U.S. embassy says Russian troops "shot and killed 10 people standing in line for bread" in northeast Ukraine

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said Russian troops "shot and killed 10 people standing in line for bread" on Wednesday in the decimated northeast Ukrainian city of Chernihiv. The embassy did not cite what evidence it had of the attack in a statement posted on its official Twitter account.

"Such horrific attacks must stop," the Embassy said in the tweet, adding that the U.S. government was "considering all available options to ensure accountability for any atrocity crimes in Ukraine."

...

There was little information on the alleged attack on civilians lining up for food in Chernihiv, but video posted to social media showed the purported aftermath, with a number of bodies on the ground.

One of those to post the video was Oleksandr Merezhko, deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, and chair of its Foreign Affairs Committee.

2. And Republican propagandists are still cheering this evil Russian shit

3. And of course, they denied it.

It's a fake video. No Russian troops in Chernihiv. They're all well outside, and not engaged in any offensive operations.

Just like the theatre in Mariupol. Not them.

The USSR's statements weren't quite this bad, for the most part. This is Baghdad Bob level crap. (Of course, the Arabic textbook I used for a while was focused on Iraqi Arabic, Saddam's Iraq being the largest of the USSR's Arabic-speaking allies. Libya wasn't a good ally with goofball Gaddhafi, and Syria was smaller, and under Carter Egypt stopped being reliably pro-Soviet.)


On edit: The air attack in Mariupol' that took out the theater also apparently targeted a public pool where people were sheltering. I assume it was an indoor pool.

4. Targeting civilians. . .Russia is full on war crime, genocide, scorched Earth warfare

They want to kill as many as they can.

Rape of Nanking had the same concept. . .tear the heart and fighting spirit out of Ukraine. If take Kyiv, just watch what will happen.

8. And there's the occasional thing of beauty.

In Chernihiv oblast earlier today, Ukr artillery did something.

Before and after picture of Russian arms/fuel cache.
