Russia’s U.N. ambassador alleged Monday that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake for a Ukrainian soldier in a village café where a missile last week killed 52 people, even as Security Council members retorted that Russia was responsible for starting the war and committing crimes.
Vassily Nebenzia told a U.N. Security Council meeting called by Ukraine that the soldier was “a high-ranking Ukrainian nationalist,” with “a lot of neo-Nazi accomplices attending.”
In Thursday’s strike by a Russian Iskander ballistic missile, the village of Hroza in the northeastern Kharkiv region, lost over 15% of its 300 population. The café, which had reopened for the wake, was obliterated, and whole families perished.
This rhymes so hard with US government statements regarding our own bombings of weddings, funerals etc. Terrorists, “military aged men”.
Russia is a terrorist nation.
it’s weird that Nazis call other people Nazis.
That’s not weird at all. Here’s how neo-nazi mindset works:
“We should label these other people nazis, because the public knows that the nazis were the bad guys. It’s a powerful analogy that resonates with the public.”
…
“Why are you calling us nazis? Are you saying we are the direct political continuation of the NSDAP? You, sir, are factually incorrect!”
Why would Putin’s men show up there? Weird.
Does this mean that Russia is allowed to missile strike Florida?
People have been talking about settling in for a long war in Ukraine but this would a really quick way to end it
Admit mistake or draw 25 cards
Buys the whole fucking deck twice
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vassily Nebenzia told a U.N. Security Council meeting called by Ukraine that the soldier was “a high-ranking Ukrainian nationalist,” with “a lot of neo-Nazi accomplices attending.”
“This is one of the deadliest strikes by Russia against Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion last year,” he said, stressing U.S. support for investigators from the U.N. and local authorities who have gone to Hroza to gather possible evidence of war crimes.
“We remind that if the Kyiv regime concentrates soldiers in a given place they become a legitimate target for strikes including from the point of view of IHL,” the initials for international humanitarian law, he told the Security Council.
Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya told the Security Council that Ukrainians remember similar stories of entire settlements destroyed and erased from the map during the Nazi invasion 80 years ago.
He accused Russia of using Nazi Germany’s Third Reich as “its role model” by killing people, attempting to annex territory, “fueling imperial sentiments,” and trying “to whitewash their aggression by pretending to defend themselves from imaginary attacks.”
Nebenzia claimed that Ukraine’s government wrings its hands about civilians who died in airstrikes on hotels, hostels, cafes and shops, “and then a large number of obituaries of foreign mercenaries and soldiers appear.”
