There is a tendency for governments to lie about such things...
You are treading softly there and they are not dreams.
Again, I can neither agree nor understand your whitewashing of certain actions. If you are dead it is neither important nor correct if they killed a hundred or a thousand at the same time.
I find disgusting trying to justify that an act committed for King & Country is wrong and the same act committed for Oil & Profits is right. As a British officer said: What is the difference between throwing children into the fire or raining fire on top of children. The act is the same, burning children alive.
(In a personal note, I was actually living under a dictatorship, one of those clap in the back by the Government of the United States of America for doing such a good job; like Saddam Hussein, for example).
If you are a member of the Armed Forces and you participate in a coup d'etat, you are a traitor, the act is treason. For King, for Country or for a bottle of wine, you are a traitor.
Now, for our Russian friend...
MOSCOW, June 26. /TASS/. About 70 Ukrainian militants who were holed up in the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk were taken prisoner, LPR (Lugansk People’s Republic) Ambassador to Russia Rodion Miroshnik announced on Sunday."First of all, a lot of forces were eliminated there. Quite active assault operations were conducted there and part of them [Ukrainian militants] tried to break through towards the Seversky Donets and some part could have escaped. Not quite many of them were captured, at least about 50-70 men whom local residents are talking about," Miroshnik said in a live broadcast on the Soloviev Live TV Channel.
Can you refute him?, are you still in posession of the absolute truth?
"At present, between 1,000 and 1,200 civilians are held as hostages on the territory of Azot. They have been held there against their will, for quite a while. There is no water, no food, no medicines. About 127 of them are children," Vitaly Kiselev said.
But, if you believe everything Russia says, you should believe everything Ukraine says. Are you rolling a die to believe things?
According to the Russian defense minister, the Ukrainian army lost 196 tanks and other armored vehicles, 12 aircraft, a helicopter, 65 drones, six long-range missile systems, 166 field artillery pieces and mortars, as well as 215 vehicles. "The enemy left 39 tanks and other armored vehicles, 11 artillery pieces and mortars in Lisichansk," he added.
Claimed: 196; confirmed: 39. Do we think Ukraine is less creative in its counting? Still, this is what they "report", with no
independent confirmation.
