It is hard not to feel a seething hatred after brutal attacks on civilians like at the Kramatorsk train station today. What makes it worse is seeing pro-Russian entities denying them, or worse claiming these are Ukrainian false flag attacks.
The Russian government will go speak at the UN and deny what we can see with our very own eyes.
Russian propaganda for years has been talking about the Ukrainians committing genocide in the Donbas. Even suggesting children being crucified and other outlandish stuff.
Just the other day, the Russian ambassador to the UN mentioned a Meduza interview where a Ukrainian woman in Bucha was telling about Russian troops giving aid in a basement. Omitting the woman's following statement that the Russian troops then threw a grenade into the basement.
Meanwhile, tankies are scouring the internet for any instance where someone from a NATO country may have once gone to dinner at the same restaurant as a member of the Azov Battalion to justify this war as a "de-Nazification campaign," but they'll ignore literally every single war crime committed by the Russia, no matter what.
