Ukrainian paramilitaries are abducting and killing officials viewed as insufficiently loyal -- with tacit support of the government.

If this were happening in Putin's Russia, it would be the #1 story in America.

But we stay silent about the murders, because it's our ally.

This is the official post from a senior Ukrainian governed official celebrating the mayor's abduction and extra-judicial killing.

I've redacted the photo of the corpse.

He boasts that there's "one less traitor to Ukraine," thanks to the actions of "unknown patriots."

If you don't believe me, go to Telegram and read the statement yourself using Google Translate.

But be warned, you'll see the photo of the victim.

He appears to have been bound with duct tape at the time he was executed.

This isn't some random person celebrating the extra-judicial killing.

Heraschenko was previously the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, and he's still a senior advisor to Zelensky's government.

He's openly applauding death squads killing "traitors" inside Ukraine.

I have an urgent question for President @ZelenskyyUa: Do YOU support the kidnapping and murder of Vladimir Struk?

You have impressed the world with your courage. But now one of YOUR senior advisors is celebrating a war crime!

Will YOU stay silent? Or will YOU take a stand?

У меня срочный вопрос к президенту @ZelenskyyUa: Вы поддерживаете похищение и убийство Владимира Струка?

Вы поразили мир своим мужеством. Но теперь один из Ваших главных советников празднует военное преступление!

Вы будете молчать? Или осудите это?
