- What a disgusting thing to say, so every Ukr is a rapist then? The STD % growth must only be because of ukr in the area?
  Do you even fucking hear yourself?
  
  Was it a tankie? I have the user blocked but I just knew this post would be crawling with them.
It is commonly used in all wars.
And? This is common practice in all war. Ukraine certainly has military members who do this also. It's almost like war is a horrific, terrible thing that horrific, terrible people are drawn to.
- Yes those dirty Ukrainian forces... checks notes defending their homes and neighbors.
  
  Yes those righteous, upstanding heroes... checks notes doing absolutely no wrong because everyone on Our Team is so pure.
- Yeah seriously! All those disgusting war crimes the Russians continue to use, that’s totally just because some bad people were drawn to the war and it totally isn’t state sponsored!!! Ukraine and Russia, bOtH sIdEs!!!!!
  That makes all the war crimes, genocide, raping okay!! Both sides guys!!!!!
  you
  
  Yeah, how awful, understanding that war causes both forces to act inhumane is just so stupid, am I right?? 🙄🙄 instead we should pretend that the Ukrainian army is nothing but upstanding righteous heroes.
  Are you illiterate? Nowhere did I say it was okay, just that it isn't news.
- Yes, I'm sure all those Ukrainians were just gagging for Russia to invade so they could get it all out their system.
