessing), Japanese (give them their island back), etc.
Russia has no claims to Mongolia.
Putin could not care less if there are Nazis or not. His aims are unrelated to any "crusade" of "holy war", they are only geopolitical and at this point, it is quite clear that he overestimated his army, underestimated Ukrainian's will to be free, got the EU response completely wrong and, at this point he just had to change fully the strategy and put it under the command of a general that successfully flattened Aleppo and called that a victory.
I think Putin underestimated Ukraine's desire to fight Russia. Perhaps he harbored false hopes that the Nazi contagion had struck mainly only the militants of the nationalist battalions, but not the regular army of Ukraine. Otherwise, it would have been reasonable in the very first days or even hours of the operation to inflict massive missile strikes on military barracks, this would have had a strong demoralizing effect. Ukraine is fighting very well against such a strong opponent as Russia. A change in general means a change in tactics, I think the operation will become more bloody in the near future. Personally, it doesn't make me happier.
