This woman is going to show the Russian’s “liberation” narrative for the absolute lie it is.

She’s going to be Putin’s worst nightmare as she gives factual, compelling believable testimony into what was ordained policy.

One would think that Slobodan and Radovan and their experiences with The Hague would have taught mini-me a thing or two about the futility of avoiding the consequences of war crimes.

Sadly, it seems he will need to learn his lesson first hand.

Thankfully she survived her ordeal to give testimony. It sometimes takes years for justice to catch up to war criminals, but it does.

Russian: “Do you know why we do this to you?”

Ukrainian: “Because you can.”

Exactly.

If she cared, she would of told them to drop their arms and surrender, or at least free the human shields the neo-Nazis were holding.

Rodney - would you say the same thing to Russian medics on the other side? For some reason, you aren't treating Russia and Ukraine as equal members of the community of nations, instead expecting one to be subservient to the other. Why is that?

I'm sure she told all the Russians to do that. They weren't listening.

How do you know she didn’t?

You don’t.

Did you miss the part where she was kept in captivity for 3 months?

She sure don’t look like a medic.

So you want to discredit her testimony because she isn’t wearing a white hat with a Red Cross in it.

I wonder how those who claim that it was Russia who bombed the prison holding the people she says were being tortured and killed by Russia to cover up that act feel about someone they were willing to let go discredit that theory?

Oh, wait, they're cheering because her claims bolster their theory that it was Russia who murdered the civilians in Bucha because Russia is willing to openly commit such crimes.

Of course, usually when someone is willing to offer up two completely conflicting arguments about how they're innocent of being the perpetrator, pointing the finger at someone they hate as the guilty party, investigators figure they're the ones who did the crimes, not those they're desperately trying to implicate.

Oh, it is perhaps irrelevant, or maybe not, that Zelensky ordered her to 'fight to the death rather than surrender' and she defied his orders, but when she found herself back in his control, has been saying exactly what his propaganda machine was saying before she chose to surrender.

Zelensky ordered a volunteer medic to fight to the death?

Such a famous man, surely such a quote would be readily available but I can’t seem to find it.

Could you provide a link perhaps?

Russia has not responded to the allegations. Both the United Nations and the international Red Cross say they have been denied access to prisoners.

Russia should be pariah among nations.

…their theory that it was Russia who murdered the civilians in Bucha because Russia is willing to openly commit such crimes.

Not a theory. A fact. No amount of gaslighting will change it

New mass graves are being found in the regained areas.

Bob - I found some links that say Moscow claims that Zelenskyy ordered them to fight to the death, but cannot find the words from Zelenskyy itself.

Maybe Richard Pearce would be so kind as to share his source showing the direct quote form Zelenskyy?
