Good to hear a little clarity from Macron with his backing of Ukraine in the war: Speaking of a possible compromise, Macron ruled out giving up Russian-occupied Crimea and the occupied part of the Donbas. “I believe that Ukraine fights for its territorial integrity and sovereignty,” he said. “You stand for democratic values, international rule of law, and these values are important for the world and for Europe,” “Neither France nor any other country can set conditions for Ukraine based on which peace talks should be held,” Ukraine must 'resist and win' - Macron French President Emmanuel Macron says Ukraine must win the war against Russia, as he visited the town of Irpin outside the capital Kyiv. Macron told journalists in response to a question on his previous remarks that Russia must not be humiliated.

The 2 US soldiers recently captured are now having their fates discussed on Russian TV Meanwhile on Russian state TV, they're already discussing the death penalty as the only possible outcome for two Americans, Alexander John-Robert Drueke and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, reportedly captured by Russian forces in Ukraine [which is yet to be confirmed].

Is there a reason that the US would like to draw this war out as long as possible? The details you are looking for are all in a video posted earlier with Austin and Gen. Milley

Sorry to disappoint you but you won't find this on Russia Today Ukraine’s ‘Nuremberg Moment’ Amid Flood of Alleged Russian War Crimes 10th June 2022 As Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, top Biden administration officials are working behind the scenes with the Ukrainian government and European allies to document a tsunami of war crimes allegedly committed by Russian forces. But the sheer volume of the documented war crime cases could be too overwhelming for Ukraine’s justice system as well as for the International Criminal Court (ICC), raising questions of how many cases will be brought to trial and how many accused Russian war criminals could ultimately face justice. “This is a Nuremberg moment in terms of just the sheer scale of the breach of the rules-based international order that has been perpetrated by Russia in this invasion,” said Beth Van Schaack, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/06/10/ukraines-nuremberg-moment-amid-flood-of-alleged-russian-war-crimes/ Ukraine reports 15,000 suspected war crimes Around 15,000 suspected war crimes have been reported in Ukraine since the war began, with 200 to 300 more reported daily, its chief prosecutor said. Some 600 suspects have been identified and 80 prosecutions have begun, Iryna Venediktova told reporters in The Hague. The list of suspects includes "top military, politicians and propaganda agents of Russia", she added. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61652467 Lets also not forget the 2 British and 1 Moroccan sentenced to death by a kangaroo court which I seem to remember you discussing in a few posts

Yes of course, waste all that precious ammo, grenades and manpads, have bullets whizzing past your head just for a set up. Perhaps the reality is that when they are fighting they use cross bows..............???? Putin also thinks its pointless going on about war crimes, the international community does not including Ukraine

Weren't those helicopters laid to rest nicely on the first day of the invasion when they tried to take the airbase near Kiev and got repelled by the Ukrainians? Not much more to talk about on that front. Since then the the amount of war crimes committed have been one of the sadder aspects of this attack that makes it so notable and forms very much part of the progression of Russia's barbarism. More realities you prefer not to talk about

From just 9 hours ago: Defense Secretary Austin and Gen. Milley hold news briefing after Ukraine meeting This is the full press briefing, 35 mins but covers most items with up to date assessments including the delivery of military aid in responses to the Ukraine requests at a meeting in Brussels with some 50 countries backing Ukraine. For those who lack emotions in this war, bear a thought for the Ukrainians and how General Milley put it. @25.53 General Milley: "For Ukraine, this is an existential threat, they're fighting for the very life of their country, your ability to endure suffering, your ability to endure casualties is directly proportional to the object to be obtained, if the object to be obtained is the survival of your country then you're going to sustain it. As long as they have the means to fight then I think they will continue to fight." Austin: "We can't afford to let up and we can't lose steam. The stakes are too high. Ukraine is facing a pivotal moment on the battlefield," "We must intensify our shared commitment to Ukraine's self defence, and we must push ourselves even harder to ensure that Ukraine can defend itself, its citizens and its territory." If anyone thinks the west or Ukraine is lacking the will or their objectives have changed then watch the vid. Meanwhile Putin's alter ego "Peter the Great" will be giving his annual speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on the 17th June. Its rumored his new world order will again be the rhetoric.

Disregarding your completely irrelevant response to the facts in the post you replied to, without emotions, wars would be decided by the push of red buttons.
