Killings of detainees by pro-Russian insurgent groups Amnesty International has received a growing number of allegations of execution-style and other deliberate killings in eastern Ukraine by separatist forces since the start of the conflict in April 2014. Victims have included pro-Ukrainian activists and suspected sympathisers, local criminals and detained combatants.
The first apparent confirmation of these allegations was the discovery of two bodies on 19 April 2014 near the town Raigorodok in Donetsk Region. They were later identified as Volodymyr Rybak, a local pro-Ukrainian activist and MP from Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party, and Yury Popravko, a student from Kyiv. The bodies bore signs of torture. Amnesty International found compelling evidence of the killing of two captives on 22 July. Both were held by separatist fighters in the police detention facility they had taken over in Severodonetsk, Luhansk Region.
A Severodonetsk businessman detained in the facility at the time for suspected links with the Batkivshchyna party, told Amnesty International: At 4.30 am a fighter woke us, shouting “Up! Evacuation!” They opened three or four cell doors, and in all I heard six to eight gunshots. It was like roulette – some were shot, some released, some taken away.
"The systematic lack of investigations of war crimes committed by all parties to the conflict in eastern Ukraine risks fuelling impunity and continued violence, said Amnesty International a year on from the start of hostilities in Donbass."
You're so dishonest...
How was my post any more dishonest than yours? Just because I called out your Russian-supported terrorists for being murderous d*cks?

Your position is that Russia alone is committing "genocide".
I provide evidence that Ukraine was already doing it 8 years ago and your response is "Yea but Russia's doing it!"
Was Ukraine committing war crimes? Yes.
Are there nazis in Ukraine? Yes and they were heavily involved in the Donbas.
BOTH sides are garbage which is why my position is let Ukraine and Europe worry about it.
Your position is that pretending to care about Ukraine makes you a good person. It does not.
Russia said on Friday that Ukrainian soldiers had executed more than 10 Russian prisoners of war, accusing Kyiv of carrying out war crimes and the West of ignoring them.
Vladimir Putin has justified his invasion of Ukraine with baseless claims that Ukraine is committing genocide. It isn’t the first time a political leader has cried genocide for political means.
"World leaders have been playing politics with the term genocide since a Polish-Jewish lawyer, Raphael Lemkin, coined the the word in 1944."
It's bullsh*t when Putin says it and it's bullsh*t when the west says it. You're just so blinded by propaganda you can't see it.
So you still have no evidence that Ukraine was committing genocide over the last 9 years, while I have provided evidence that Russia has been over the last year.
The hoops you're willing jump through to support Russia are truly astounding.

You have evidence that Russia has been committing war crimes. You ignore Ukrainian war crimes and even demonstrated that you approve of war crimes if your side is carrying them out.
You even linked an article explaining that partisan morons abuse the term genocide for political gain... to justify your own abuse of the word for your own political reasons.

Nothing happening in Ukraine is genocide.
Again, you are demonstrating your complete f*cking ignorance and inability to distinguish war crimes and genocide. They are entirely separate concepts, which are as completely distinct as "your posts" and "intelligence".
Here, read about numerous non-world leaders providing arguments and evidence that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.
Now I've presented detailed arguments for why Putin's claims of genocide by Ukraine are complete rubbish. I've also presented detailed arguments from people much much much smarter than you demonstrating that Russia is committing genocide. You can keep jumping through hoops to support Russian Nazis, but it just makes you a completely despicable human being.

You cheer when POWs are crucified and burned alive and I'm the one's that despicable. LOL!
"Genocidal intent"... LOL!!!
I don't support Russia because they do evil sh*t.
I don't support Ukraine either for the same reason.
You're a mindless POS who just thinks what he's told.
You live in all Coke world and you can't comprehend that you're consuming a 100% Pepsi sucks narrative.
Russia and Ukraine have WAAAAY more in common than you realize.

You're okay with Russia committing genocide because of something about Coke and Pepsi.

I'm not "okay" with anything Russia does. I've simply said it's not America's problem and we shouldn't be paying for it. Your continuous idiotic assertion that I support Russia isn't evidence of anything but your cultish delusions.
You on the other hand are proudly okay with war crimes. You would fit right in in Ukraine or Russia.

That's the difference between us. For you, it's easy to say "Genocide? That's somebody else's problem." You take the easy way out. That is your choice. I just think it makes you an absolutely terrible American and an even worse human being. But, I support your right to make that decision.
I on the other hand am not okay with Russia committing genocide, and am more than willing to spend a few thousand dollars of my tax dollars to prevent it.

You can't cheer about a man being crucified and burned alive and then pretend you actually care about genocide. STFU
Why are you okay with the genocide happening in China right now?
How much of your imaginary tax money are you sending to China?
There's awful things happening all over the world. It's weird that you only care about the current thing you've been told to pretend to care about.

That's a lot of assumptions, none of which are accurate.
