It's ongoing right now btw, more masked people hunting people down all across the country, now from gas stations and even on the roads...
People are getting beaten, told to lie face down on the ground, there are (for now unconfirmed) reports of a man dying in hospital after "recruitment officers" beat him and tried to busify him (women bystanders managed to free him, but seems that it was too late)...
The things that are happening right now is a fucking horror.
In the last few days Zelensky's regime hugely ramped up the kidnappings, this news article is about a single case. Bars, concerts, theaters, shopping centers, everything in the big towns is being raided by "recruitment officers" and "police", some of them are covered in masks and have rifles. Men are kidnapped and sent to die.
Zelensky has already cleansed/genocided villages througout the country (it's safer because media pays less attention to villages), then it was smaller towns and now it's time for the big towns.
Please stop supporting this murderer before he finishes off the entire country. I have lots of friends and family members who did not manage to escape the country, and I live in fear that any day might be the day they get kidnapped and sent to die...
I just... don't understand... a rapist, felon, traitor, failed businessman, among a looooong list of other shitty traits... how the hell can someone wake up and go, "This guy needs to be President!"?????
Well, I do wake up every day and hope that he becomes president. He is the only one who promises to stop the genocide and suffering of Ukrainians. Dunno how many US citizens care about it, but hopefully it's a non-negligible amount :)
I guess Zelensky listened to him...
There are news of mass kidnappings in Kiev, Kharkiv and a couple of other cities... :(
Restaraunts, bars, concerts - raids are everywhere.
Yeah I am quite sure that this is Russian propaganda and misinformation. Every reliable source not bribed by Putin will tell you that every Ukrainian is happy to die protecting the regime and our glorious master Zelensky that is leading us to the victory in the name of Bandera. Well, except a few millions of us in Poland... Dunno how did that happen...
Okay, even if there is some truth in this article - the west knows best what's good for Ukraine, so please continue sending Zelensky more money so that he can stay in power and continue massacring hundreds of thousands more of us. After all, everybody who refuses to die is a traitor or Russian bot.
I wonder sometimes, if people who support Zelensky's regime were subject to the same "busification" that Ukrainians are going through, how would their opinions change?
If you knew that at any day, either you, or your son, your brother, your husband, your father, your friend could be kidnapped from the streets and sent to die, would you still support such a regime?..
Anyway, I think this is the first time I see this word in foreign media, despite reading it almost every day from Ukrainian sources. And that's good news, maybe if more people learn about what actually happens in Ukraine they will stop supporting this shit..
You jest, but go to .world or c/Ukraine and you'll see this type of stuff said without a hint of irony, dead serious
I know :(
I used to comment there, because I think it's way more productive to argue with people that disagree with you (because there is a chance to persuade them that concentration camps, kidnapping people, nazism, language police, etc. is not okay) instead of having a circlejerk on .ml, but it's kinda pointless when their mods delete every comment that goes against their narrative as misinformation...
The locals who refused to leave did so either out of stubbornness or for fear of starting over in a new place.
"Stubbornness or fear of starting ovr in a new place"? Oh really? Are you sure that Zelensky turning Pokrovsk and the rest of the country into a concentration camp is not somehow related to this?
A small group known as zhduny, or “the waiting ones”, supports the Russian war effort, believing life will improve under their rule.
How can they be so stupid?! Everyone knows that Ukraine means freedom and democracy, while people on territories liberated by Russia are mass imprisioned, forbidden from leaving the country, put into concentration camps, kidnapped from the streets and homes, language police is introduced, etc.
Yeah, right. Zelensky won’t be able to “terrorize” Ukrainians by resisting an imperialist invasion
Oh yeah, because it's Zelensky who is resisting this "imperialist invasion", right? It's him, his family, his friends who are dying in the meatgrinder.
Oh wait, no it is not, he is flying around the world giving speeches about freedom, democracy and all that stuff, all while Ukrainians are imprisoned in the country and kidnapped from the streets and sent to die.
and Putin will turn the entire country into a concentration camp
Tell me more about those concentration camps. Tell me about concentration camps in Crimea? Tell me about the ones in Melitopol? Tell me, how Ukrainians who are on liberated territories are forced to stay there, how they are not free to leave at any moment (in contrast to those who are on Ukraine controlled territories)? I would love to know more about it.
People are literally trying to escape the country by rivers/mountains, with some dying there, they don't want to fight.
People are afraid from leaving their homes, because they might be sent to the meatgrinder, they don't want to fight.
It doesn't show English as available subtitles for me.
At least on the PC version you should be able to turn on auto-generated ones.
Would also be helpful to know who these guys are and whatnot.
Svitan, ex Colonel of AFU. He is extremely pro-Ukrainian in general, but even he admits that current government is anti-Ukrainian, and turned Pokrovsk into a concentration camp.
Ukrainians in general.
Ukrainians (at least those whom Zelensky's regime considers good cannon fodder) are imprisoned in Ukraine, and are kidnapped from the streets by ТЦК ("recruitment officers"). They don't want to fight.
I was just saying that that's why they're still fighting the invader. Can't
Who are they? The people that are mass imprisoned, either trying to escape the country or afraid leaving their homes because they are afraid of being kidnapped by ТЦК??
They are not fucking fighting, they are being forced to to the front lines by Zelensky's regime.
