Ukraine has accused Russia of forcibly relocating thousands of civilians from Mariupol, the strategic port city devastated by Russian shelling. Russia is housing an estimated 5,000 at a temporary camp in Bezimenne, east of Mariupol, seen in satellite images. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said 40,000 had been moved from Ukraine to Russian-held territory without any coordination with Kyiv. A Mariupol refugee, now in Russia, said: "All of us were taken forcibly". Some Ukrainian officials describe Russia's actions as "deportations" to "filtration camps" - an echo of Russia's war in Chechnya, when thousands of Chechens were brutally interrogated in makeshift camps and many disappeared. It is an internationally-recognised abuse of human rights for a warring party to deport civilians to its territory.
Wonderful. What are you going to do about that?Thousands of Mariupol civilians taken to Russia
Since on numerous occasions Ukraine tried to negotiate humanitarian corridors out of Mariupol, I view this as hostage taking by the Russians.
Whataboutism.
Whataboutism.
never forget the people here who side with Putin (or excuse him).
Never forget Joseph McCarthy nor people that act like he did.
Quote: Whataboutism or whataboutery is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy, which (1) attempts to discredit an opponent's position (2) by charging hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving the argument.
Did I attempt to discredit a position?
Wonderful. What are you going to do about that?
Blind patriotism. Nationalism. Militarism. Anti-environmentalism. Anti Justice League.
Or perhaps just some true empathy for those Ukrainians who are being forced from the homeland and in to a country that they hate because it destroyed their city. Eh?
Sounds like the Azov Battalion who headquarter in Mariupol!Blind patriotism. Nationalism. Militarism. Anti-environmentalism. Anti Justice League.
Of course you did. You immediately tried to DILUTE the topic by comparing it to other events. That’s a form of “discrediting” it. It’s what you Putin lovers do constantly. You rush to bring whataboutism into any thread about Putin’s brutal invasion, in this case in just the third post. Please stay directly on topic.
Or perhaps just some true empathy for those Ukrainians who are being forced from the homeland and in to a country that they hate because it destroyed their city. Eh?
You're Hoover Dam right I diluted this deluded thread with an excellent example of hypocrisy.
Thank you for proving my point regarding your constant whataboutism. Putin loves you. And rightly so.
"True" empathy? More like selective empathy.
Kidnapping.Thousands of Mariupol civilians taken to Russia

Your defiance and poutrage is inspirational.What a truly stupid thing to say. If you can’t add to the topic with a thoughtful input, perhaps you should just stay quiet.
Kidnapping.
Why isn't the world calling this out?
If it's Ukrainians being sent to Russia, it is kidnapping.But how can an ethnic Russian, in all likelihood with families in Russia, winding up in Russia be kidnapping??
