I'm chalking this one up as once caught, please forgive me, because I really didn't know what I was bombing. If I were his interrogator, I'd be tempted to ask if he then would mind helping the good guys to locate Putin and his inner commanding pricks, after which he could lead an air bombing mission on top of their heads. That's my 'will never happen' fantasy for the day. :mad:

"But I carried out the criminal order," said Krishtop, a lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of the 47th Aviation Regiment, adding that he was shot down by Ukraine's air defense system and taken prisoner.




"I recognize the enormity of the crimes committed by me. I want to ask forgiveness from the entire Ukrainian people for the misfortune that we brought them," he said.


"I will do everything in my power to end this war as quickly as possible, and bring those responsible for this genocide of Ukrainians to justice."
 
If that's true, I'm certainly not surprised. There have always been horrible actions, regarding wars and such.
...and of course, the victors get to write the history. :(
 
Will be curious to see if they can get confirmation/independent verification of this. If true it does little to help Russia's already low standing in the court of international opinion.

Was there some confusion about either post you quoted where we say "IF it's true/can be confirmed"?

Hand him over to the ICC guys. Let them use him as a witness in Putzin's war crimes trial.
 
I have no doubt that trump's genius will murder whoever he needs to murder.
 
You can never trust much of any information like this during a war. In WW1 the British claimed that the Germans were celebrating in the streets of Germany after the sinking of RMS Lusitania. The British propagandists even claimed Germany declared a national holiday to celebrate the sinking of a passenger ship and the killing of civilians. It was a lie, but one that helped to draw the USA into WW1.

None of this is new, it is the same game propagandists have always played.

Russia may be targeting civilians, or it may be collateral damage. But when we are talking about tareting civilians during a war, does anyone actually believe the USA, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy or any of us have never done so?

War is hell as somebody once said. Why does that surprise anyone?

He wants to be sure he is kept in ukraine to stand trial. If they send him home he will be executed.

He will be tried along with all the others involved for war crimes. Just following orders is not a get out of jail free card.
 
I’m not defending Putin but bombing civilians has always been a part of modern warfare.
 
Add this to the long list of war crimes committed by Russia!
 
If they aren't aiming for civilian targets they are incredibly bad shots.

Russians said yesterday that they intended to hit the maternity hospital because it was being used as a base, for instance. This isn't secret.

I'd like some of the mobster types and their hench and hit men, to get to a point to tell us how many people Trump has pursued to have them coordinate to have killed.
If Trump goes to jail or dies... I think some of them will willingly began to spill the truth. I'd say go all the way back and get the truths about what happened to cause the helicopter crash that killed Trump Casino Executives . (NTSB said a scratch on blade is supposed to have caused it) - amazing!!!
