The destruction and horror cannot get much worse than it is already, at what point will this be described as Genocide? AFP #UPDATE A mosque in the southeastern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol, where 80 civilians were taking shelter, has been shelled by Russian forces, Ukraine's foreign ministry said on Saturday

Mariupol official tells ⁦@nvanderklippe that 10,000 people may have been killed in the besieged city since the war began. “And if the Russians keep shelling, we may see more than 20,000 people killed” Paywall Mariupol ‘on the edge of total desperation,’ official says, as death toll mounts in besieged Ukrainian city

Male State: The Russian Online Hate Group Backing Putin’s War March 11, 2022 Far-Right Russia They were banned and designated as extremist by a Russian court in October 2021. But Male State — the online gang of racists, homophobes and misogynists Bellingcat investigated last year — has retained a significant following and managed to become a vocal and vile online booster of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. While Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has stated that one of the main aims of his country’s military action is the “denazification” of Ukraine, vile anti-semitic posts and calls for Ukraine’s leaders to be executed are a regular feature on Male State channels. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-world/2022/03/11/male-state-the-russian-online-hate-group-backing-putins-war/ These are the Cluster Munitions Documented by Ukrainian Civilians March 11, 2022 Cluster Munitions Ukraine Over the course of the first 13 days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, civilian deaths have risen steeply. There have been multiple, verifiable incidents of cluster munitions being used in urban areas. Cluster munitions are a type of weapon that deploy a large number of smaller sub-munitions over a target. These sub-munitions then spread and explode over a larger area, increasing the potential for casualties. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-world/2022/03/11/these-are-the-cluster-munitions-documented-by-ukrainian-civilians/

why on earth would I listen to a Russian apologist who deflects whats going on right now in the attack unprovoked illegal attack. You can use all the excuses you want in the War Crimes tribunal

You refer to Kharkiv........................a very good example of my previous post of the Russians indiscriminate bombing of cities and in that particular one 100's dead, feel free to check.

Witty rhetoric it was not. The Russians are not bombing the muddy fields, they are bombing towns, cities, residential area's, medical facilities 18 of those already and killing thousands of civilians on their way. Now get back in your hole with Putin's propaganda

Probably better for you to calm down with that tirade you just blasted off. As for referring to Ukraine as a muddy field really just displays your ignorance and one sided stance on the whole situation.

Background noise and nonsense from Israel who are doing enough occupying themselves. "A Ukrainian senior government official harshly criticized Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's effort to mediate the crisis with Russia. The official said Friday that Bennett is "using the mediation as an excuse to justify the fact that Israel is avoiding transferring military aid to Ukraine or joining the sanctions slapped on Russia."

Putting aside nam, how wrong you are

Thailand's overall positivity rate extremely high at 49.11% with some Provinces even higher, so many cases going under counted here.

PCR test positive cases, total of 24,592 official new infections. 68 official covid deaths recorded. Rapid tests positive cases, 20,385 bringing the total of PCR and ATK results to 44,977 https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/ OWD rolling 7 day average, cases and deaths up to 10th March https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/thailand

The whole video is here but its 2 hours long, when I have time I'll see if I can find the Russia segment.

Not only the young, some hardliners are also now going public. Just watched Russia’s main political talk show with notorious propagandist Soloviev (Mar 9). Couldn’t believe my ears. Two hardcore pro-Putin guests - Shaknazarov and Bagdasarov - acknowledged the impact of sanctions, military failures, and called for an end to the invasion.

True but that did not stop a few going AWOL and are there now. Plenty of British troops on the ground, even a current conservative M.P.s son. Lots of images and videos on this. There is an individual sub reddit where lots of volunteers can ask questions with different teams looking for different skills not just fighters but trauma surgeons and medics.

???? so you didn't actually read the study at all then but expect me to read the comments section of a random article

Sly and sarcastic comments about the EU and clapping hands also don't help stop this mess.

I did. Read it. The sly remark you refer to was an added fact.

I bet you are. Plenty of funds yet to roll in for the attack or should I say "Special Mission" as you refer to it in previous posts.

Red line there surely, Putin has invaded Ukraine and is now inviting other countries to also invade, Syrian forces at that! Anyway bit of an update on it. Putin’s army clearly in trouble. Suggestions Syrian rebels will fight with Ukrainian forces as Assad regime troops help Putin. The world truly turned upside down. Russian Defense Minister Shoigu says there are 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East ready to come to fight with Russian-backed forces in Ukraine. Putin says volunteers should be allowed to fight. Via @Reuters

Good point so the figure of 18 million deaths looks far better and more positive now, you may want to tweet the expert Tim Spector your comparison. While your at it don't forget that Covid is not finished yet and that study was for 2020 - 2021 figures only.

The Stalinisation of Russia As it sinks in that he cannot win in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is resorting to repression at home When Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, he dreamed of restoring the glory of the Russian empire. He has ended up restoring the terror of Josef Stalin. To understand the scale of Mr Putin’s lies, consider how the war was planned. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/03/12/the-stalinisation-of-russia?

Back in the real world and the ongoing atrocities by a murderous dictator who has unleashed the most violent act of unprovoked aggression in Europe since 1939. Russia has just attacked the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. There is an experimental nuclear reactor there. A nearby dormitory is also on fire. Personnel staying in the shelter, shelling continues. Russia systematically attacks nuclear facilities in Ukraine.

The death toll from Covid-19 looks set to exceed the deaths from Spanish flu in 1919 according to new estimates https://twitter.com/timspector/status/1502176926412132356 pdf download Estimating excess mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic analysis of COVID-19-related mortality, 2020–21 http://www.thelancet-press.com/embargo/COVIDexcessmortality.pdf

Indeed, a very relevant point. Take the UK for example, in WW2 there was around 66,375 civilian fatalities. One civilian death is one too many but it does put some perspective on it.

Thai TV.....???? Channel 5 spreads Russian disinfo with fake report on ‘fake’ deaths in Ukraine Two hosts on an army-owned TV station falsely claimed that Ukrainian people “faked casualties” in a report that misrepresented footage from a climate change protest in Austria. The erroneous report by hosts Kanok Ratwongsakul and Teera Tanyapaibul came earlier this week in an episode of their Lao Khao Khon program on the Roya Thai Army’s Channel 5. “Watch this footage, there’re corpses lying there, we believe they are Ukrainian people … Do you see those bodies in the bags? Some bodies are still moving,” said Kanok, a reporter known for his far-right stance and history of distorted reporting. “The floor’s hot, maybe,” Teera said. https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/channel-5-spreads-russian-disinfo-with-fake-report-on-fake-deaths-in-ukraine/
