“Ukraine: A War Crime – a book by photographers documenting the war’s first year“
I looked this up because Portuguese news was covering a gallery in Lisbon that showcases the photos in this book. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this done before for any war except maybe the very old ones.
Soldiers from special commando unit 112 with a Russian spy. The man, allegedly in possession of a fake Israeli passport, was living in Irpin months before the Russian invasion. Under interrogation he confessed his name is Alexei, from St Petersburg, married with a child and working for the Wagner Group
That one’s bizarre, it’s a civilian sitting in the mud barefoot with some sort of bag over his head and a rope round his neck.
So he lived in the area long before the invasion, but then was captured with an Israeli passport and under “interrogation” confessed to being a Russian spy?
And given the number of Nazis in the army, nothing about this seems off to the “Guardian-reading wokerati”?
Given the type of “interrogation” that probably went on is likely akin to US “enhanced interrogation”, I wouldn’t be surprised if reports confirmed that Pixies from Pluto were confirmed to be the instigators of the war because they were angry Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore.

I don’t think SBU or banderite purge squads are even this subtle.

No. Repeat after me: putler, orcs, evil must be stopped, glory to liberalism
The bodies aren’t even cold and they’re selling “memorial books” talking about how evil Russia is and how good and wholesome Ukraine is. It’ll fit perfectly on every lib’s bookshelf next to their Harry Potter novels.
It’s one thing for these fuckers to war profiteer directly, but to turn the war into such a spectacle that they sell books to libs in the west like this, to commercialize this war like this, I know they’ve been doing that the whole time, but this is just hitting me hard. It’s so intense they are literally selling the propaganda to libs, who eagerly grab it to stash alongside their Zelenskyy funko pop.
I kind of want to just tap out of the world for a bit, take a break from it now. I’ll try to take solace in the fact that this sort of thing will be used as an example in future history books of how deeply ingrained the concept of “commercialism” was during the capitalist era and the students reading will be utterly perplexed by it.
It kind of reminds me of when they took doors from Ukraine and made a museum showcasing them. It was incredibly weird and, honestly, very fucked up that they would do that so early in this conflict. The war isn’t even over and they’re capitalizing off it.
“A Ukrainian fighter from the Odin unit keeps watch”
why is it called the odin unit
Probably something to do with all the traditional Ukrainian nordic runes everywhere. I wanted to say “/s” but all things considering, nazi iconography is really traditional for them by now.
They love Thor movies…
it’s just their pet name for odessa, the home base of the unit
