Ukrainian forces that have occupied part of Kursk Region have committed atrocities against civilians while using them as human shields, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia's Chechen Republic has claimed.
In a post on Telegram on Monday, Apty Alaudinov recounted an episode in the border town of Sudzha, where he said Ukrainian troops had entered a residential house with children inside.
“In this building, they settled down on the ground floor… and chased children and teachers upstairs to use them as a shield,” he said, adding that this practice is widespread.
He claimed that first-person footage filmed by the Ukrainians had ended up in Russian hands, and showed the brutality of Kiev’s forces.
“I received a huge number of photos in which I saw civilians who were simply shot at point-blank [range], in the head and from the back. All these civilians, unfortunately, died,” he said, expressing his condolences and vowing revenge.
Doesn't mean that everyone in the towers deserved to be blown up or crushed. Also - the more you kill, the more Amerika's got to show for their public to manufacture consent for the wars.
That's not the thing people criticized you for - I think this point is rather obvious to everyone (myself included), no one was disagreeing with it.
I am pretty sure no one's been making bad faith arguments. It's more like someone's got backlash and instead of doing selfcrit decided to double down.
You are contradicting yourself. Is it the world of rather or not the world of rather?
Also - you've mentioned several times how it's all Ukrainian civilians' fault. THAT is a bad faith argument. You know, whatever fault there can be ascribed - western civilians are a zillion times more guilty, judging by that logic. Thing is - they'll get away with it scot-free, and we're already paying with our lives. Funny how that works.
