Throughout the eleven months of conflict in Ukraine, Kiev authorities have on multiple occasions charged that Russian airstrikes have targeted hospitals, clinics, apartment blocks, and other civilian sites. But on Saturday Russia’s Defense Ministry said that hospitals in Russian-controlled regions are being targeted by Ukraine’s military. What’s more is that the Russians say a deadly attack against civilians was carried out using US weaponry.
The ministry said 14 were killed and 24 wounded – most of them “hospital patients and medical staff” when a hospital was struck by rockets in the Luhansk Oblast town of Novoaidar. A statement alleged that on Saturday morning “the Ukrainian armed forces deliberately attacked the building of a district hospital with rockets of a U.S.-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system.”
It further indicated the hospital had been providing “necessary medical assistance to the local population and military personnel for many months” – while calling the crime “deliberate”.
“A deliberate missile strike on a known active civilian medical facility is, without doubt, a grave war crime by the Kiev regime,” the ministry said, according to the AFP. The statement further noted that “All the victims are being provided with professional medical aid.”
Defense officials are now using language that echoes the Ukrainian side and Western side, vowing that the ‘war crime’ would be investigated and that everyone that planned and implemented the strikes would be “brought to justice.” If Ukraine acknowledges the attack, it will likely focus on calling the hospital a ‘military target’ – given the location also treated Russian soldiers.
Meanwhile, on the other side, EU efforts to establish a special Russian war crimes tribunal moved forward this week. “The European Union’s assembly called on the member states on Thursday to back the creation of a special court to judge any war crime of aggression by Russia in Ukraine,” AP reported.

“The nonbinding resolution was approved by a 472-19 vote with 33 abstentions in the European Parliament, and underscored the EU’s willingness to make sure Moscow should be brought to justice for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” AP detailed.
Currently, Russia is escalating attacks in an around the strategic Donetsk region city of Bakhmut, with international and Western reports acknowledging that Russian forces have the battlefield momentum and upper hand at this point.

The Wall Street Journal reports Saturday that “Inside Bakhmut, gunshots echoed from the east side of the river that bisects the city. Waves of Russian troops were pushing in from the east, and two pontoon bridges across the river hit this week were passable only by foot, Ukrainian soldiers said.”
“Ukrainians said they were fighting for each block, but were outnumbered and outgunned, and the Russians were slowly taking territory in the city,” the report adds. Some war monitors have said the Russians have the city almost encircled at this critical juncture.

If one believes a single thing from western media about the Ukey
shitshow, then one is dumber than a stump.
Send ALL the Multicolored Hair Corp Battalions over to help “fight” in PewKraine.
They will all be heroes.
Even if its only in their own mind….

On a serious note, talking about
“war crimes tribunals” seems
designed to keep all sides fighting,
for all contestants should remember
the Kangaroo Court at Nürmburg.
It also seems no one would
want to be written into history as
being on the wrong side the way
Germany was post 1937.
Pepe Escobar:
Zaluzhny may have told the Pentagon there are 232,000 killed.
Stratfor – a mediocre CIA front – goes for 305,000 killed.
Chinese intel takes no prisoners: “irretrievable losses” exceed 500,000 and may have reached 680,000.

(Interesting, my estimate was 250,000 and counting in late November, so now closing in on 300,000.)

I tell Family/Friends and get blank looks…………
So sick of it (what we do – blank looks, used to it).
Hello God, will you take my long distance call?
Tonto replies, “What you mean, ‘we’ Kemo Sabe?”
Lord save those harmed by Our governments hand.
That would be hundreds of millions of Americans.
Hey Europeons! (esp Sweden and Finland). This is what happens when you ally yourselves with the US. You, too, polacks.
1. Russia had to create it’s own vaccine or become beholden to the WEF’s mRNA.
2. Putin is no virus expert so had to hand the job of creating the Russian vaccine to the health ministry. WEF has had contacts in Russia but they are not as pervasive as in the west. The west did everything in it’s power to demonize the Russian vaccine.
3. Putin is on record telling local authorities NOT to require the vax.
Nice try, but you end up with just more half-truths.
1. Aren’t you mixing up WEF and WHO?
2. The speed with which Gamaleya developed it, strongly implies at least a noticeable bunch of its leading team members were connected to Western labs, and had sucked up Western ‘philosophy’ on how to do (or not do) bio-research. It would be interesting to learn if anything has changed in Gamaleya’s thinking.
Also no one knows, and it seems not a single author has bothered trying to find out, if Sputnik V (or Adenovirus-based vaxxes in general) use [or even can use] pseudo-Uridine.
3. Putin is also on record strongly recommending every adult to get Sputnik V (=the main Russian “vaxx.”) On what you mentioned, it seems to me Putin only tried to reign in certain locals, as especially Moscow (I’m not even sure if city or Oblast) had started requiring the vaxx, at least for certain professions. The fact that Moscow in 2022 then decided to pay back all fines on non-adherence to Covid rules, seems to imply a certain learning curve was achieved.
4. It is a known to all “secret” in Russia, that scores of Russian doctors personally torpedoed the vaxx rollout, by -on request- squirting the shot down the drain etc., as they [doctors] were very skeptical of the rushed rollout themselves. That is the big plus when you live in a country where a majority of people has themselves lived through times where you couldn’t believe, much less trust, a single word the gov’t told you and they knew it!
5. Nobody freaking knows if the mortality rate in Russia is showing anomalies (in 2021 and 2022), too.
Furthermore, no one knows if post vaxx-rollout there was/is more serious monitoring [than in the West] of the takers, if they show unusual sickness or death rates.
6. I can personally tell you, after trying to buy IVM in three pharmacies in a [Russian] pop. 6000 village: Russian pharmacists seem to be as controlled and/or brainwashed as Western ones, as I got the following replies: a) “ask at the veterinary pharmacy”; b) “we don’t have it and don’t [customer-]order things we don’t have”; c) [showing her a pic of Indian IVM package] “that doesn’t exist.”
However, still in Russia, I was able without the slightest problem to online buy 200x 12mg IVM tablets -made in India, as usual- for 30¢ a tablet including shipping, and had the package in my hands 5 days later.
