Like the Snake Island heroes story, Zelenksy's claim that Russia bombed a Holocaust Memorial is also lie - according to Israeli journalist Ron Ben Yishai who visited the Babyn Yar site in #Kyiv. He said the memorial hasn't been damaged. Closest damage was a TV tower 300m away.

1. On April 19th, during another ceasefire conducted by the Russian military, 140 civilians who lived near the main entrance of the #Azovstal plant were evacuated to safety. Witnesses describe being used as human shields by Ukrainian Azov forces.
2. More statements from civilians evacuated to safety by Russian forces. Azovstal area residents said Ukrainian troops hid inside their homes (using them as human shields). They stole food from the hungry residents. They refused to let residents fetch water & would shoot at them.
3. Mariupol resident who lived near the main entrance of the Azovstal factory says that Ukrainian forces would point guns at locals to prevent them from accessing well water. Another day, explosive shells were fired at their homes from Ukrainian forces in the Azovstal grounds.
The New York Times is reporting that the Ukrainian military struck a town with cluster bombs "in the hope of dislodging Russian troops". The NYT article mentions civilian deaths from AFU shelling. I was SUSPENDED by Twitter for saying this. Will Twitter suspend @nytimes too?
@nytimes The New York Times: "...the Ukrainians’ decision to saturate their own village with a cluster munition that has the capacity to haphazardly kill innocent people underscores their strategic calculation: This is what they needed to do to retake their country, no matter the cost."
New York Times: “...evidence has emerged indicating that Ukraine may have used cluster munitions in this current conflict,” said Mary Wareham, advocacy director of the arms division at Human Rights Watch. “Cluster munitions are... killing and maiming civilians across Ukraine.”
A severely burned Russian POW is tortured with his hands behind his back. He is dragged into a house near Kharkiv by a Ukrainian nationalist. The sadistic soldier stabs him repeatedly in the torso and then gouges out his eyes while he's still alive. The USA arms these demons.
I'm documenting horrendous war crimes on my Telegram channel. Some of these videos/photos are graphic & emotionally traumatizing. But Americans must know what kind of evil, sadistic people our government is arming and funding. Follow me at: t.me/blackstoneintel
I acknowledge that Russian forces are also guilty of war crimes & depravity. But my tax $ is certainly not funding the Russian military. Given that my $ is a form of speech (Citizens United), my rights are being abused by the US govt when my $ arms these devils against my will.
In 2019, Zelensky announced a partial withdrawal of forces from Donbass. His soldiers revolted. He went to Zolote to speak to them. Azov troops told him they wouldn't let him pull back. Here he is getting chewed out by a soldier. Later, nationalists threatened to kill him.
UK article about Azov & other nationalist forces telling President Zelensky that they would not permit him to pull back from the Donbass war. They promised to bring in 10,000 new fighters for every 1,000 he tried to withdraw. Extremists control Ukraine. independent.co.uk/news/world/eur…
The man talking down to President Zelensky in the video is Denys Yantar - former leader of the National Corps party - an offshoot of the ultranationalist Azov Battalion that is home to Nazi extremists. He died in 2020, allegedly from "blood cancer".
Does anyone have any more info to confirm or refute what this American mercenary is saying? If his statements are true, then #Ukraine is a deathtrap for foreign fighters.
I can't respect Americans like the guy who left behind his wife & kids to go fight Russians in Ukraine "to keep the fight from reaching the homeland (the USA)". People who seek out opportunities to kill for money are as bad as rest of the war industry.
In 2019, #Zelensky tried to implement the #Minsk deal to end the #Donbass war, including withdrawing UA forces. #Nazi#AzovBattalion & C14 leaders told him that they'd bring 10,000 militants to fight he tried. They, and their supporters in parliament, threatened to kill Zelensky.
