"Russian forces dropped a powerful bomb on a theatre in the encircled Ukrainian port city of Mariupol where hundreds of civilians were sheltering on Wednesday, Ukraine's foreign ministry said."
"Russia denies targeting civilians. In Moscow, the defence ministry said its forces had not struck the building and instead accused the Azov Battalion, a far-right Ukrainian militia, of blowing it up, RIA news agency said."
if you go on twitter, the story is being completely framed as 100% accurate and a Russian atrocity/war crime despite there being no real proof of anything yet. So I'm really skeptical. This seems extremely convenient "terrible, clearly wrong thing" to occur the same day as further peace talks.
Obviously, if it is real, it's terrible and either was committed by Russia out of stupidity/confusion, or pure malice. But I'll hold my breath before believing anything like this coming from Ukraine at this point.
They should all be tried at the Hague.
Along with tons of Ukrainians and Russians and NATO ghouls alike.
I have some unfortunate news.
I know. The only way justice will ever happen to NATO is through a reform of the UN where security council vetoes are stripped from the winners of WWII.
One can still dream though. NATO has been a shield for dozens of wars of imperial/colonial aggression since its founding. It is a menace to the world.
New security council where the veto votes are China, Cuba, the DPRK, Laos, and Vietnam. :party-sicko:
Props for remembering Laos.
Can we get official recognition of Transnistria while we’re at it?
Let's add in the CHAZ too.
Transnistria is a legitimate country, it’s just not recognized by a chunk of the UN (mostly imperial core)
Capitol Hill? Third time's the charm I guess.
Plus cetaceans and corvid councils.
