Also, kidnapping Ukrainian children.

And raping women and refusing to return fallen soldiers to their families.

u/tomato_army 18h ago

Nit to mention looting and pillaging

u/connleth 18h ago

And summary execution of POWs

u/NiNdo4589 16h ago

Dont forget the POW dick snipping before that.

u/AnmlBri 12h ago

u/ajepper 7h ago

wtf you watched a video of that? that sounds really disturbing. I hope it was at least low resolution, and no sound. where did you even find such a thing?!

And spreading millions of ft of fibor optic cable across the country to run the drones.

u/MrCSeesYou 16h ago

And continued daily torture of pow's

u/1611basilean 15h ago

When the war started Russian citizens on the news made the point Ukrainians are our friends. With friends like that who needs anemones.

"It's only cool when WE do it." - Putin

u/TiggTigg07 18h ago

Exactly, anyone else is just downright rude.

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 15h ago

Classic narcissism. Trump said anyone who challenges him is “nasty”. Same thing.

u/financial_pete 17h ago

He's starting to sound like the orange emperor. You know, his bozom budy in the white house.

u/No_Internal9345 17h ago

Those that rape children together...

u/JosephOtaku1989 15h ago

Alongside the deceased child sex offender named Epstein.

u/No_Internal9345 15h ago

allegedly deceased

u/Sure-Boysenberry5491 14h ago

Israeli deceased

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 15h ago

Does he sound like the orange stain, or does the orange stain sound like him?

u/Real-Document-6577 18h ago

Putin “…Not like that!”

u/FrostingSuper9941 16h ago

To be fair...Trump too, it's not only Putin's playbook.

u/Jedi_Mind_Chick 18h ago

Love this!

u/Real-Document-6577 18h ago

Awkward Israeli side glance…

u/Medical-Ad-6079 17h ago

Cannot upvote this enough.

u/mslass 14h ago

Like the red army did in Berlin in 1945?

u/Ragnarawr 18h ago

Rigging the corpses they do return either explosives.

5

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 15h ago

I see your autocorrect changes “with” to “either” too. Maybe there’s a poltergeist in all our phones.

u/Swansaknight 18h ago

Not just women…

The depressing thing is that every single person commenting so far (I'm not done scrolling) has said only things that have been proven true. It's almost too sad to read it all. I'd be comforted if I could at least say, "well THAT claim isn't true, though." But not one of them is.

Russians decades from now will still be ashamed of what Russians today are doing.

u/Im_Just_A_Tourist 18h ago

They returned them with explosives packed in the bodies in some instances.

23

u/ContractElegant4310 17h ago

And castrating and executing Ukrainian POWs.

7

u/21Rollie 17h ago

And androciding villages when they’re on the retreat

5

u/National-Charity-435 16h ago

And rigging their corpses with explosives

6

u/Gharvar 15h ago

They don't even return their own. I've seen enough videos of Russian soldiers walking past bodies of their own compatriot on their way to become another one of those bodies... You see a guy making his way to the frontline and their little path has bodies all over the place.

6

u/JosephOtaku1989 15h ago

And committing brutal war crimes, like the one in Bucha.

5

u/TheRandomSong 16h ago

I think they eased up on that simply bc they have a lot of dead soldiers too. A lot more than they're saying for sure

4

u/PokemonSapphire 15h ago

refusing to return fallen soldiers to their families.

I remember earlier in the war Ukraine was reporting that some of the bodies that were returned had organs removed and I could have swore I saw a report that they somehow boobytrapped one of the bodies.

3

u/Mechapebbles 13h ago

Or when they did return their bodies, they'd do so with explosives stuffed inside

3

u/denise_la_cerise 13h ago

Not just women, raping children of all genders too.

2

u/Sure_Ad536 12h ago

And even when returning bodies, they sometimes have parts of the body missing, such as a Ukrainian Journalist's body without their eyeballs, parts of their brain, and their windpipe, as well as showing signs of electrocution.

u/ChiefsHat 16h ago

Okay, the latter is just petty. Everything else is awful, but that’s just schoolyard bully levels of pettiness.

u/Lo0niegardner10 16h ago edited 16h ago

Russia had returned 500 Ukrainians and received 31 Russians at the most recent casualty exchange. And 261 Ukrainians for 24 Russians at the next most recent one so either youre misinformed or theres way more dead Ukrainians than Russians

u/Fresh_Meringue1896 16h ago edited 16h ago

Dejen de hablar boludeces...en esa guerra hay intereses de que dure varios años de ambas partes y de otros países también...preocupense más por lo que Israel le hace a palestina, irán, libano...no sean pelotudos

u/NahImGood231 18h ago

Dont forget murdering Orthodox priests and burning down churches. Oh wait, thats Ukranazis that did that.

15

u/Real-Document-6577 18h ago

Fighting the battle for social opinion with propaganda on the front lines of global social media huh?

7

u/manuelhe 18h ago

Russia needs to withdraw from Ukraine( opinion not propaganda)

5

u/Real-Document-6577 17h ago

Agreed. I take the aside of non-aggressors.
Putin should have just kept his army at home.

7

u/cpeterkelly 16h ago

To be fair, Russia isn't even returning their own fallen soldiers to their own families...

4

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 15h ago

And “reeducating” them to be “good little Russians”. Ukraine was supposed to shrug and say, Well, that’s life”?

5

u/Sure_Ad536 12h ago

And creating a database of those children where they can be sorted by hair colour, gender, age and assessed by their "obedience". You know, treating children like items in a catalogue.

3

u/Pristine-Pen-9885 11h ago

Little Russian robots.

6

u/Hank_Scorpi 16h ago

Sadly almost NOONE talks of the yoinked 10,000 children. ABSOLUTELY NOONE

3

u/BeepBotBoopBeep 16h ago

This is really an evil monster move by Putin. Not one that people should end up fearing, but should be something people should be extremely angry about. Never forget that Putin is the mastermind of all these evil deeds. He will try to create a scenario that he hopes will deviate from his narrative plan. Don’t be fooled, Putin has always been about himself, not even about Russian citizens, much less the rest of the world.

u/ReachSpecialist4647 14h ago

And shooting down that plane full of civilians

u/ZachF8119 15h ago

They see it a repatriation of their own citizenry.
