      that's what I was hoping for. They say there is going to be a third round soon and russian side seems to be happy with the results so far

        i really hope this works. so far the problem was not the regular Ukrainian military but the nazi battalions incorporated into it blocking civilians (by shooting them) from leaving cities. guess we'll see if Kiyev has any control over them soon

          so far the problem was not the regular Ukrainian military

          At least 3 documented evidences of Ukrainian military shooting and running over civilians so far, Ukrainian military is just like the police. The nazis are not a case of bad apples. An institution full of bad apples just makes it a rotten piece of shit.

            I completely agree, just trying not to be too categorical not to alienate people. It's the fog of war after all, a lot of unverified or unverifiable information, more will become clear in 50-70 years if there's anything left to declassify. But there's a lot of pple in the regular Ukrainian army more than willing to surrender, slavs don't want to fight slavs, but it's the nazi elements not letting them do so. Plus an incredible misinformation campaign going on.

              Russians are allowing Ukrainian soldiers who surrender to return to their homes disarmed, with only signing a pledge that they will never fight Russia again.

              However they are executing Avoz, Right Sector and other Nazis on the spot

            Yeah it happened after Maidan

            Check out Arsen Avakov, the Ukrainian minister of the interior who was the one in charge of creating a national guard for the new regime and for quelling the separatists. He appointed Azov guys as governors and police chiefs of all the Oblasts (see Vadym Troyan (AZOV) who was appointed Kiev chief of police, or Maksym Marchenko (AIDAR) who was appointed governor of Odessa oblast). He integrated 30 Nazi paramilitaries into the National Guard.

              Article about him. WSWS has had pretty good takes on this whole thing so far. Not much mention of appointing Governors and police chiefs from the far right.

                Here’s an article of a Ukrainian Rabbi decrying his appointment of the Kiev police chief. The Rabbi was forced out of the country through political persecution and ostracized and neither the police chief nor the interior minister were removed

                Use this the next time a lib says Zelenskyy is a Jew so there can’t be Nazis in the government

                Avakov went to Kharkov to personally oversee its defense. Inshallah he is de-nazified by now
