Gods he looks like a child. What a damn waste. His life is basically over.

The two captured in Mariupol? In Ukraine, defending Ukraine, at Ukraine’s invitation, and they “were busted” somewhere they shouldn’t have been? The only people who shouldn’t be there are the Russian invaders.

The river may or may not have been crossed in any great numbers, after 3 attempts!, but the loss of so many troops, equipment makes it a hollow victory. Then if they did cross the river they have to get their logistics vehicles over it in a continuous flow. A challenge on its own as they don’t own the airspace and their logistics are woeful using paved roads.

Where exactly does it say they were stopped?

It is the hope of myself and 99.9% of people around the world that Putin and his tribe be tried for war crimes against humanity ~ to place them all in the trash so that we can rid this plant of cancer we call Russia.

I feel sorry very sorry for this young man, I was in the military at his age and if was told to shoot by my elders 22 or 23n seasoned soldiers I too (ashamedly) would probably have done the same. Luckily my elders 23/24 had training and a concept of morals. Peer pressure can be overwhelming as a young person. Seems the Russian army is similar to the Lord's Revolutionary Army, use children!

Of course Russia doesn’t want the bodies of their own soldiers back. They’re only so much worthless cannon fodder to them and a liability in their internal propaganda campaign.

Can I google a massacre 80 years before that one to give it some context, so about 160 years ago? How far back are you willing to go?

It's all gone very quiet about the supposed capture by the DPR forces of high-ranking foreign military in Azovstal, foreign mercenaries in other areas and two Russian-speaking British SAS chaps, who were busted somewhere they shouldn't have been. The rumours were that they were being taken to Moscow for trial, but seem to have faded recently....

You can't hope for a fair trial.

A show trial. I’m curious of the reasoning behind the guard covering his face. Doesn’t exactly shout “justice” does it?
can’t wait to read about all the corruption from this US proxy war in about 15 years.

Really? I think you will find that the Russian forces in the Donbas have been slowly moving in one direction... That is forward towards the borders of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Purple,he reaping,what he sowed,even though Ukraine has a corrupt judicial system

Only way Putin will see justice is by the laws of nature,when he is dead

Cricky......
The crossing of a single river and destruction of a handful of tanks are both meaningless in the grand scale of things. Look at the map. One team is going forward to its objectives. The other has to result to posting dubiously edited videos of a few destroyed enemy tanks.
Mr Kipling
Sorry, Ukraine fans... Watch the full video with analysis and see that this news has been debunked. The river has been crossed and the Russian advance continues.

I stopped watching Ukraine news for one day, after using TOR, I found videos of what happens to captured Russian soldiers. There is a special place in hell for Azov, Right Sector, Aiden, and the others. And their western backers.
for some historical context, google “Volyn Massacre”.
